The Humble Beginning and early days of Apostle Joshua Selman

[Music] Salman Joshu anemic always knew there was something unusual about him for one right from a tender age he knew God's hand was upon him there's this knowing you cannot explain but then every time I watched TV and I saw anything that had to do with ministry the grace of God there was this witness that I had within me someday I'll be the one doing this you know and so what most children his age were concerned with playing Salman was almost always alone in his room studying the Word of God and one day Salman raised his little hands in surrender to Jesus Christ during a sunday-school session but while in secondary school Salman began to experience the extraordinary in his life it started when a mentor began to teach Salman how to know God even better he taught us things like spiritual growth quiet time he formulated a quite an booklet for us that we had to follow through he taught us the ethics of good Christian character he helped me because I had a bit of a challenge growing up in terms of complex and trying to reconcile my dreams and the things that I see around me it opened me up to every motivation that I needed and I really loved God I began to pursue Shing seek you truly and sincerely for my heart and that was when Salman began to witness the supernatural we had a program where a man of God was invited and then he prayed for those who wanted they received a baptism of the Holy Spirit and that would be an experience of a lifetime I go through the Holy Ghost we did extraordinary things in the school I mean there were five of us we started walking in miracles I mean real miracles I was so super intelligent it was amazing I kind of seen things in the spirit didn't know what the I mean angels manifestations I would receive words about things and it would happen you know I would pray for students I remember praying for one of our students was this camera and we go she wasn't a big deal because we were just acting by field sadly we had a time when they preached against all of these things that we walked in and we really bugs me that we're not prayerful again we're not open to the things of the Spirit we literally shut the door of the Holy Spirit but all this changed with one encounter on the 2nd of December 2002 I'll never forget someone walked up to me in the night and talked to me I was little I mean literally touch me I wasn't dreaming and I woke up I didn't see anybody but I knew it was Jesus I cannot tell you how I knew I knew it was Jesus that would be nice best dramatic encounter with him I knew it was Jesus I began to cry I began to sob I got down on my knees I began to pray and I said Lord I rededicated myself for your use for your service by the time he got into the university Selma's hunger for God became unquenchable I used to spend time praying and just seeking God and sometimes I'll go to the dam and just pray and tell God Lord I know that my life is supposed to bring you glory but I'm tired of leaving it purposeless life and you know I remember praying and crying and I was play sometimes or morning tonight telling the Lord you must use me tell me let me know why I am here on earth one night I had a dramatic vision I was standing in front of the tower really one of the hotels in university campuses and suddenly I saw a crowd of people I couldn't see the end of the world is full of people and the people were crying they were sobbing and in that vision they were saying there was no food and no water I and I said really I mean I was I was I had compassion upon the people suddenly the vision it became like I had the key to the spa house of that entire generation and I asked the people I said is it my fault they said yes is your fault we're dying of thirst you know talking about the bread of the water of life and the bread of life and all of that and and I told them time I will be coming down right now to rescue you I got off of that vision I cried and it put a fire in my spirit I knew that God had called me to be a preacher to be a minister [Music] the most dramatic of all experiences was when I met Jesus himself and there he was standing before me the King of Kings himself I have seen him I know he's our life I cannot tell you what he looks like the beauty at the brilliance on his face the love the power the light I was flat on the floor like a dead man I understand what Isaiah said no he said you know the Lord High and lifted up and the Train of his robe I saw him in his glory Jesus I knew instantly that this was Jesus Christ he didn't tell me anything all he did was stretch his hands was me and it beam of light there is no human way that light would come upon me in the physical without destroying me I mean it would disintegrate me in seconds but that beam of light and remember the Bible says the entrance of the word giveth light and understanding that encounter brought a level of anointing into my life I had unusual insights into the Word of God I suddenly was opened fully into the realm of angels miracles visions insight faith faith the faith of the Son of God came upon me I mean I knew all things were possible all things the whole world needs to know Jesus Christ believe me he's not one leader of a religion he is Lord when you see him you will know the earth belongs to him you will know he is not contending for a position he is not scratching his head wondering what to do he's in control I love him today beyond ministry I have seen his glorious in His grace but I can't read I mean I cannot read any of these things for him that ministry go let the world go let money go let marriage go believe me believe me I mean this from the depth of my heart I will not trade the world which is [Music] you amazing is all I can see we take a break now but we'll be back shortly with the concluding part of this incredible story about Thurman's journey with God don't go anywhere [Music] dear Emily I dropped by again this morning to say hello I guess you were running late you ran right by me at the noon hour I thought we might have some kind to spend together but you were busy with your friends and though you didn't invite me over later that night I could truly sense your loneliness your fears and I want you to know that even though you had no time for me this morning or tonight when you wake up tomorrow I'll still be around hoping that today you'll take some time to spend with me love always Jesus you can search the entire universe but you'll never find anyone who knows you and loves you warn that Jesus Christ would you like to noon today call or write the 700 club welcome back Selma's story is one that challenges me and I hope you dig as I am to new height ended well let's get back and see I taught of holes it all began with a deep longing for God then gradually Salman Joshua nemac was opened into the realm of the supernatural what began to happen being even his mind how it goes to a place of solitude I just sit alone for hours hours digging on the scripture fishing out things right in all the visions and many times the glory of God would literally come and man told me I mean sometimes I would see a mist in Leitrim mist cloud sometimes in the shape of a man sometimes the angels of God would come to me visiting me bringing me words this real experiences when you in the realm of eternity time is not a factor again an assemble sought to know God better he began to see a ripple effect of the same hunger he had for God in