GIVING TESTIMONY

Larry Zimmer is available to give personal testimony. Below is a short summary of his journey.

“In 1964, at the age of 15, I felt a calling, enrolled in a Catholic Seminary, and began my walk with the Lord. Soon I realized that it would be many years of Latin, Greek, and science before I could become a priest. So, after 2 years of seminary, I dropped out.

While in the seminary, I had learned to play the guitar. Upon returning to public high school I discovered Rock and Roll. Some friends and I formed our own group, perfected our skills, built a repertoire, made a local name for ourselves. For the next eight years I toured the Midwest , played music, recorded songs and had a grand old time. Our group, Cox’s Army, backed up and headlined for hundred of gigs, playing with many, many big name groups. My relationship with the Lord took a back seat.

In the mid-70’s, some rather unfortunate incidents happened, and I began to see that I had made a wrong turn along the way. I sought the Lord, not quite sure if He really was there; but He answered my plea in a most dramatic way – He revealed Himself to me…face to face! I then knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that He indeed was real. It was His peace that hooked me. His Holy Spirit always comes in peace.

Once my salvation was established, my walk with Christ really began. Though I struggled some over the next twenty years, He always stayed by my side. In the late 70’s I branched out in a new direction, taking courses in audio engineering. I bought some recording and sound equipment and started recording for individuals and groups and also doing live sound. Over the next fifteen years, I did sound production for many more big name music acts.

In the early 90’s, a prophecy was given in Kansas City about a new move of Christian music – a music and worship to lift the Lord’s name on high, to touch and heal souls, to pour out grace and a spirit of salvation. The prophecy called this move “The Sons of Thunder.” This prophecy has dramatically influenced my sense of worship and praise, and moved me into new areas of Christian music.

As I played with Christian musicians over the past fourteen years, I’ve witnessed people saved, healed, and delivered, while they were dancing, praying, and worshipping the Lord with all their heart.

The spirit is moving! I am ecstatic to be part of this movement. These events have led me to put together a contemporary worship band and to produce a CD called ‘The Sons of Thunder.’ I feel the Lord moving me to take this music out and get it to the people, churches and ministries.

I challenge you…Do you want a deeper relationship with the Lord? Then praise Him and worship Him in this new move of the Spirit. Do you want a more intimate relationship with the Lord? Then ‘enter His gates with thanksgiving and praise.’ Lift His name up. I pray that He blesses you, as He is blessing me. I invite you to praise Him, seek Him and His presence, and know that He will be there with you.”
