>> Hello, my name is John Veal.
I'm the author of Supernaturally Prophetic
and Supernaturally Delivered.
>> I've just come to share some stories,
supernatural stories of things that have occurred in my life
that were very, very life changing.
The first one I like to talk about
is my experience with a Ouija board.
>> Now, for those that don't know what the Ouija board
is it's a seemingly harmless game, which is not harmless,
that where you contact dearly departed loved ones
or just dead people.
So my I was living with my grandmother
at the time and my mom,
Beverly and my Aunt Helen were also living there as well.
So what happened was they purchased a Ouija board
and they started to play this Ouija board.
>> So the night that they were playing, I was there.
In fact, the planchette,
the triangular shaped object that's used on a Ouija board,
which let me describe a Ouija board for you.
It's got letters on it. Symbols. You have
yes, you have no. So what happens is that
when people participate in this thing,
they they basically are asking the spirit to speak to them.
And what they do, they place their hands on the planchette.
And this spirit moves it to different letters
like you may ask it, how long will I live?
And it will move to certain numbers
or it just say yes or no to yes or no questions,
almost like a magic eight ball.
So what happens is that they were doing
it this particular night
and my mom seemed to receive the most attention.
So what happened was my mom was asking it questions and in fact,
even before she really knew the true motives
of what was behind the board,
it was very benign, very, very innocuous.
I mean, just very, very nice, very friendly.
But then it started to devolve where it started to curse
through the board and say all these vulgar things,
which I can't repeat. But my mom asked it.
She said, how long will I live? And the answer came to her.
And it was something that that terrified her,
caused her dread for years.
>> The board, the thing through the board,
basically told her that she would be dead in ten years.
Now, at the time, my mom was twenty six years old,
so she was very concerned over that.
If we jump to the next ten years,
she throughout those years,
as it got closer to her thirty sixth birthday,
she would talk about death like no other, she would just say,
well when I'm gone, just take care of your brother.
When, when this happens, you know,
you know the brevity of life. Life is so short.
And as she's saying this, as we come closer to that birthday,
I'm praying to God.
I said, Lord, please don't let my mom die.
Please don't don't let her die. And thankfully, she did not die.
She lived another twenty seven years
and which I'm so thankful for.
And when she did unfortunately pass away,
she passed away not at her thirty sixth birthday,
but had her sixty third birthday.
And that was pretty weird to me. It still kind of bothers me.
Now I know that my mother was saved.
>> I was there when she passed away.
I spoke to God about it and God gave me confirmation
that she's with him. So I'm thankful for that.
But it just shows the dangers of utilizing this board.
This witchboard, as you may say, you don't want to mess with it.
The last story I want to talk to you about
is probably one of the most supernatural things
that's ever happened to me personally.
I was 19 years old. I'd made the decision to get saved.
I was going to North Carolina Central in Durham,
North Carolina.
And I was I was just in that that place of being young,
wanting to do my own thing, wanting to have fun.
But I had this call upon my life.
I knew God was wooing me.
God was drawing me. And so I was very confused.
It was a very confused time.
And so I had done some things to the point where I backslid.
So I come home for college on break.
I had on shorts, gym shoes and a t shirt.
And I'm telling you this for a reason.
I was with a friend of mine and he had a BB gun
and the BB gun was very heavy, it was a hard black metal.
>> And he said on several occasions
he had been picked up by the police
because they thought it was a real gun.
And so as we were walking on this warm, warm summer night,
we found ourselves in an alley and we were talking about it.
And somehow I got the gun in my hands.
I don't know if he just said, here you go,
or if I asked him for the gun, but somehow I had it.
So we saw this dog at the end of the alley
and being young and kind of dumb,
you know, we decide we're going to shoot at this dog.
I know that's wrong. I would never do anything like that now.
But we that's what we decided to do.
The the dog just instinctively just took off
across a busy street and ran into another alley.
So we began to chase him.
>> I think I'm slightly behind my friend and I'm running
and I have the gun in my hands.
So I'm running with this gun just like this,
just running with the gun in my hand.
All of a sudden I hear a voice.
Now, this is not like like a voice
like the Holy Spirit, speaking your spirit,
and your spirit translates. This is like an actual voice.
that you hear someone talking to you just just in person.
So this voice seemed to be like right at my ear.
And it said, take the gun
put it in your shorts and put your shirt over it.
And I believe I said what? I was like what? You know,
because I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
>> And then I heard the voice again.
It said, take the gun, put in your shorts
and put your shirt over it.
>> And it had more urgency, like like I needed to do this.
