Taiwan Followup Report

Monday, June 13th, 2011

God showed up and showed off in Taiwan as we trained inner healing teams for two churches as well as releasing the prophetic gifting into the body there. As SOZO was being ministered to the leaders of the church they were getting free from lies they had believed from childhood. Several of the ladies were sexually molested as children by relatives or friends. What a joy to see them healed from the devastation of such an invasion of the enemy.

One lady said…

Through the ministry I was directed to meet God in deeper ways through Sozo, my life has gained freedom both in relationship to God, to man and to myself. I feel so much lighter.

Another reported…

?I received a prophetic word about carrying loads that I was not meant to carry. This together with my Sozo training has released me from a lot of unhealthy manipulation in relationships.

Yet another is telling everyone in sight how God has turned her life upside down through her Sozo encounter, and is continuing to testify of the release she feels deep in her heart and in every aspect of life.

SOZO whacked them with encounter.

Then the Co-Pastor said of her Husband…

He was watching you and the others step out in prophecy in the meetings, so Sunday morning he also began by prophesying over people. Words of knowledge, prophecy, etc. is happening in every meeting we have had since. ? Hallelujah! We all feel upgraded in the use of spiritual gifts! It is exciting!

God be glorified!

God moves… and keeps on moving!

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Cheryl had several recent testimonies to share. Just more proof that God is good all the time!

  1. I had been looking for a job for several months.
    Two days after the laying of hands and prayer, I was offered a contract to hire position through an agency. I had been waiting for 4 months without success. The assignment is only temporary for 4 months but I believe the Lord will place me in this job as long as I want to be there. It seems that others in the department where I will be working are not interested in the position. I have been told I am doing an excellent job and they are impressed at how I am managing the administrative portion of the department. This is the first positive feedback I have received and I was very encouraged. I will put in for the position when it is officially posted after October 1.
    It was only through prayer that this position opened up and I was cleared with a thorough background screening very quickly.
    The
    people I dealt with through the agency were such a blessing and so
    honest and helpful in finding me this position. The Lord led me to them
    and his hand and annointing are on this situation.
  2. I received a letter from the State of California Controller’s Office stating that they had money for me that had been sitting in an account for over 20 years from the State of Arkansas. Although they have known my address from filing State taxes, they never contacted me until I moved to Plano. Anyway, I will be receiving $169.00 from an unknown source that has been sitting in account unclaimed all this time. Pretty amazing how those declarations work. A new job and now unclaimed money!
  3. At a recent service I was having severe ovary pain but was embarrassed to come forward. I leaned over and mentioned it to a friend. I think God wanted me to come forward to show me that his healing powers worked. I had really been skeptical in the past. I came forward with Debbie and Lisa and Amy laid hands and prayed.
    Almost immediately, the pain in my left side went away – the right side remained but lifted a little. Everyone continued to pray and it mostly went away. When I returned to my seat it was totally gone within 30 minutes.
  4. While praying for the pain, Amy mentioned that she felt there was a situation with a male person that was causing me pain – she was right on the mark. It was specifically my relationship with one of my brothers. We prayed for both my brothers and about family dysfunctional issues.
    Amy and Lisa prayed that both my brothers would reconcile with me; but if not, that I would have the strength to stand on what I know is right. The prayer was very uplifting.
    Eleven days later my brother Nick called me after 9 months and apologized for his behavior toward me and there was reconciliation, forgiveness and honesty about his and his family’s behavior toward me. We came to an understanding. God had been working is his and his family’s life in the last months. My moving away had given them something to think about because I did not allow anyone to give them contact information until recently.
    Two days later he called me again and we spoke until 1:30 in the morning (for 1-1/2 hrs) about my mother and my other brother. There have been some ongoing issues about how he treats our mother and other members of the family. This is what I took a stand about 2 years ago. He is an alcoholic who can be emotionally and verbally abusive. Everyone criticized me for exposing his behavior but now it is coming to fruition and I am being validated.
    The Lord showed me through this conversation with my brother that he is working is all of my family to expose the evil doing of the enemy.


    My heart has been uplifted and healed in many ways just by the infusion of the holy spirit as I drink it in at the Summit Church.I am grateful to those who have stood with me and prayed. Please continue as I try to find a car and a place to live.

Staff Testimony Report – 7/21/09

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

What’s the GOOD NEWS?

