Some years ago I was at a prayer meeting and when a brother came and asked me to leave the prayer leader and his team at home. When we arrived on site, as they went down the car, the Holy Spirit filled the leader of prayer in a powerful leading her to prophesy over my life. I remember his words saying, "Man, get your Bible." Quickly picked up, and full of authority told me: "Open the Book of Genesis, chapter 12 and read verses 1, 2 and 3. While discoursing the text, I felt something different and glorious was going on inside me!

In this passage, God makes grand promises to Abram. After reading, with a stare, he told me: "I do not understand everything, but God is making promises you a great ministry." Immediately I got off the car and I joined them to pray, and for a few moments, we were impacted with the manifestation of the Eternal Presence of God in our midst and God used her again in the prophecy saying, "Thus saith the Lord: He notes that date because I'll need it to make you remember the Promise. " Immediately, though with trembling hands, I noted that date 24 August 1997. Since then, that day marked in my life, by the prophetic word that came out of the mouth of a servant of God, full of the Holy Spirit.

Past few years, pastoring a church of the ministry which was part of before, I was invited to lunch at the home of a pastor, my friend. To sit at the table for lunch, suddenly, there comes a pastor of a particular church, with his wife and a missionary who was coming from Recife to minister in your church. Upon entering the house, he said: "I was passing by and God told to come here! The pastor friend of mine, he laughed and said jokingly: "You came here for lunch?". They sat at table with us and we started talking, though not introduced myself as a pastor, it was not long, and the missionary was filled with the Holy Spirit and began to prophesy over my life, saying: "At the end of that year, God will fulfill what you promised because you have been separated by Him to be Pastor of Pastors and God will give your hands on a great ministry. Do not be afraid. " That happened in February 2004.

Months later, I was awakened by a voice sweet and soft. I got up and did not hear anything! I took my breakfast and after finishing, I again heard the same voice sweet and soft. Apparently that day was for me a day like any other, but to God be the day that he would fill my office with his power tangible before my eyes.

I distinctly heard when the Lord said, "Son, go to the temple because there talk with thee." Apache got the car into the temple and getting there, I went directly to the cabinet. My intention was only to pray unceasingly, the more he prayed, the more he felt the burning desire to talk with God. Over time I began to notice that the atmosphere of that environment was no longer the same. There was something indescribable in that place, which I had never felt before!

My body began to tremble and tears slid over my face. It was unheard of! Supernatural! Copiously asked, "Lord, what you want from me?". When I finished talking, I felt the approaching towards me. I do not see Him, but His presence strongly felt. She was more real than my own life!

The Lord stood before me! I did not see His face, his lips or his eyes, however, I heard His voice like thunder inside me and every time he spoke, it seemed that my insides would explode. There are no words that can express all that happened and everything that I felt that morning, it was a unique experience and unspeakable in my life!

And God said, "Son, take your old Bible" (this was the Bible's prophecy that I received in 1997). Promptly went to the file and pick up the Bible was appalled by what I witnessed ... the Bible was hot! I returned to the bureau with Bible in hand and the Lord told me to open the Book of Genesis, chapter 12 and verse 1, 2 and 3. As I read the sentence and strongest impact was "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house to the land I will show you." And once again, the same sweet and gentle voice asks me: "What is the date today?" I got the calendar and to my surprise it was August 24, 2004. My mind has turned around 360 degrees and then began to show a movie in front of me, where exactly to 07 years ago, God used a prayer leader in prophecy saying, "He notes that date, because I'll need it to make you remember Promise. "

I confess that after being awake for the Lord, to hear him talk about a prophecy (promise) made by him to 07 years ago, my body started to fade, because I was powerless to respond and continue to walk and fell prostrate.

And the Lord said: "The day you leave the house of your father (pastor leader) and assume that the ministry put in your hands." But I answered: "Lord, thou hast searched me and know my heart and know that I can not go anywhere without my spiritual leader (senior pastor of the ministry to which he belonged) bless me." And the Lord said to me: "Do not worry, I'll do." The manifestation of the Shekinah of God now, but remained there for some time because I could not lift me.

On December 2, 2004, my spiritual leader has called me to talk and ended up telling experience I had with the Lord, he looked at me and said, "I knew you would not stay in this ministry for a long time and it would open its own ministry. " Paying attention to the words spoken by my father, pastor and spiritual leader, saw the promise of witnessing (prophecy) of God on my ministry. After the conversation that would define a new path for my ministry, we pray together and set up a cult with the whole Church on December 14, 2004, which he would take the official word of the night. In the last minutes of the message (preaching) said: "It is time the child leaving the home of his father, to build their own family." Then he called me, my wife and two children to make a prayer and blessed us saying, "You are free to grow and multiply." I will never forget this prayer and received teachings from him.

Four days after the service, I woke up with a word in my heart ... Shekinah! During 02 consecutive days spent listening to it all the time, she did not leave my heart nor my mind. I asked myself asking, "Is that really the name of the ministry? It is a name so different from the others! Help me Lord! "

And he confirmed the name of the Ministry saying, "Shekinah!" Even without understanding the depth and origin of this name, which had to do was obey the voice of the Spirit. So I talked to my dear wife: "This will be the name of the ministry which God has entrusted in my hands, Shekinah !!!". And the Lord asked us to do a band named Shekinah, to be presented and played by the hands of the whole Church on the night of December 31, 2004 and did the will of the Lord.

On December 31, 2004 in the cult of Gratitude to the Lord spoke to the whole Church as God was present in our lives. I asked some workers to help open the TRACK and realized that some of them could not stand and so as the Lord, I summoned all the people of God to touch the name Shekinah. This was a prophetic moment, unique, unprecedented and indescribable! As the brothers played in prophesying NAME blessings, growth and multiplication, God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

The atmosphere of that environment was no longer the same, because there was a powerful demonstration of God's Shekinah, or "God was present."

>How to have standing in front of a supernatural power and infinite of the Almighty? That night people had their lives changed, healed, restored, forgiven and baptized in the Holy Spirit. And God again confirmed His Name this ministry. This was the consecration of the Apostolic Ministry Shekinah, in the spirit realm.

And in the first moments of the day January 1, 2005, was born the Apostolic Ministry Shekinah. A Church of prophetic nature, whose purpose is to announce among the nations of the earth the glory of the Lord.

Regardless of race, color or social level, people take the opportunity to have their lives changed and marked forever. Only through the Gospel of Grace and Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, we return to the intimacy of our Heavenly Father and receive the promise of eternal inheritance, so that we may walk before Him in worship, holiness, justice, peace, joy the Holy Spirit and enjoying all spiritual and material goods gained in Christ. Because our mission is to make the IDE of the Lord and serve him always in love, always ready and willing to reach and rescue the lost souls, however, loved by us and the Lord.
