Here are some testimonies of what God has been doing through Acts 1v8 Ministries.

Working with Graham Jones

I have known Graham for many years and in my experience of working with him in planting and growing a church in my area I can say that God blessed his ministry and those around him.

The church moved in the power and knowledge of God to bring people to Christ, release those bound up in many things and we saw Gods’ healing power in lives.

Grahams’ walk with God meant he was able to impart to others and help grow them spiritually, he understands that the Holy Spirit wants to move, is sensitive to Him and shares into the body what God is doing.

Gods Church is moving and God wants to do something radical to take the church on from where it is at present and people such as Graham are ready to hear Gods voice and step out in the challenge. God is looking for a people that will step out for Him, will partner with Him.

Ezekiel 37 ~ God asks Ezekiel if he believes that God can make these bones come to life and he answers then God says YOU prophesy to the bones, God needs His people to believe in Gods Almighty power and then to move in it no matter how impossible it may seem Graham has that belief and it is needed in our churches today if we are to see people come to Jesus in these times.

Graham Jones visit to Glengormley

Graham came over from Bradford to spend a weekend with our young people. He taught straight out of the book of Acts on the need of the Holy Spirit’s power in our lives. We were blessed as he shared his powerful testimony with us.

Many of the young people received the fullness of the Spirit for the first time. One man was saved during the worship time on the Saturday evening. We learned to minister to one another – waiting on the Holy Spirit’s guidance – there were visions/pictures given by God also prophesy, which encouraged the body of Christ and brought great unity of purpose to each one.

He spoke with the junior youth at their meeting, once again sharing his testimony with them. God poured out His Spirit in that meeting and 16 young people, some only just in their teens gave their lives to The Lord!!

It was truly an awesome – unforgettable time.

God is Good

Hi, my name is Michelle from Glengormley - this is a brief testimony to tell you about the teaching week we had last year. Last summer our choir went on a mission trip to Bradford. While there, we were privileged to meet with Graham Jones, who was able to do a teaching session with us, while we were visiting his church. After we came home we invited Graham here to do a whole week of teaching sessions on the Holy Spirit. I don't have the space to tell you about every night, but I will tell you about some of my own personal experiences while Graham was teaching. At the start the teaching was very practical, Graham went over the scriptures about the Holy Spirit, reminding us who the Holy Spirit is, why God sent the Holy spirit and how people in the Bible used the Holy spirit in their Christian lives. After this, we then did practical exercises, simply inviting the Holy Spirit to come and fill us and reveal our gifts to us. It was amazing how just doing this simple exercise really worked! I think a lot of us had forgotten how important it was just to be still and take time to invite the Holy Spirit to work in our lives.

As the nights went on, we saw God work in people in many different ways…People were dealing with issues, prophesying, speaking in tongues, finding out their gifts and much more. It was pretty awesome watching Gods Spirit work and just sitting in a room and feeling Gods Spirit so close.

On one of the last nights while ministry was taking place, I had a strange experience. As I was experiencing Gods Spirit and inviting it to fill me more, I felt my hands begin to grip something (This is very hard to explain but bear with me), I was looking at my hands and they were grasping something that I could not see and yet I could not get them to un-grasp! I walked to the front and told Graham that there was something in my hands but I did not know what. Rather than laughing and calling me crazy - Graham asked me to close my eyes and ask God what it was. I did this and I saw a cross. As I saw this cross an overwhelming sadness and pain began to wash over and I could hear a voice saying 'Just a little, this is just a little' and I knew that I was experiencing just a little bit of what Jesus felt on the cross. I began to weep uncontrollably. Now, you may be saying to yourself, why would God want anyone to experience that? The answer lies in my prayer book, I had been asking God to show me that the cross was real (You really shouldn’t pray things like that lightly!) and that is exactly what He did - I have no doubt that the cross is real - I experienced I little of it and I understand more fully now the sacrifice that Jesus went through for us that day.

I know that the Holy Spirit is more than just an experience like the one I just described, and it is vital, as Graham taught is over that week, to be continually asking God to fill you with His Spirit. You wouldn’t drive your car on empty - it would break down, and we are the same, we need Gods Spirit to keep us running every day and to live the way God wants us to live - running on a full tank doing His work!