And as I was running, I mean,
as long as it took me to tell you,
that was not how long it took for it to be said,
it was like a split second.
This is all while I'm running across a busy street.
And so I take the gun, put in my shorts
and put my shirt over it, not knowing why I'm doing this.
The dog runs into another alley.
I'm on one side, my buddy's on the other side.
And and we're looking trying to see where this dog is
so we can shoot at it, right? So wrong.
But but the thing about it is that what happens next
is that two motorcycles pull up behind us.
And I think they either said freeze or turn around.
>> And once they said that, I turned around
and as soon as we both turned around,
as soon as we turned around,
the the the people on the motorcycle,
they pulled their guns out.
They drew their guns and had them pointed right at us.
As soon as I saw the guns drawn, I put my hands up.
My friend did, too. And I said, you know, what's going on?
What's going on?
They identified themselves as undercover detectives
and they saw us running across this busy street.
They had gotten a report of a robbery in the area.
And when they saw us running,
they thought we had committed the robbery.
So I said, no, I'm just home, you know,
home on break from school. I'm in college.
You know, we just we saw a dog,
we're just trying to chase the dog
and just having some fun.
He says one of them says, well be more careful next time.
And they pull off into the night. As we're walking away,
I don't even think I told my friend that I heard a voice
because I didn't want him to think I was crazy.
And so we just walked on. And then later on,
it didn't dawn on me at that time
because really I didn't know who was talking to me.
I didn't know it was God.
I didn't know who it was that I was talking to.
>> But all I know, it saved my life.
And so later on, I was reading in the Bible,
it talked about angels being ministers to them
that shall become the heirs of salvation.
And so God knew that I would preach his word.
God knew that I would write books.
God knew that I would do a work for him.
And he preserved my life. And I'm so thankful.
Now, what was so amazing about it
is God or the Angel of the Lord
didn't come to me saying, I'm Gabriel.
This is what you need.
You know, he didn't come with a lot of formality.
He just told me what I needed to hear to save my life.
And if I hadn't listened, if he hadn't repeated it,
I would not be here today.
That's what helped me to realize that God had to call on my life.
>> And it could be the same for you.
God will cause you
you may not have just heard God's voice audibly,
but God has probably saved your life many times
and you didn't even know about it.
But I was just so amazed at how much God cared about me,
even in my backslidden state.
God knew my future. He knew my purpose.
And he knows your purpose and your future.
And that's why it's so important to listen to the voice of God,
listen to what he says, listen to when he warns you,
because there's some places before I go,
the Lord will speak to my spirit.
My spirit will speak to me and tell me not to go.
No, don't go here, because there were times that I didn't listen.
I was very hard headed.
I went and did something God didn't tell me to do
and I wound up in trouble. That's why I'm learning
as I get older to really listen to the voice of God,
really listen to what he says and what what he's telling me.
In order to know God's voice, you've got to listen
to it consistently, because if you have a friend
and you talk to the friend all the time,
like you've been friends for years, when they call you,
you don't have to say, who is this?
You know who's calling?
You know who's calling because you're accustomed to their voice
It's the same with God.
As long as you get accustomed to his voice,
you start to know and and hear his voice
and know it's him talking to you
and he can keep you out of a lot of trouble.
But I've experienced so many supernatural things in my life.
>> What is your gifting?
What did God call you to do?
Once you find out your purpose, you start to start
to walk in it and operate in it.
At that time, I didn't know what my purpose was.
I didn't want to be a prophet. I didn't want to be a pastor.
I had no inclination to do any of those things.
But I had a strong calling of God on my life.
And a lot of times you'll go through supernatural experiences
throughout your life
because God has his hand upon your life.
So if you're going through a supernatural experience,
even if some of y'all can relate to what I've gone through
to what has happened to me.
>> You want to consider the call of God upon your life.
You want to really consider that that God is calling you
and it is your season,
it is your time to answer the call of God upon your life
because he wants to use you in a miraculous way.
So I encourage you today.
I encourage you, I pray for you. I decree over your life
that you will find your purpose if you haven't found it already,
you will start to walk in Godly authority,
walk in Godly purpose. And I just speak and
declare that he will speak to you on a higher level.
And if you're ever in situations where you're going through that
God will speak to you directly and just tell you
and warn you to keep you from any adversity
in terms of tragedy or accidents.
I just speak that in the matchless
and mighty name of Jesus,
I really pray that my testimonies have blessed you,
that you've gotten something out of it.
Thank you for this time to share.
God bless you and hope to see you later.
