In 2011 a School of the Supernatural was established to equip the Saints for the work of the ministry. This school is a nine month school to prepare the students for preaching, prophetic ministry and miracles.
We are coming to a close for the first year students and God said to give them an opportunity to write whatever God has put on their hearts. Only some of the students have turned in their work to be published. I am very pleased to release the work of Paula Loveless, Joseph Basurto, Dawn Vitale and Jackie Money. They have written some pretty awesome chapters for this book, which are sure to reveal God’s love. I (Bill Vincent) wrote a chapter for the end of this work and we all hope you enjoy the writing prepared for the heart of God.
Sometimes I look at life like a book - filled with experiences and chapters. “Over the Threshold” is the latest chapter in my life and it all started in April of 2011.
My friend Mary called me and didn't even say “hi.” Her conversation started with "Paula, you need to come up to Collinsville (Illinois) and hear this man minister. I've never heard anybody this accurate!" I have to admit it sparked my interest. Plans were made, and my husband and I traveled to Collinsville to hear this man. When we arrived I kept looking for him, but I couldn't figure out who the speaker was. Finally when the meeting started, I noticed a young man at the front of the room pacing, singing, and encouraging others to join in. When the praise and worship ended he moved into prayer and the preaching. Mary arrived at this time, and I leaned over to her and asked, "Is this the man?" She grinned at me and nodded. She didn't remember his name, but after he preached for a while, gold dust was all over his hair, face, and the podium. It was at that point that I was quite sure that God knew his name.
As the service moved on, he began talking about the Glory of God. He moved about the room looking at everyone. My husband began to squirm and I just knew that he was getting ready to pounce on this poor young man if he said one word out of place to me. Mary, knowing my husband, Sam, just gave me a reassuring look that said, “It will be alright.” Sure enough this man began to prophesy and tell me things that only Sam, Mary, and I would know...and then things that only Sam and I would know....and then only things that God and I only would know. Sam did not come out of his seat and his squirming lessened. Later I thought about the woman at the well with Jesus. She said, "He told me everything I ever did." Then I realized God told me (through this man) many of the things I have done and even many of the thoughts of my mind.
After a week or so, Mary and I figured out the young man's name, Bill Vincent, and three months later we enrolled in the first class of The School of the Supernatural with the Holy Spirit with Bill as our teacher. My dear husband Sam has not squirmed since that first meeting, and that, in itself, is a testimony to the purity of Revival Waves of Glory Ministry, because my husband is very sensitive to the spirit of God. If something is not right, Sam is out of there!
I treasure the things God has done for me over the past 10 months. It reminds me of the song lyrics, “HE [God] healed my body, HE touched my mind and HE saved me just in time!” All the Glory goes to The Lord God Almighty for the miracles I have seen and have experienced in the school and at the services. However, the thing that has changed my life the most is realizing that God knows everything about me - EVERYTHING!
There was a time in my life when depression came in, and it felt like God was not there. Those thoughts have plagued me for 28 years. I felt like I had done something wrong to cause such a separation from my savior. Guilt and condemnation were my bed fellows, tormenting me at night. But GOD found a way to reach me in the yielded vessel of a young man that would speak the very words that my loving Heavenly Father had wanted to speak to me for 28 years -the very words that brought me over the threshold from unbelief to belief, from sorrow to joy, from abandonment to acceptance, and from darkness to light.
Even the very hairs on our heads are numbered by God. I now understand His watch and care over me. When the prophetic word came that God was going to cause new hair growth, my hair was falling out, breaking off, and no one knew the extent of it. My head began to tingle as soon as the word was spoken, and within a few weeks my hair had grown and was full again. HE even knew every hair on my head.
One word from God can change your life forever. I tell you all of this, not to lift up any man, but to let you know that God desires to speak to His children, to love His children, to bring them over to where He is....Over the threshold into HIS LOVING ARMS.
Through this experience I came to know what a caring, loving, sensitive God we have, a God who understands and meets our own particular needs. I was just getting involved with the Charismatic Catholics in St. Louis who had become a very strong group and they were meeting for a Charismatic Mass every Saturday evening at Sts. Peter and Paul Church (One of the only churches in the St. Louis area that would allow this). I was enjoying and getting so much out of these evenings that I wanted more, more, more. They began a 6 week Life in the Spirit Seminar that was held after the Saturday evening Mass. It was held in the basement of a very large old building. It sort of reminded me of what I thought the Apostles did in the early days. The first couple of weeks we heard talks about God’s love and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, one of which is the gift of praying in the Spirit (or Tongues). Having been raised Catholic I knew very little about this and had been cautioned by the nuns to be suspect about the “Holy Rollers”. Needless to say these meetings were so Spirit filled; the anointing was so powerful; and the praise and worship was something I cannot even put in words. Angelic, Heavenly, might do, but it was apparent that the Catholics were being set free and it was awesome. Anyway, I really wanted to be able to speak in tongues but it just didn’t happen when I would try. So I asked God to help me and to please do it in a way that I wouldn’t be uncomfortable or embarrassed. So during worship I thought I heard the Lord telling me to sing short sounds that would blend in with the songs. I did this and it was after about 10 minutes that I knew the gift was being activated in me. I was really excited and began crying and singing at the same time. After the singing stopped and everyone began worshiping in tongues I was so thrilled to be able to worship with them in the language of the Holy Spirit. The gratitude and the wonder at my gentle God was an overwhelming feeling to me. I knew that this is a special gift to be cherished. And again I knew that He knows me as Jackie and cares for me, Jackie. After that evening I was free to pray in tongues whenever I wanted. And I cherish the gift. I love to sing in the Spirit at services. I love that when I am frustrated or begin feeling angry or upset in any way I can pray in the Spirit and know God knows my heart. I know that when praying or singing with others in the Spirit we are raised to a higher level in the Supernatural. I love that when I am trying to decide something and having trouble making a decision that I can quietly pray in the Spirit and clarity comes. When I just want to communicate, praise, or thank my God I can pray in tongues and it’s from my heart and better than words I could think to say. These are just a few of the reasons I cherish the gift. Praise and thank you Lord! Alleluia!
