What issues were you dealing with? Be specific.
I struggled with depression, loneliness and suicidal thoughts throughout my life. It felt like the more I leaned on God it got better (felt temporary), I did not feel strong enough to beat those thoughts and feelings, it would come back 10 times stronger.

What issues were you dealing with? Be specific.
PTSD, depression, hearing voices, nightmares, low self esteem, family miscommunications, uncontrollable crying, panic attacks, suicide, moderate drug dependency, digestive issues.
How where they affecting you?
I didn’t really feel normal or happy. I had a “regular” life, but it didn’t feel that way. I felt like I was living a life for a very critical audience of judges. I rarely felt any joy, or peace. I just hoped that I would die peacefully some night, and just be done with everything. Heavy, and exhausted, guilty for no reason, unloved. I was suicidal, even stating, at least 14-30 times a day, “I just want to kill myself”, or “I just want to die”. I’ve been through years of therapy as well, but This deliverance seminar has helped me 100 fold more.
What changes have you seen?
I feel lighter. I used to feel punished and afraid, fearing bad things. I felt suspicious and judged always. Now I feel normal. I feel hopeful. I feel more thankful, and less guilty or shameful. I smile more often, and my bad moments pass quickly. The rain cloud lifted, and my doubts are fleeting, and not pressing. I still have memories that make me feel afraid but they no longer control my emotions and dictate my life. I have gained a better discernment of spirits in my life, and thoughts and i can see them at work in my family and friends, and can pray more decisively. My prayers have grown more bold, and my faith is deeper than ever. My nightmares have ceased.

I am a believer, but I was skeptical. Just trust. Let go, be vulnerable like a child, and hope and believe. The prayer warriors there WILL help you. While in the deliverance I felt a bit of doubt, and began praying, and i heard the holy spirit tell me briefly to look around at the room, and for a second, I saw massive Angels standing side by side all around the walls with their wings touching together like a cathedral roof. In between each aisle I also saw large Angels walking around the room grabbing demons, which came out if people like little whisps of smoke, under their breath, in quiet little hisses. The Angels gradded them calmly and silently, casting them away. I cant stop testifying what I saw. I knew then that this whole thing was something real, and that God’s spirit was there, and arranged all of this for us, through the above and beyond team. Dont feel embarrassed or silly, The prayer warriors and counselors really have dealt with this enough to know what to do and there really ARE Angels there working, even if you dont see anything or feel anything immediately. Dont worry, your situation is not too weird, or too mundane. You’re not weak, it wont be silly, or weird or ineffective. Whatever is hindering you, go in spite of that feeling. You will be surprised. Even if you are really active in your church, or you’re a pastor, and read scripture daily. You might have a stronghold in your life, that you need others gathered together in prayer to help you with. Even the apostles had to encourage each other and the growing church. This is no different. The bible speaks of scrolls being opened and seals being broken in revelations. Could this be in the form of new understanding, and teaching? I believe so. You will get a new perspective and gain better understanding of the authority you have been given through Jesus, over the demonic strongholds that may be in your life and church and your ministry. If anything, it will give you a testimony of God’s spirit.
I am an evangelist with a weekly open air ministry for homeless people and my ministry has grown momentum. You might solve issues you never imagined existed. I used to believe that I was just a depressed person, After struggling with sadness since I was a child. I dont feel that way anymore. I also dont hear the same voices of judgement in my head anymore. My perspective and perception of God has even changed. My reactions to people has changed as well (for better).

I went to your deliverance session almost 3 years ago. I thought I was going there to save my marriage but God Had other plans. I went through the deliverance class alone . It was hard but I know that God was with me. Your deliverance class was necessary and a pivotal point in my life because it gave me the strength to except the fact that I had to divorce this person with the help of Hardy Lehmann, PLLC – divorce lawyers. I wanted to serve the Lord and he wanted nothing to do with the Lord. And other reasons like he was very Emotionally and verbally abusive. I came to find out later that he had a spirit of narcissism. Well fast forward three years ago I am set free from that relationship and God opened the door For me to start a single mom’s women’s group 😊 So thank you for your deliverance class because there is power in the Holy Spirit to set us free from wrong relationships.
How where they affecting you?
It was affecting me emotionally. Would go in and out of depression and I felt like I was in a hamster wheel.
What changes have you seen?
This deliverance class gave me the strength to move forward and to God’s plan for my life and leave fear behind

God is able to do the impossible in your life and set you free from self limiting beliefs That may have been with us since childhood. When you allow the power of the Holy Spirit to do a work in your life he will do it God’s Word says whom the son sets free is free indeed .
