Testimonies from The Father's House of Stockton

The Testimony of Jesus is The Spirit of Prophecy Revelation 19;10 My first skateboard is a physical confirmation as to the above statement. Sometime I believe in April of 2009 I acted on a Personal Prophesy given indirectly to me by Chad Taylor at the end of 2008 after a service at the Fathers House in Stockton. "He doesn't know it yet, but he will be skating, young people will look at this "old" guy and wonder. This will be an opportunity to share Jesus". One day around April of 2009 I acted on this prophecy. I entered a skateboard shop in Jamestown and while in the midst of having this board assembled with it's original componites, (all is the same except fresh paint, stickers and the wheels of which I continue to role upon for Jesus), my prayer buddy Rich comes walking in the door. He is not from this town and had no idea that I was there, much less having a skateboard assembled. The shop owner finishes assembling the original complete board. I take it outside where Rich is delivering Propane and we lift it up to Jesus as a banner for Him to use. While engaging in yet another series of meetings with Chad this time in Oakhurst, January 1st 2010 I call another prayer buddy, John and express to him how awesome it had been in 2009 ministering at 25 different skateparks, etc. (Many young people from preteens, on into their twenties had encountered the Testimony of Jesus as well as older, some of which recieved Jesus into their hearts. I expressed to John that for 2010 I wished for a double portion of what happened in 2009. I hung up with a bit of sadness not really knowing if this is what the Lord really wanted from me in 2010. But as soon as I entered the very first meeting, a stream of events took place that confirmed the desires of my heart. Lewis a native American pastor says to me double portion this year. Barbara the lead singer of Prophetico band says double portion. And then as I am worshiping with banners. The Lord personally says. Yes son, I will give you grace for a double portion. His direct word hits me like a powerful infusion of grace. And I say back to the Lord with tears gushing forth! Lord! You really mean that you will give me grace to do this? I can hardly retain the elation of this encounter. Last year was really cool with not only the skate ministry but also the Ministry to Yosemite the international harvest field, and the Lord is saying to me that He will give me the grace to see a double portion of activity. WOW! Thank you Jesus! Let it be! Loren Snider Jnissi@hughes.net

At the end of a Chad Taylor service at the Fathers House toward the end of 2008 in the back of the seating area Chad is talking to several young people and then all of a sudden points towards me and tells them that He doesn't know it but he is going to skateing and a young person will wonder what this "old" man is doing and it will open up the door to share Jesus. About April of 2009 I ventured out to a local skateboard shop and as I was having a skateboard made up, in walks my prayer budy Rich who had no idea that I was there or what I was really doing. The shop owner finishes my board and I take it outside where Rich is delivering propane and we lift it up as a banner to be used of the Lord. I begin venturing out skating at different skateparks and discover the truth of this prophecy and more and more realize that 'the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy' Rev. 19:10. As 2009 winds down, more and more kids and adults as well recieve the Testimony of Jesus. Many do not even own a Bible and I freely hand out the Gosepel of John to different ones telling them that the person who wrote this book was the closest person next to Jesus. They listen with great iterest. Kids will actually follow me around as I skate. Some times I will catch eyes with a young person and they will say something like. "Just how old are you anyway"? I typically tell them that I am 61 and just how I got into skating pointing to a gospel tract saying that it was the guy in the background who got me into skating. This guy is of course Jesus, the one who is holding up the modern day man who still has a mallet in one hand and a spike in the other hand, whith a residue of blood on his hand. The title of this tract is forgiveness and the kids and adults almost without fail gladly recieve it. Once in a very large skatepark in Sacramento, a 39 year old second generation pool skater encounters me wondering about my age. His mom had been praying for him about 40 years and the Lord gives me the priveledge to lead him into relationship with his King, Jesus right in the middle of this great park. Praise God!

So we headed for the other location not knowing the address we were looking For it was supossed to be on the miracle mile we drove down & back up not seeing the place. We were going to go back one more time in the process of having to make a left turn instead of a u turn we drove into a gas station stopped there was a man standing about 20 ft away we said God Bless you to him and he started yelling thank you you could see the deperation on his face, We called him over said we wanted to pray for him . He was crying out hanging on to me like it was the last day of his life or something. He invited Jesus in to his heart you could feel the passion that this man had as he cried out to God Saying I'm Sorry, he said God you are so mercifull,We spoke the peace of God & destiny into his life, his head barried into my chest hanging on to me as we spoke peace & love into his life tears of peace & joy he said thank you very much.I almost couldnt hold back my tears of joy.

I wanted to give testimony of a wonderful experience at The Father's House, on Friday, July 14,2007, while in worship with Chad Taylor. There was an atmosphere of corporate worship for over an hour and Chad began to speak about the Russian (Rushing) Might Wind that was coming to Russia -- and the worship rose and then the singers were on the ground with their microphones on the ground; the pianist was not playing, and the only instrumentalists were our drums and base. Suddenly I began to hear a heavenly voice -- an angelic voice in surround-sound dimension. I glanced at our worship singer and she looked up with amazement and mouthed "who's voice is that?" I then glanced at the pianist and her hands were lifted and she was smiling and shocked as well -- then I glanced at our worship leader and his hands were off his guitar. The entire time this was going on, there was a beautiful voice singing and the instruments were still playing supernaturally. Most in the room heard the beauty of this chorus -- it was hard to tell whether it was one angelic voice or many -- it was all surrounding and all-encompassing. The visitation lasted about 5 minutes and was quiet -- Chad spoke that "angels are singing" shortly after the voice began. It was marvelous and I can still hear her voice in my ears. Thank you Lord for your favor over our lives~!
