A MEMORIAL MOMENT
A VISIT WITH DR. ROY H. HICKS SR., MARCH 15, 2007
Dr. Hicks pulled my hands to his chest and asked me to pray that the Lord Jesus would come and get him. I laid hands on him for the Lord to come. He laid hands on me and anointed me to finish my ministry. We shared private things, family things, friend- ship things, and ministry things. We reminisced some, and then he grabbed my head with both hands and pulled me to his chest. He prayed in tongues and anointed me to finish my course and ministry. He then began to cry and said,“I’m going to tell you three things: One, you’ll never know what your friendship has meant to me through all these years. You don’t know how much you were loved. Thanks for standing with me through the years. You’re my closest friend. Two, I don’t want you to feel bad for me or ashamed of the way I am now.I just want you to pray I get to go home to Heaven.” He became really bold and said,“Third, you see that door? I want you to leave now. Don’t come back because I won’t be here—I’m on my way to Heaven!”
MY FAVORITE VERSES
Psalm 1:1–3
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate
day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Acts 20:24
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Acts 20:26–27
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
2 Chronicles 15:7
Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall
be rewarded.
Job 23:12
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Psalm 35:27
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity
of his servant.
Matthew 1:21
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE STORIES
ONE PERSON CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
In 1858, a Boston Sunday school teacher named Kimball began visiting one of his students at the shoe store where he worked as a clerk. Eventually he led him to Christ. That student’s name was D.L. Moody.
Twenty-one years later, Moody, now an evangelist, visited London, and a great spiritual awakening took place. F.B. Meyer, a local pastor, went to hear Moody, and his life was transformed. Later Meyer went to America to preach, and in one of his meetings a student named J. Wilbur Chapman got saved. Chapman became active in the YMCA, where he met and discipled a former baseball player called Billy Sunday.
Sunday became a great revivalist, and in one of his crusades in Charlotte, a group of businessmen came to Christ. A year later they decided that their city needed another crusade, so they invited Mordecai Hamm to be their speaker. After three weeks Hamm left town, discouraged because he’d only had one convert—a twelve- year-old boy called Billy Graham!
One Sunday school teacher started it all! One brother, Andrew, led another brother called Peter to Christ; and Peter brought multitudes. One woman, whose name he still doesn't know, led David Yonggi Cho, pastor of the world’s largest church (800,000 members), to Christ.
One person–just one–can make all the difference.You can be that one!
