Biography
Gabriel, the Son of a Dutch Reformed Pastor was raised in South Africa. At age 18, he became despondent with all the legalism in the church. His search for the reality of God and the opportunity to experience God personally led him nowhere. For the next four years he experienced life in the world, “wondered in the wilderness” and away from the church.
After terrible bouts of depression and one failed suicide attempt God intervened supernaturally, Gabriel encountered a face to face experience with the Person of the Holy Spirit, early one morning in October 1979. Several other similar experiences would follow over the course of the next eight months. His life was back in the hands of God, and the Holy Spirit had become his best personal friend. Subsequently, he was also baptized and filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.
In 1980 in a vision, God called Gabriel to the Prophetic ministry for the last days of the church. After Bible School [graduated 1981], and the first five years of fulltime ministry, Gabriel came to America in 1988 by the Word of the Lord.
The Passions of Gabriel’s HEART IN MINISTRY are as follows:
1. To introduce Christians to the Person of the Holy Spirit.
2. To spread the tangible and diversified anointing of the Holy Spirit among believers, ranging from laughter and joy to miracles and visions.
3. To root out religious strongholds and doctrines from the church, and replace them with the simple, profound truths of God, which truths, the Holy Spirit will confirm with signs following.
4. To build the glorious church this will then bring in Gods magnificently great harvest for the Lord’s return.
Gabriel’s heart is to see the church change and become the “Glorious Church” which God had intended for us to become. For the past 25 years Gabriel has been running with the vision of Compassion for the church which the Lord had given to him.
Key facts of GABRIEL’S MESSAGE are as follows:
1. To IDENTIFY the prophetic timetable of God in this hour.
2. To PRESENT God’s end time vision for the church.
3. To PREPARE God’s people for the forthcoming global revival.
4. To EMPOWER God’s people through the Holy Spirit to do supernatural works in this last day revival.
5. To INSPIRE God’s people to seek their individual Destiny for this final hour.
6. To EQUIP every believer to find and fulfill their individual Destiny in this final hour.
7. To UPROOT all religious works; doctrines and spirits of religion which presently still occupy the place of the Holy Spirit in the church. When the Spirit of God is allowed once again to take up His rightful place, the church will become “HOLY HABITATION OF GOD” a Place of Glory.
Since 1993, the ministry has experienced a continual flow of Revival. In some instances, revivals have been extended for as long as six weeks with crowds up to 3000 in the US and on occasion in Europe 6000. The diversified works of the Holy Spirit in these meetings have been phenomenal. Virtually the full scope of the Holy Spirit’s supernatural ministry has been witnessed, including some remarkable miracles, especially with certain types of cancers and even more remarkable there are many accounts of people who were diagnosed with AIDS that have been fully healed and remain healed, right up to this present time.
It is amazing what God will do when His people come together and they are truly hungry for Him and cry out to Him, for a Heavenly Visitation. When we approach God with such great hunger and thirst and are prepared to put aside all of our doctrines and differences, and come before God with a pure heart, pure hunger and pure faith, the results will continue to be the story of this ministry, “Revival and Glory from Heaven”.
