my wife, Della. I know she gets a bit self-conscious when I start\ntalking about her, and she is very self-deprecating, but if ever there was a\ngift from the Lord for me, it is this counterpart -- my other self -- Della\nDenise <span class=SpellE>Capener<\/span>.<\/span><\/b><span style='font-size:\n12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",\"serif\";mso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:\"Book Antiqua\",\"serif\";\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'>Born\nsixty years ago as Della Denise <span class=SpellE>Melson<\/span> on January 1,\n1955, she was born into an <span class=SpellE>Okie<\/span> family transplanted\nto Washington State. I\u2019m not using the word in a negative sense. Her family had\nlived in Granite, Oklahoma for a couple of generations after leaving Tennessee,\nKentucky and Virginia.<br>\n<br>\nAt the age of four, Della began to have experiences of seeing angels. That same\nyear, she had a unique experience one night when the Lord Jesus Christ visited\nher. What made this particular night so different was that the Lord also\nappeared to her mother that night and said to her, \u201cI\u2019m coming to take Della\nfor myself.\u201d<\/span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",\"serif\";\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:\"Book Antiqua\",\"serif\";\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'>Her\nmother was almost panic-stricken because she interpreted what the Lord was\nsaying to her to mean that Della was going to die that night. It took some\nstruggling in her spirit before she\nreleased her daughter and said, \u201cOK,\u201d to the Lord.<br>\n<br>\nAs the Lord awakened Della, He told her to follow Him. She jumped out of bed\nand followed Him outside the house where, to her utter astonishment, she saw a\nship. Now you have to understand just how strange this sight was. There are no\nhuge rivers or lakes in the Yakima Valley in Washington such that one would\nexpect to see a ship. She couldn't quite figure out what she was seeing, and\nwhy this ship was there, but she followed the call of the Lord up the large\nfishing net hung over the side. Just before reaching the deck, the Lord turned\nto her and said, &quot;Don't forget your bottle.&quot; She remembered a glass\nbottle on the mantle of the fireplace that was her special bottle.<br>\n<br>\nAgain, the command didn't make sense, but she wasn't questioning it. She\nclimbed back down the gangplank and back into the house to get the bottle. When\nshe got back outside with the bottle, she realized the ship was getting ready\nto leave and shouted, &quot;Lord, don't leave without me!&quot; She ran for all\nshe was worth and leaped up on the hanging fish net as it was being pulled back\non the ship. Out of breath, she handed the bottle to the Lord. He thereupon\ntook the bottle and threw it as hard as he could so that it vanished in the\ndarkness. Then Jesus turned to her, took her by the hand, and said, &quot;Come\nand enter in! Now everything will be all right.&quot;<br>\n<br>\nIn the years that followed, the experience was so real that Della was never\nsure whether it actually happened or whether she had a dream. More than 20\nyears elapsed before she understood what had happened. Important foundations\nwere laid in her life that she would need in the coming years. In the years to\ncome, the Lord would remind her of the bottle -- and its significance.<\/span><span\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",\"serif\";mso-fareast-font-family:\n\"Times New Roman\"'><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:\"Book Antiqua\",\"serif\";\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'>Della\nhas no specific recollection of when it began, but she remembers being on the\nswing in the back yard during her very young years, singing in the spirit and\nspeaking in tongues as though it was the most normal thing to do. At age eight,\nin the midst of a revival at the church where the family attended, there was a\ncontroversy that erupted over speaking in tongues. When some of the adults\nheard then-eight-year-old Della speaking in tongues, it changed things\nradically and an outpouring of Holy Spirit loosed that congregation from its\nreligious bondage.<br>\n<br>\nUntil she was twelve years of age, she had several more experiences with the\nLord in which He made clear to her the fact that He would never leave her nor\nforsake her. Good thing, too, because she was about to go through a living\nnightmare that would last for some 14 years.