Speaking of His Glory - Testimonies

PCS West - January 2010

Testimony #1: Wow the Heavenly Father¡¦s love is awesome. Before coming to PCS, I was not aware of the impact of generational sin had in my life. I praise God for teaching me to recognize and cut those sins off from my life, my family and my children. I now have the freedom to worship God knowing those sins are gone and not to be returning.
Also, I did not know how much I needed a mother and father¡¦s hug and affirmation. During PCS, I was able to experience that through my surrogate mother and father as I have not gotten from my earthly father and mother. I learned my Heavenly Father is all sufficient. Whatever my earthly parents cannot give me, the Heavenly Father can provide. Thank you to the entire PCS team for helping me to have a closer relationship with the Heavenly Father. Also to be a better husband to my wife, a better father to my children and a better son to my parents.

Testimony #2: I didn¡¦t realize that there were so many spiritual bondages from generational sins, character traits and sexual sins that were holding me back from being one with the Lord. Up until PCS, I identified myself as a strong Christian, especially for my age. But God revealed to me that He doesn¡¦t look at age, and only wishes to impart more onto the next generation. God really taught me what the spirit of forgiveness meant. There were so many hurts and curses placed upon my life by my parents, friends and classmates but God taught me to release them from the bondage that I had also placed on them. They have no more bondage over my life anymore and God is the only one that defines me. Also God taught me that sexual sins are the hardest thing to let go of. Years and years of sexual acts bound me to experiencing and knowing the true heart of God. There were spirits and demons that needed to be cast out and it was God truly showing me that he could bring ultimate satisfaction. Going back home, I vow my life is only to be used for God¡¦s kingdom. I¡¦ve always tried to expand God¡¦s Kingdom but now I know that it is only with the strength of our Heavenly Father.

Testimony #3: I can now declare I¡¦m a royal priest for my God, Father in heaven. He wants to be my father and he wants to be with me forever. How precious is that?? How precious is the cross. I¡¦m no longer bounded. I¡¦m no longer trapped. I¡¦m freed by the blood of Jesus Christ, my Lord, my King. Nothing can separate me from him. He has shown me throughout this past week that redemption, sanctification can only come through Him and nothing else. No more condemnations, no more guilt and shame; only the love that Jesus showed on the cross and the embrace of the Father and cleansing from the Holy Spirit. The Lord told me I don¡¦t need to stand by the strength of my own two feet. I was intimidated by the evil one. But God says he¡¦ll carry me and He did and does and will continue to do so until all eternity. Eternity is a long time, but God is who I want to be with forever. Through the Holy Spirit convictions, sanctifications process begins. It¡¦s a continual process.? It¡¦s by the transformations for the renewing of the mind, and giving ourselves to the Lord as a living sacrifice. That¡¦s just exciting. I¡¦m ready to spend eternity with the Lord. It starts now. Thank you, Jesus!!

Testimony #4: During this PCS, I know that my Lord Jesus has already restored my life back to His original plan. I am made in His image! I am precious in His sight. I no longer stand condemnation of myself because my Lord Jesus took all my sins, however displeasing and detestable they were, upon His own body. I used to think that I was a victim and my life was meaningless, but now I stand and proclaim that I am an over comer! I am made to worship and adore God. I stand victorious because Jesus is my Shield, my Protector, my Over comer. I have survived the trials of this life and I will continue to survive because Christ is my strength. I am holy and pure because He is Holy.

Testimony #5: I didn¡¦t understand the seriousness of PCS until I actually experienced it for myself. There was so much confessing and forgiveness. On Tuesday night, God told me that I had a lot of idol in my life and that my worship to Him was not genuine. I asked for forgiveness and for Him to cleanse my heart. I prayed to God for the gift of worship. God convicted me to take my service on the worship team to a new level. Worship is so crucial in my relationship with the Father. I think He has already blessed me with musical talent and who but God deserves all my praise. There are so many things that I don¡¦t understand about Him but His grace is something that continues to amaze me. And I feel that worship truly allows me to express my gratitude for Jesus dying on the cross. Somehow, God is able to speak to me through songs and lyrics and I received so much during PCS. ¡§Because of Your cross, my debt is paid. Because of Your blood, my sins are washed away. Now all of my life, I freely give. Because of Your love. Because of Your love, I live!¡¨ I also received much healing of my past childhood and of sexual immorality. And doing TWA daily, really opened my eyes to see what¡¦s on God¡¦s heart. His daily bread helps me get through the day. I pray that God will give me the strength and wisdom to live out what I learned from PCS.

