A Testimony of God's Calling
Prophet & Founder, HSA Holy Fellowship
On April 14, 2021, a Sunday school friend invited Joshua to his house for a feast. Though it was against his usual nature to visit others' homes, his friend's persistent urging convinced him to come in the afternoon. What began as a simple gathering turned into a moment that would forever change his life.
After eating, as Joshua Wilson prepared to leave, one of the men present suddenly placed a knife to his neck. In an instant, his mind went blank — filled with paralyzing fear. He desperately tried to stop the hand wielding the blade with his own. Another man struck his face and he fell back into a chair. Three others seized his legs and arms. One threatened him with vile words while another covered his mouth to silence his cries.
They bound his legs and hands with rope, sealed his eyes and mouth with teflon tape, and dragged him into a bedroom which had a bathroom — locking the bedroom door behind them. He could barely breathe. He could not understand why this was happening to him.
"Lord, if You let me live, I will live for You. If I die, remember me in Heaven. I grew up fatherless in my childhood — remember my son, that he will not also live his childhood in a fatherless condition."
Then something extraordinary happened. Though his hands had been bound tightly with wires, teflon, and thick rope — they came undone (by a force). With his freed hands he removed the tape from his eyes. And in that moment, for the first time in his life, he saw a heavenly angel standing before him. He could not look away.
The ropes on his legs also fell away. The angel remained present with him. Joshua Wilson began shouting from the window — "Help me!" — and thirty to forty people nearby rushed to his aid. His attackers fled in his car. The people brought him outside, called the police, and took him to the station.
At the police station, he saw the same angel sitting beside him. The angel touched him — and without understanding what was happening, Joshua Wilson felt something enter him. His wife was called, and he was sent home.
Nine days later, he moved from his town to Hyderabad. In a new rented house, he knelt before God and prayed: "Lord, if You wish me to serve You, I will serve. But if not, I will do business my whole life and use what I earn to build Your kingdom."
While reading his daily portion — 1 Kings 19:19 — the Lord showed him a vision: Elijah came and cast his mantle upon Elisha. Then a second vision: the Lord Jesus Christ Himself cast His mantle upon Joshua Wilson. Just as Elijah's anointing passed to Elisha, God's anointing came upon him. His eyes filled with tears without his knowing why.
God's heavenly presence came and visited him. He spoke to Joshua Wilson to do his ministry which was left over by the Lord, saying: "I will pour out my anointing." From that day forward, Joshua Wilson began to serve — and has never looked back.
The same God who met Joshua in his darkest hour is still calling, healing, and pouring out His anointing today. If this testimony stirred something in your heart, we'd love to pray with you.