<\/span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;\nfont-family:\"Times New Roman\",\"serif\";mso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:\"Book Antiqua\",\"serif\";\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'>In\nher early teens, Della Denise began to experience the rebellion that so many\nyoung people go through. At age fourteen, under the influence of drugs, she\nconcluded that she really didn\u2019t belong to her parents and decided to strike\nout on her own. A young man who she decided she was in love with had left for\nMissouri, so she decided to hitchhike to see him.<br>\n<br>\nBad decision.<br>\n<br>\nShe was picked up by a 25-year-old man (whom I will refer to simply as Daniel).\nHe figured things out pretty quickly and took advantage of her youth,\ninnocence, and rebellion. Using the argument that, &quot;I can't live without\nyou,&quot; and making her feel sorry for him, he compelled her to go with him\nand agree to marry him. We won\u2019t try to figure out how he pulled that one off\nwithout being seized by the Law and thrown in prison, but under threats of physical\nharm she stayed quiet and eventually settled into some semblance of married\nlife. \u201cDaniel\u201d was never prosecuted for his crimes.<br>\n<br>\nIt isn\u2019t necessary to go into the horrors of the next fourteen years, the\nabuses she suffered, the constant betrayal by \u201cDaniel\u2019s\u201d affairs with other\nwomen or his illicit drug distribution and hiding from the Law. What is\nimportant is that, at age eighteen, her youthful experiences with the Lord\nbegan to take effect. She had left Washington to move to Alaska where her\nfather was working with his construction business. In Fairbanks for a few short\nmonths, her father suddenly dropped dead one day of a heart attack. He was 47\nyears old. The loss was traumatic.<br>\n<br>\nNow the mother of a young baby girl, she began to attend a church in hopes of\nreconnecting with that same Jesus she had known as a child. It was late in 1973\nor early in 1974. Baby Shelley was very ill. She couldn\u2019t walk. Her legs were\ncrooked. She had an extreme case of colic. She came down with a fever that just\ngot worse and worse.<br>\n<br>\nDella\u2019s family doctor had told her that the baby needed to be hospitalized, but\nthey had no insurance and feared the financial impact of the doctor and\nhospital bills. Shelley\u2019s temperature continued to rise. On a Sunday morning,\nDella took the baby\u2019s temperature, and it was 106. She got dressed, got Shelley\ndressed, and took her to the church where she had begun to attend. It seemed\nlike she had to go through an army of folks who tried to slow her down, but\neventually she stood in front of the pastor with the baby in her arms. Shelley\nwas unconscious, lying limp and motionless. \u201cPastor, my baby is dying. I need\nfor you to pray for her.\u201d<br>\n<br>\nThe pastor gently took Shelley into his arms and began to rebuke the fever. He\nspoke healing as he prayed. As he held the baby, Shelley\u2019s legs straightened in\nfront of their eyes. The fever dropped instantly. She opened her eyes and\nlooked around, alert for the first time in so long Della couldn\u2019t remember. It\nwas a major turning point for Della.<\/span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;\nfont-family:\"Times New Roman\",\"serif\";mso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:\"Book Antiqua\",\"serif\";\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'>Two\nyears later, a similar event would occur with daughter number two. Danielle was\nborn stone deaf. She couldn't hear or respond to the loudest noises around her.\nWithin &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;days, Della realized that\nsomething was wrong. At Danielle's first post-natal checkup at one week old,\nDella took her to the regional audiologist for testing.<br>\n<br>\nThe reports showed no responses whatever to sounds at 120 db in her ears. For\nthose who don\u2019t understand the significance of 120 db, 108 db is classified as\n\u201cconcert level\u201d for music. 116 db is the noise of a steam locomotive. Each 3 db\nrepresents a doubling in sound pressure level. Thus, 120 db was well over twice\nthe noise level of a steam locomotive. The audiologist told Della that Danielle\nwas stone deaf, and that she\u2019d better start learning sign language immediately\nbecause that was how she was going to have to communicate with her daughter.