Birth and Childhood

Childhood home in 1960’s

William Hardrick -

Revelation Sermons,' chapter 1.

It was in the year of 1957, in a humble house in Denver Co., that William Hardrick was born. One day when he was holding a meeting in Batam Indonesia, the Holy Spirit said to him: Tell your story. The following is apart of his story.

"My father was very poor and worked long hours for little pay in order to support mother and us two boys and one girl. I can remember one cold frosty day when my father had been given the job of changing a car or truck tire, for the sum of three dollars. My mother said that if he would only wait a bit, it might thaw and his task would be easier. But he needed that money for food, for there was none in the house. So he set to work, I watched as his hands became cold to the touch of the metal.

There was snow on the ground and I remember thinking oh Lord I don’t want to do that kind of work when I grow up. When I was six years of age, I realized my FAther was an alcoholic and he drank everyday. One thing I remember is he was very quiet when not drinking and very funny when he was drinking.

At seven years of age, I got in trouble for being disobedient to my mother. In those days parents discipline children for various reasons I could spank them. In my case my parents use of belt or a small stick, and in some cases an extension cord. My mother said wait until your father gets home and he will take care of you, which meant that I was going to another spanking, it those days it was called a whipping.

I think I got a whipping every day, and I had gotten used to going to bed with two pair of pants on. Many nights I was awakened to the sudden sting of a belt. On this occasion I had decided I wasn't going to put up with any more spankings. I decided it was time to run away, the only place that I felt safe to run away to was grandma's house. So I told my younger brother Robert my plan, and soon as my dad got home I ran down the stairs said hi and run as if I were going to play.

Sometime between the ages eight and 12 I started smoking and drinking. My father kept a bottle of  liquor in the house and car. My parents were Christian mother was a Catholic and father was a Baptist. They never really practice their religion, but pretty soon mama became a Baptist I think when I was around 12 years old. And that's when she started going to church. Things were very hard in our house from that time on, and food became more scarce. Mother spent much of her time working and going to school to raise three children, because my father never really kept the job. At That time we moved to another house, a real house with our own bedroom for the first time.

In this house we spent most of our growing up. We went from junior high and high school, we had some very difficult years, I've been smoking pot along with drinking, which my mother did not like. On one occasion I've gotten into an argument with my sister, at that time I had a pellet rifle and I had set up a small target in the garage, to cool off I went to shoot the target, somehow my brother and I got into an argument and in the course that argument I shot him with the pellet rifle, which was like getting shot with a small 22. That event had a very profound effect on my life, I lived with that guilt for 16 years. That day mother came home to an ambulance taking us to the hospital.

––––––––

Evicted From Home

Several years after that my mother did the right thing, she evicted me from the house, I think I was between 14 and 16 years old. I don't remember seeing my family much after that, I spent around 16 years living in a miserable life of drugs and alcohol. I made it to the 12 great but did not graduate, in order to eat I got a job in a restaurant as a dishwasher.

It became a very good experience for me gave some purpose to my life, even though I was still drinking and drugging at that time I was learning the skill of being a Chef. I went from being a dishwasher in 3 1/2 years to being lead cook on the line, in order to learn I worked double shifts, working lunch for free and worked the night shift. The executive chef was a graduate culinary school in New York, he was very good as well as his assistant chef. However they had a problem both of them were addicted to cocaine so in order to keep up with them I started doing cocaine.

That group of employees in that restaurant became my family, my co-workers and other line cooks also did various kinds of drugs, one day I walked in the bathroom and discovered my roommate shooting up heroin and cocaine in a needle, I swore that I would never do that. It wasn't long until I was strung out on that also.

I can never recollect a time when I did not long for God. During this whole time I always had a strong belief in God. And in the Lord Jesus Christ, I remember when I was 12 years old and a Baptist church service watching pastor preached in the old-fashioned Baptist form I don't know if it was Southern Baptist Northern Baptist it was just Baptist me, but we used to call it A Hoop, and a shout. It just made you feel good I remember thinking, Lord one day I want to be a preacher. I love listening to the gospel songs. Every now and then I would go to Catholic Church trying to get rid of the guilt my conscience.

Of course that never helped. One day while trying to get away from a life of drinking and drugs I moved to another small city called Littleton Colorado, got a job, not a small one room trailer... I found out there were more drugs and Littleton than place I left. They had a drug they're called PCP or Angel dust and some little pills called acid. Most of the first drugs that I ever took water felt like I lost control of my mind and even my emotions, PCP was the worst drug the high last too long I think one day after 14 hours I just wanted to die. I think that was the first time that I overdosed.

It was the first time I had an out of body experience, where I was conscious of leaving my body exploding up out of the house seeing the streets and the moon in the sky. Suddenly there was a dark shadow type creature up in the sky watching me and I realized somewhere in my mind I thought that was the shadow of death. I felt the fear like I've never felt before I looked back to the house I saw my body lying on the floor when I looked back to that shadow and I knew either I got back to my body or that thing would get me.

