He perfectly balanced his strictness with grace, love, and compassion.

The next couple pastors I had ruled with an iron fist. No patience, compassion, or inspiration. He warned us that the UPCI was becoming a white washed tomb.

No, he didn't tolerate the new age or occult things like ouji boards, tarot cards, crystals, etc. But he didn't throw the baby out with the bathwater either. He'd laugh when men would call him a warlock because he believed in and practiced the gifts. People either thought him a warlock or a prophet, though he'd never call himself anything but a man in love with Jesus. At our annual FEAST conferences they'd call him a prophet, but he'd dismiss it...he was truly humble. He firmly believed in the supernatural aspects of walking in the Holy Spirit, and demonstrated it almost daily.

I will be honest, I believe he was a prophet.
So, do you believe that if he was in your shoes he would of went your direction? What would he had done if he was in your shoes under those pastors? Would he be in the same place you are now?
