Sid: We want everyone everywhere to have such a passion for God because He says “If you will draw near to Him He will draw near to you,” there’s no maybe and there’s no might. There are people listening to us right now and they’re saying “I wonder why God isn’t drawing near to me. I wonder if there’s something wrong with me?” No you’re probably missing that one scripture from James, this is it “Draw near to God He will draw near to you.” My guest Hank Kunneman I’m speaking to him in Omaha, Nebraska where he’s Senior Pastor of Lord of Host Church. Hank I have heard some pretty interesting things about you. One of the most amazing is when you got born again baptized in the Holy Spirit you had a heavenly visitation tell me about it.
Hank: Yeah, actually it happened back in 1984 I was filled with the Holy Spirit; had just been saved about two months.
Sid: How old were you?
Hank: I was about 18 years of age and I got filled with the Holy Ghost. One night people laid hands on me and there was a fluent language began to come. That night I went home and began to pray in this heavenly language and immediately I felt this sensation that I was being lifted up and I was being pulled up from my body and I was pulled out up into a vision. And I was standing before what felt like a multitude of people I could see in front of my eyes that there was a throne and I did not see who was on the throne because of the brightness of the light. I could hear the sound and I could hear singing; and immediately when we began to sing it was like a whole choir of heaven and the angels were gathered there together. We just began to fall on our face and we began to cry and worship the Lord. It was shortly after that also I was praying in the spirit again and all of a sudden I had a vision again, I was taken out again and Jesus appeared to me.
Sid: Excuse me, when you use terminology I was taken out in the spirit, what do you mean?
Hank: Well, in the book of Ezekiel the Bible talks about that that happened to prophet Ezekiel where he could be lifted up or drawn out of his body and taken in the spirit realm into a visitation from heaven. That’s what it felt like to me the only way I could describe it is that I didn’t see it with my eyes I literally felt being pulled up out of my body being carried out into a vision and then everything at that moment becomes subject to what you are experiencing. And I saw Jesus at that point and He said “I want to show you some things.” And we began to take a walk and looking I remembering seeing the mountains and I remembering seeing the hills. I remember seeing people visibly going back and forth in heaven. And I hadn’t been saved very long so I didn’t have time for theological mind to really compute what was happening. But what happened is Jesus said “I want to show you some things.” We began to walk into this town into this village and there was what looked like people that were working on houses and they were building things all around me. And then the Lord said this to me “I want you to come and see one of the greatest parts of heaven.” And I thought boy “What would be one of the greatest parts of heaven.” So we walked out of this village, all I can remember Sid there was this open field and it was very vast rolling hills and there was flowers and the trees were blowing and the grass were blowing. And the Lord looked at me and He said these words and He had a very serious look on His face. He said “This is reserved for the last final great harvest that is yet to come and for their places of dwelling that are yet to be built.” And I remember looking at that moment going “My goodness this is huge there is so much room here.” And we began to walk and when we began to walk I began to hear what sounded like people crying. And all of a sudden Jesus turned around to me in this experience and He said “They’re not crying like you would hear crying in earth. He said “Hank this is the cry of prayer, the prayer of travail.” Of course I didn’t know what that meant I hadn’t been saved that long. We immediately walked in and there was this garden, and Sid it was one of the most beautiful things that I’ve ever seen it was like an outside garden. And there was people relatives, patriarchs of old. I just knew it in my heart as I was looking at them they were kneeling praying and they were interceding. And I remembering going to this wall with Jesus aid He said “Come and Look.” As we went to this wall and we were able to look somehow into this earthly realm and see what was happening. And there was great prayer and there was great travail and it was being brought up in heaven for the saints that were on the earth and for the events that were on the earth. And Jesus turned to me and Hank he said “Always tell the people of the earth that I stand forever to make intercession for them. And the saints that have gone before you and those that are even in heaven are praying for the events of earth and lose not heart.” It was shortly after that I woke up and I began to have supernatural experiences.
Sid: Why did God do this with you; you were a baby believer, you’re brand new. Why did you have such an extraordinary experience?
Hank: I think that when I gave my heart to the Lord; I think that’s one thing. Number 2 I think that the grace and the callings of God they come without repentance and God puts them in your life. And so I believe it was part of the training of some things that I would later walk in whether it be national events
Sid: Did He tell you much about your ministry during those visitations?
Hank: That actually happened later on in about 19… I want to say it was about 1986. I used to pray about 4 to 6 hours a day as a young man I had nothing else to do I worked at a gas station just trying to serve others.
Sid: How did you pray 4 to 6 hours?
Hank: I would pray in tongues a lot and that’s all I would do.
Sid: That be the only way that I think that you could do it.
