>> Hello. My name is Dale Mast.
>> And I'm glad to share part of my life story with you
to help you through your life story.
I've been a pastor for
>> 39 years.
>> But I want to go back to about 14, 15 years ago.
>> My wife, my first
>> wife passed away
>> of cancer.
>> And it's a story that had
>> many different supernatural encounters.
But the first one was
actually two years before she died.
We found out that she had a cancerous growth
that was in her body.
The doctor told her she needed to go
immediately and have it removed.
>> Now, the part that kept her
from doing it was there was a woman in our church
who was in her thirties who had had a cancer operation
that was 98%
>> Successful and actually died literally a year
before my wife had this diagnosis.
And I told her, I said, honey, let's go to the doctor.
Let's take care of this.
>> Because cancer had been in her family.
And she said, No, it's my life.
I don't want to do it. I'm going to go through
a sort of a homeopathic
journey and we're going to believe God. As a prophet,
in my spirit, I knew if she did not go to the doctor,
she, I felt the Lord was showing me she was going to die.
And actually, I cannot express the amount of inner pain
of knowing something
at this level prophetically.
But sometimes you
have to walk through places that
you don't understand. And some of you right now,
maybe you're in a place you don't understand,
but God, he has things
>> Prepared for you you don't know.
So as we went through the process,
there was a fear level that was in her life.
You understand that, a fear of going to a doctor.
So faith in God was a little bit
hindered by the fear of that report that happened
to that younger girl.
So finally, she
was willing to go to the doctor
when it became the size of about a football.
But at that point the ovarian cancer
had gone through
part of her body
and it turned into breast cancer.
But when they took it out
they said she was 100%
healed, but just a little bit
went through and breast cancer and a year
later, our church
went from rejoicing to mourning her
death.
The amount of grief that I went through
at 55
years old, I never planned. Some of you out there,
you're facing
grief. You've been through a divorce.
>> You've been through,
maybe you've never been married
and you want to be married.
And here I was 55 years old,
I knew about
120 pastors. I traveled out of my church and ministered.
And when I was in Japan,
actually, somebody, a pastor there,
said, you know, I know somebody in Delaware
you ought to take out
on a date. And I was like
I am 55 years old.
I don't, I don't know how to date, and I,
but I sort of caved in to it and I said,
oh, God, you have to help me.
You have to send me my wife.
So I started asking for God's intervention.
But I just want to
say that
When I stood in front of my
wife's casket
with my children there, and I'm a
pastor, I didn't have answers.
All I knew was I could see him.
When you don't understand what you're going through,
as long as you can
see him, that's your
door out.
So now I'm going to tell you the
supernatural encounters
>> I had because I didn't back off.
I had to get closer to his face.
When you don't understand what's happening,
get closer to him.
It's the key to your future. So in it,
I was praying, I said, Lord, I'm too old to date.
Bring my wife to me. My wife, now that I've been married to
her 14 years,
Lou Anne was up in New York and actually
she had a dream and the Lord told her to move to Delaware.
And she said, Dela-where?
And the Lord told her, said, you don't want to be like
Jonah and not go
where I send you. And he said
look under
your bed. She looked under her bed.
And there was, with all the pictures that she had,
was a little book she had read
to her son called Jonah.
And she looked at that and she said, I'm
going to Delaware. I'm not going to be like Jonah.
Now, actually, she was going to work with another ministry
She worked in that ministry seven months
and then the Lord moved her
from there and she said, Lord,
I feel like I've missed it.
The church felt like I shouldn't have gone.
And here I
left my business behind, and I,
She had a cleaning business.
Cleaned houses after her divorce. Her husband, he, he
made a six figure income, but bankrupted her when they
divorced.
Have you ever been in that place?
And now she was cleaning the houses of people
she used to be, you know. be friends with.
They help her out to make money.
But when she moved to
Delaware, she gave all
of her income up.
And the Lord says I want you to go to Dover
Destiny. And she's coming down
to our church, and I was preaching,
and the amount of grief
that was on me, actually, it's sort of interesting,
I didn't realize
I'd become comfortable with,
the level of grief
that I didn't even know I was
carrying. Do you know you can carry grief so long
you think it's normal, but it's not.
