When I Planned This by Larry Booker

Sermon text on Job 1. Bishop Booker’s testimony. “n 1971, while living in Denver I began praying to God on a daily basis that He would have mercy on me and have His way in my life (even though I continued in my sin)…

I told God that if He would save me and get out of that town I would do anything in the world for Him. Little did I know that 650 miles away in the city of Bartlesville, Oklahoma an old friend of mine was praying for me. As he prayed, he heard a voice speak to him these words, “Arise, go get Larry. He is ready now.” He jumped in his car drove all night, picked me up and took me home.

I had no idea what kind of church he belonged to, but the first night in church I heard once again about being baptized in the name of Jesus and receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost. I could not believe it, but what I had ran from, in Colorado was waiting for me in Oklahoma! I did it.. and God did it!”
