Twenty-four people set aside one of the first weekends in the new year to give God space in their lives, for Him to work.  Forgiveness, deliverance, healing, revelation of truths, lies exposed, and sins forgiven were all experienced.  Whom the Son sets free, he is free indeed! John 8:36

Following are some of the testimonies of this powerful weekend...

I decided to follow Jesus and accept Him in my heart.   

Before my encounter, I felt that I wasn't wanted by God and I was controlled by my brain. I was convinced I was unloveable and that my family was disappointed in me. I was effecting others around me by always being depressed and not wanting to be around them. My rock bottom was when I was living with my abusive ex and always had to be high and drinking. I am now convinced I am loved and wanted and that my family is there for me. One of the biggest surprises through the process was, I was controlled by sin more than I thought. My mental health has had a dramtic change. I no longer feel my anxieties. As a result I came to realize God has unconditional love for me.    

I noticed I was slipping away from God , so I thought, constantly having doubt and doubt about myself and my journey with God. I longed for freedom, believing lies about myself and I was nagged by unforgiveness. I realized I wasn't allowing God to have full control and not trusting God to the fullest. Thinking about my future, I kept believing that I was never going to be where God wants me to be. I was constantly stressed and not be present with people that needed me. I also realized I was holding unto unforgiveness and I kept picking things back up that I had in the past given to God. Saturday, in getting prayer at the end I felt the Holy Spirit from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, God reminded me I am free. I am redeemed. And I can thank God for never leaving me and knowing and trusting God is love and always by my side.        

I forgave my alcholic, drug addict husband. I was holding unto unforgiveness for years even after he died. I realized I was not letting it go, it was showing up in my dreams.   I forgave and  prayed that in some way my husband knows. I feel free.

I carried around regrets about my past. I was freed from that this weekend. I have forgiven people. God has forgiven me and it is time to move forward!

I received many revelations this weekend. I got a deeper revelation of Father God's love for me. He shot off fireworks over me.  I am His daughter. I am loved. He will never leave me.   Forgiveness has always been hard for me. Blessing people who you have forgiven, I never thought of that, and when I said the prayer, freedom came.  Lastly, I learned to take every thought captive-even all my negative self-talk!

Even though I was distracted most of the weekend, I encountered prayer at the end and the Holy Spirit came in power and my prayer language got renewed.   A Heavy burden was lifted!

I have had a heavy trial that I have been in for years.  I have not been sleeping, my mind always going, and just a heaviness.  Forgiveness was key to my encounter. I relinquished all to God at the cross. And I got out of the way and let God deal with it all.  Forgiveness, was for me to place a great amount of trust in God, my Father, more than I have ever before. It's time to move forward with Holy Spirit!

Going through a lot of anxiety and abandonment issues. I realized I have been trying to fill the feelings on my own.  When I put it all down on the yellow paper and threw it into the fire, I got relief.  I felt freedom!

In my relationships I realized how much I needed to stop leaning on my own understanding and fully trust God. I had to surrender my expectations, my fear and my desire to control outcomes. When I placed my relationships in God’s hands, He brought clarity, peace and confirmation that His plans are always better than mine.

ALL GLORY TO GOD!
