STIR YOUR FAITH WITH THESE REAL LIFE TESTIMONIES, AND SEE HOW GOOD GOD IS!
Yerenia and Jarek’s Testimony
What a mighty healer we serve. My son Iyin mentioned that his arm was hurting last week during Thursday evening service. When we got home, he said he couldn’t lift it. I looked at his arm from the neck to the elbow and it was tight and swollen. He had no feeling in his wrist. We iced it and tried a pain pill overnight. The next day, the same thing happened. I went to urgent care, but nothing was broken. He was instructed to use healing scriptures to get the word in his spirit. On Sunday, we went to the ER to see what it could be. He had an MRI and labs done, but still nothing was found. On the way home, I told him “This will need your faith and a miracle from God to heal you. The doctors couldn’t figure it out”. He has been meditating on scriptures and making faith movements with his arm speaking to it. Now, it has full function and all is well. Doctors practice medicine to try or temporarily fix you, but our mighty God did a supernatural miracle for him. Complete and whole!

It's been on my heart to share something for a while, and on Thursday, your words solidified my need to express it. There are no adequate words to thank you and Pastor Mitch enough because, without your dedication and teaching, I wouldn't be living the life I currently do. I know there is more to come because there is more for me to learn and receive revelation about. I haven't "arrived"; I'm on a lifelong journey led by God, and I recognize who my shepherds are. This sheep wants to share just a bit of that journey so far:
As I sat in service on Thursday night, and you mentioned the time in my life when I left my job at the hospital and stepped out in faith, the Lord reminded me of just how far that journey has come. That was when I truly learned to live by faith. There was no regular income for roughly 18 months between leaving that old job and being hired as a full-time teacher. However, as you said, God always took care of me. My bills were paid, I didn’t starve, and I always brought something to sow. Many times it wasn’t much, but it was what I had at that time. However, one offering became a turning point when I truly let go and said, “Okay God, I’m really going to trust you.” That offering was $3.54; it was literally all I had (and I prayed that I had done my math correctly so it wouldn’t bounce. It didn’t.) From that point on, things began to happen. Did they turn around overnight? No, that’s not how it works. I kept walking by faith, stayed faithful to my pastors, my church, and my giving, which have all led me to where I am today.
It's been shared many times that when I first went to buy a house, I was laughed at. But I kept looking, and God made a way. There was a time in the first few years of my teaching career when schools faced budget cuts, and teachers were being laid off, including at my school. The way it works is it was supposed to go by seniority. Well, I was only a few years in; I should have been laid off, but my principal at the time created a position where I was the only person on campus who held the correct credential, and I kept my job while teachers with seniority over me were let go. I know that things like this wouldn’t have happened had I not given that $3.54.
We’ve been taught that when you put God first, He will see to it that you get the desires of your heart, and I’ve seen that happen over and over. If you know me, you know that I like attending certain professional sporting events and going to Disney. Some people may want a new Louis Vuitton, but I want a trip to Disney. While everyone knows I go to Disneyland several times a year, next month I’ll fulfill the lifelong desire to go to Disney World in Florida. This is a fully funded, paid-off trip that even includes nearly all of my meals. I don’t share this to boast about myself because it’s not me; it’s God being true to His Word. I share this so people know that what I am living now started with $3.54 and a commitment to stay faithful to my pastors, my church, and my sowing. This sheep knows where her wealthy place is and who her Shepherd is, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. So thank you, Pastors Mitch and Jan, for your faithfulness because, without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

God is so good! I had two big blood clots in my liver and spleen. For about two years, I had been taking blood thinners to help this, but I had been praying and declaring that God is Faithful! I had been going to the cancer clinic and seeing my blood doctor there. During one of my appointments, I noticed him looking intently at my results on his computer.
I asked him, "What's going on?"
He replied, "I can't find any blood clots."
I said, "What do you mean you can't find the blood clots?" and I began to Praise God.
He then replied, "Well, that depends."
I asked, "Depends on what?"
He asked, "Which God?"
I said, "Yeshua. Your God and My God, Jesus Christ."
He just looked at me like I was nuts and scheduled me to have an ultrasound in 3 months. He wasn't quite believing what He was seeing, but I did. I knew I was healed. In 3 months, I went to get the ultrasound, and he didn't find any blood clots then either! Hallelujah! God blesses me every day, and He is good all the time!

In mid-April, I talked with Pastor Mitch about my financial situation. I have a part-time job without a set schedule or hours. In February, I was offered a great job. It was a job that didn't have to work nights, weekends, or holidays. It also offered great benefits. However, due to training schedule issues, I have not been given a starting date. Pastor Mitch prayed the prayer of agreement with me for my new job. The Lord is so good! On May 9th, my current employer offered me an opportunity to cover a coworker's schedule for 3 months. I have been also blessed with full-time status with a set schedule and hours. Praise the Lord! I'm so thankful for what the Lord is doing. He is my shepherd, I shall not want. I'm looking forward to sharing with you all when I start my new job.

