South Florida
August 31, 2016
June 1971 God sent me to South Florida to
manage a small animal hospital in Opa-locka. I was not a small animal
veterinarian; I basically did large animals, primarily horses. In my practice
I was used to driving to calls and working in large stalls, barns and
pastures. When I arrived to manage the hospital I was confined to a small
building with just a small courtyard where people could walk their pets. I
felt very restrained. One day not long after I got there I spoke to God, “I’ll
be glad to stay here but you are going to have to change my heart.” My heart
changed immediately and I was content. I was the only veterinarian in the
clinic, only the Lord was my boss. I worked for a woman that wasn’t too
trustworthy but I did very well and the clinic prospered.
I started a
bible study in my house in Hollywood, Florida. I invited employees of the
clinic and they invited others. I taught the bible to mostly those employees
and would minister to them even at work.
One Friday night a woman
rushed into my bible study. She announced, “This is my fifth bible study this
week.” She went on, “I didn’t have time to fix my children dinner so I just
fixed them some popcorn.” That was too much for this disciplined father to
listen to. I sent her home and told her to go fix dinner for her family. She
never came back.
Patti (my wife now in heaven) and I had a woman from
Oregon that lived in our house for a month. She had been a missionary to Cuba
along with a man and his wife. They shared with me that for five years the
Holy Ghost warned them that a cruel dictator would take their county over if
they didn’t repent. That cruel dictator has been obvious for many years.
When I took the clinic over they gave me a sawed off shotgun for my
protection. I said take this thing out of here the angels of God surround this
place day and night. I never had any trouble the entire time I was there.
My secretary of the clinic had worked both in veterinary clinics and in
physician’s offices. She was very talented. One day while at work I mentioned
a Ouija Board and she ran away. After I found her I asked her why she ran
away. “Oh please, don’t say those words.” I asked, “What words?” “No please,
don’t say them!” was her response. I continued, “Are you saying the Ouija
Board?” She responded, “That thing told me three times to commit suicide.” I
said, “What did you do?” She answered, “I tried to.” I delivered her right
there from that wicked witchcraft spirit from the Ouija Board.
One day
working in my office a woman came in that had all kinds of jewelry covered
with serpents. I said something to her and she shouted, “Oh, God told me I was
going to meet a prophet today!” When one of my employees heard the
conversation she ran away and hid. When I found her I asked, “What is wrong
with you?” She said, "People like that speak curses on people and some die"!
That employee was a woman was from South Africa. She was afraid of the devil.
I told her, “Don’t be afraid of the devil!”
On another day my secretary
was standing behind the counter and a man walked in. He started to talk then
threw up his hands and ran out the door. Just a few minutes later he tried to
hold up a telephone repairman working on a pole. The man ordered him to come
down. Before the telephone worker came down he called the police. The police
were close by and killed the intended robber.
A man walked into the
clinic later that year and said he was opening an attack dog kennel right
there about a hundred yards away from me. He had a hundred attack dogs,
Doberman and German Shepherds in training. God used him and them to clean up
the neighborhood where I was managing the clinic. Things got very peaceful.
I believe the primary reason God sent me to South Florida was to meet
Derek Prince. It was during this period of time when I got to know Derek and
Lydia Prince really well. I was invited to just come over to their home in
Fort Lauderdale any Thursday afternoon that they were in town. Derek and I
would do burgers and hotdogs on the grill and then we would have a meal
together. We had some good fellowship together. I was there when Discipleship
was introduced. I was present at the first meeting. God was leading me and I
saw early that the movement was not of God. Not long after that God told me to
return to North Texas.
God bless you,
God bless,