It only took a split second and I was back in my body, it felt like I was convulsing but I know that I was shaking and trembling I think that was the first time I said thank you God. I never did PCP and acid together again. Shortly after that I had a run-in with the Littleton police said they were watching my house. I never did sell drugs never had the courage or the business mind to do that.

First Marriage

Not long after that I think I met my first wife who I had three sons with. I think we were married for maybe five years or seven years but she finally got fed up with my drinking and drugging and she did the right thing she left. However that broken marriage left me heartbroken. Shortly after that I think I may have gone through a rehab program with little success and was living in a small cabin in the mountains of Evergreen Colorado with a co-worker, after months of trying to overcome depression and suicidal thoughts I finally decided I'd had enough.

Suicide Attempt

So one day I went to the pond shop and bought small 22 caliber pistol which I've never owned a gun before well before the pellet rifle. So somehow I thought I would shoot myself in the heart, so after getting high enough on pot cocaine and than alcohol, I shot myself, the bullet went into my side right over the top of my kidney missed all other organs went out the back. Small hole remained my coworker hearing the gun in a panic drove me Denver General Hospital to the emergency room where she declared an accidental shooting took place I never saw her again after that. I spent the week in the hospital after the surgery the doctor said I was very lucky that there was no life-threatening damage.

It was the first week that I had seen my mother over 12 years later. We both cried, she said to me son if you try to commit suicide, I said no, because I knew that that meant that I would be put into a mental hospital. So I went through a small mental health check which I passed and I think that was the first time I went home to my moms house since I had left. I still had a drug problem.

I'm not actually sure where I went out from the hospital but I think for the next three years or so I just drifted from one job to the next or as long as I could keep the job. That was some time during the early 1980s in 1984 I was so depressed I didn't even want to work so I spend the next two years living on the street in Denver Colorado, the winters were the worst but the shelters were helpful.

I think in the spend the winter of 1986 November or December I thought I need that change I need a change, was at that time that I got accepted into a shelter called Samaritan shelter, during that time they help you get a job they try to help you get some rehab and get your life cleaned up. It was during that Winter that two very significant things happen to me.

The Beginning Of Miracles

The first thing that happened was it was the first time since my childhood I can remember having a Christmas experience. I will never forget the gift that I got brand-new T-shirt Fruit of the Loom and brand-new underwear. They are the best Christmas gift ever, second thing that happened to me at that time was I met my life partner for marriage. I did not know however that time that she was my life partner.  Neither one of us at the time serving the Lord, we believe that Jesus, but were not living as Christian's.

Shortly after we meet we started living together, our relationship over the next year and a half, but so did mine's drugs mainly a drug at that time called crack cocaine. The highly addictive which began to dominate my life. After threatening her life and selling the vehicle will buying together drug dealer she had enough, and rightly so she left.

Looking back we can both see how the hand of the working, three months after she take a serious look at getting rehab help, at that time I found the program: that was five day detox was the first step in helping a person make the journey to recovery from drug addiction. After several days in that program I had a spiritual experience, I heard a voice in my mind and it woke me up at 3 AM, it said you must leave this place. The amazing thing is that I knew that was the voice of God.

That man said to me I know what you need as he spoke to me I was very amazed because no one had spoken to me on the bus he was the only person on the bus with the drive. He said I'm going to give you a phone number you are going to remember that number and then you going to call and speak with the man who's going to help you. It is an amazing miracle because my memory has been completely burned by the drugs for the first time I was able to really remember something of vital importance.

The next miracle that occurred was that when I arrive to Debbie's home the grace of God open the door so that I was able to write down the phone number and not forget it.

She was very serious about me not having a relationship with her at the time since we had gone through so much drama together but the grace of God soften her heart and she allowed me to sleep on the floor that night. I was scheduled to meet the man next morning. At that point I have not been in a church for over 16 years I knew nothing about Christianity at that time the only thing I knew was that God was real and he was helping a sinner like me. I had not said a sinner's prayer, I hadn't been to an altar call, I just at that point was completely dependent upon his grace.

The Pentecostal Blessing

I did not even know the name of the man I was scheduled to meet. The only thing I knew was the address that he had given me, I did not even know the address to where I spent the night.

This is another amazing miracle because the address where Debbie my life partner had moved to when she left me three or six months earlier was the exact address that the man on the phone gave me to meet him. Even as sinners when we think we are not in the plan for the will of God he knows how to place us exactly where we're supposed to be. The only thing I had to do was to find the building number and his apartment number.

We were scheduled to meet at 11 AM it was at the time that I found the apartment and knocked on the door. As the door open I was surprised to see a man with one eye. He did not give me the customary greeting of hello he simply said in a very commanding voice come in. As I stood at the door something invisible begin to grip my entire being I begin to shake tremble. I Begin to feel something like a hot warm fire pour over me.

