My Testimony



Despite becoming a Christian when I was 13, my real transformation story began in February of 2013. 

It all started by attending weekly Saturday evening services at Wind and Fire Missions Base .

At this time, I was have 30-60 day migraines that were usually around a 8-10+ pain level and was taking 6 daily medications (along with additional meds for pain). My eyes were light sensitive, so I had to wear tinted glasses so I would not get an "eye migraine." Also, I had an oxygen tank nearby to help when I would get dizzy spells or feel nauseated from the migraines.

In addition, I was not able to walk more than 5 minutes due to foot and back pain. The lack of being able to move around and continuous headaches made me feel really sad and anxious.

In addition, I found that any time I went to any church I would become dizzy and get a level 10 migraine immediately. I always would try to make myself go to church because I know I "should," but I would often leave early because I would get so sick. I think the condemnation that I had already going around in my head continuously plus the condemnation I would feel that was coming from church heightened the level of my pain.

However, through Wind and Fire I learned that God has never had a bad thought about me. The teachings presented weekly began to pierce the darkness in my life.  I started to learn that it was not all about what I did, how successful I was, it was all about who I was in Christ. 

I also met a remarkable person named Amy who began to speak truth into my life about how I had authority in Christ and power. I had never been taught that. She told me that the Holy Spirit is not just a guide, but a true source of power. Amy told me to tell the pain to leave in the name of Jesus. She introduced me to the teachings of Curry Blake and how God really wants to heal us all. 

The headaches completely went away. Anxiety  and sadness left as I cast it out in the name of Jesus. My foot pain went away. The back was suddenly better and I am now going to Jazzercise 3-6 times a week. I never thought I would get back to Jazzercise.

I no longer take any prescription medicines. 

I no longer have any condemnation in my head. 

Each day God is refining me. 

It is amazing how free God wanted me to be!

Praise God for miracles!

Kath---An awesome story of transformation. I know that God will use this to help others who are in pain and feel they have nowhere to go. We all need the complete change in perspective that only God can provide. So often we just have it all wrong and I am so pleased that you are on this path of transformation.

Love,

James
