About J.Giovanni Lasso

J Giovanni Lasso, one of ten children was born on a ranch in Columbia, South America. When I was seven years old, two of his brothers and his mother told me I was the black sheep of the family, because I did not look like them, perhaps, joking.

When I was five years old, I had a dream, a vision, and a revelation from the Holy Spirit, whom I did not know at the time.

The Holy Spirit revealed all these things when I received Jesus

Christ as my Savior and Lord.

I dreamed I was standing on the top of a mountain, looking out toward a big valley. The temperature was about 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Suddenly, it began to increase to 85, 95, and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I saw the valley in flames, and I woke up. After I was born again, the Holy Spirit interpreted my dream and revealed that this event will happen when Jesus Christ comes back to earth with his church.

After finishing high school, I attended a university, but did not pass the first year. My mother asked me to show her my grades. She asked me, what was I going to do? I responded that my brother in Bogota, Columbia will help me to study, and I will also work. However, when I said to my mother that I was traveling to Bogota; twenty seconds later I told her I was also leaving Columbia. That thought was not mine; it came out through my mouth and out of my spirit by the Holy Spirit which was revealed to me when he called me to the ministry.

The last two years of my grammar school was completed in Catholic school. They did not teach me about Jesus Christ ministry, only stories about Mary. When I came to the United States my plan was to go to a university and study mechanical

engineering, which I did, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science from the University of California in Berkeley. Three months after that I began to search for spiritual happiness which I did not know came out of my spirit.

After visiting two so-called Christian churches, I found out there was no altar call, but pass the bucket and the service was over. Later I met several born-again people, but they never asked me, Giovanni, have you received Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord? I wanted to quit and forget about the whole thing,

but one night after I arrived home, I turned on the television to watch the Late Show. Suddenly, a thought came out of my spirit saying, turn the channel. I did so without asking a single question. I saw a man on the television screen speaking to a group of people at a Full Gospel Businessmen International Fellowship in Oakland, California. At the time he was inviting others to a restaurant for a free breakfast and to talk about Jesus.

I was really happy to meet the man I have desired to know. I attended the meeting and was born again. I started attending a small Full Gospel Businessmen International Fellowship Christian church for the first time in my life. Later, the same Christian organization prayed for me to be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues.

After I was born again, I attended Patten Bible College, in Oakland, California and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible Theology. I later moved to San Jose, California where I began working full-time for an electronics corporation in the Silicon Valley, I also started witnessing part-time in the streets of the city of San Jose during my spare time. I began to lead more people to Christ as I was led by the Holy Spirit.

A few months later, I heard a minister teaching the Bible quoting Joshua 1:8. I read it over and over until I memorized it.

I started confessing Joshua 1:8 day and night and eventually decided to read the

Bible once a year from Genesis to

Revelation. I have read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation for 14 years in a row.

Two years after I was filled with the Holy Spirit, he spoke to me to take a walk to downtown San Jose which was located about half a mile from my apartment. When I got to the main street, the Holy Spirit said, walk across the street. I was facing a twelve-story building and he said, enter. I did not realize I was having an open vision where my physical eyes were opened, but my spirit eyes took over seeing through my physical eyes.

When I entered the building, the receptionist said, may I help you? Yes, I want to talk to someone here. She responded, give me the name and floor where that person is staying. I replied, "I do not know!" "She said, I cannot help you." "But this is an emergency, I said, I have to visit this patient now." I thought she thought that I had been smoking marijuana. She did not know I was drunk with the Holy Spirit fire. I walked out of that hospital and my soul spoke to my spirit, Giovanni, you are crazy.

Two weeks later, at the end of a church service, my pastor talked to a man who said, he was a chaplain and that he was recruiting church members in several other churches to train them to become chaplains to work in nursing homes and hospitals. I attended a four-week ministry training with a class of 32 people. Upon completion of the training, the school gave us a diploma and a license. The Holy Spirit said to me, now you

do not have to go through the receptionist to minister in those places.

As I said before, the Holy Spirit had been teaching me how to share the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ with some difficult professionals like medical doctors, engineers, and lawyers. Also, with religious people like Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Muslims, atheists, and Buddhist. However, I have been instrumental in leading them to Christianity about 80% of the time as led by the Holy Spirit.

One Friday night, Lisa, a friend of mine called me saying,

"Would you help me with Joe, my brother-in-law who is in the hospital, dying of cancer." I asked her, have you witnessed to him? Yes, but he will not accept Jesus as his Savior because he is Catholic. The Holy Spirit said to me, go and talk to Joe, because this is the man I spoke to you about three years ago during the open vision.

On Saturday night, we went to see Joe who was on the fourth floor of the hospital. As we entered his room there were 17 of Joe's Catholic friends seated in chairs and the room was crowded. Josie introduced me to Joe. Suddenly, I spoke to the Holy Spirit saying out of my spirit, if you want me to witness to him, I would like for all of Joe's friends to leave the room. Two minutes later, the nurse came in and said, "I am going to change Joe's clothes and bedding; therefore, everyone please leave the room right now." She did not know Josie or myself and she said to me, I will call you in, after I finish with Joe. Once she had finished, she called me in while Josie waited outside the room with the door closed. Now, I had to face the devil who wanted Joe, but I was not alone. Jesus, and the Holy Spirit were with

me. The battle began and I said to Joe, I am not visiting you because your sister-in-law invited me, but I came in the name of our Creator. He said, I have kicked out several preachers. When he said that I thought I would surely be next, but he said, I think you are a sincere man.

Joe opened the door of his Spirit, and of course, I began to fill it with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For some reason, I started speaking with a loud voice. He understood there is a heaven and a hell. Finally, I said to him, that Jesus was going to speak to him, Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men, he will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven (Matthew 10:32-33).

Now, do you understand what Jesus is saying to you?

Yes, I do. Then here is the question for you. Are you going to confess him as your Savior and Lord or reject him by confessing he is not your redeemer? And Joe said to me, I confess, accept, and invite Jesus Christ to live in my heart for ever and ever.

Josie opened the door and came in saying to me, what did you do because I heard all you taught him. I said, the Holy Spirit saved Joe (Joe accepted Jesus Christ ad his Savior) and he is ready to go to heaven. Suddenly, Josie said, I know this room has been divided and there is a man living there and perhaps he is not born again. Then I walked to his room door and knocked three times and no answer. I turned the doorknob, and the door was unlocked, so I entered and introduced myself to the gentleman.

The man was walking around his bed in pajamas, and he began to tell me, I am a Mormon, but I have read the Bible. 

never heard a man explain the Bible the way you did when you spoke to Joe in a loud voice, how a man can get to heaven. I am also born again because I repeated the same prayer with Joe.

Wow! Praise the Lord, two birds with one stone. Well, nothing is impossible with God. Joe went to heaven two days later and the Holy Spirit said to me. Joe was bound to hell, but since you are a willing and obedient vessel, he is with me now.
