The Life Calling of Cullis James Autry

In the Summer of 1970, at the age of 5 years, Lynn and Janice Autry asked the well-known Bible teacher, Derek Prince to lay his hands on their son and dedicate his life to the purposes of the Lord.  He did so and that prayer of dedication laid the foundations for what God has done in his life thus far.

Throughout his teenage years, Sue Wiatt of There Is More Ministries, would pray for James during her ministry trips throughout South Georgia.  She was gifted in receiving “words from the Lord” and she quite often spoke about the Gifts of Healing that God has placed within his life and how He was going to use his life in ministry.   

In the Summer of 1989, at the age of 24, Demos Shakarian, the founder of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International, prayed for James at the Saturday evening meeting of their USA National Convention in Nashville, TN.  He laid his hand upon James’ shoulder and asked him, “You know, the hand of the Lord is upon you?”  James responded with an affirmative nod and “Yes.”  Then Demos moved on to pray for others.  This event confirm that God was indeed moving in his life, as he had just finished his degree in Marketing from Belmont University and was waiting upon the Lord for the next major move in his life, wherein he moved to California to work for Demos at FGBMFI's World Headquarters.  

As it stands right now,  40 years after Derek Prince prayed for James, he believes that he is called to facilitate what Demos Shakarian saw by the Spirit, as Moses before the Lord, as he wrote about the future promised land, of God moving His people (Jews & Gentiles) to inherit the provision, the protection and the blessings of all that He has prepared for those that love Him and walk in His ways.
