I am still in tears after reading Valeries testimony. That is really awesome and I am so glad to hear she has been set free.
I believe I promised my own testimony, and I let school and family issues crowd out what I should have already done. I find myself wondering if college online is a way to keep me so busy I put God last, and if it is the case, it will stop and i can achieve what God wants me to do His way, not mine.
I come from a broken home, and raised by my grandparents who were very loving people. My life changed, for the worse when my Mom married and brought me to Texas to live with her and her husband. At the age of 12, I was molested by him, in the sleeper of his truck when Mom went into town in the pickup. This behavior continue several years as he would use threats against my Mom etc to get me to do what he wanted. Needless to say, that shot out any dreams I had at such a young age of serving God.
I am so glad He did not give up on me and sent ways of letting me know to hang on. For years I listened to Jimmy Swaggart, Kenneth Copeland etc, and went to church. Little did I know that what I was going through was also a doorway to let the demons enter, the spirits of depression, and who knows what else I had to deal with. I am glad I never turned to alcohol due to seeing what it did in my family.
I felt ugly, used, like a piece of trash to just throw away when they were finished wsith you. I married twice, the first ending in divorce after the birth of my oldest daughter, and the 2nd passed away after 15 years. I still held on to going to church to try and stay close to God, I knew he was there although I never learned the truth a that time ofa personal relationship we could have with him. After my 2nd marriage I started learned when I went to a nondenominational church for several years and really got hungry for the Word. Even then I had the demons still, and just did not know it. I do know I would try to hurt myself when I was depressed, if I had the fake nails on, I would literally scratch my face with them, or my arms.
God led me to friends who would help through those times, and eventhough they fought demons, they never seemed to pick up that may be my problem. The Lord finally sent me to another awesome church where they are anointed in this area of deliverence. After watching the movie the Passion, (it was time) twice in one week, they started manifesting at home ministry. Our group leader said he was shocked when they were praying for me and I growled, I woke up on the floor not knowing what happened until they told me. This went on for several more fridays, and on saturday I would be so wore out I would sleep all day.
One friend said she had enough and started praying, it seems a person who kept walking being me praying got one of the demons irritated, they said I foamed on that occasion. I finally went to a deliverence weekend after reading ‘Shadow Boxing.” It shows the doors that satan uses to worm his way in when we do not expect it. As I write this, I want to remain calm so I can write clear, and I am so glad to hear about Valeries deliverence. God is good and He loves us so much.
I don’t want to write a book and will write my other expriences later, I am just crying so hard and still trying to keep cool, which is hard to do.
God be with every one and I hope this helps someone else. Valerie stated how her experiences had her seeking out others, me, I turned inward and hated being touched by anyone, so being married that was somethinhg to be overcome in time.
In His Name.

Laying Hands On The Sick And They Shall Recover!

I wanted to share my personal testimony about a person being healed from my obedience! This was the first time I have ever been instructed to lay hands on someone by the Lord. I even have to say I was struggling with it because I was uncertain if I was really hearing from the Lord. I am at a place in my walk with God that I am leaning on the Holy Spirit to guide and direct my every move. That means what I do, what I say, where I go, what I blog about and he moves on me and I am learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes it can be difficult because it’s not something our human brains can really understand. It’s truly amazing and truly mysterious. At best, it’s remarkable! I know that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are real. I know that the bible says signs and wonders will follow them that believe and I have personally seen that.
I have been a true testimony to the power of God working in and through me to help others and I can see the changes take place and it’s a real blessing. But let’s be honest…..You know it’s real, you see others with the power of God and sometimes it’s so strong of people it’s mind blowing but for myself I never thought he would use me in the way he did.
One of the most remarkable things about God is that he does not play favorites….He does not like one more than the other and he will use anyone he sees fit providing that they are saved and surrendered to Jesus Christ.
Prophecy that I have put on my blog have been very thought provoking material and have many people asking me questions along with scripture to back up what is said…funny thing is some believe it and some don’t and to those who don’t I simply pray for them.
Whenever you read anything you HAVE to read the bible look it up and make sure you can line what is being said to the word of GOD! I can not stress that enough! If all of prophecy given does not line up then it’s not from God!
With that being said I am going to share with you one area of my Christian walk with God that I struggle with and let’s face it, we all have struggles but some are not willing to be transparent enough to share so that others can be blessed by it. You are not alone in your struggles.
Yes! Christians struggle as well…with many different areas of their walk with God it is very normal. But God did something so wonderful for me that I have to share this with everyone I can.
My prayer life is ok and I read the word and the Lord ALWAYS speak to me through his Word. I talk with him sometimes and share my thoughts but I have always had this thought that “Well you don’t prayer good enough and so …..” well you get the point. I mean I think in my own head well it’s gotta sound right and the words have to be right and proper but….and my worship is wonderful and that is a form of prayer well really that is a great way to pray ……but for some reason I had always struggled with those thoughts.
It came to my mind that it was not about how much I tried to perfect my prayer or the wording used, it was simply just talking to Him the way I would talk to a friend. In my own language! That was comforting to know. I would often hear others pray and real feel inadequate because I didn’t sound like them.
Really it’s not about how good you sound it’s about you being real and just saying what’s on your heart. So with that being said God really showed himself in a powerful way and I am truly blessed I will never be the same again!
Knowing that I struggled with this God did this to me to bring me out of my shell, out of my comfort zone! So in the next part of my blog I will share my testimony as to what God did in and through me to heal someone else. Stayed tunned for part 2 Be Blessed!
