David J. Meyer was born in Clintonville, Wisconsin. He was born into
a family where superstition and occultism were everywhere. His
paternal grandmother and great grandmother were both practicing
witches in the old wiccan tradition.
When David was 13 years old he began his involvement with astrology,
numerology and palm reading. This continued until age 19 and he
became well-known in northern Wisconsin as a psychic astrologer.
Many mysterious events made him popular with the people in that
area.
At age 19 a friend coaxed him to attend a small church where
miracles and healing were said to happen. Being drawn first of all
by curiosity, David attended a Sunday evening service where the Holy
Ghost began to work conviction in his heart. At the end of the
service he went up to the front and fell to his knees and repented
before the Lord. The following week he was baptized in the name of
the Lord. One week later, he was baptized with the Holy Ghost. It
was an experience reminiscent of Saul of Tarsus on the Damascus
road.
After deliverance from many devils that came out from him, he
instantly began to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the streets.
While continuing his ministry, David also assisted various pastors
and completed his Associate of Arts degree at Fox Valley Technical
Institute. He also completed 10 years of service with the University
of Wisconsin system as a master locksmith in charge of physical
security. During that time he won many awards and certificates
including the highest award presented by the Governor of Wisconsin.
David also did computer programming and security systems designing
and analysis.
David J. Meyer was the pastor of Truth Tabernacle, a totally
independent Bible-believing Christian church which he founded in
1974, located in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. He was also the editor and
publisher of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, which began publication in
1981 and currently has many thousands of readers. Pastor Meyer specialized
in deliverance ministry and exposing the dangers of
the occult and secret societies. He has traveled extensively from
coast-to-coast doing research and spiritual warfare.
