At the time he hit puberty, Albert Milton anticipated he would be like most other boys his age living in India. He believed his voice would change and that his life would go on as he expected.
When that didn’t happen, people made fun of him every day, and being raised in a Christian home, it felt like he was under spiritual attack. As time went by, his voice did not change into a manly one like the rest of his friends, and he spoke with what he called a “feeble” or “female” voice.
At 13, it was a difficult situation to handle, and the confusion led to some ungodly and unholy thoughts.
“There were a couple of times where I decided to end my life,” shares Milton, now an author and a prophet bringing words of encouragement and edification to America. “I even attempted it, but God delivered me from those two attempts. That was the lifestyle I was living.
“So, I decided that I’m going to be quiet, just to listen. And for five years, literally, I spoke very little because I knew if I spoke, people would make fun of me. So, I stayed silent and pretended as [though] I cannot speak. I had no true friends.”
But then something dramatic happened when he began to watch American television that was being shown in India.
“I saw a lot of miracles, signs and wonders; live on these channels in mass crusades. This was during the time they were rebroadcasting Billy Graham videos. I was watching a lot of healing and miracle workers who operated in the faith and released faith and healing in people. As I was seeing that, it truly inspired me. If these miracles were happening to other people, why couldn’t it not happen in my life?
“I went to doctors, I was taking medicines and nothing could heal me. But then I came to a point where God introduced me to those channels, and I was seeing all of the miracles happen. But it still didn’t happen. But then that was when one of my friends told me to read the Bible and that I would find the answer there. So I started reading the book of Matthew and saw a lot of miracles recorded there. And I was really paying attention.
“The thing that caught my attention was when Jesus asked, ‘Do you believe I can do this for you?’ So, everyone who said ‘yes’ to that, God did that miracle. God did that healing. He did the supernatural. So, I started to say that at the age of 18, I’m going to believe that the Lord is going to bring a supernatural turnaround and heal my voice.”
Then the miracle happened. While in college, Milton was on a bus and he heard a friend call him by name. He responded with a manly voice, and all of a sudden, after five years of “agony, pain and persecution”—bullying, shame and two attempts to end his life, he was delivered.
“I told my friend that Jesus healed me. And I stepped out of the bus with the exact prayer request I asked Jesus for,” Milton says. “And this is what God told me: ‘If you’re persistent and fervent in faith, I’m able to meet your need according to My riches.’ So then I got connected to a church, I got baptized and I was Spirit-filled.
In 2001, a woman from Milton’s church told him that God would take Milton to a different nation and that He would use Milton for His glory. Milton was thrilled for the plan God had for his life.
Milton finished college in 2005, and he came to the United States in 2007. That is when his ministry began to take off.
“God is faithful,” Milton said. “He slowly started to use me and then He started to use the faith-related videos that I had been releasing for like 12 years. But the last three years, God gave me unconditional passion for this nation and a love for the nation. He wanted me to pray for the nation and to see what He wants to do here. And that’s revival. God wants to do revival in this nation; He wants to bring salvation to this nation. He wants to prosper this nation and to see the church thrive in this nation with the prophetic anointing and the gift of deliverance.
“That’s where the enemy is really trembling. He’s really afraid. If revival brakes out, if many people come out of darkness, then what’s he going to do? That’s why he is struggling with this battle. God has given me a passion to stand firm. God is faithful, He’s very good, and, He’s going to amazing things in this nation, in all areas of life.”
Once without a voice, Milton is using the one that God faithfully blessed him with, a prophetic one, and he is impacting this nation with the words that God has given him.