We always begin our staff meetings with reports of what God has been doing. Here’s the latest.

  • We had 38 visitors on Sunday morning.
  • We received great reports from Northpointe church and Folic that their services were totally rocked and there were healings and the Spirit was moving.
  • At the Holy Spirit Conference this past weekend, there was a couple that attended and God did an awesome work. Here is a little bit of their story. He had just revealed to her 2 days earlier that he had an affair. They have 3 children and the oldest who is a pre-teen realized something was up, He asked his mom if everything was OK. She said, no it isn’t but I know it will be OK. While they were here at the conference God helped restore the relationship and she actually said she feels NO anger. On Saturday she talked to her son and he asked how she was and she was able to tell him that everything was doing good and it was going to be alright. He told her that he was praying and she was able to tell him that his prayers worked.
    Another cool thing that happened is that Alisha got a word for her, she felt like she was to give her a name tag that said Princess and that God was giving her a new name. When Alisha gave her the name tag she burst into tears and told Alisha that she was praying for a new name but she felt like God said He would bring it to her. WOW! Isn’t God Cool!
  • Sunday morning we had 1 saved and 2 filled with the spirit with the evidence of tongues.
  • Someone said that Sunday morning she felt a boulder that had been present in her life for 12 years had been removed.
  • Amber was healed of back pain after the word of knowledge came forth Sunday morning.
  • Kalin’s broken toe was healed
  • A word was given to call people and pray for them over the phone. Anna a friend who has been diagnosed with Bi-Polar and after we prayed for her she said, ” I feel Happy.” Also Sharon called her mom who was suffering with terrible knee pain. After they prayed she felt the spirit all the way in California and she was walking around and crying. Totally Healed!
  • Linda’s Back was healed
  • Amy O. was healed of Scoliosis and rheumatoid arthritis! At lunch after service, she said, “My finger hurts, and I am so happy!” When she was asked her if she wanted prayer for it and she said, “No, I have been in so much pain that i didn’t even notice that my finger hurt, but now all the other pain is gone I can feel it. I like this pain. It makes me happy!”

Our God Restores Relationships!!

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

God even restores relationships that have been broken for a long time… Thank you Regina for sharing this testimony of hope.

Over the last few weeks God has made so many changes in my life. One of the things he wanted me to do was go to my mother and ask her for forgiveness. I cut her out of my life about seven years ago. God was very clear when he spoke to me about honoring my mother and my father. Wanting to be obedient to him I called and asked her for forgiveness.

She was very receiptive and was so happy that I wanted to have a relationship with her again. I asked if I could come see her; and that turned happiness to joy. God was clear that he wanted me to go see her and that my kids were to be part of it. They need to see what forgiveness looks like. God had put Easter weekend as the time to go. We didn’t have the funds to go on this trip but I knew God would provide. Taking a step of faith I started making reservations and told my mother I would let her know the details in a few days. True to his word, God provided the funds for us to go.

We arrived on Good Friday and we hugged, kissed and cried. I spent the weekend sharing with my mom what God has been doing in my life. During one of the times I was sharing she told me that she had stopped believing in God. I was really surprised because she grew up in church as a child and young adult. Her father was a pastor and I couldn’t imagine her not believing. She told me she stopped because she couldn’t imagine that if there was a God he would allow all the pain and hurt to happen to us in the past. The loss of the relationship with her kids was just too much. I shared with her what I see when I look back on my life and how I always knew Jesus was with me. Through the darkest times of my life he never left my side. I can look back now and see how the experiences I had as a child and teenager has molded into the person I am today. She told me that since I see it that way that she can start to believe in God again.

Before we left to come back home I asked if Bryan and I could pray for her. She said yes, so we prayed and part of my prayer was that God would heal her and give her strength. I want her to see herself the way God sees her. I shared with her that we need to let go of the guilt and pain of the past so it doesn’t hold us back from what God wants to do in our life. God not only restored my relationship with my mother; he also is using that restoration to restore her back to him. My mother emailed me on 4/14 and is interested in listening to the pod cast on the church website. I can’t promise that asking for forgiveness will always look like this, but I do know that by obeying God and having him plan everything out is so much sweeter than anything I could have ever tried to do myself. I hope this message blesses someone and gives them hope of what God can do and wants to do for us. I never asked this for myself out of ignorance; but God knows what was best for me.
