Hallelujah! He healed my body, Hallelujah! And he made me whole. I can go into testimony after testimony, Hallelujah, because I am a living testimony. My mother, when she passed away, she was almost 100 years old. She was a silver gray headed woman. I tell you she was Holy from the top of her head to the souls of her feet. Hallelujah. Never had her hair cut in her whole life, because God worked the miracles for her, he healed her many different times and raised her from the dead. But I want you to know I give Jesus the praise, Hallelujah! For what he has done, and what he is going to do. 

As we are preparing to set up the web site… you see for many, many years God would not allow us to mess with computers. He wouldn’t allow us to have internet, Hallelujah, up until this year. Jesus has connected us. God gave us someone to pay the internet bill for us each month. Hallelujah! And when God sets up something he works it all out. Hallelujah! So we are going to set up two web sites if it is God’s will to do so. And therefore we are going to minister the word of God, each week and carry it out like God wants it to and carry out God’s anointing. Hallelujah. We need you, the family of God to stand with us, praise God. If you need some body to minister the word of God to you and tell you what God says to do. Hallelujah! I’m available to you to minister the word to tell you what saith the lord. Hallelujah! I’m here according to the word of God and doing what God says do. I thank God for my spiritual son, Prophet Mckinley Crawford that lives on the other side of Atlanta, Georgia. He takes care of the computer and makes our DVDs. He is a great blessing to the ministry and he also teaches my wife on the computer. We both appreciate him so very much and all that he does to help the ministry. He is teaching my wife how to work the internet, thank you Jesus.

 We are preparing to go nation wide, Hallelujah, into the ministry because time is running out and Jesus is preparing to come for the church. Many people don’t know. They think they are ready. They think that they are right, but I am telling you today, Hallelujah, that Jesus is coming for the righteous. He is coming for the church, he is coming to take away the bride. The bridegroom is coming to take away the bride. As you might understand that Jesus is coming to take us up, Hallelujah, to rapture them out that is prepared for him in the name of Jesus. I just want you to know that we walk in the spiritual realm. I’m telling you as I am finishing up this recording, Glory, Hallelujah! Our name, Prophet David Martin & Prophetess Willie Lee Martin, P.O. Box 244, Thomaston, Georgia 30286-0004. Our cell number is: 706-478-7122.  All our information will be placed on the web site, by the young, Prophet Mckinley Crawford, Hallelujah! We give God the praise for him and for his wife and family, in the name of Jesus. We just praise God Hallelujah! I’m going to close off this here, if you need to talk to me or my wife or write to me. We encourage you to plant seed offerings to give to the ministry. Pay your tithes; make sure you give to God what is owed to God. You will see the miracles of God take place. You will see the manifestation of Jesus Christ take place, and if you call wanting to talk to me or my wife, she ministers over the cell phone just as much as I do. Hallelujah! We just thank God, and we give God the praise, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

It was a time to give God that time Hallelujah! And during that time, God moved in a mighty way. And during that time in 1988, my wife had passed away in 1986, I was in a situation because I was use to having a wife, Hallelujah, and responsibility. I had young women trying to seduce me several different times, different ones in different cities but I had to stand for Jesus and I had to be patient and I asked God, I said “God I need me a wife, the one you want me to have lord” he spoke to me,” I’ve given you a wife”. Hallelujah! And I said, “…well, Lord if you will let me know who it is, I’ll give you the praise and the honor.” Well at that time, black and white women were trying to have something to do with me. But my mind was on Jesus, and I was in Jesus, my work was doing what God said to do. And therefore the Lord spoke to me. He said “I have given you a wife; she is neither white nor black.” I said, “Lord who is she?” Jesus said, “I established her with you many years back to travel with you as a musician and co-worker, and he said she is a Cherokee Indian and he said this will be your wife.” I said, “Lord whatever that you want me to do, and how ever you want to do I except it.” First I told her that God said she was to be my wife, she was amazed and said “no not me Prophet Martin, I don’t feel worthy to be your wife.” I heard the voice of God speak to her, Jesus said, “I made you worthy just say yes to Prophet Martin”, and she said, “Prophet Martin but I don’t love you as a wife, but I love you in the lord as a shepherd over my soul with the love of Jesus.” And I heard God speak to her and say, “I made you worthy”. She said yes to Jesus and me. She said that Jesus will have to put a love in me for a husband and Jesus did just that.

