Noel Fuller’s Testimony

I grew up in Greenville, South Carolina as the youngest of three boys. My father was a career military man and he established the guidelines of discipline, hard work and integrity for our family. I was required to answer the phone, “Colonel Fuller’s residence, Noel Fuller speaking”, so for someone with a stuttering problem, that led to a few hang ups and many tears. I had ADHD big time, but back then they called it “Day Dreaming” and as a 6th grader who couldn’t skip or do jumping jacks, my brothers considered me a “Basket Case”. However, the Lord often uses basket cases for His glory.

Encouragement from my Mom, athletic coaches, and hard work turned that around, and I finished college and dental school with numerous awards in 1973. I was stationed with the 3rd Marine Division in San Diego and it was there that I rationalized party drugs as part of my lifestyle. Unknown to me, they began to control my life. In 1980 I moved to Rock Hill, South Carolina, to establish my dental office and I really thought that if I could make enough money, buy the right toys, and know the right people, I would be happy – please notice all the “I’s”.

Even though drugs were still a major part of my life, I considered myself a Christian. I went to church occasionally, especially Easter and Christmas, gave some money in the offering, and I tried to be good and caring toward others. I really thought if my goodness outweighed the bad, I would go to Heaven when I died. Looking back, I can see how the Lord had been working in my heart for years to draw me to His Word. But being spiritually dead, I could not comprehend the Good News available to me.

I didn’t understand the Bible and didn’t really enjoy reading it but, somehow, I continued to be drawn back to it. Now I realize that it was the Holy Spirit that kept drawing me back to its pages. This was happening during the lowest time in my life, as my wife had walked out of our brief marriage, my dental practice was struggling financially, and I knew that I was deeply addicted to marijuana.

Unexpectedly, a friend came by one evening and shared with me the reality of Jesus as Lord, and of the truth the Gospel offers us. He clearly presented truth of “good news” to me, but it was met with my refusal to pray and receive Christ into my life. The concept of confessing, rather than hiding my sin, was foreign to me, and I didn’t believe that I needed Jesus as my Lord — after all, I thought He was dead. I wanted to be in charge of My Own Life, and asking Jesus to be Lord of “every aspect” of my life seemed ridiculous, because I had been brainwashed by the humanistic teaching of me, myself, and I.

After that evening I was hounded by the verse, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except by Me.” I continued to struggle through that night, because I thought the only way to please God, once He became Lord of my life, was to become a preacher or missionary. Fortunately, Jesus had His own plans for my life, and He can break down any and all barriers whenever He chooses. I was soon to find out that “Jesus is Lord” was not just a meaningless phrase.

The following morning, on December 20, 1980, I rolled out of bed early and asked Christ Jesus to forgive my many sins and take complete charge of my life. This is perhaps why the early morning hours are to this day so special to me, as I really enjoy “awakening the dawn” and “knowing that Jesus is Lord and God of my life”.

From that morning until now, I could fill page after page of Divine intervention in my life. I am continuing on a lifetime quest for the deeper truths of the Bible, because the Word of God is truly a miraculous venture. Just a few days after receiving Christ, I experienced His peace that truly transcends human comprehension as His supernatural calm came over me.

Shortly thereafter, I received a phone call that began my financial turnaround. The call was from my realtor saying he had a “cash buyer” for my house in Charleston, South Carolina. For several months this house was driving me deeper and deeper into debt. Month after month there was no interest to either rent or purchase the home. Now, the Lord was providing a closing, before year end, which would immediately provide relief from a heavy financial burden.

In addition, I began getting referrals from dentists that I hadn’t even called, much less taken out to lunch. Christmas is classically a slow time of the year for dentistry, but it isn’t when the Lord is working to make Himself clearly known. The additional business from unexpected referrals made that week of Christmas my busiest in three months. But the Lord, in His grace, didn’t stop there.

On New Year’s Eve, I arrived late at “the big party”, because of a dental emergency. As soon as I walked into the house, I heard the Holy Spirit speaking to me in His still quiet voice prompting me to leave immediately. It had not taken me long to find the wrong crowd in Rock Hill and my “supposed friends” were dragging me further down the wrong road of “high pleasures”. That evening I told my friend George how I had asked Jesus to take charge of my life, and that I was going to bring the New Year in by reading my Bible. That act of obedience ended a six year marijuana habit, for by the power of the Holy Spirit l was able to say “NO” to something I liked. My quest to know Him more intimately had begun.

The Lord brought my beautiful Pam, with her gift of mercy, into the picture, and we have 2 sons, now men, who have been a major blessing in our lives. To date, it has been an amazing journey, with the Lord in charge, as we have been challenged and strengthened in our faith over and again. I now consider “my dental practice” His Mission Field, and I have personally witnessed the miraculous power of the Lord on several occasions and watched, as He has provided needs in impossible situations.

I have been privileged to take over 35 different short term missionary trips since knowing my Lord. My family has traveled with me on several trips, and now we are working to involve other dentists in foreign missions through a non-profit ministry, approved by the IRS in 2006. This effort has been heavily opposed by the kingdom of darkness but Christ’s light continues to prevail over all of Satan’s opposition. I have learned that fervent prayer is the essential ingredient for any venture in life, and I am excited to see what God will do over the years to come.

Would you like to experience the truth of the “Good News”? Would you like to ask Jesus, who is alive and well, to take charge of your life and enable you to see the reality of the Kingdom of Light? If you do not KNOW Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of your life, you can. It is my prayer that the Holy Spirit will make your need for Him a reality to you. Please feel free to call me if you like. I would encourage you to read “aloud” carefully the gospel of John first, asking God to open your ears.

Thank you,
Noel
