Delivered Into a Renewed Mind: A Testimony of God’s Faithfulness

The Lord is my Redeemer, my Deliverer, and my God, and He has delivered me from all my afflictions.

I have been a believer for many years, but I realized that my mind needed renewal. Although I knew I was a new creation, I had not fully renewed my mind, and that old way of thinking affected many of my choices.

Through prayer, fasting, and receiving a word from God, I knew in my heart that He would do what He promised. When the time came, God followed through. I simply stood on His Word. Without me saying anything, the Lord even moved upon my leadership and members of Shammah to pray for me.

This experience changed me. God broke the lies I had believed—that I was unwanted, unloved, or without purpose—and brought me into the truth of who I am in Christ.

Today, I no longer question my life or my purpose. I now think with a renewed mind and live from my identity as a child of God. I walk in peace that surpasses all understanding.

This testimony is to show that even when we are not faithful, God remains faithful.
 There is no better place to be than with Him.

To God be all the glory

Standing on God’s Word Through the Storm: A Testimony of Healing and Trust

I thank God for His faithfulness, His healing power, and His Word that never fails. I also thank God for this ministry and its leadership for allowing the Lord to use them mightily and for giving me this opportunity to share my testimony.

I honor the Lord today.

This year, for the first time in my life, I faced a prolonged health challenge that affected my body and tested my faith. But I stood on the Word of God that says, “By His stripes I am healed,” and that He took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. I refused to let my situation speak louder than God’s promises.

The Lord spoke a word of healing and fruitfulness over my womb, and I received it by faith. God intervened by giving me peace, direction, and strength, and He began a healing work in my body that no doctor’s report or circumstance could stop.

This experience changed me. It taught me to trust God completely—even while waiting for the full manifestation. I learned to rest in God and stand firm on His Word, even when I could still see the evidence.

Today, I am strengthened, restored, and at peace. I no longer fear what my body says; I believe what God says about me, and I rest in the finished work of Christ. I walk in faith, knowing that God is still perfecting everything that concerns me.

If God did it for me, He can do it for you, because He is no respecter of persons.

To God be all the Glory

Beloved Before Performance: A Testimony of Rest in God’s Love

I testify that God has been good to me this year, and I thank Him for the revelation of His unconditional love that has freed me from performance, perfectionism, and the torment of never feeling good enough.

I struggled with believing that I was truly loved or accepted by God, living my life trying to earn His approval—a wound that originated in my childhood. Whenever I did not measure up to my own standards of perfection, I doubted God’s love for me and condemned myself, believing the lie that God was measuring me by my works. I lived with the fear that I had to try harder to be accepted or I would lose Him.

At the start of this year, during our January consecration, I began engaging with daily devotionals on God’s unconditional love. During one of those devotionals, I encountered God, who showed me to anchor myself in His love and stop relying on my own works. That moment brought healing, and as the year continued, the Lord faithfully exposed the areas where I was still striving. 

Through the teaching and inner healing during the consecration—especially the revelation of being beloved before performance—the Lord healed my heart from shame, unworthiness, and the need to earn acceptance from Him or anyone else.

This experience changed me by helping me truly accept that I belong to God and His family. I no longer strive to earn God’s approval or live under condemnation when I fall short. 

Now I live in peace, resting in His grace and responding to life with confidence in His love. It has also freed me from seeking acceptance from others and from the insecurities I once carried about my worth and identity.

Today, I am walking securely in God’s love, free from shame, and at peace in my relationship with Him. 

God is faithful. If He did it for me, He can do it for you. To God be all the glory.

From Bitterness to Freedom: A Testimony of Forgiveness and Healing)

I thank God for His unconditional love and grace toward me, that He would not leave me in the same condition in which He met me.

For many years, I was struggling with deep bitterness and resentment that I carried in my heart.

My silent deep bitterness and resentment had open doors causing me to propel down a  destructive path. 

Through the teaching on offence and forgiveness, the Holy Spirit revealed where I was holding onto unforgiveness. Though it was a challenge to let go, He strongly convicted my heart and showed me that while Christ had forgiven me completely, I was refusing to forgive another who I felt committed an unpardonable sin. Finally, In  surrender and obedience, I committed the situation to prayer and followed the leading of the Holy Spirit to forgive. 

This experience changed me. I learned not only to truly forgive but to express sincere love and understanding. I experienced such joy in my heart. Trusting God has become so much easier. 

Saints of God today, I walk in peace and freedom in Christ. I am no longer a prisoner to bitterness and resentment.

God is faithful, and He truly makes all the difference.
To God be all the glory.

From Orphan to Son: A Testimony of Rest in the Father’s Love)

Father, I give You all the honor, all the glory, and all the praise. You truly are a good, good Father.

For many years, I struggled to fully understand and live from my new identity in Christ. I was driven by emotions, seeking approval, striving to perform, and fearing that I could lose God’s love if I failed.

This year, through prayer, daily devotion, fellowship, and serving, the Lord opened my heart to truth—showing me who He is and who He says I am. His truth became inescapable, and it settled my heart.

