    Pastor I would like to say…thank you for the word you allowed the Lord to bring forth last night at Bishop Jones church. I am not a member there but you answered a lot of questions I had, as well as confirmed things. I have been through a great deal of things and I was wondering why I had to go through them. But when your Pastor prophesied to me I knew that you all really heard from God. I had just ask God to show me who he really his. I was raised in church and married at a young age and the woman I loved, was in loved with my pastor who was my uncle. I then left church and went into the gay life style and caught the virus(HIV), and decide to leave the life style and remarried my ex-wife, only to find out that while we were married for seven years, she was sleeping with my uncle six of those years. I hated church and I felt that God hated me. But I knew that I still felt a pull from God to come back. I saw God in you and I really thank you for allowing him to use you. Thank you Pastor Manny..thank!

      Thank you for reading my post. Since the last I’ve seen you my pastor has restored me back to ministry. And I would like to thank you for the word that you deposited into my spirit. Truly you are a man of God.
