Brother Bailee Ricketts
February 11th, 2018, I decided to go to church, as prior to that day the Lord was speaking to me telling me to come home as I was under the decree of death and everything around me was death and/or dying. On the morning of February 11th, 2018, I did not know what to expect walking into the Foundation of Truth Ministries. Little did I know that a few months later I would be “Saved” and experience true salvation. Brought out of darkness into the marvelous light. As I walked in the building, I seen Pastor in the back of the building preaching with passion and might the living Word of God. As I walked in, the anointing instantly hit me, and the Word of God pierced my heart. I remember smiling as I walked in, and he smiled back. I knew it was different. I sat in the back, and I was listening to the Word with everything in me, even though I may not of understood fully at the time. My desire was to hear the truth, to know the truth and I knew that day I was hearing the truth at “The Foundation of Truth Ministries”. I had about $260 in my wallet which I usually don’t carry cash but that day I wanted to give. I knew there was something different about this Holy Man of God. A wisdom not many if any possess. I begin to cry as the word pierced my heart. The Word of God that was coming out of Pastor’s mouth by way of the Holy Ghost cut my heart. I felt a need to support this small ministry. With that said I pulled $200 out of my wallet and earnestly gave to the Ministry as an Offering. Through the next couple of months Pastor began to sow into me and Shared the Word with me and every time it was piercing my heart. The Lord was preparing to put a measure of his spirit inside of me and bring me out of the mess I was in for the last few years.
May 12th. 2018 at 7:15 am I woke up with the Lord on my mind. Out of nowhere I prayed and said, “Lord thank you for waking me today, I want to know you God”. I didn’t know why but the Lord had me to pray, and it was like I couldn’t open my eyes if I wanted to. Suddenly, I felt a cold breeze on the top of my head, and I began to raise my arms up over my head and I started crying out to God and I began to speak in tongues, and it seemed like it was getting clearer and clearer the more I spoke in this unknown language. I couldn’t control it. The Lord had me in a place of prayer and worship. I fell to the ground and continued to worship and could not get up. I kept worshipping my savior and I could feel my body become weaker and weaker the more I worshipped him. I believe he was crucifying my mortal body. I then grabbed my phone off the vanity and I called Pastor and Sister Victorian. For around 45 minutes straight we worshipped together as I was being filled with the Holy Ghost. I was lying in the living room and the presence of the Lord was in the room like a wind sweeping through the room. It was an experience I will never forget.
Since then, the Holy Ghost has been working through me and has given me strong convictions that I never had prior to being saved. I now have the power for the first time to fight my flesh and weakness. I now realize that I don’t have to live in sin and weakness. I have the power of God’s might to come out and crucify my flesh, to let the Holy Ghost have free course through my body and lead my thoughts and decisions. Pastor is my Father in the Faith and has shared the deeper things of God with me. I love the Saints and God revealed that The Foundation Truth Ministries is my family. I try to show it and deep in my heart I love the Saints. I want to serve God and the Saints. The Lord spoke to my Heart and revealed to me that he is preparing me. Not sure what that is, but God’s Will will prevail, and I am going to fight a good fight and stand firm until he reveals it.
The Foundation of Truth Ministries preaches a more excellent way a cording to our covenant which is built on better promises. I thank God for The Saints, Pastor and Sister Victorian and for The Foundation of Truth Ministries.
