Let our brother George Athanasiadis come forth.

[Applause]

Emmanuel! (God is with us - Matthew 1:23)

My name is George Athanasiadis and by our fruit...

[Applause]

By our fruit you shall know us.

I want to thank God Almighty for this day.

For His grace and mercy located me

and did not leave me roaming the world out there like millions of people do.

I thank our Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in the name of the Jesus Christ.

[Applause]

I would also like to thank man of God Harry,

the prophet of this generation, the commander and general of God Almighty.

[Applause]

The prophet of the Sovereign Lord,

the Lord of all lords.

I thank you, man of God, because I am what I am because of you.

I am what I am because of you.

Thank you for your forbearance.

For taking me (under your protection) in weakness, in sin.

For accepting me close to you, in discipleship.

For correcting me, admonishing me with God's wisdom.

For helping me evolve spiritually.

For cleansing me, helping me fight my weaknesses.

For advising me, when I needed your advice.

With the great patience of Job, you raised me.

I thank you man of God Harry!

God bless you!

[Applause]

The joy of the Holy Spirit is extremely huge inside me right now.

I want to say a few words about my life so far today.

About my upbringing.

As I was thinking, about my life to this point,

I realised that God has saved my life many times over,

from things I hadn't even realised.

When I was very little, a few months or even days old, I suffered from acute bronchitis.

Which is very serious for a baby.

It usually leaves residual effects, such as chronic asthma or respiratory issues.

But the Lord Jesus Christ, by His grace, He healed me, and I had no such after effects.

Later on, as I was growing, I had spasms thrice, as a child of only a few years old.

Which is very difficult for the parents to experience.

They took me to the hospital and the thing about spasms is that it usually leads to a diagnosis of epilepsy.

But again, by His grace and mercy, I did not have epilepsy.

The Lord kept me and healed me.

Until I became about 17 years old,

I was experiencing acute pain in my eyes very frequently.

Because of that, I had to turn all the blinders in the room off, so no source of light is visible and lie down under the blanket.

My eyes were hurting me so much, that I was trying to sleep the pain off.

After some time, I was diagnosed with intracranial sinusitis.

The doctor prescribed medication and told us that if it is not effective, we will see what to do next.

We asked him what that meant and the doctor was evidently anxious and did not want to say more.

By God's grace, we had some morning water that T. B. Joshua had anointed and sent to us.

I sprayed the morning water over me and that very night my nose finally cleared

and when I woke up I saw on my bed, next to my pillow, a pool of blood.

The Lord...

[Applause]

The Lord had healed me and I had no pain in the eyes ever since.

So, I was thinking about all that and realised the sheer magnitude of God's grace over my life.

Which kept me alive till today and I thank Him.

For His divine mercy and grace.

As for the things of God and my part in them, I thank God for using my parents.

For being devout Christians and helping them transmit whatever they could to me from the Word of God.

To actively take steps towards God.

In fact, they were actively seeking God's real power, going beyond what they already knew.

To experience God working, as He did in the apostolic era of the church.

As He used His son, Jesus Christ, to heal, to deliver, to prophesy (to the people).

And with a marvellous way, God sent for a sister from Athens to speak to my parents.

Giving them these videotapes that we once had.

Showing Prophet T. B. Joshua praying, healing, delivering by the Holy Spirit's power.

My parents then became ecstatic.

They fell in love with this ministry because, as you know, the Holy Spirit is the one who puts it in us and leads us.

Giving us this desire.

So He gave my parents this desire, who became fused with this ministry.

Later on, they started watching Emmanuel TV.

Emmanuel TV was the satellite channel of Prophet T. B. Joshua.

Us kids, also started watching.

Every Sunday, people were gathering in our house and other houses of our brethren, watching Emmanuel TV.

Watching God's power at work through Prophet T. B. Joshua.

At some point, we realised that some man, a Greek man, named Charalambos Tsakonidis

had become a disciple of the Prophet T. B. Joshua.

[Applause]

Not long after that, brother Charalambos Tsakonidis became a father, a mentor, an anointed servant of the Lord.

Prophet and general of the Sovereign Lord!

[Applause]

So he came forth at Emmanuel TV, man of God Harry, and said that he was Charalambos Tsakonidis and that he was coming to Greece

with the Holy Spirit's fire to start a ministry and minister God's Spirit in Greece!

Amen!

[Applause]

So, God's blessed time came, where man of God Harry came to our country.

With great resilience, he built his ministry from scratch.

He took with him all those who love God and wanted to participate and started the ministry.

And ever since, it started growing exponentially by God's grace.

At some point, the discipleship program started by man of God,

because, as our Lord and Saviour commanded to go to the nations and make disciples

to teach them to do what the Lord Jesus also did.

So the discipleship program started and very soon, by God's grace, I was accepted.

By his side, I was taught many spiritual experiences, I learned the sound doctrine.

I saw God working in front of my very eyes, as Jesus Christ did in those days.

[Applause]

With him, I travelled all over the world for revivals of our grandfather, Prophet T. B. Joshua.

Just because I happened to be at the right place, at the right time, beside the feet of my mentor to be taught by him.

I learned so much from him!

To make a long story short, in these 9 years, the Lord equipped me with His knowledge, with His wisdom.

I thank God for deeming me suitable today to anoint and to use me to help His people.

To deliver and set free His people.

Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ!

[Applause]

Three basic things we need.

First of all, you need the mystery of God's Grace.

What is this?

The mystery of God's grace is that it takes unusual people and puts them in His Kingdom for all eternity.

When I say "unusual", I do not mean talented, smart or wise, but those who people view as unsuitable.

Those who are not fast, wise nor talented. He takes them, the foolish of this world.

And puts them in His Kingdom for all eternity, so that no one can boast.

[Applause]

Secondly, you need to find a mentor who is wiser, smarter and stronger in the Lord to guide you in the Lord's way.

And I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for my mentor, man of God Harry.

[Applause]

Thirdly, you need to make the decision of putting your vision in the forefront of your mind.

How do you know you did that?

You will know it, because when you do it, suddenly nothing can make you complain, because you know that when you complain you take steps back.

You will know that you cannot complain, because every situation prepares you for your vision.

I thank the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit for His Grace locating me, the unusual, the unsuitable and for making me suitable for His glory.

I thank man of God Harry once more and I salute him in the name of Jesus Christ!