 So the Lord spoke to me to tell the people that I had asked Evangelist Willie Lee Graham Jordan to be my wife. And she was so amazed and so surprised because we traveled together and she didn’t look at me as being her husband or anything but as a shepherd over her soul. But God had a way of bringing it together. On the 24th day of September 1988, we were married in the Thomaston, Georgia church at 4 o’clock in the evening. Jesus was standing beside Pastor/ Prophet Frank Watkins as he performed the ceremony. Even in our marriage as we had Apostle Tony Weaver give my future bride away. God moved in an anointed way, it wasn’t an ordinary wedding but it was carried out the way Jesus wanted it carried out, for he put his approval over us as he held his hands over us and then turned his hands over and his anointing flowed through us and in us, Hallelujah! Thank  you Jesus. We just appreciated Pastor/Prophet Frank Watkins fromGainesville, Florida and Apostle Tony Weaver fromAtlanta, Georgia our spiritual son. But we wanted to go and get our life started together. My wife is a great part of the ministry. We minister together and walk in the spiritual anointed realm of Jesus and do what Jesus says to do. We pray together and we seek the face of God. We speak the word as God gives them to us. Hallelujah! So we are just obeying what God says. I don’t care what people think or what people say, Hallelujah, as long as we know, that we know that who we are in Jesus because he is in our lives, our health, and our strength.

Hallelujah, and we just obeyed what God said to do, praise God. Before I got through with that revival, I had somebody else wanting me to come to their church. And there was this preacher there from out of state. He approached me about setting up a revival meeting a month or so ahead at his church. So I began in the full time ministry traveling, preaching and my family when they could, they went with me. But I could not take them all the time because it was too expensive, praise the lord. So after the revival was over at the first church I went and took my family home because the children had to go back to school that next week. We went back home. My wife that I was married to then, we were married for 25 years before God took her out (she had an attitude problem sometimes so God had to work this thing out to keep her in line with the ministry). But as I began to preach and minister, God began to give me different ones to travel with me in the ministry. 

God gave me 4 different people to travel with me in the full time ministry but God had a way of doing things that we didn’t understand, yet he always brought it to a head. So as I went into the ministry, we set up a revival in Crestview, Florida and set a tent revival in Andalusia, Alabama, it was about 50 miles from Crestview, Florida. We closed out the revival in Crestview, Florida from where we had the tent stored. We put it on the back of an open flatbed trailer, the tent and the equipment, with the Hammond organ and Leslie speaker. The sun was shining when we left Crestview, Florida. While we were picking up the tent, the devil decided that he would try to kill me again, but you know I serve a God, that is really awesome. I was bitten by a ground rattle snake, he bit me once, and before I could move to kick him out of my way he bit me again. I didn’t tell anybody that I was bitten by a ground rattle snake, but I went on took deathly sick and began to run a fever, I died for 14 minutes in back of the van on the sofa I was laying down. Mother Ware was one of the women that God put within the crusade team and she traveled with us. She had known me for many years and she worked with me when I was in revival in Palatka, Florida. She knew what I was in God and she knew I was a real man of God, I lived what I preached. Hallelujah! We also at that time had a young woman, which is now my wife but her name was Evangelist Willie Lee Jordan, at that time and she was a part of the ministry, my musician, secretary for the ministry, and my wife. She helped me drive. She also was taught how to work the computer for the ministry.

So the doctor came back in there and told the nurse to pull the needle out of my arm. But before we do that, get him to sign this paper. So I signed the paper stating that the hospital was not responsible for anything that happens to me for I released them from any responsibility. I want you to know that Jesus brought me through that situation; Jesus gave me victory over what was happening with the poison in my body. Jesus was my antidote, he counteracted the poison, hallelujah, and he gave me my life back, hallelujah. The doctors came back in there throughout the night. Early the next morning, they came in and found out I was very much alive. They said “well we are going to get you out of here into another room.” I said, “…but doctor I want to go home.” They said,  “the doctor said I need to keep you another 3 days, make sure that what we have given to you is not hurting you.” I said, “don’t worry about that, for Jesus has already taken care of that.” The doctor said “I wished I had your faith in believing what you believe.” He said, “but I don’t have that faith”, I said, “doctor if you will get what I’ve got in me in you, then you can have the faith that I have praise the lord.” They transferred me the next morning into another room. In that room, there was another man there. It was a semi-private room and Jesus had a way of deliverance and healing to bring forth salvation to somebody else, hallelujah. I am not going to go into the details of what happened, but I stayed in there 3 day and 3 nights, and the doctor came in and said, “we are going to release you, you can go home.” So I was released and I went back home. Before I went home back home, the night before while I was still in the hospital, Jesus began to talk to me. Jesus came in and stood by my bedside. He began to minister to me and he said, “Now is the time that you must go into the full time ministry, lean and depend on me and I will bring everything together. I will provide I will give you everything that you need for the ministry, and give you everything that you will need to go full time in the ministry”. Well …I didn’t ask God for a whole lot, hallelujah, for I knew he would supply all I needed to have to live and support my family. But my wife came to pick me up hallelujah we left and went home.

