Something similar happened to an evangelist friend of mine when he was still in his youth. He was invited to speak at a church in Canada. When he got off the plane, the pastor met him with a surprised look on his face, saying “You’re not Morris Cerullo!”. The pastor had a great hunger for signs and wonders to be restored to his church and thought he had booked a week of meetings with Morris Cerullo. The shocked pastor asked the young man if he had a signs and wonders ministry. He answered, “No”. The pastor looking at his watch said “you’ve got four hours to get one” and then took him to his hotel. Out of desperation the young evangelist cried out to God and God honoured his cry. That night was the beginnings of the signs and wonders ministry that has marked his life to this day. God orchestrated these circumstances so that this young evangelist would earnestly pursue spiritual gifts.
