Testimony:
A BRIEF BACKGROUND ABOUT
SANDY WARNER
My Life in the
Lord Jesus Christ
Hi Loved Ones,
I have had many ask me for this, so I am sharing a
portion of my background of my life in the Lord Jesus.
Although I was raised outside of the evangelical church
community, I was raised by my Mom to pray and trust in
the Lord Jesus and I really cant remember not believing
in Him. I prayed about everything because I learned at
any early age of His abiding friendship and help. I
learned to lean upon Him.
My family did attend the Presbyterian church a few times
a year and on Easter, but my memory was only hearing the
Old Testament Bible stories and not about Jesus. At the
age of 16 a friend invited me to their after school
fellowship at their Baptist church and I was
flabbergasted to meet all these passionate kids who all
loved Jesus like I did, and they prayed regularly. I had
never met anyone else like me before and it was like
fresh rain to know I was not the only one and that I had
a family of believers. Finding these people strongly
validated my life in the Lord.
When I was 17, I was invited to a Charismatic church
camp and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and
spoke in tongues. You may read about that testimony by
clicking here. After graduation I attended a
Charismatic Bible college in hopes of finding my
husband. Smile, back then it was affectionately called
Bridal college because most females attended for that
exact reason. I did not find Mr Right and moved to
another college and found my beloved Wayne in the church
I attended. We were married in 1976 and had one
wonderful son.
On August 22, 1984 I was camping with my son and Grandma
Anna at the ocean. The Lord visited me in our camping
trailer and I saw His white robe, His feet and also His
staff as He waved it over me. The next day as we were
sitting in the sand, I heard His voice tell me my
calling. That was enough to wake me up and soon after
that He started granting me visions, dreams and hearing
His still small voice. I was coming alive with the
passion of intimacy with Him!
In November, while sleeping He visited me again and
handed me a solid gold pen and His Presence descended
upon me and quickened me. I fell under the power of His
Spirit and when I woke I wondered what the pen meant!! I
just packed it away in the spiritual pantry that He was
rapidly building of visions and dreams, and really didnt
think much more of it.
One week later I had this yearning to write an article
on how God speaks to me, as I wanted others to be able
to hear Him in the special ways He talked to me. I had
written term papers in college so I thought maybe I
might try to submit an article someplace. My dad had
recently given us our very first computer and so I
thought I would give it a try.
That day I sat down and wrote all day. I thought I would
start the article with an introduction and it ended up
being prophesy that just flowed out of me. At the end of
the day, I had not written one thing I had intended
about hearing Him! As I walked down the hallway to go to
bed, I said outloud, “Lord, this is no magazine article!
This is a BOOK!” Immediately the Holy Spirit washed over
in waves and waves of His awesome Presence. It was so
amazing, it would not stop. I was just melted in a
puddle of goose bumps and warm waves washing over me up
and down my body. I needed no other confirmation, it was
such a powerful experience. It was THEN that I
remembered the solid gold pen!!
Today I smile when I think of that first-taste,
first-day, first-toe-in-the-water introduction that was
long ago deleted. One of the things the Lord told me
was, “The introduction wont last the book.” I had no
idea what that meant until it all came to pass before
the book got published. (smile)
I have been writing ever since that time. I have walked
in the calling of His scribe and a prophetic
intercessor, where I have spent most of my hours day and
night recording His Words and carrying them in my
heart... trusting Him to bring His precious Words to
pass.
In 1997 He released me to be His witness of what I have
seen and heard from Him and He led me step by step to
release His seeds onto the internet. Many years prior to
that I had a couple visions of the internet, His
newspaper going through satellite, phone lines and cable
lines. I had promises of it, but had no idea what it all
meant since the internet was not yet in existence.
My passion to this day, in fulfillment of several
visions is to build a huge storehouse for the children
of the harvest to be fed and equipped in their faith and
relationship with the Lord. They strongly need to be
confirmed that yes they are hearing Him and they will
take off rapidly in their own relationships, having it
modeled for them. It is much better to teach one how to
fish, rather than to hand him the prepared meal.
It is my earnest prayer and desire that the Lord draw
you to His quickened Words that you need for your life.
And that you will find the tools you need to be launched
and established in your walk in Him. I ask the Lord to
bless all those who feed at the Quickened Word and
release His wonderful impartation of His Presence,
comfort and edification.
With much love,
Sandy |
