By Mike Miesch
When Ann and I started dating, I told her I would not ask her to become a Catholic, but that I would like her to be familiar with the Catholic faith. I made arrangements for Ann to take instructions from my cousin, Father Francis Miesch while we were dating. Now, Ann’s parents were Pentecostal, but Ann had never accepted the Pentecostal faith. She was going to a Baptist Church at the time, and when we became engaged, Ann’s parents were very upset. Ann’s father said, "This is not a blessing. This is a funeral. You will die spiritually in the Catholic Church."
Ann’s parents had a friend that was deep in the Lord, and she sought the Lord with deep prayers and fasting. On the day of the wedding, this family friend received prophetic words from the Lord that I was a good man and that the Lord was in me. She also received that I would come around to their way of thinking and I'd have a faith that they'd never known before and be filled with the Spirit in a deeper way than they could imagine. This was 1963. Ann's mother came to the wedding and told Ann about the prophecy, but Ann never said anything to me about it. Ann's father didn't come to the wedding, but he later publicly apologized for being prejudiced against Catholics. I believe the prophetic message was given to Ann's mother and father so that they would have peace about my marriage to their daughter.
Ann and I married in St. Patrick's Cathedral in Fort Worth on February 14, 1963. The prophetic message in 1963 was four years before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Duquesne University.
Expect a miracle
After we had married, I started working for a company alongside a Pentecostal man who was very bold in witnessing to people. I told him that my in-laws were Pentecostal, but I did not dare tell him I was Catholic. The day he found out, I remember thinking, "Oh boy, he is going to work me over." He started quoting scripture to me about the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, and praying with faith. We ended up becoming good friends.
In February of 1970, my mother had been bedridden for three months with pneumonia. When I talked to her on Thursday night, she had almost no voice. That Friday I spoke to my co-worker and friend, Bill, and I said, "I would appreciate it if you would pray for my mother." He looked me in the eyes and said, "Expect a miracle." Then next day my mother was up and walking around.
In May of 1970, Bill came to me and said, "Mike, how would like to go to the hospital with me and pray for a little boy."
I said, "Bill, I'll go with you, but I don't know anything about praying for people."
He said, "Mike, we're just going to do what the scriptures tell us to do."
This little boy was five years old and had massive tumors behind both eyes. He had been in a coma for a week. The doctor said there is no hope. We walked into the hospital room, and the little boy's father said, "If this is the Lord's will, we will accept it."
But Bill said, "It's not the Lord's will that any should perish. It is his will that we prosper, be in health, even as your soul prospers." (See 3 John:1)
We joined hands and prayed for the little boy. The next day the little boy woke up and sat on the side of the bed, and by Saturday he was up and playing in the hospital room. The doctors scheduled a surgery to remove the tumors for that Monday morning, and Bill and I arrived at the hospital just as the doctors were coming out of surgery. They were in shock. The two tumors had completely disappeared, but they said the little boy would be blind because the optic nerve disappeared with the tumor. Well, that little boy had 20/20 vision and was completely healed of cancer. That made a tremendous impression on this Catholic boy.
An invitation to community
Father Miesch came to see us the end of May 1970, and I remember saying, "Father Miesch, the Lord sure is with the Pentecostal people."
"Yes, that's right,” he responded.
"Would it be wrong if I left the Catholic Church and joined the Pentecostal Church?"
Ann and Father Miesch almost fell off their barstools. Father explained that he had just gotten back from Ann Arbor, Michigan, the week before where he had attended a Catholic Pentecostal prayer meeting. He told me if I was interested in the Pentecostal faith, to get in touch with Bobbie Cavnar. Ann later told a girlfriend of hers, "If Mike gets involved with the Pentecostal faith then there is such a thing as the Holy Spirit."
I invited Ann to go to the prayer meeting at Bishop Lynch High School in March 1971 with me. Ann said she would think about it, but then her parents decided to come in from Florida just before the prayer meeting, and Ann said, "I'm not going."
I said, "Oh yes you are. Your parents will go with us."
Ann saw her dad lifting his hands praising God in a Catholic Pentecostal prayer meeting. She knew that couldn't happen except by the power of the living God.
Encountering a mighty wind
I sought the Holy Spirit for five months, and I truly encountered him in September of 1970. I felt electricity going through my body that just got stronger and stronger. I couldn't sleep that night, and I remember it was raining and pitch dark outside. At four o'clock in the morning, a mighty wind started whipping around my body at what felt like a thousand miles an hour and my lips were moving a hundred miles an hour.
Suddenly, I saw Jesus face-to-face. We were so close I could see the blood pumping in the vessels in the white of his eyes. I could see a yellow mucous on the white of his eyes. Jesus' eyes were light blue, and we just looked at each other for about a minute. Then the wind continued for another 30 seconds. That wind whipped so hard around me that my ears were sore for a week, and the electricity continued through my body for another week.
After that night, I started having dreams and visions. In 1973, I had a dream in the midnight hour of the Lord coming for his Bride, and the Lord put a strong desire in my heart to study Revelations and the End Time.
Mission to write
In 1978, the Lord started speaking to me, "Write what you have learned." After I had written about eight to ten pages, the Lord showed me a vision of what I had written and said this will not do. The Lord truly guided me in the writing of the two books, Lifting the Veil of Revelation and Seven Vital Truths for God's Children.
These two books are not Catholic doctrines or teaching. These are books of private revelations received in prayer. These books are the teaching of the Scripture and the early Apostolic Fathers of the Church.
In 1982, the Lord said, "Give the first part of the morning to me. Give the other part of the time to your family. Rest in me; I have much to teach you. I want you to enjoy the fruit of your labor as you bring the knowledge of My Glory to the people of this planet. I have already begun to put into motion the people who will publish and distribute your book to all the people of this planet so that they may know My Glory."
The Lord said, "Mike, walk a straight line. The Holy Spirit is who wrote your books. Do not yield to any spirit other than mine. Your books shall be carried to all nations, not only this generation, but in generations to come." The Lord said to give these books to him; to turn loose of these books and give them to him. The books have published and I have turned loose of them. I am not selling the books. I am not making any money on the books. I gave them to the Lord so he can do what he wants to do with these books. These books are available at Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.
As I mentioned, I attended my first Prayer Meeting in 1970 and there were about 10 or 12 other people there. Ann and I did not make the covenant in 1973 because we were in Israel in the Holy Land, but we have been coming to this Prayer Meeting for 47 years. This Community has been such a blessing to us. I could not have written these books without the visions, messages and guidance that my prayer partners and I received from the Lord. I am thankful for the Community of God's Delight and for the fellowship we have here. The Lord wants a deep and personal relationship with each and every one of us. These two books will help you have a deep relationship with the Lord.
Thank you, and God bless you.