This experience changed me. I no longer approach God as an orphan striving for approval, but as a ‘son’ who is already loved. The fear of abandonment has been replaced with assurance, and I now live from His love instead of trying to earn it.

Today, I walk in security, peace, and confidence in my identity in Christ.

God is faithful, and His love is available to all who will receive it.
 To Him be all the glory and praise.

Testimony of Healing

“I just want to give all glory and honor to God, my Healer and Deliverer.

Two weeks ago since writing this testimony the doctor told me I had three fibroids. One was 6.4 cm, another was 6.1, and the other was 4.9 cm. At that moment, instead of accepting fear, I started praying. I came against the bad report and surrendered everything to the Lord.

God led me to make a complete lifestyle change. I committed myself to prayer, fasting, juicing, drinking more water, and using natural remedies. Every day, I declared His promises of healing over my life. Even when I was bleeding heavily and passing clots, I kept thanking God, knowing He was working inside of me.

And today, I can say with joy that the fibroids are shrinking! The doctor said she don’t believe that in 2 weeks it would but I said no my God is the great physician and I know I am healed because he said so.  What was once 6.4 cm is now 5.3, what was 6.1 is now 3.1, and what was 4.9 is now 2.7. Hallelujah! That’s proof that God is moving in my body.

They also said my womb lining is still thick and I have a small cyst, but I know the process isn’t finished yet. I am confident that the One who began this good work in me will bring it to completion. My womb is healed, my body is restored, and my life will be a testimony of God’s goodness.

I am living proof that Jesus Christ still heals today. To Him be all the glory, honor, and praise.

God Restored My Voice: A Testimony of Healing and Freedom

I give thanks to God—my Awesome God, the Creator of heaven and earth, the Everlasting Father—whose power never changes and who never fails.

For many years, I lived with the effects of repeated childhood silencing, which led me to form an inner vow not to speak. That vow followed me into adulthood and affected my confidence and my ability to use my voice freely.

Through the Word of God and the teaching I received, the Lord revealed this hidden lie I had believed about myself. In His mercy, God intervened. He healed the wound connected to that vow, broke the lie, and restored my voice.

Today, I am no longer held captive by fear. I now speak with confidence and connect with others more freely, because the Lord has healed me. As Ecclesiastes 3:7 declares, “There is a time to keep silent and a time to speak,” and I have embraced my time to speak.

If God restored my voice, He can restore yours—and He can restore any situation you bring before Him.

So I give all honour, glory, praise, and thanks to the Lord my God, who has restored my voice to speak His Word and to walk fully in all He has called me to do.

God Met Me and Began Healing My Heart: A Testimony of Gentle Restoration and Renewed Openness to God

I give thanks to God for His love, His faithfulness, and for the way He met me so personally during the ministry on Saturday.

For a long time, I carried hidden pain that affected my willingness to be fully available to God and His work. I didn’t realize how much it had shaped my heart and my responses.

During a ministry session, God created an atmosphere where He gently touched that place in me. What blessed me most is that the healing didn’t stop there. Throughout the week, the Lord has continued to walk with me, helping me process, heal, and find freedom.

This experience has changed me. I am allowing God to heal my heart and restore areas I had closed off, and I feel His peace and presence with me daily.

Today, I am grateful, encouraged, and open to what God wants to do in and through my life.

To God be all the glory.

Praying from a Place of Victory: A Testimony of Faith and Healing

Today, I give God all the glory and praise for the transformation He has done in my life.

A few weeks ago, I received an overseas call that my niece’s husband had suddenly fallen seriously ill and was hospitalized in a very alarming condition. Fear and panic surrounded the situation.

But instead of responding in fear, I remained calm because of the transformation God has been doing in me. As I prayed with her, I took my position in Christ and stood from a place of victory. I took authority over the spirit of infirmity and stood firmly on God’s Word.

Though the reports were unclear and the doctors could not find a cause, I continued to stand on Matthew 8:17, believing that Jesus took all infirmity upon Himself.

This experience changed me. I saw the fruit of knowing who I am in Christ and praying from my spiritual position, not as a beggar, but as a child of God.

Today, he has made a full recovery—walking, driving, caring for his home—and every test came back normal. I also thank my Shammah family for standing with us in prayer.

God is faithful.
 To Him be all the glory, honor, and praise.

The Final Cut

Sometime in mid-October 2025, divorce summons were delivered to my home by an official of the Family Court. I received the documents with a bright smile, but when I returned inside, a deep sadness overwhelmed me. It felt as though I had just received news of the death of a loved one.

In the days that followed, my mind was flooded with questions. What will happen now? How will my son and I make it? This is not what you longed for. Why aren’t you happy? You finally got what you wanted. Are you still holding on? I felt torn—caught between joy and sorrow—and I could not understand how both could exist at the same time.

I went before the Lord and poured my heart out to Him, telling Him how stuck I felt and how conflicted my emotions were. Then I heard His voice—gentle, yet firm—ask me a question that pierced my heart:
“Will thou be made whole?”

My immediate response was disbelief. Lord, is that You? Surely You would not ask me such a thing. I believed nothing was wrong with me. I began replaying all the situations that should have broken me, yet I was still standing.