<br>\n<br>\nThe promises of God made in her youth rang in Della\u2019s entire being. She\nabsolutely refused to accept the diagnosis and demanded additional tests. The doctor\nshook his head sympathetically saying, \u201cIt won\u2019t make any difference. However,\nyou bring her back each month, and we\u2019ll conduct more tests.\u201d The testing went\non for seven continuous months.<br>\n<br>\nAn appointed (by the Lord) day came at the seventh month, and Della brought\nfriends along because she was sure the Lord was going to heal Danielle. They\nsat down together in the testing room and the doctor placed Danielle in his\nlap. There had been absolutely no indication of any change in Danielle. Della\nwhispered to the doctor, &quot;OK, Keith! Let's do the tests in a room where\nthere is no sound whatever.&quot; Suddenly, Danielle turned and looked at her.\nThe audiologist shook his head. &quot;Can't be. This was an involuntary\nreaction -- perhaps to air movement on her face when you spoke.&quot; Della\nbegan to laugh. She knew what had happened.<br>\n<br>\nThis time, the doctor whispered very quietly in Danielle\u2019s opposite ear. She\nturned to see where the sound was coming from. Now the doctor was frustrated.\nThis just couldn\u2019t be! All of his previous tests had been run using\nstandardized testing techniques. They had proved conclusively that Danielle was\ndeaf. Again, he whispered in the other ear, and again, Danielle responded.\nDella\u2019s friends were standing on the other side of the glass watching things\nunfold, along with a couple of nurses.<br>\n<br>\nTears began to run down their faces as they realized that the Lord had healed\nDanielle right while she sat in the doctor\u2019s lap. All of the tests were re-run\nagain. This time, the results showed that her hearing was better than perfect.\nShe could hear sounds so faint the overwhelming majority of folks never hear.<br>\n<br>\nDespite the birth of two more children during the next four years, Della\u2019s\n\u201cmarriage\u201d continued to deteriorate. The abuse towards Della had never gotten\nreally physical until he made two attempts on her life. It had reached\nmonumental proportions emotionally and mentally. Unfortunately, the abuse had\nalso gotten physical with the children. She realized that if he succeeded in\nkilling her there would be no one to care for the children. Because of the\nbreakdown of the marriage, her children had become the focal point of her life.\nThe children&nbsp;<b><i>were<\/i><\/b>&nbsp;her life! A day finally came when\n\u201cDaniel\u201d agreed with Della that they needed to get a divorce and go their separate\nways.<br>\n<br>\nIt was late in 1982. I was President of the Christian Broadcasting Network of\nAlaska, as well as overseeing the development of Operation Blessing for the\nstate and <span class=SpellE>pastoring<\/span> a new fellowship in Fairbanks\ncalled The House of Praise. The CBN operations had begun to be moved from\nBarrow to Fairbanks two years earlier. Separation and divorce was in the making\nfrom my first wife who had recently left for the third time in our married\nyears. The duress from the persecution and constant threats on our lives in\nBarrow had far exceeded her breaking point, and she wanted no more of the\nministry.<\/span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",\"serif\";\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:\"Book Antiqua\",\"serif\";\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'>Have\nto say that because of the way God has led me throughout the years, I seem to\nhave always been on the edge of (or over the edge!) of controversy.

Her\nmarriage to me placed her in situations she'd never been equipped by the Lord\nto deal with.<br>\n<br>\nDella had joined the CBN operation in late 1981 and become the administrator\nfor a social services program we called Operation Blessing \u2013 Alaska. It was an\noutgrowth of the program Pat Robertson had begun in Virginia Beach, Virginia\nwith the national CBN ministry. Over the span of a couple years, Della had\nbecome my closest confidant and the best friend I\u2019d ever had in my life. I\nremember sitting in an Aglow prayer meeting and watching her responses to the\nconcerns of women, and seeing the depth of spiritual wisdom God had built in\nher. I trusted that -- and do to this day!<br>\n<br>\nOne day, she brought her four children to me and asked me to pray over them.\nWhile I was praying for them, the Lord spoke to me and said, &quot;I'm going to\ngive these children to you, and I want you to be a father to them.&quot; That\nwas different!

It isn\u2019t necessary to get into the\ndevelopments that led to our marriage.
