A Short Testimony
of David CurtmanDear Brother Richard Gan,
I am writing a short testimony to let you know how powerful the Lord is working today through the lives of sinners like me, and to tell others how powerful the Lord is working through you and your ministry, "Prophetic Revelation".
My name is David Curtman, I live in Springfield, Missouri, USA. I have been in the music business most all of my life playing secular music for a living.
Two years ago I owned a small night club. My family and I invested our life savings into it and just about the time we got it remodeled and up and running, the Lord started doing a powerful works in our lives, especially mine. I had been reading the Bible and considered myself a Christian about a year before this, but I did not want to give up my secular music career that I had been in since age 11. I had since taught my two sons to play and we had a very successful family band. Soon, the Lord used the night club scenario to show me the error of my ways and thinking. As the Holy Spirit started working in me to clean-up the night club (posting rules of "no profanity", "proper dress", etc.), that was when the patrons (customers) rebelled and our business soon fell off to near zero. It was time to go out of business and I knew it. I remember making the remark, "We should have opened this place as a church" and I knew then, that was the Holy spirit speaking through me.
It was a hard thing to do, but we closed down the night club and took a huge financial loss on the whole ordeal when it was over. But I felt the world was lifted off my shoulders, for the power of God had delivered us out of that worldly atmosphere (when to the best of my thinking it could never happen, and a few months before, I didn't even want it to happen!). Somewhere deep down in my being there was a predestined seed there telling me to get out. I just thank the Lord for that.
I started to read the Scriptures more and more. As my faith grew stronger and stronger, I started trying to find out just what denomination I was. I had gone to an Assembly of God church as a youth till I was about 13 years old. Now thirty years have gone by, and all I really knew was that I enjoyed reading the Holy Bible more than anything else I could think of. But I didn't know what denomination I was in because, in researching the A.O.G. churches of today, they had certainly changed in the last 30 years, and all the groups on TV and radio sure didn't seem to preach the Bible like I had been reading it. (I had read the Bible 3 times consecutively and I'm on my 4th time through.) My family and I were paying tithes and living just as good a life as we knew how, but we were coming up spiritually empty, and the churches we attended were just not right in my heart.
Then one day, frustrated and broken down, I remember throwing my hands up in the air, saying "Lord I give up, I don't know what to do". So I started praying for "the Truth", I knew my Bible had truth in it but, "was there any left in the world"?
I continued praying and my faith was getting stronger. I prayed each time for "the Truth" for about two months. Then on November 7th 2003 , "THE TRUTH" was revealed to me through the power of the Holy Spirit, connecting me to Brother Richard Gan's website, "PROPHETIC REVELATION", a place I would have never dreamed THE POWER OF GOD would be —
the Internet. But, He was there, the Truth was there, and the Power was there — in His Word. And I rejoiced and read everything I could! Finally, this wonderful Bible that I had been reading made complete sense to me and I've seen and understood THE MESSAGE, "God's Love Story for the History of the World"!Through "Prophetic Revelation", a ministry ran by Brother Richard Gan, I received the message of Brother Branham (the Seventh Church Age Messenger). I went to a couple of different "Endtime Message" churches, only to find they were "Branhamites". I knew there was a problem and so did my family. First there was no OIL present (well, maybe a few drops in the congregation). I wanted to hear the "Divine Message", and not about the "Divine Messenger". (I already knew Brother Branham was human).
I then read and studied many of Bro. Branham's tapes and books and also many of Brother Gan's messages (that correspond to Brother Branham). I found they were in unison with one another and joinly fit together (with the exception of Bro. Gan's writing style). I have also studied Brother Gan's Apostolic messages and revelation that pertain to THE BRIDE for this hour after the SHOUT MESSAGE of Bro. Branham. They are all wonderful and will be of utmost interest to anyone seeking the REAL TRUTH through Revelation Knowledge and Understanding. At the writing of this letter I have only been in "The Message" for 2 months, and I truly feel like I have "Lost the whole world and Gained my soul". It's a wonderful freedom! I give all the Praise and Glory to Our Savior, Christ The Lord.
I know now that I'm not a member of a "denomination in God", I am a SON OF GOD! It's that simple — Love the Lord, Seek the Truth, Hear and Accept the Message, Love and Live for The Lord! I praise and thank ALMIGHTY GOD for this "Precious Pearl" I have found IN THE WORD via Brother Richard Gan's Ministry, "Prophetic Revelation". I know now with all my being that there is a True MESSAGE originally brought to this Church Age by God's Prophet-Messenger, William Branham, and it is administered and revealed TODAY by The Five-Fold Ministry (ANOINTED MEN OF GOD). I would urge any one searching for THE TRUTH to hear this Anointed Man of God, Brother Richard Gan, and then pray to the Lord to receive your own "PRICELESS PEARL".
May the Lord continue to bless your Ministry, Brother Gan.
Your Brother in Jesus Christ,
David Curtman,
Springfield, Missouri,
USA.