God is never late. I had bone spurs on my spine which was causing sleepless nights. I also wasn’t able to sit long, and I had a numbing of my legs. I had so many things that were going on in my body, at one of our meetings with Pastor Ike Akabogu which was on June 23, 2023. Pastor Ike prayed for my knees, and as he was finishing he said “Healing from the top of your head to the soles of your feet and your back too, your back too. Yes! In Jesus' name. I hadn’t told anyone about the bone spurs in my back. There were times when I would want to go up for prayer regarding the spurs, but I kept standing on what Pastor Ike said. I have to be honest, it was taking a toll on my body and as I was praying, I told God I needed help. I knew I was healed, but I also allowed the enemy's smoke screens to get between my manifestation. On Sunday, April 14th, Pastor Jan asked if anyone needed prayer for healing. I was standing there and telling God I know I’m healed Lord, I just need your fresh touch. When Pastor Jan laid hands on me, there was a powerful anointing that ran through my body to my back. Pastor Jan said that there were angels behind me. I remember going to the floor and when I got up, I didn’t feel the spurs. That night I slept for 6 1/2 hours straight, and I have been sleeping on my back. Praise God. Facts may be presented to us, whether it be symptoms in our body, a doctor's diagnosis, or an X-ray, but I know for sure that God’s word is truth and it trumps the facts. The fact is I walked into Sunday service with bone spurs on my spine and walked out healed. Amen! Hallelujah!

I just wanted to share a testimony. Since the beginning of January, I have had to go to the hospital because of low electrolyte deficiencies and malabsorption issues. On Wednesday night, when Pastor Mitch laid hands on me and commanded things that were missing to be made whole in my body, I instantly received it! A few weeks ago, we figured out what was causing my electrolyte levels to drop every month. The culprit was my monthly cycles. Every month since January, a total of 4 times I was needing go into the hospital to be replenished via IV fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins after having my monthly cycle. This month, I had my monthly cycle, and my levels did not drop, nor did I need to be replenished or need an IV to get me back up to health. Praise God! Hallelujah!!

I woke up Friday night with a lot of pain in my right ear. My mom prayed for me and told me I was healed and that healing belonged to me. We worshiped for a little bit before I could fall back asleep. When I woke up in the morning, there was no more Pain!

I praise God for being a part of a Full Gospel Church that believes in and teaches on healing. I recently slipped and fell onto the cement floor. The next day I was in so much pain on my bottom and my back, but I still got up and went to church.
After service, I asked my Pastor, Pastor Mitch, if he would pray for me. After he laid his hands on me, I felt the difference instantly.
I was able to stand straight and walk without any pain and I had no bruising on my body. When we come expecting, we receive what we believe. Thank you, Jesus!
Thank you, Pastor!

I went to the Doctor because it was hard for me to eat. I would try to eat a little, but I would get full and be miserable. I was rapidly losing weight that I didn’t want to. I had a test done with dye and an x-ray. It showed acid in my stomach, and I felt lots of heartburn in my chest. I asked pastor Mitch to pray for me.
I meditated and kept before my eyes Ps139:13-14, Ps118:17, and 1st Peter 2:24. I was sent to see a specialist, and that Doctor put me on medication. Two weeks later they did an endoscopy that came back normal. PRAISE GOD! Ps 89:34 He is faithful! The doctor said to decrease the medication and you will not need it anymore in a month. Thank the Lord. Also thank you, Pastor Mitch, for standing with me in prayer. To God be all the glory!!

On Thursday I realized I didn’t have my driver’s license on me. The last time I used it was about 3 weeks ago. I looked everywhere for it. At church, I’ve heard testimonies of lost items recovered by dispatching our angels or asking the Holy Spirit for help. In asking the Holy Spirit I heard through my spirit “laundry room.” I also sent my angel to look for the license. On Thursday evening, I looked through my desk (which is in the laundry room). I went out of town for a couple of days. On Monday morning, I put a few towels and small items in the washer (I shake clothes and look through pockets). I then placed my clothes in the dryer when the cycle ended. I left the room, returned, and noticed something stuck on the glass door of the dryer while the towels in the background were spinning. When I opened the door, there was my license. The picture part was facing the inside of the dryer. Thank you, God!!

I wanted to thank my pastors for the powerful message that was preached yesterday morning. Also after being healed yesterday of hip pain, I continue to confess healing over myself and my hip is getting stronger and the pain is subsiding. God is so good!!!
