Sid: Now my guests in the studio they’re the same way I am because Bridgette Wilson works for the Messianic Vision, and Donald hangs around here enough for it to rub off on him. But let me tell you something the anointing on him it rubs off on us. This man is on fire; you wouldn’t believe it on listening on yesterday’s broadcast he was headed nowhere as quickly as he could. He was married, he had a couple of children, he was doing drugs, he’s drinking, he’s cheating, he thinks that’s normal. Bridgette gets saved and she said “Enough is enough.” She divorces him, she moves to Georgia with her children to get started over again. And Bridgette did you totally give up on the marriage when you moved to Georgia or were you still praying? What were you praying for at that point?
Bridgette: Well Sid the move was devastation enough meaning that I moved several miles away from everything that I know and I kind of felt like Abraham where God said to get up and move to a place, a different place. And that’s exactly what I did, this is a place where I knew absolutely no one other than the people that I was going to be working with and with my children. Did I have this man on my mind to remarry? No, this is out of the question.
Sid: Okay, so Donald then what’s going on with you after your wife and children leave?
Donald: Well I wasn’t looking forward to ever re-patching our to restore and restoration or restoration or whatever you may put it. I felt as though I was a good man and I could find another family. And so as she left I felt that desire to have another family and it just didn’t work out, it just didn’t work out for me. In 1999 not long after I had gotten the divorce papers I had an accident, I got a DUI and I had an accident at the same time. During that time I was already beginning to seek God. So when that accident, I told God that night that I wasn’t going to drink anymore that that was my last time but he made a change in my heart. He put it He made it a fact that that was my last time. And He took away the liquor from me during that six month period where I didn’t have any Driver’s License I began to learn to change my life style. He took away cigarettes, the smoking, I had no desire for neither one. After this had happened after I went through the classes and I got my license back and I got saved, I was saved in a small church in the country near where I lived at. And the Pastor’s name was Terry. She took me and took me through the sinners prayer and told me that my life would never be the same again that I was saved now. That is something that I had seeked before and had been other churches that I had been in and it had never happened to me, but she took me through the prayer. And she took me through the prayer and it was awesome for me. The whole church came through and hugged me and I just felt like there was so much love and it was just an awesome time. And then shortly after that I was looking for churches, now she’s a good teacher, but I was led to go other places and I went to a larger church where my sister attended. There I started learning more about the word and I was in choirs, several choirs very strong ministry. And I begin to grow in the word. Now during this time I had people come to me and tell me that I had a calling on my life that I was going to be a minister and I couldn’t understand that.
Sid: Why?
Donald: Because that was the last thing that I expected myself to be.
Sid: I’m sure.
Donald: Not long after that I had a dream and that dream shook me up. It was a dark night in this dream and I saw rocks and sand and a lake and it was moonlit, and that was all I saw was the moon. It might have been something else there for light. But out of the water I saw a skull coming out of the water that was on fire.
Sid: Just like a skull and cross bones; a skull that was on fire?
Donald: Correct just a skull. As that skull walked, as it moved I could hear a thump and I heard a shaking like a cymbal or a tambourine afterward. And I heard this and just the thumping and it came and it got louder and louder and the skull came out of the water and it was on fire and it burned. As it came out of the water it broke into many many smaller skulls burning. And as it forming it formed the devil walking. And…
Sid: So in other words, all these skulls actually took on the form of the devil and he was walking.
Donald: And then all of a sudden he couldn’t walk and he had a kink in his step and he said “I have no more need for this DNA” and he cast it and I saw it hollering as it went out and it went out into the lake but it went past the lake and it kept going. And the next thing I know I was in a hospital and I was working there. And I worked in a hospital before and I walked around I could see these patients that was getting ready to receive their medications. And it was this rich pale man there and he was waiting to receive his medication he was really afraid because he didn’t know what he was going to get. So when it came for him to get his medication, he got all the best foods he ever wanted. He loved Italian foods and he got it, he got everything. So during this time I walked around and see other people and I come back and see him and he was steadily getting happier and fatter off of this good food because he’s getting his medication was his favorite food. And so I went back one time and he offered it to me, and he offered me some of this food. You know the whole time this is going on the devil is fattening him up to devour him. So he gets this food and he offers it to me and I said “No, I don’t want any I don’t have to worry about where you’re going at.” You see because I realized that the devil had fattened him up for him and I didn’t have to worry because the devil had cast me out from him because I was a kink in his walk. I thank God for that day. It really shook me up, I went to my pastor now I had another lady came to me and with the same thing, same thing a story telling me that there was a calling on my life.
Sid: A prophecy not a story. (Laughing)
Donald: Prophecy, prophecy yes, so I went at that time that’s the way I thought and I came to my pastor and I never told my pastor to this day about this dream but he told me about a dream he had where he had the book open where he said “No not yet, I got to save more souls, more souls need to be saved.” And to me I realized that that was a dream from God that he had told me that I didn’t have to worry anymore. And I believe that there are many out there who don’t have to worry, all they have to do is put their faith and trust in God. And I think that this is what the dream was telling me.
Sid: Well, okay now your sold out to the Lord but the marriage deal is dead especially when you find out that Bridgette is dating someone else. Your daughter was starting Bible school and the two of you drove out together, tell me about that.
Donald: I had made some plans but God didn’t see those plans that I had okay so I was going out there I drove out there on faith. You know time and everything was a little different but I went out there I drove down here first on faith and then we drove our daughter to Teen Mania. And really when we got there I didn’t have all the financial ends that I was supposed to have, but I did have but I did have something with me you understand. But I wasn’t really sure about Teen Mania I didn’t know exactly what it was and I’m saying oh we’re going to go. We get there and then I see, but during the whole time I’m fasting and praying.
Sid: But not to restore your marriage.
Donald: Not to restore my marriage but for me to be in line with God because I wanted to be in line with God. And during that time a time of separated from them and I wanted away and I went away and I fasted and prayer He gave me the revelation that he had already gave me all the help that I need, he gave me a helpmeet. And I said, “My helpmeet was with me right then.” And I went back and we took care of the business and our daughter, she started, we left our daughter in Texas where she was going to school at Teen Mania. From then on when we left we had a battle because again I didn’t come through with the things that I said I would do. But this time I felt time I felt better because I knew that I was in God’s will, I believed that in my heart. And He had told me that this was going to be my wife and I just still. That was going to be the last…
Sid: Did you tell her?
Donald: Yes I did.
Sid: Bridgette what did you think when you said he wanted to marry you again.
Bridgette: I thought he was absolutely crazy.
Sid: Wait a second you believe in Jesus he wants to marry you again, why wouldn’t you…I guess you went through a lot of hurt, a lot of years of hurt?
Bridgette: Oh yes it was a trust I mean totally a trust issue that was violated. This was once again another circumstance that stamped that seal that he can’t be trusted. So no, this was not somebody that I wanted to be married to again so I didn’t think he heard from the Lord.
Sid: So what changed your mind?
Bridgette: God and that was over several months later, several months. God started to deal with my heart but not because I was praying about him and I but because I was praying to seek the Lord and be closer to the Lord. And I wanted to do His will, because I knew if I was to get married again Sid, that I knew that I did not want to go through the hurt and pain I did the first go around and I didn’t want to be in a relationship with someone that didn’t understand Godly principles.
Sid: Hold that thought, will pick up right here on tomorrow’s broadcast. Mishpochah wait until you hear what their daughter says about what happened.
