A Testament of the Grace of God on His Servant
by Kathryn Currier with Doyle Davidson
“And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord
thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee,
and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou
wouldest keep his commandments.” (Deuteronomy 8:1)
“Over Forty years
I have obeyed God, wholly.”
I’ve heard Doyle Davidson say that often
and few people can make that statement truthfully, but he can and God is
his witness. He didn’t ask me to write about how God has led him over
forty years, but it was in my heart to do so. When I began, I thought it
would be something accomplished fairly quickly, however it soon became
clear, this was not a simple task. I have not been an eyewitness to
Doyle’s life, however since June 2006 I have personally witnessed moves
of the Spirit of God in his life and his ministry many times. God has
most certainly allowed me to become well acquainted with him and in our
many conversations I have learned about his “up-bringing”, the people
who raised him, and others God brought into his life. I have learned he
is honest and a man of integrity—that is how his parents raised him but
more importantly, that is the heart that God gave him. I have learned
that he doesn’t seek his own will, but only the will of the Father.
Doyle’s cousin Paul Miller, a well known journalist said, “Our actions
must be determined not by their compliance with state or federal law,
nor by public attitudes, but on the basis of doing the right thing.”
Doyle learned years ago in his walk with the Lord that, to do what was
right was to be led by the Spirit and to walk in the word. Psalm 37
says: the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and David prayed
in Psalm 119:
Order my steps in the word: and let not any iniquity
have dominion over me.
Much of this is simply Doyle’s own words from
the writings he has shared on his web site, testimonies of the paths of
correction God has led him on as he laid down his own life and took up
the life of the Lord Jesus Christ, a yielded vessel that God could work
His power through. Called of God, before the foundation of the earth, as
an apostle and prophet, his life, and specifically the past forty two
years is a testament to the faithfulness of God toward His servants but
also an example of what is required of a servant, called of God. One can
never fully understand what God requires of his holy apostles and
prophets, only those who have walked there and they are few—we read
about them in the bible and his is a life that resembles the lives of
God’s servants found in the pages of the bible.
These are only
highlights of his walk since 1970, when he drove away from his
veterinary practice and hospital that he had built and it has all been
to perfect his faith and his love, to prepare him to fulfill God’s
purposes in these last days. Doyle has stated that he spent the first
(nearly) forty years of his life learning the wisdom of man, and the
next forty years being delivered of that wisdom.
Smith
Wigglesworth said about Moses:
“The striking thing about Moses is
that it took him forty years to learn human wisdom, forty years to know
his helplessness, and forty years to live in the power of God. One
hundred and twenty years it took to teach that man…” (from the Active
Life of the Spirit filled Believer)