You see, I am submerged in the blood of Jesus. They didn’t understand why I was not afraid, why I was not upset, I was submerged in the blood of Jesus and the devil can’t come through the blood. When you are submerged in the blood…, glory to the name of Jesus. As we were going the paramedics were doing about 70 or 75 miles per hour. I kept seeing the one that was setting back there with me look out the back window and he asked me, did I know somebody driving a Chrysler? I said that’s my son, Lois, he was my oldest son and he was driving the car. He said “he needs to back up away from this vehicle; he is almost in the door”. So I told him to motion for him to back off away from vehicle and he did. So Lois backed up from the vehicle that we were in. When we got to Green Cove Springs,  Florida they rushed me in there. They had already called ahead and let them know what had happened. They rushed me in there. They left me on the same stretcher. They did not expect me to live, because I was supposed to be paralyzed, and different things were supposed to have happened. But you see, I serve a God that’s a living God, a God that keeps you and protects you, ‘cause as we have been submerged in the blood of Jesus, the devil can come to it, but he can’t come through the blood… oh glory be to the name of Jesus.

 When we got there, they rushed to put fluid in my arm. They took blood and ran to the lab and when it came back, they probably came back in about 15 minutes, and they said that there was enough poison in my blood to kill 10 men. The poison of a coral snake has the poison as cobra. They said you may survive, and you may not. They said it is a 50-50 chance on it. They began to give me some kind of antidote for the coral snake bite. But they were giving me an antidote for a rattle snake bite. I guess that they thought it was the same, but God let me know what was happening through out the night time the doctors were checking me. The doctors would come in and check me and the nurses would regulate the antidote that they were giving me, but I want you to know that I serve a God; a living God.

Praise the lord my friends, this is Prophet David Martin fromThomaston,Georgia. We are preparing this web site and I want to give you a little bit of history about our organization and our churches that we are setting up and have set up. We have been in the ministry since 1981, traveling, preaching tent revivals, preaching revivals in churches and such. We live according to the word of God, and we try to live Holy and walk in the spiritual realm of Jesus Christ. So firstly, I just want to give you a little bit of my background of how that God has given to me and spoken to me to do.

In the latter part of 1979 I was bitten by a coral snake. We lived in a little town called Satsuma,Floridaand we walked according unto the lord. We had 5 children, 3 boys and 2 girls, and we enjoyed what God had given to us. Satsuma,Floridawas a little small spot on highway 17 going south. But I was a pastor of a church right across the railroad tracks from where we lived and we just served God; me and my wife and 5 children that we had. We lived according to what God blessed us with. I also had a business, a diesel mechanic shop. I was a diesel mechanic for parts of my life, hallelujah, in order to be able to fulfill into the ministry. During this time, I was outside doing some work and I reached down and picked up some wood I was going to move and I felt something bite me. I didn’t pay that much attention to it and picked up the wood and kept walking down moving the wood. When I got the wood down there and put down the coral snake, they are pretty red, black and yellow and just as pretty as they could be looked like something to play with, but I knew better. I knew that it wasn’t something to play with after he had bit me on my hand. They have to chew on your skin in order to be able to get the poison in your skin. They have the same poison as a cobra, so the coral snake had been on my finger about 30-45 seconds or maybe a little bit longer. I was like Paul, I shook him off and I told the devil, “Satan I curse the poison and I send it back to the pits of hell in the name of Jesus”. Well about 5 or 10 minutes passed and it didn’t affect me.

I began to think about that thing, and as I began to think about it, it hit me that I may need to go to the doctor and let them check me out. So I went into the house and told my wife what happened. I didn’t tell her the correct time it happened. I was looking for a wire that you would wrap around the bread with back in them days. As I was looking, my wife ask me, “…what are you looking for?” and I told her a wire. She said “why do you want a wire wrapper for?” I told her I wanted to wrap it around my finger to stop the blood. She said “you’ve been bitten by one of them coral snakes…” I said yes, I was picking up some wood and the coral snake was under it and he bit me. She immediately went into a panic because she knew how deadly and how poisonous it was. It takes a while for the poison to get into your system and all. She immediately called our family doctor and he told her to get me to the emergency room in Palatka, Florida, which was about 8 or 10 miles from Satsuma, Florida. So I went out and got in the car. All my kids piled in the back seat of the car and my wife asked “do you want me to drive?” I said no, I’ll drive. I got in my old Chrysler and before we left, my son Carl went outside where the wood that I had put down where the snake had went underneath and put him in a jar.
