Bro. Dell,
Several times in my life I have sought God , and without fail he always points me back to listen to you…. I know you don’t know me but thru out my life you have been a huge influence…. I grew up Church of God…. But have prayed, God just show me truth and show me your power…. I remember at 22 years old walking out of the Church I grew up in and looking to the sky and saying God I just can’t live this. It’s just to hard…. This was right after the preacher had preached, that women can’t wear pants. Wear makeup, wear jewelry, and on this particular night the preacher said if Jesus comes tonight and you are wearing pajamas( cause they were made like pants) then I just don’t think you’ll make it.
I walked outside looked into the heavens an said to God, it’s to hard I can’t do this…. Almost immediately I heard a voice say, “Good, lean on me and I will carry you. I will show you.”
Back when Covid started again I felt like God said look up Dell Young… so I got on the internet and looked you up… I didn’t know you were not in Adel any more. Saw you were in Valdosta… just wanted you to be encouraged and to keep doing as God directs you cause , you have to be doing what God wants cause He keeps leading me to you for truth and to witness the power of God. You speak the truth from the lips of God himself. I believe that… I feel it in my spirit… The very first time I ever heard you speak was at Liberty Church of God, you ran a revival there years ago….
I have to tell you this. My husband and I had gone thru a rough patch and was trying to get back together…. He had said, let’s go to Hazlehurst Church of God on that particular night. I thought for a moment and said no, Let’s go to Adel and hear Dell Young…. It was lunchtime and I didn’t know your hours of service but we took off to Adel. We were just gonna wait till church started but when we got there found out y’all were having church I think starting at 3:00 in the afternoon…. We didn’t know a soul there except, I had heard you years before preach that revival at Liberty Church of God in Bacon, county…
My daughter was like 10 or 12 years old and she went with us… not long after we got there we realized church was starting in a few minutes…. So we went in… sat down about halfway the church on a pew… people came and shook hands and then church started but no one knew us….. you started off by saying, Church, God has completely changed my message that I was planning on preaching tonight…. You said if you think you are here by accident? You are not, this is a Devine appointment of God…..
God has changed my message and I will be preaching on Restoration…..(remember I said we were trying to get thru a rough patch). We had been separated , for almost a year…
I just looked up and thought in my mind, God you fixing to show out in here tonight… I felt in my heart He had ordained the whole service for us to be there.
Yes you preached about God restoring what the canker worm had stolen…
Then you asked the church to all stand…. You was very hesitant. Then asked if everyone would please come to the font of the church… we went along with everyone else and stood near the front pew. You said a prayer and then said…. I don’t want to embarrass anyone but will the family that is right here come forward….. you prayed with us and gave us a message straight from God to us, thru you. Let me tell you, it changed our lives…..my daughter is now 43 so that’s been around 33 years ago…
. God thought that little 22 years old girl that walked out out of that Church of God years before and told God it was to hard, was worth changing a whole service for and He showed me He cares for even me and I was worth it. He even was concerned about my marriage….It changed my life!!!!!! That’s who God is…..But what if you, his servant had not been willing to follow God…..????
My husband has been dead for 10 years and I miss him everyday but I know if he could tell you he would say by you following God you changed our lives…..
Be encouraged brother, you may think what you are doing doesn’t matter , but I’m here to say, God thinks you matter. And my family knows you do…
