Michael Dalton hailed from a lineage rich in spiritual leadership, continuing the legacy as the fourth generation in his family to dedicate his life to ministry. His journey into faith began at an early age, marked by a profound angelic encounter that led to his rebirth at the age of 15. Just a year later, at 16, Michael felt a divine calling to enter the ministry, setting him on a path that would influence countless lives.
In his early years, Michael devoted himself to his local church, where he cultivated his ministerial abilities and developed a deep love for God’s people. This period of dedicated service laid a robust foundation for his future endeavors. Over time, Michael grew into his role as a Prophet and Pastor at Desert Christian Community Church in Thousand Palms, California. His leadership extended beyond the pulpit, as he served on the Board of Directors for Father’s Heart Ranch, a group home dedicated to providing care and support for abused and neglected boys.
A significant turning point in Michael’s spiritual journey came through his mentorship under Apostle Larry Draughn, which lasted over three years. This mentorship deepened his understanding of his prophetic gift and the responsibilities it entailed. In 2001, following God’s direction, Michael relocated to California. Two years later, in 2003, he founded YES Ministries, a ministry committed to delivering prophetic clarity and divine breakthroughs. YES Ministries became known for miracles, signs, wonders, and healings, all grounded in sound biblical teaching.
The impact of YES Ministries under Michael’s leadership was profound, reaching over 56 nations, including Mexico, Colombia, England, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Israel, Brazil, New Zealand, Russia, and the United States. Wherever the ministry went, it left a trail of miraculous signs and transformative experiences, deeply touching the lives of those it encountered.
Michael’s passion for the Word of God was evident in his teaching style, which combined wit, wisdom, skill, and humor. His weekly program, “Wednesday in the Word,” broadcast his teachings to a global audience, enriching the spiritual lives of countless individuals. Beyond his ministerial work, Michael was a multifaceted individual: a poet, playwright, singer, songwriter, and author of several marketplace books. His expertise extended to the business world, where he acted as a consultant to government agencies, ministries, charities, and young entrepreneurs, offering guidance on leadership, stress management, communications, time management, and organizational structure.

To Michael’s family, friends and everyone within the congregational collective that had the privilege of ever knowing, meeting and/or hearing Michael preach and teach, I pray YHWH’s Spirit will bring comfort to all who experience the feeling of loss and separation from what can now not be described a Prophet of the Most High and an ambassador for YHWH’s heavenly kingdom here on earth.
Michael service to the kingdom and the positive impact he has made in my life, will forever live on, not just in memory but also through his teachings, prophecies and wise words of wisdom that he has shared. I thank our Heavenly Father for sending Michael, his angel, to minister to here on earth to so many of us who may have needed a timely and devine word from YHWH – Thank you for Michael, for your service, authenticity, humour and commitment to the call on your life. Michael, you have helped to heal, build-up and pour out into so many souls throughout the world, that I have zero doubt that you will hear the vice presidential f the father saying; Well done my son – you have been a good and faithful servant in whom I am well pleased, enter this day not the everlasting love, rest and joy that I have prepared for you in my paradise 🙏🏾💙

Will we ever know what Prophet died of? I have searched and no where is it revealed? Why is it a secret?