Testimony #6: Confession. Repentance. Renouncing. Forgiveness. Words normally associated with the dealing of sin in one¡¦s life. However, the concepts of freedom and healing are not normally associated with these words. But until I took hold of confessing, repenting renouncing, receiving forgiveness (and forgiving others) of my sins,, the sins of my bloodline, etc. I couldn¡¦t honestly and in good conscience dub myself as God¡¦s ¡§Great Reclamation Project¡¨. To be able to do that WHILE having the Gospel truth firmly rooted in my mind, soul, spirit, and heart finally released me from the ¡§stuck parking brake¡¨ of life. A powerless believer is a believer in which truth, love of the Father, and the power of the Holy Spirit is rendered useless because sin has held the believer capture. Whether the sin is known or not known (i.e. generational sin). The morning TWA¡¦s, the times of confessions, repentance, and reclamation gave me some necessary breakthrough to allow the Holy Spirit to slip back into the crevices of my life (mind, body, spirit etc.) and take back what was and is rightfully God¡¦s. My new found freedom isn¡¦t simply ¡§freedom from¡¨, but now it¡¦s freedom to fully enjoy the company of God, the Father¡K.and enjoy what He has in store for my family and I.

Testimony #7: The Lord God has blessed me so much this week, more than what I expected!? I received so much healing, He revealed all the sins, bitterness, hurt that I¡¦ve been carrying around and didn¡¦t even realize that I¡¦ve buried. He continuously but gently, reminded me that I had to completely lay everything at the cross to receive complete healing. I was lying to myself and making excuses for my sinful ways, but the Lord told me that to be cleansed, I do not have any room for the enemy¡¦s lies and strongholds. He reminded me that He had died on the cross for us, that there is no condemnation as long as we confess, repent, and receive forgiveness. I have a renewed spirit that I am excited to ¡§share¡¨ with my own children, family and friends. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for You are our Almighty King, our Healer, Redeemer and sanctifier! Amen!

Testimony #8: I¡¦ve wanted to come voluntarily and therefore come with much expectation. I love to be at places where God¡¦s presence is there and PCS is definitely one of those. With God¡¦s grace, I am able to attend and arrive on time with no burden or worries left behind. And I truly believe this is the best time, as the course will ride across a New Year symbolizing a brand new start with all the old stuff gone. I am so blessed to able to really taste the gift of forgiveness throughout the course. We had lots of confession and cleansing being done and lost and broken relationship being restored. Jesus dying for us on the cross is all about forgiving. And if we can imitate Him in forgiving others the true blessing is on us. I was able to forgive my mother and received the mother¡¦s hug from Him and have our long lost relationship restored was so wonderful. A sense of total relief and heaviness came out of me and it felt GREAT!

Testimony #9: It¡¦s hard to sum up everything God did this week through PCS; there is so much good stuff!? He blessed me and loved me in ways beyond what I had hoped, prayed, or imagined. I feel the most clean and free and whole and at peace, at rest, than I have ever felt. He has built me up through restoring my speech during our times of declaring and praying His word. He has set me free through confession of and repentance of sins and renouncing of the kingdom of darkness that still had ground in my life. He empowered me to come against the enemy. Has helped me to receive His mothering and fathering qualities and my inheritance as His child and bride. Has renewed my mind and given me hope for the future. Abba has assured me that He has always been with me and that He will always be with me. Has shown me that the only way I can live the fullness of life that He has for me is to stay connected with Him every day and find my being in His embrace alone. PCS has equipped me to live this out, walk out His word, daily by letting me experience God for myself. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