In that Moment I began to cry great tears, I felt as if my entire soul was one giant tear drop. As I stepped into his home another command, he said sit down. As I weep sitting there shaking and trembling he began to speak, it was as if his voice was on the inside of me I could hear every word.  He said today you will be born again by the Spirit of the living God through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Today they spirit of witchcraft and sorcery will be taken off of your life and you will be delivered from many Devils, I declare unto you the gospel of the Kingdom in the book of acts chapter 8 spoken by Philip the evangelist.

I don't know how long we spoke I just know that this presence of the living God was all like fire being poured all over me and inside of me and a great burning presence of God then he said another command stand up as I stood up shaking became more noticeable, in that moment the man Evangelist Stanley Brown poured anointing oil over the top of my head, then he placed both of his hands upon my head and began to command with strong words against the Devils to come out of me in the name of Jesus Christ.

He Prayed Father in heaven deliver this man from witchcraft and sorcery and all the power of the devil today! In that moment it was as if I passed out or maybe even died, I felt something go out and then the next thing I can remember is my mouth and my voice, my mouth is moving my voice is speaking words that I do not understand I feel such a heavenly peace I have the joy, I feel that I'm speaking words only God himself can understand.

This is the blessed hope the Pentecostal power of the Holy Ghost speaking In other Tongues I was given by the Spirit God! I was told I was passed out on the floor for 45 minutes, I will never forget being born of the spirit of the living God February 2, 1989 ministry of evangelist Stanley Brown Revival Fire Faith Ministries. The Glorious Presence of the Glory of God was resting upon me, I send you this testimony for the Glory of God.

For 3 months I have been exercised about the full Pentecost. I had the clear witness of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit 25 years ago. This brought a marvellous manifestation of God in special graces and a tremendous hunger for the Word of God. I am led to believe a real Pentecost, according to the book of Acts and the gospel of Mark. In many churches there seemed a great deal of letter, but very little of the spirit that would give the hungry and needy a Baptism of Fire such as would burn up the flesh and self.

India and Indonesian Missions

Today I am actually living in the Acts of the Apostles’ time. I am speaking with new tongues, the Holy Fire of God’s Presence fills me till my heart moves to the glory of God, and my whole being is filled with the Presence of the Holy Ghost. Almost am I led to believe that 20 years is not too long to wait for the Holy Anointing of God the Holy Ghost.

I perfectly well understood the glow and Holy Presence. I found the full Presence and Power to restore believers and to heal the sick. My experience is that this does not take place in some kinds of meetings, the reason is that, to a great measure, they do not believe the full Gospel, I find that, even in these times, they cannot enter in because of their unbelief. I praise God for Pentecost.

The glorious remembrance of these moments is beyond my expression to give-when I could not find words to express, then an irresistible Power filled me and moved my being till I found to my glorious astonishment I was speaking in other tongues clearly. After this a burning love for everybody filled my soul. I am overjoyed in giving my testimony, praying for those that fight this truth, but I am clearly given to understand that I must come out of every unbelieving element. I am already witness of signs following. Praise Him.

Introduction

Display Your Spiritual Hunger:

There are dozens of books on the subject of Fasting, as well as dozens of methods and reasons why people fast. Many people fast for health reasons, others fast for various needs they may have, such as solving a financial problem, or seeking wisdom from God to solve a problem. This book is regarding fasting and the relationship fasting has to the declaring the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. The main focus is regarding expressing Spiritual Hunger.

For many years I have heard many Pastors and spiritual leaders ask God, where is the Power of God for healing the sick! There are times when christians get sick and need a prayer of Faith. Many have died from sickness and many are sick even now! I have been seeking the Lord for the spiritual revelation in this book for many years and I truly Thank the Lord for answering my prayers, and I believe that this spiritual revelation will be a great blessing to the Body of Christ and the world.

That being said I believe it is important to say this book is regarding fasting for fulfilling the purpose and plan of God concerning the salvation of man. Many churches have times of fasting throughout the year for various reasons, in this book you will learn the true 3-fold purpose intended for New Testament Fasting, which I am 100% sure will increase the number of salvations, healings and baptisms in the Holy Spirit.

When most Christians think of displaying their spiritual hunger they think of what kind of ways do you show God or others how hungry you are for God, like do you go to church, do you read your bible, do you have a personal worship time, or do you have a personal prayer devotional time. What do you do to express your spiritual hunger for God?

I have discovered that these are common expressions of christian living, they are not what God considers expressions of spiritual hunger. So let me give you a definition of Kingdom Of Heaven Spiritual Hunger. It is an expression of denying oneself. In the Bible this concept is referred to as Fasting.  There are many great examples of it throughout the OT, however the place of reference I am focusing on is in the book of Isaiah 58:3-14

Scripture Isa. 58:1-14

‘Why have we fasted,’ say they, ‘and you don’t see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you don’t notice?’

"Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your laborers.

4 Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You don't fast today so as to make your voice to be heard on high.

5 Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh?

6 "Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

7 Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?

8 Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you; and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.

9 Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I

am.’ "If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

10 and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;

11 and Yahweh will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters don’t fail.

12 Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.

13 "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of Yahweh honorable;
