My Testimony - Knowing God and Making Him Known

By: Joel Hitchcock

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Introduction
My life has been filled with a multitude of supernatural encounters.
I titled my testimony, “Knowing God and Making Him Known,” because I feel that my life has revolved around this statement. In the Bible, the word, know means to know God intimately, and to love Him. I could have called my testimony, “Loving God and Making Him Loved.” Jesus said,
“Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself (Mark 12:29-31.)
To know God is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. To make Him known is to love our neighbor as ourselves. I trust that my testimony will inspire you to also know and love God, and also to make Him known.

Dreams come true
I looked upon those massive crowds in multiple countries. Multitudes upon multitudes stood there – eager to hear the Word of God, and to be healed of their infirmities.
To minister to them was truly a dream come true.
There they stood – thousands upon thousands of souls, coming into the Kingdom of God, and being healed of their diseases.
In Uganda, a rebel soldier who had been responsible for many killings, heard me say, “Even if you have killed someone, Jesus can save you!” He gave his life to Jesus, and God saved him.
In India, a crippled woman was carried to our crusade. Suddenly she saw a supernatural light flashing towards her, and heard a voice saying, “You are now healed.” She stood up and walked. Jesus healed her.
In South Africa, a man told us that someone with a baseball cap came into his room, and told him to come to our crusade, and there he would be healed. Who could this strange visitor have been? Could it have been an angel of the Lord?
In that same crusade, someone saw Jesus standing beside me as I prayed for the sick, one by one. She said that as I laid my hands upon people, Jesus was laying His hands upon them with me.
In another crusade, a woman was brought to the crusade in a wheelbarrow, padded with a cushion. She stood up out of that wheelbarrow, and she was healed. Hundreds attended that crusade, and a local pastor told us his church was packed out with people that received Jesus in that crusade.
In Pakistan, a lady was carried onto the platform, because she could not walk. In an instant, Jesus touched here, and she was healed. At first, she had something like a seizure, then she stood up, and walked.
All pandemonium broke out in that crusade. The big tent was filled with thousands of souls, and they pushed forward for prayer. I saw two women slap each other physically in their determination to get to the front to receive prayer. Of course, I don’t condone the slapping, but I appreciated their determination, and their faith that God would heal them.
In Venezuela, a crippled man stood up out of his wheelchair. This was an amazing miracle.
In one outreach in a tribal area, very far from civilization as we know it, Jesus showed up and healed the people. It started with the healing of a young man’s deaf ear. He could hear perfectly in that ear. From that point onward, it seemed like every person we prayed for in that meeting was healed.
I could cite numbers, but I have moved away from doing that, not wanting to neither overstate nor understate the numbers. God knows the real numbers of those who came to Christ, and continue to be swept into the Kingdom of God.
I can tell story after story, and I pray that my testimony will bless you and stir you to dare to believe God for the impossible. Let me tell you my story, my testimony…