Then came silence.

That silence was unbearable. I intensified my seeking—more prayer, more worship—but still, nothing. One day, while reading the daily devotion Unmasking the Real You by Apostle Janice James, everything shifted. What I had called strength was exposed. I saw that beneath the surface were dry, gaping wounds hidden deep within my heart. When the eyes of my understanding were opened, I wept—not out of emotionalism, but out of truth.

In that place of brokenness, I surrendered fully to the work of the Holy Spirit. My heart intentions were exposed. Beneath the love I professed for my spouse were roots of rejection, fear, and deep hurt. I realized then that this final cut was not about my husband—it was about me.

God was not only addressing my choices, but the mindset and heart posture from which those choices were made. As I repented and wept, a phrase echoed in my spirit: “The Balm of Gilead.”
I found it in Jeremiah 8:22:
“Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?”

My eyes were opened—it was time to heal.

Jesus revealed to me that the sadness and depression I was experiencing were the effects of the final cut of divorce. When two people joined in marriage are separated, there is pain—a cutting that causes the heart to leak precious substances such as faith, hope, peace, vision, and stability. But He showed me that I did not have to bear this pain, because He bore it for me on the cross.

This final cut was not only about separation—it was about the circumcision of my heart, the cutting away of the works of the flesh.

As I continued reading the word through these devotionals by Apostle Janice James—True Identity; My Position and My Authority in Christ—they became a lifeline. For every worrisome thought, there was a balm—comfort and assurance from the Word.

I asked the Lord, “I have been known as Natasha Guy for twenty-two years. How do I cope with now being Natasha Grimes?”

The balm was applied through 2 Corinthians 5:17:
“Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

I came to understand that being a new creature is not a one-time experience. As my mind is renewed daily by God’s Word, I am made new continuously. I would never again be the same person I was before marriage or during marriage. I discovered that I am forgiven. My heart was circumcised, and I was delivered from rejection, fear, hurt, and the mindsets attached to them.

I am free.

Through this journey, I now know God as my Husband and Redeemer; my Breaker, who goes before me; my Provider and Shepherd; my Healer, touched by every infirmity; and my Beloved, whose banner over me is love. I no longer measure my worth by a name or a status. My confidence as a woman is anchored in His unfailing love.

Finding my true identity has empowered me—I do not carry the stigma of “divorcee” or “single parent.” It has given me hope—I believe the quality of life God promised is still attainable. And it has established me in love—I know I am chosen, wanted, and deeply loved by God.

My testimony is not a story of defeat, but of encounter.

Jesus met me on the road I had turned into my Damascus, and His grace is making me what I am becoming. On Tuesday, 6th January 2026, I stood before the court—not as a victim, not as a woman scorned—but as Natasha Grimes, in Christ, a witness of my risen Lord and Savior.

I am no longer in that place of pain.
I am in my Bethesda—the place of mercy and healing.

All praise and honour to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It is finished.

A Testimony of seeing God’s promise come to pass

I give God all the glory for His faithfulness in my life. A few months ago, a prophetic word was spoken over me, declaring that I would receive a new and better opportunity.

During the waiting period, as I prayed and sought the Lord, there were moments when I felt like giving up. I doubted myself and questioned whether I was truly qualified. Yet, I held on to the word spoken and to God’s promise that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Even when my heart wavered, I chose to trust God’s timing and His plan.

Through prayer, perseverance, and faith, what was prophesied became my reality. The Lord brought the word to pass, and today I testify that I have received a new and better opportunity. This journey has strengthened my faith and taught me to trust God fully, even in seasons of uncertainty.

Today, I walk forward confident in God’s faithfulness, knowing that He truly is my strength and my shield. To God be all the glory, honor, and praise. Amen. 🙏🏾

A Testimony of Divine Alignment By Jeremy

I give God thanks for His faithfulness and for the way He orders the steps of our lives with precision and purpose.

I want to testify about how God moves—not loudly, but accurately. On an ordinary workday, I was unexpectedly asked to change my lunch hour from its usual time to an earlier one. This had never happened before and did not happen again. I agreed without understanding why.

What I later realized was that this simple change placed me in the exact moment God had ordained. Had my schedule not been altered, I would have been elsewhere and would not have crossed paths with the person God had purposed to connect with my life.

During that same moment, I witnessed an unmistakable sign that something had shifted. It was not fear or imagination, but a clear awareness that God was at work beyond what I could see or explain. Shortly after, I met the woman who would later become my wife.

I prayed and asked the Father for confirmation that this encounter was His doing, and He answered clearly. Over time, as our lives unfolded and our family was established, I came to understand what God had done that day.

This experience changed me. I now recognize that nothing in my life is accidental. God aligns timing, movement, and people according to His purpose, and even the smallest adjustments are significant when He is at work. I no longer view interruptions or changes as inconveniences, but as possible points of divine alignment.

Today, I walk with greater trust and confidence, knowing that the Lord orders my steps and that His plans are intentional and sure.

I submit this testimony to glorify God and to encourage others to trust His leading, even when they do not yet understand what He is doing.
