Who Am I?

Tom Panich is a graduate of Norvel Haye's New Life Bible College (based in Cleveland, TN) and has also completed a prophetic school affiliated with one of Bill Hamon’s protégé’s. Tom’s walk with the Lord was birthed through a thrust into solo street evangelism when his partner didn’t show up to hand out tracks with him at a local mall entrance. Shortly after returning to the Lord, he began playing drums for various worship teams in a variety of churches.

In 2007 at the Albany, OR Vineyard Christian Fellowship, during “The Fusion Experience,” Dr. Mark Chironna said, “Is there a drummer in the house? If someone is anointed to play the drums, get up here right now!” Knowing he was being called once again, Tom got up and played drums for God’s prophet. Many of Tom’s worship times have been in support of various prophets.

The bible says in Romans 1:11, “For I long to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, for the establishing of you.”

In 2003, Tom received a strong prophetic word from a Pastor that had edited books for Brother Hagin, Sr. The prophetic word given by the Spirit of the Lord was, “Show Tom his life's work - something he can put his name on. Only the work of the Lord, only the work of the Lord, only the work of the Lord!" the prophetess cried. Shortly after receiving this prophetic word, the Lord began speaking to Tom about making anointing oil. (Exodus 37:29)

He had been blending fragrances for several years when one day while he was in the shower, what seemed like a lightning bolt from God's Glory came down upon him and the voice of the Holy Spirit began to speak to him about what to call His oil. Tom was caught up in a stream of God's manifest Glory. He began to tremble vigorously under the power of the Lord. After the shaking stopped, excitedly, he ran into the kitchen to tell his wife that the Spirit of the Lord had given him the name of His anointing oil - "Third Heaven Vision."

This same oil has now been sold on “The Elijah List” web-store for nearly 6 years, and is currently available for purchase on their site (as well as directly from Tom).  

Tom is a survivor of the rock and roll, sex and drugs scene of the 70’s thru the mid 90’s. He was a drummer for nearly 30 years before Jesus rescued him after an extreme overdose on drugs. While in an asylum, recovering from the drugs, he began to read about the devil being kicked out of heaven. A prophet once said, "God will often redeem that thing which you did for the spirit of the world and anoint it for His work. As a result, the Lord has called, anointed and positioned him as a songwriter and a prophetic, warring drummer for God's Glory in His Kingdom.

In October 2004, Tom produced his first solo drum CD entitled “War Drums.”  The CD has an international flavor and is embraced by prophetic intercessors for celebration, drum training and war unto the Lord’s work. There will be another intercessory drum CD released in 2009 called “More Drums.”  Tom released his own first worship CD in December 2008. This CD is entitled "Songs From God."

Production of a DVD this spring which displays a new but old model of worship is in the wings. Tom has taught on this type of worship in a prophetic school, at spiritual warfare conferences, and at a Feast of Tabernacles in Portland, OR. He is available in the ministry of music through drums, prophetic song or to teach at your request.

The Bible speaks of being instant in and out of season. Forerunners inhabit the nature of God that stirs the body, so your out-of-season reality may be someone else’s in-time-revelation in God. Be stirred.

“For which cause I remind you to fan the flame of the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.” 2 Timothy 1:6
