The “Gladiator II” legend said it took a while to achieve the milestone in his faith journey but despite the hurdles and challenges, he was able to get baptized.

In a Facebook live video, the 69-year-old actor was presented with a certificate of baptism and a minister license which will make him be ordained in years to come.

While sharing his experience at age 20, Denzel said he had an interaction with a woman called Ruth Green who told him that he would journey across continents of the world and preach to many souls.

According to Denzel, the woman said:

“Boy, you are going to travel the world and preach to millions of people”

50 years after the encounter with Green, Denzel said the prophecy is being fulfilled.

He urged those at the verge of giving up not to, stressing that if God could do his, nothing else is difficult for Him.

50 years later, look at God. If He can do this for me, there’s nothing He can’t do for you. The sky literally is the limit and there’s no limit to the sky. “To God be the glory. Hallelujah!” he continued. “Anything I can do, I will do for this church, the Almighty. I just want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.