Testimony #10: For all these years at SJCAC, I¡¦ve been longing to join PCS but not until now. I did attend Prayer Class, Refathering and Edenites and had some deliverances. But my life was still in pieces and even though I have been doing TWA seriously for many years and serving the Lord ¡§faithfully (sort of)¡¨, still not until now I feel myself a holy one piece (one spirit, one soul, and one body) sanctified and be ready to serve the Lord. And I praised the Lord for His perfect timing that I had gone through prayer class first to confess my deepest root of sexual sin, then Edenite the separate of my husband due to our closeness of sexual sins, and finally the deepest, deepest wound of the distance of my dad and the bitterness from my mom was healed at PCS. Praise the Lord, from now on I can truly be a beautiful, holy child, and beloved by the Lord and empowered to get ready every day to serve and live my life for my Lord!! And I thank the Lord for He never let go of me. I thank God for the pastors who have never give up on me until they see I can have the potential the Lord gives me the wholeness and fullness in Jesus Christ. Thank you, Lord!! :)

PCS East - April 2009

Testimony #1: I learned how important reading the Word can make in my life, including praying, worshiping, and spending time with the Lord. TWA will heal my heart and change my life. I realized that I really need to feel the Father¡¦s love and not man¡¦s approval and love. PCS opened my eyes to all the worldly strongholds that I do and practice. I need to transform my heart and look to Jesus first. The only one who can fix my and forgive me is Jesus. One of the evenings, I felt the Holy Spirit touch my right shoulder and felt His love. I started feeling disconnected and a wall around me the first night, then slowly I felt free to worship on the third and fourth days. The Lord is working inside me and I want more of Him. He highlighted areas of my life to work on and I¡¦m so thankful. Thank you PCS, for everyone¡¦s heart and God¡¦s love spoken to me. I see His presence strongly in everyone working here for the Lord¡XWow! So refreshing.

Testimony #2: The Lord touched my heart in so many ways. As we have been in a season of concentrations and surrender, PCS took me even deeper! The Word being taught not only as food, but identification and confession of sins has helped me to deal with areas of pride and self-centeredness that I know will continue to be rooted out as faithfulness in His Word goes on daily. Even when I thought areas of forgiveness had been dealt with the Lord peeled off more layers. Teaching on the areas of sexual sin and bondage were huge for me, even after having been to PCS 3 years ago for the first time. I¡¦m learning that freedom to trust God completely equals deeper and deeper healing and the ability through His powerful Word is what allows Him to use and work through me. Also that I don¡¦t have to compare myself to others; He is making me and shaping me into who He wants me to be! I believe this so much more today than just a few short years ago. I am unique and special to Him. Thank you to all of those who sacrificed to serve and give themselves at PCS.

Testimony #3: I have been through healing ministry before, but each time, the healing gets deeper and more thorough. Jesus has helped me reaffirm and reclaim old healing from before as well as breaking through in new areas. I was able to release and forgive my father for not letting me fail when I was younger. I have recognized the strongholds of fear and control that have been at work in my life. I have cut them off and destroyed their strongholds. The Holy Spirit now fills those places. I choose to trust God and allow him to control my life. I will continue to live out my freedom by eating the Word in TWA. God is GOOD!!!

Testimony #4: During these five days the Holy Spirit revealed to me many areas of sinful traits that I needed to repent of. During daily Time with Abba, to read God¡¦s Word only for me is so critical, to face up my own sins and strongholds and daily put myself under the cross, letting His Word cleanse me and His Holy Spirit to enlighten the darkness in me is so necessary in my growing to be more like Jesus. I sense in my spirit there is a new sense of obedience to God¡¦s Spirit and hunger for more of Him. Also there is more light shed on my husband¡¦s early death. And again I can say ¡§God is good¡¨ in allowing him to suffer great pains in his last year of earthly journey to purify him and make him complete, ready to face the Lord. The day before the Lord took him home, his eyes were closed and he said, ¡§Lord Jesus, let¡¦s go! please. I am ready.¡¨ The blessings at the communion are so significant that I¡¦m to build God¡¦s Kingdom, to be a vessel of His love and grace. May the Lord enable me to walk closely with Him moment by moment.