the life of others people began to come around the presence of God is very attractive I would share some of the experience with them and sometimes the presence of God will come upon those who cry weep pray study every evening was it time we look forward to because after class after all of this I mean we didn't have time for any other thing no time for it was a sacrifice every thing the making of a champion at any level requires sacrifice you must forego something many times the presence of God would be so strong you have to take people I mean literally carry people back to their hotels was a dramatic experience and in a short while the campus would least prepared for what God began to do through sermons life people began to come for me to just talk with them to come sell them the sick started coming I started praying for them you know when one person got healed you go back and tell more people hate comments CDs and all of that but I point it because it became in nightly on organized meeting no OSHA's no nothing people would just come sit down share the word I couldn't explain it I wasn't bringing the people they couldn't stop coming they were coming every night they would cry the presence of God I would teach four hours from about 10:00 till about 3:00 sometimes to four o'clock and this was student you know and all of that hour those ways to the degree it was was it challenging a spear [Music] thanks for someone's unrelenting pursuit of God several thousands of people have come to know Jesus including drug addicts prostitutes called members and many more houses more have been delivered from addiction to sex masturbation pornography drinking smoking and several other vices common among young people never many changes in my life since I met sister Sarah I was a little bit violent but the ministry taught me humility it brought east into it we see the transformation in my spirit fellowship with God and every fifth market movie needed to be able to practice like heal the see judge my faith and believe that for a lot of things that screams because I can mention my finances I can mention my academics and my relationship with God most importantly it has taken a whole new level I look now with you like a friend God like you spend like I don't anything there's no barrier for me I now understand the new creation rice varieties very well telling this for natural also your life anything no what you want found the price of 12 of what you want them play the price on you Jessica you see [Music] I knew that God created me here for a purpose and my purpose is to do it because that was the prayer that Jesus Christ gave to his disciples and everyone has an assignment in every sector not just being in church or preaching but we could do this in our offices in our home in our tombs anywhere we are we can be a blessing to people and we can bring what killed that effect an event with thousands of thoughts young heart well thought and leaving the school with what deep understanding of their problems one can only imagine the great impact each of them will make in their society even after graduation God is raising people these are ordinary people we must quit the ministry mindset and we discipline Kingdom because the revival is coming upon us greater defense revival the Lord told me t greater than the Azusa Street revival our fathers of faith schambach Osborn Charles and Francis hanta Kathryn Kuhlman Smith Wigglesworth our fathers of faith they are now in the cloud of witnesses but they left it professing with our generation that a revival would come greater than the Azusa Street revival and we are preparing connecting something this country and the world is separated into three mission fields and training grounds just like the whole terrorist camp God is training his people we do not see them yet ordinary people in the marketplaces housewives students our universities are also schools of the Spirit there is a revival that the world is not ready for and it's not going to be the way the revivals in the 60s and the 70s because we're invading the mountains the media God is sending media apostles media general men and women who will give the politics government it's not just going to be the repeating again and this is why we must stay on course to get the pattern it is coming it draws closer every day I sense it every time this is why I have a sense of urgency to prepare goes a me and someone says that is one desire although he is graduated from the University he also says his assignment on that campus and beyond is not over yet and he intends to keep at it until God tells in his next assignment I love the Lord with all my heart I love him beyond ministry I love him beyond title I measure success according to how much of the plan and the prophecy of God on the earth is been achieved see that's that's what we call success so I want to see that the whole earth is filled the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as much as it will be wonderful to be remembered for pioneering different revivals being a general of faith and all of these things I think the greatest testimony I covet the testimony of Enoch the Bible says and Enoch walked with God is a different thing to walk for God I want to walk with God so closely that this path will not be worthy of holding me indeed and it will be a glorious exit and if it means me been called a failure from the earth perspective to walk with Him this is all I want I love him with all of my heart and my greatest testimony and what I want to be remembered for is that I'm Joshua Selma nimac walked with God and he was not mm you've seen and heard it on it's time to heed the call it's simple Jesus is coming back soon are you ready for his coming and while we are awaiting his coming we must remember that we are all here on assignment and our time is fast running out so we all God's people must rise up and stop wasting time stop being distracted by things that do matter in the long run the Bible encourages us to redeem the times because the days are evil you heard sermon it's not about how polished you are how educated you are God has well equipped each of us for the tasks that each have all we need to do is spend quality time with him get specific instructions and get to work and even if you feel that you haven't heard anything specific from God he has called us all to do the work of an evangelist love somebody and lead them to Christ so we get them saved from the destruction that is to come now for you listening to me and you know that God is calling you you may have been running from the call all the time it's time to stop running my dear friend and do the only thing that will give your life meaning or be God perhaps give a loud scene and past mistakes to come between you and Jesus then let's start by getting things right immediately or maybe you've even your little mention of the Lord and Savior it's not too late for that either as you've heard he's coming soon so let's prepare for him so why don't you pick this words after me and mean them say dear God I come to you because I'm a sinner I've sinned against you in the way I've used my life and I'm asking you to forgive me by the blood of Jesus the Christ your son who died come on leave in my heart Lord Jesus come on make my life in your own so that I will need for you in the name of Jesus now let's pray for the release of God's power over you to rise up and fulfill God's assignment for you here death let's pray