So as she came,
never been to our church
before except at
a prophetic conference with some other
people. And as, and this is the interesting part, at that
prophetic conference with Sharon Stone,
I was there literally prophesying
and I said, some of you are like Jacob, you're
wrestling. Don't
let go of God until he blesses you.
Well, before she came to
that meeting, some people knocked on her door,
and she had been praying, and, and God
was speaking to her to be like Jacob,
and in it,
as we walked, as she walked
into the church, not ever
having been there before, I'm prophesying
be like Jacob. Hang on to God.
and the people that brought her said
I can't believe that God always talks to you.
Well, she came up, and I remember it and she told me her
story.
And I said, Put up your hand at the
altar.
I said I'm in agreement with you
that God's not going to let, you're not going to let
go of God until he fulfills the blessing
He has for your life
never knowing that she was going to be my wife.
And so,
when that ministry ended, she came down
to visit
that Sunday. Now we have
a prophetic church, and you go over to this corner,
receive a prophetic word.
She went over there,
nobody showed up. Three times. I was
prophesying to people that Sunday,
If their birthday was in February,
come on up, I'm going to
prophesy all over all the February birthdays.
And so I'm doing that.
So while I'm doing that, she finally says,
nobody's coming to me. I'm going to the big guy.
So she comes up to me
and I start prophesying to her,
and as I'm prophesying to her
it's like God's talking to me.
And I said, You're in, you're in a
hallway that feels like a hell-way,
but God's going to water what's
been dry and God
has your life planned.
So as she is receiving
>> That word, I'm thinking, God, are you sending me my
wife? And she, she looks very
young when she's with her son.
They think they're brother and sister. And so I looked at
her and I said, she told me her son,
it was her son's birthday in February.
And I said, Well, how old is your son?
And she said, Well,
he's 28.
Well, my oldest son was 25, I thought,
well, she's
fair game. I just put it in the back of my head.
>> So what happens is,
she wakes up
having a dream.
In this dream, she is seeing the face of my wife,
who she has never met. And the face,
and my wife is saying to her in the dream, continue the revival
at Destiny and take
care of Dale.
I have reminded her several times
Take care of Dale. That's your
God assignment.
Jesus really loves me. And we have a lot of fun.
But you know what happened? I said, Lord,
I believe that she is my wife.
I'm thinking, I'm looking at her
and she's cute. And I was
preaching that night at a church
and she was coming up for the first time on the ministry team.
And my eyes kept, were kept,
>> They were being drawn to her.
And I thought, I can't preach looking at her.
So I stood a certain way
so I couldn't see her face, so I could
concentrate on my message.
So I bring it up again, I said, I want to
encourage you to be like Jacob
and not let go
of God until He blesses you.
And I'm asking you to put in an offering tonight and ask God,
say, this is what I'm believing
for. Well, she
was down to her last $20, and she came up
and put that $20 in the offering,
and she said, God, you
showed me in the dream that Dale's
my husband, I'm asking
for him. Now, listen,
God can show you something, but if you don't want to
ask for it, some of you need to start
asking what God showed you.
You're going to get it because you
ask, not because you need it.
Because asking is your relationship with Father God.
She said I'm asking for Dale as my husband.
And, and so, you know, look what you can get for $20.
Now, I was taking her to a meeting
and after this vision, she wrote out,
you know, I believe that you're,
you know, I
love you, I care about you,
I forget all the wonderful things,
But she didn't email,
she said, I'm going to talk to him.
And we got a cup of coffee
and we knew literally within two
weeks of meeting each other that we
were supposed to be married. It was supernatural.
Now she had been single,
her whole story, you can see it in a book she wrote, God,
I feel like Cinderella.
And in it I had been,
literally, till we got,
my wife dying
until we got married was seven months.
I would not recommend it,
but that's what God chose to do.
And so I said, Lord, when
shall we get married? And in this dream I have
Chuck Pierce is
coming up to us and, and we're all on roller skates
in the middle of a church, not other people,
but the three of us. And, and then Chuck comes up
>> To us and we roller skate
down to the front of the church.
And I know Chuck
Pierce doesn't marry people, but
I had known him and Lou Anne knew him
before I knew her.
