About Felix Harcourt and His Story
There was a time in my Christian life; I noticed that I was trying extremely hard to please God through holy moral living, bible reading, prayer, and all the other rules and regulations of Christianity. I became discouraged.
“It wasn’t that God was not faithful, He was, He is and will ever be faithful. I noticed there was a disconnection with my Christian living. I was doing all the right things and experiencing little success, and burnt out with Christian living.”
I could not do all I thought was required of me. I could not answer the questions within myself: How can I ever repay my debt for Jesus’ sacrifice? Have I done enough for God? At one point, I remember feeling obligated to read more bible chapters every day, go for street evangelism, give more offerings. And what I feel compelled to do, I eventually begin to hate.”
I struggled with it for a long time, but I never stopped doing what I was doing as a Christian, I never stopped serving, I never stopped studying the word of God, I never stopped praying and asking pertinent questions.
"I battled those feelings of hopelessness and despair until it increased my blood pressure; the good news is that I am healed from that self-acquired symptom."
When I came to the end of myself, and my emotions subsided, God spoke through my wife, and she suggested I should enroll into Bible college, I reluctantly agreed, and I thank God I did because the result is amazing and changed the course of my life.
I thank God for my wife, and I thank God for the Bible college I attended, but I thank God most because everything I learned came directly from Him. I remember before starting Bible college and through the course of Bible college; I was praying and having conversations with God throughout, and He taught me Himself.
“After training at Charis Bible College in Plymouth, Minnesota, God gave me a vision after He separated me for four weeks without contact with anybody and without food but just water. It was an unexplainable experience in His presence, and this exceptional experience gave birth to Felix Harcourt Ministries with a vision to Unveil the true nature of God to the nation’s and people of the world; and to demonstrate the character of the Spirit.” with the mission of “Connecting people to Jesus, Changing Lives.”
"I finally realized that relationship with God [Christianity] was not about how much we work extremely hard to please God; it was about knowing who He is and experiencing Him. It changed my life."