Testimony #5: This is my second PCS. I came here with a strong desire to be freed, healed and cleansed from sins and bondages that I¡¦ve been suffering and feeling entrapped in. The Lord is so faithful and good to give forgiveness, healing and deliverance. Deep roots of fear, blaming, and resentment have kept me captive. But through confession and the Lord¡¦s mighty hand, I experienced abundant freedom in these areas. I¡¦m learning to trust and rely on the Holy Spirit¡Xmy only hope for purity and healing. I believe my understanding and healing went deeper. The Holy Spirit gave me revelations and conviction that led to this cleansing and filled me with His love. Hallelujah for the blood of Jesus! My greatest desire is that the healing I¡¦ve received would not just be maintained, but grow deeper each day¡Xthat my family and me would walk each day consecrated unto the Lord, healed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. I believe PCS, as it is a school, gives essential tools to maintaining and growing in healing in our daily lives. I long to grow deeper in love and intimacy with my gentle and powerful, loving and merciful, gracious and just Abba each day. Praise the Lord!

Also, it was such a blessing to be here pregnant, and received God¡¦s blessings and love and words over our child. I pray this child experiences the power and love of the Holy Spirit, even now! It is wonderful to experience this healing and freedom in preparation for parenthood.

Testimony #6: Coming to PCS, I had a heavy, broken, hard, and depressed heart. I could feel the pain and got used to it. I was excited and scared to come to PCS and open up, but the blessing the first night told me that God had different plans for my life and walk. God broke down the barriers this week. The first night God told me that I was going to share my deepest and secret sins. What!? I was afraid going into the week with fear, but the Lord showed me this was a safe place. The last night was the best, as I was being brought out from the pain of my sexual sins. God gave me a new heart, softening it and giving it life. It was hard to sleep because of the joy awakened by God. I kept singing praises in my dreams. My soul could not stop rejoicing in the Lord for the new life He gave me. Now as I go back to church and school, I want to strengthen my brothers with the joy of the Lord.

Testimony #7: Praise the Lord for He showed me His grace and more importantly allowed me to know His love. He gave to me the gift of speaking out and asking, confessing so that I can hear my own sins, so the enemy can know that I am talking to my Lord, asking my Lord to protect me. I know that my Lord will destroy my pursuing enemies, if I ask. The inner hurts, the iniquities and soul ties were a surprise the Lord showed me. I discovered and received through Him that I had let these demons tied me into knots of pain, sorrow, shame and fakeness. Thanks be to the Lord, for his love and grace. Thanks be to Jesus, for dying for our sins and sitting by the Lord to save me! Thanks be to the Holy Spirit, to continue to brood on me. Thanks to TWA. May my passion for Christ multiple in His presence and that I will chase after Him on His path!

Testimony #8: When my friend told me about her experience at the PCS conference in CA, I was really encouraged. I did not plan to come with my husband since he hasn¡¦t been that open with these types of conferences, but to my surprise, he agreed to change our vacation plans so that we could both attend this PCS. We should have known at that point that God would have so much for us to receive.

I have attended another healing and deliverance ministry, but it had been many years ago. I felt as though the Lord had more to show me, now as a newly married woman. I had forgiven my mother of the past hurts, but I didn¡¦t realize how deep the wounds still are in my life. I was really blessed during the time of hugs and blessings from the surrogate parents. I cried and cried, but I felt such a sense of peace afterwards. When I forgave my mother for her trespasses against me, I was able to have compassion for my mother and was moved to intercede and pray for her. That was only because of the power and ability that came through the prophetic act of forgiveness with my surrogate ¡§mother¡¨. Ever since Monday night, I have felt so free and light. I didn¡¦t know that I was ¡§heavy¡¨ and laden-down until the yokes were broken off. I feel so free now and I have so much peace. I pray that I will not allow any of those past strongholds to return and it is my continued obedience and diligence to God. Thank you for giving me a taste of the Kingdom for the past 5 days.

Testimony #9: The first time I came to PCS, the Lord dealt with many of my own personal issues. This time, the Lord dealt with the generational iniquities and sins. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, from worship, TWA, and prayer, the Lord kept showing me that I needed to deal with the gods of my forefathers. TWA has made the Bible so much more real to me. The sins in the Word are also mine and my ancestors. I never saw that before and so now I can pray and ask for forgiveness on behalf of my family and cut off the generational iniquities so that they are no longer passed on to my children and future generations.

The other thing the Lord really showed me was that until I surrender myself¡Xevery aspect to Him, I will never become who I¡¦m meant to be. I can trust Him; He knows what is best for me and will never harm me. As I continue to lay down my life, He gives me the life I was meant to have. Glory to God! Thank you, Lord for what you are doing in my life. Thank you for PCS and all of your faithful servants. You are an awesome God! And thank you for challenging us to worship with all of our hearts! We need to get out of ourselves and our comfort zones and into His presence! Thank you!