And so I called him up and said, Chuck,
I, I feel like we're supposed to ask
you to get married, We want to get married on
six, seven, eight, six
is the number of man, seven is the number of God,
and eight is a new gate.
So when everything you are, the number
six, steps
into number seven, which is
God, it gives you a new gate.
Some of you are about to do that right now.
You're coming out of grief
into a new
whole place in God. So Chuck said
Dale, I'll marry the two of
you. Well, he called back several days later
and he said, Dale, I can't do that because
it's my birthday, I forgot.
and I said, Chuck, we were praying about
when we should get married
and that dream was not about you marrying us.
>> It was about the date.
So how many, you know, God even
set the date. But I'll never forget,
I was in that restaurant and, and I said,
Look, man, I knew
I was supposed to marry
her and she
was supposed to marry me.
And, but there was so much grief for me.
I couldn't, I couldn't kiss her, and she
leaned over and she
kissed me on the cheek. And I
literally felt grief go off of my body
that I'd learned to carry
over the last two and a half years.
I'm going to tell you, when the King of King kisses
you, and God, the future that God has for you
kisses you, grief leaves you.
If, I could not believe how much grief left my body,
my spirit, my mind.
And, you know, I had a dream. I just had one dream
of my wife who died, which is
incredible. And in the dream, she was much younger.
Her hair was different. And I could tell she was
bringing this bowl
before the Lord, his presence.
And she was worshiping him. And I was trying to
look at her eye to see, Are you okay?
Is everything okay?
And she wouldn't even look at me.
She was looking at him. And the Lord said
She's doing what she's supposed to be doing.
You get back to why I have you on earth.
Some of you are stuck because
of someone who died. I'm telling you
they're there in heaven, if they know the
Lord, they're in heaven worshiping.
Him. They're having a better day than you.
You're on earth
for a reason. Get back to your reason.
Well, the last part of this story is,
I want to end it. the Lord uses
Lou Anne, my wife, in deliverance.
We travel together in ministry.
And the Lord spoke to me,
he said, Dale, do you trust me? I said, Yeah, but
I want to understand what happened.
And would you explain this to me?
He said, Dale, this is above your pay grade.
You just trust me and you move forward.
And you know what?
Lou Anne and I have had a wonderful life in ministry,
and I want to tell you this.
This is a
time some of you, you're going to go from grief and pain,
I mean, I went from the
tears of that funeral
to the joy of the
wedding, and God had done a supernatural thing.
You say, why am I sharing this God encounter?
Some of you, it's relationships where
you need a God encounter. God will bring people your way.
We've had to work on the marriage like anything else.
But we have a lot
of fun, a lot of joy. And listen,
we marry each other because we think we're cute,
but God brings us together
because of the anointing. And some of you need to believe,
that are divorced, that God has,
somebody for you that you don't even know
about. God has a future for you.
Some of you maybe lost a job.
God has another job
for you that's going to take you farther
than that one would. I wanted
>> To ask Lou Anne to come and join me
on the set because it puts a face to my story.
And, you know, when I came in, I got on my knee
and I had eight red roses. And I said, seven of
these roses are for this, the seven years of hell
you've been through,
I'm giving you the eighth rose for new beginnings.
Would you marry me? And she said I would be honored to.
She had told me when she lost everything, she put
a little picture of
a BMW on her
refrigerator and said, With God,
all things are possible. And she said
God's going to give me a BMW. And so I looked at one
and I told her, this
is a day you'll never forget. I took her out for a meal,
then we drove to a BMW dealership. Which BMW means
Be My Wife. And it's like,
as we walked into the dealership,
the man that
handed the keys to her
said, Your name's Lou Anne? And said
Here's a BMW for you.
A seven series, the exact one she
>> Had put on the refrigerator.
But you know what the, the man's name was?
His name was Joe Coverdale.
My name is Dale. He was covering Dale.
And, you know, we ministered and led that man to the Lord.
He died two years later of cancer.
But I'm telling you, wherever you go,
where there's grief, expect a blessing.
That's the God we serve.
And I'm going to pray this prayer for you.
I actually want to
prophesy this, where the enemy
has tried to stop you, I speak the life of God.
There's a dream that God has for you that will carry you
past the pain. Never stop believing,
because he is with you. He loves you.
And he's going to bless your life.