Hank: Yeah, because you don’t know how to pray as you ought the scriptures say. So I would just pray in tongues.
Sid: How did you know to do that; most Christians that are baptized in the Holy Spirit speak in unknown tongues they do that once and then they don’t realize what they’re missing. How did you know?
Hank: Well, I knew because of first of all because of how different I felt the very night that I began to begin to be filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking tongues. Number 2: I was so hungry for God. Number 3: Just the supernatural experience that God brought into my life made me very very hungry and I always had it. Even when I was 5 years I remember I used to live on the Island of Guam. My parents were in the… my dad was in the Air Force.
Sid: Wait a second, did someone some great man or woman of God lay hands on you as a child as you know of I’m just curious.
Hank: Never, I mean I was a heathen we were all heathens
Sid: Okay.
Hank: And when I was 5 years of age I remember I heard a voice that startled me. I was sitting out in my parent’s home there in Island of Guam and I heard a voice speak to me that His hand was upon my life for good and not for evil and that He had great and mighty things for me. But my heart and my job and my life I don’t remember the exact words He said but “My responsibility,” and again it was in the language of a 5 year old, “was to do good and to seek to do good.” So my mom would she would always laugh because I would walk into shopping centers with her and some place and little old ladies and little old men would walk up and say “God’s hands upon your son the Lord’s going to something great with this young man.” And so of course Sid that would frighten me because whenever I wanted to do something bad when I was a teenager I was always afraid because of this “Hand” that was upon my life. And so I could see from a very beginning of 5 years of age and my teenage years…
Sid: That’s almost like Samuel he was taken care of like as a child.
Hank: Right.
Sid: By being in the temple he couldn’t do the things other kids did.
Hank: And even the friends that I used to hang around with would always say “Hank how do you know certain things about people?” So I really believe that as Jeremiah was anointed as a prophet when he was in his mother’s womb I really believe that that gifting was upon me even while I was in my mother’s womb.
Sid: You know Hank I have no noticed this people that have this gifting and then they get saved it’s like you can either use it for the world or you can use your gifting for God. I’m amazed the number of people that say that even before they were saved they were prophetic and didn’t understand the gift.
Hank: Well, and that’s really what happened with me like I said in 1986 I was praying; I used to pray mostly in the Spirit and I worshiped God. And all of a sudden I was kneeling down by my bed and I looked up and all of a sudden I saw a bright light and as soon as I looked at the bright light an angel appeared and stood before me and he said “Come, you have a visitation (I forget if it was the word visitation), but you come to a place that has been prepared.” So I remember he grabbed my hand and I went and I remember the same sensation. And I remember Ezekiel and he would fall on his face or he would stand up straight and he would be pulled up he would be lifted up by his hair. And I read stories like that and I think “God that’s happened to me.” And I was taken out by this angel and I remember we were moving in the spirit realm at this point; whether it was a vision or it was happening. Boy I wish I could explain that and I just know that it happened and I was being taken now in the Spirit and all of a sudden we came down in a platform and another angel that was waiting for me to arrive on this platform. On this platform Sid there was kings, there were rulers of nations, there was presidents that were seated upon these seats. I knew it because it’s almost like in the Spirit realm you know things and I knew not only by the way that they were dressed by the way that they were sitting; I knew that they were men and they were woman of prominence. And the angel that was waiting for me on the platform turned around and he said “Behold the tongues of the tribes of many nations.” And he had me look out and as far as my eye could see I saw masses of people. Now the Angel of Lord said “God holds you responsible to reach these that you have seen with your own eyes.” And then he turned around and he pointed his finger and he says it shall even be written of your life that you shall decree the word of the Lord to kings and rulers of nations. At that moment the angel that was waiting on the platform immediately gave me a book. And again my… it seems like a lot of my supernatural experiences have been a lot like Ezekiel. Now I’ve never had to thank God lay on my side for certain amount of time or I think he had to be nude at one time; thank God that I never had to do that. But what I’ve had is supernatural experiences and there was this book that was handed to me by this angel. And it was written upon it and it was written “Revelation 10.” And I’ll read it to you and it said verse 9 “I went to the angel, he gave me a little book and he said unto me take it and eat it and it shall make thy belly bitter but it shall be in your mouth sweet as honey. Now here’s the part that when I was commissioned into the ministry in 1986 with these 2 angels. Here’s what was written upon the scroll and he said unto me “You must prophesy before many people, nations, tongues, and even kings.” That was what was written upon the very scroll that I ate.
Sid: Hank were out of time we’ll pick up here on tomorrow’s broadcast. Mishpochah, Hank has verified prophesies of so many events before they came to pass. He has seen the near future of America. He has seen what is about ready to happen with the church. We’ll be talking about that all this week.
