Hi, my name is Denver May and this is my testimony. I grew up in church, but never personally made a commitment to follow Christ. When Christ found me, I was in the South African Air Force maintaining a career as an aircraft mechanic. I was a mess physically, emotionally and obviously spiritually. I was overweight because of my drinking habits, angry, frustrated and oblivious of spiritual realities around me. I somehow knew that I had to do something because it was not just about me but about my family. My son was growing up into a fine young lad and my wife as loving and compassionate as she is could not perceive the utter barrenness of my soul. I remember sitting in my garden nursing a whiskey and a cigarette and wondering to myself if this was all there is to life. “This” being the acquiring of more material possessions. There were people from different churches who came to visit my home, but they did not speak about Jesus only about their church. I already knew religion and could not understand how another church was going to help me. At this time I was tending towards more of an atheistic mindset because it allowed me to do what I want and when I want it. As with most people though, there is always the sense that there is something more than what we can see with our physical eyes. A lady from the neighbourhood that I knew only by sight came to my door and prayed for me. She prophesied to me that I will be a great warrior for God. I did not understand this because I was already a soldier, but my spiritual journey with Jesus has brought greater understanding. This was my first encounter with the power of God and the demonic. God opened my eyes and I could discern the spiritual war that was raging all around us at any given time. From fear and anxiety to insomnia and nightmares, the battle raged until I could not ignore it anymore. I submitted to Christ in my backyard and started to take my family to church. The first Sunday we attended my pastor preached on the supernatural and I confirmed my salvation by putting up my hand. I attended an orientation course and six months later I started serving in Church. About one year after I got saved, I was on my way to the sickbay, on the Airforce base, and the Holy Spirit fell on me so powerfully that I started skipping and jumping with joy unspeakable. I believe at that time God was delivering me from depression. God had been speaking to me about quitting the airforce, but I had not yet responded. That day I knew beyond all doubt that it was my time to leave and it was confirmed to me in a Christian book I was reading. I did not know where I was going, but I knew I had to go. Having a family of my own was a dream that I had from my younger years and I was obviously worried about how I was going to provide for them. Every time I would seek God about this He would speak Matthew 6:33 to me, which has become one of my life verses. I did not know what to tell people about what I was going to do, so I came up with the idea of a business. This “business” and the freedom I now had distracted me for about a year until I realised that I was not called to business as much as I wanted to be. I sought God, prayed and fasted and was also helped by one of the best books I have read by James Goll: Lifestyle of a prophet.” During this wilderness” season I faced tremendous warfare and was truly starting to live up to the “warrior” call on my life. Financial pressure forced me to work as a workshop assistant and for a while also in construction. Just as I started getting comfortable in these jobs, they seemed to dry up unexpectedly. In October 2019 I was seeking God and started speaking to me about the differences between His kingdom and the way we live our lives. During this period I was mostly occupied with prayer, bible study, volunteering in church and playing the part of a stay at home dad. It was the same year that God spoke Isaiah 52:7 to me: ‘How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion “Your God reigns.”’ God started speaking to me about the nations and travel as per Isaiah 54 and many things that I do not yet understand. After years of seeking God and studying his word, I can now with full confidence say that God has called me to preach the gospel of the Kingdom and to teach about His presence, revival and reformation. One of my secondary callings is also to write and publish therefore I have started a blog and a Facebook page. I hope and pray that my ministry can be a blessing to you. Greetings in Jesus’ name “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33) ESV