Testimony #10: What did I receive from God through this PCS? More healing from things of the past; I¡¦m so grateful! And I was so blessed to know that this is a process not a one-time deal because I have gone through a time of inner healing once before and kind of felt guilty to go through it again until I realized that it¡¦s all a process on my journey with Jesus.

I was prayed for physical healing from a thyroid condition and went for 2 whole days without medicine and I believe that I will be fully healed in the future. I believe I have been blessed so that I can be a blessing to others. Thank you for being vessels of Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit.

How do I respond to His wonderful grace? With much gratefulness! My heart is overflowing. I¡¦ve felt freedom to dance before Him again and even to start declaring and praying out loud. For a long time I have felt rather bound in this area. I will continue to respond with thanksgiving and joy. Pressing in, knowing it¡¦s not about what I¡¦m feeling.

How God touches my heart. The Lord has touched my heart by surrounding me and enveloping me in the Holy Spirit, speaking out His Word of truth and letting me know I¡¦m not finished, that WE will go deeper together. Thank you again for being vessels! Shalom and love.

PCS West - December 2008-January 2009

Testimony #1: Lord Jesus, thank you for these past 5 days¡Kthese last 9 years of being in my life. Lord thank you for not abandoning me and keeping your tight hand on me. The many years of running from you are gone. I now run toward you, Jesus. You have kept your grip on me. When I was violated, lost and in shame, You were always by my side. You heard every cry and wiped off every tear. When I ran around chasing things, gods, people of this world, You were watching me. You did not condemn me, You still loved me when I worshipped others beside you You still grieved but Your grace and mercy was still upon me. I and my family may have committed so many sins to you, but your grip was on us. Thank you, Lord for never forsaking me.

I am no longer under the generational curses of my family. I am free. You have forgiven me of all, ALL, my sins even the most deepest and secretive ones¡KI have confessed among your priests and you. I am no longer condemned from your kingdom. I am your bride, your princess. You have forgiven me and I am worthy, clean, pure and holy before you. I am yours and you are mine. My life is in your hands and I live for you, worshipping and surrendering to you. One thing I ask Lord, one thing I seek is to look upon the beauty of the Lord, to gaze upon your face and dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon your beauty and look upon your presence in your Holy temple. I love you, Jesus, may I grow more in love with you. I look upon your cross and know that I am free. It is done. Thank you, precious Jesus. In your Holy name, Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Testimony #2: What will I be expecting? I only knew if I was a piece of dry land. Deep inside, I was crying out with silent guilt, condemning myself and fearful if God will leave me even though His Word says: ¡§I will not forsake you.¡¨ In these unexpected healing services, I specifically renounce all curses that come along with any impact and effect on behalf of my fathers and his ancestors and my mother and her ancestors. I reflected a lot on my role towards my daughter and asking God for all the damages done to her. I understood the effects, impacts and works of the enemy and their way of works; I now learnt, comprehended, renounced their works and cut any roots in my bloodline, praying, renouncing and confessing openly all my sins of my parents, ancestors, myself, up to3-4 generations, myself and my generation down to the 4th.

I now seriously will look closely into His Word¡Xespecially in the area of confession, it has been tough and difficult. But now I will live a life of confession to my husband, my daughter, my family and the Lord! I now began to comprehend why ¡§Time with Abba¡¨ is deeply important! I saw the commitment, operating of the Holy Spirit and the gifting through all these surrogate mothers and fathers motivated me about TWA. Nothing comes easy but it¡¦s all about loving Jesus, allowing the Holy Spirit and adoring my Heavenly Father. Indeed, David said in Psalms 23: ¡§The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want!¡¨ I reflected on my love for my husband and my daughter. I reflected on how Jesus had tucked me with confidence, love and grace. The word ¡§complete¡¨ kept ringing in my mind. All these years of crying out to Jesus in prayer ¡§to be complete in You¡¨¡Xthe Lord has opened a new chapter of my life in 2009. I am looking forward to serve Jesus in this new year 2009. Strangely, it hasn¡¦t been my desire for the last 6 years. I now am willing to stand behind my husband in
