Below, in chronological order, is the story of all of God’s and Satan’s dealings with me, as I learned to hear God and to walk with Christ on the cross carrying, self-denying, world hating, faith walking journey to fullness in Christ. Most of these recordings were captured in real-time as my personal journal.
Birth to 2010
Astonishing Grace to the Chief of All Fools is the raw autobiographical story of God’s remarkable patience and dealings with Michael Chriswell to bring him into the fullness of Christ after 19 years of struggling as a defeated “Christian”.
2010 - 2012
Trusting God in Crisis, picks up where Ch. 28 of Michael’s autobiography leaves off, with a video journey into one of the most remarkable acts of God providence in Michael’s life. Against all odds, and in response to God’s direction, Michael fired his divorce attorney and trusted God alone for his defense in a high conflict divorce case. What God did in response to this faith is so remarkable that no one had ever heard of such a thing!
2012 - Story Video
December 20, 2012 - After overcoming a dark childhood and a tragic business failure, Michael Chriswell had finally achieved the "good life". He was married with five children, living in a million dollar home with all the toys, travel, a successful business and being called the next "Zig Ziglar". Then tragedy struck and he lost everything, all at once. In total desperation he cried out to God for help. What happened next was astonishing and turned into a story that literally saves lives!
2012 - 2014 (200+ hours)
I had seen the “Red Sea” part, and had escaped the “Pharaoh’s” control of my life, by the gracious providence of God, but now I was going to enter into a long and difficult season of adversity, poverty, persecution, discontentment, injustice, homelessness, uncertainty, and multiple ways God was going to test my faith. These were the years that would prove to be the most important in preparing me and training me for the bounty of fruit which God was going to one day produce through this ministry.
2015 (Coming Soon)
This series is a continuation of my personal journal recordings in the Trusting God in the Wilderness series, where I begin to transition from that seemingly mundane and difficult wilderness experience of weakness and constant suffering, into the very promises of Scripture for life to the full in Christ, abundant rest in my soul, and for the specific promises God had given me for financial support of my ministry work, a wife of noble character, and an abundantly fruitful ministry.
2016 (Coming Soon)
This is the remarkable, step-by-step, faith journey of how God gave me a promise for a second wife (Persis in India) and how He walked me into it, through 36 obstacles standing in the way, including the Indian government, all by faith and obedience, as He acted in our behalf. The evidence of God and providence of His deliverances in this story are absolutely astonishing, regardless of the outcome which was to later come, as she would begin to fall into spiritual apostasy.
2016 - 2019
I loved my 2nd spouse dearly, and through all the dark days of her decent into apostasy, I always knew that God had given her to me, no matter what her choices had been since we married. Her choices after our being married, which led to her apostasy in Christ, do not take away the incredible glory due God’s name, for all the miracles He did to put us together in the first place. The same is true for Israel; all of her unfaithfulness and unbelief does not in any way nullify God’s faithfulness to her, and it in no way discredits all the miracles He did to bring her out of Egypt and to Himself, to begin with.
2018 (Coming Soon)
One of the most frightening experiences of my walk with Christ, came in 2018, when suddenly, without warning, I could feel his anointing leave me. This was a season, where God intentionally withdrew His grace from me, to serve as a permanent reminder that apart from Him I can do absolutely nothing. This was a terrifying and wonderful experience all at the same time. With God’s help, I will not forget who has been doing all the work in this ministry, and it is not me!
2020 (Coming Soon)
On December 12, 2020, I published on YouTube, what was then called “Full Circle Faith”. Similarly to how the Lord allowed Paul to appeal to Caesar, which kept him in prison, the Lord allowed me to boldly claim that if my apostate spouse didn’t come back, that I should be considered a false prophet. This story nearly became a total death blow to my ministry. Years later I would realize I had misinterpreted the meaning of God’s promises to me for resurrection, and I eventually took great comfort when I saw in Jeremiah 3:7, that even God Himself thought Israel would return to Him, but she did not!
2020
The remarkable 2.5 year story of God’s redemption of my excruciating experiences with two previously unfaithful spouses. These are the moment by moment lessons, principles, and prophetic purposes God had in this faith story, as Lisa and I walked hand in hand with Father into this most painfully acquired blessing of our lives. God tested our faith severely and disappointed us many times, but each time, we recovered and kissed the hand that struck the blows!
2022
This documentary tells the story of God's miraculous and SHOCKING final response to my two marriages and two divorces, as a Christian minister, which had been such a source of public shame and persecution for years! Suffering and Afflictions Make Way for God's Glory! This story will strengthen the faith of those going through terrible marriages, painful divorces, or perhaps even the shame and guilt of re-marriage. The Bible says, "When the Enemy Shall Come in Like a Flood", The LORD shall raise up a standard against him." (Isaiah 59:19 KJV). This story shows that indeed God often allows Satan to come into our marriages, but with humility, faith, and patience, we will eventually see the indescribable grace and power of God, to overcome and bring redemption to all that Satan did, or may be currently doing in your life, your marriage, or your divorce!
2023
This is the story of perseverance, perseverance, and more perseverance, through the most trying test of our faith, and blows to our hope, as we battle for my freedom, to walk into God’s promises, against all hope, and against all the non-stop efforts of Satan to keep my way blocked.
