In 2008, he attended The School of the Holy Spirit “Hearing the Voice of God” and began training and operating in his prophetic mantle and ministering with the prophetic and deliverance ministry team of the church. Recognized as a worshipper, Bishop Miles guided and stirred up this gift in him. As a result, Pastor Isaac birthed the Male Praise Expressionists ministry which continues to minister in DE churches today.
