Praise Reports

 

Below are some of the testimonies we have received from people around the world who's lives have been changed by God during the conferences, meetings and other Freedom events.

Revelation 12: 11
"They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;"

To God be the Glory!

 

Princess Restored
I just want to testify that I'm still so much blessed from the conference with David & Jacqueline Powell. It is just like I'm in first love again.

Many things that I've been reading before and known with my head. Suddenly it seems to be able to sink in into my heart and I'm able to overcome sin and struggles, that I've been dealing with for a long time.

In the healing meeting, God used David to call me a princess and that just changed everything.
It just becomes my testimony and I can't stop talking to everyone about God's love for them.
A friend said in the school recently that I looked like a princess and after that I said "Yes, that's true God is my Father, and he is the King". I want them to become so jealous that they can't do anyting else than follow Him.

One of my battles is related to food. I have always had a difficult relationship with food. using it as my comfort. Now God has touched me with his love. I have victory after victory. instead of going to food for my comfort I go to God and He is so good.

I am wearing earrings again since many years. I used to think that Godly woman shouldn't make themself beautiful but God has showed me that I should wear them again and that my beauty is a pleasure and witness to  him. He is making me beautiful inside and that shines to outside. And I feel so loved and special and beautiful.

I am on the way, but God is taking me from one glory to the other. I'm wearing the bracelet they gave me everyday. It is a remembrance everyday of the way God sees me and it helps me to become more and more free. He is exposing many lies that keep me back. It is amazing!!
God is soooo good!!

Healed by Love
I don't know if you really remember me, but you prayed for me when you came to visit my church. the one who got the love encounter through prayer with you. I have felt disqualified for a very long time and I have felt like my sin separated me from God.  I felt like I had to somehow clean-up my life to please Him before He would love me, but I wasn't doing a good enough job.  One of the things that I think made it the most difficult for me to receive His love was that I lost my father about five years ago.  I didn't even realize until that weekend when you prayed for me that my heart had been shut down from really receiving any kind of love (especially a Father's) since then.

My dad was an amazing father to me, and was my family and my comfort.  Then he started to get sick and in only a few short months he was gone. Even now it still hurts to let out my thoughts and feelings.  I remember just shutting down when he died because I couldn't deal with the pain.  After you prayed with me, I felt such an incredible peace... I can't even describe it in a way that would do it justice.  I felt that I was wrapped in my Father's arms, resting my head on His lap as He gently stroked my hair.  I just felt Him all around me and a really let love in for the first time in years, and it really felt good!
 
Since then, God has been reinforcing what I received when you visited my church.  Through others and my quiet time I have been reminded that He loves me right now, who I am today, and that together we are going to make it even better.  He sees me as His beautiful creation, His little princess, and just as my earthly father did.

Thank you so much for coming to my church and taking the time to pray for me!

Teenager set Free
I recently came back to God about 2 months ago & got myself out of a pretty disfunctional relationship. I had prayed that someone would come and heal me from the stuff that would try to pull me back into depression and hurt. I guess God sent... David! Throughout the 2 - 3 weeks he has been here God used him to break a lot of stuff off my life & once soul ties were broken with my last boyfriend, temptation to go back to a bad relationship ended

For 3 years I'd battled deep depression & hated myself to the point of self-harming & suicidal thoughts. When David prayed off the spirit of death off my life in Jesus name, something in me battled and didn't want to go. It felt like a source of comfort was leaving me and I was bombarded with thoughts of anger and pain and death.

The next evening I was battling thoughts of self harming again. That night David prayed against a spirit of torment & it battled because it did not want to leave. I could hear it talking in my head and laughing at me. It fought to stay until I was able to renounce it & suddenly I felt this HUGE release throughout my mind and body! I immediately felt the difference - my mind was clear & I wasn't getting all the negative thoughts or the self hate. It's take a while to get used to because it was such a normal thing!

Through prayer I feel like a different person & even though there are some things in my life I need to deal with, for once in my life I see a positive future for myself! Praise God

Freemasonry looses it's hold
I found the Healing Life's Hurts course a very uncomfortable time & started to have oppression come on me. I didn't like who I was & just wanted to run away. David & Jacqueline helped me see where this was coming from & as time went on God showed me several things that went on. I had several very real breakthroughs & God revealed things to David when he was praying that I'd never shared with anyone. I slept that night all way through for the first time in months!!

When I woke next day it felt like a knife was twisting inside my left side, both wrists were joined together and in a lot of pain, and we knees hurt a lot too. When I shared with David 48 hours later, the Lord showed him there was generational freemasonry & when he prayed it was like the whole of my insides were struggling and I could literally feel the knife twisting & then releasing. Once the strangling around my neck and the choking had stopped, my whole being felt free and light.

I have a new life within me. Praise God for His love and encouragement!

Major healing comes
Thank you for your wonderful teaching on shock & trauma. After the ministry time and follow up using the manual, I believe the Lord has set me free of the following:-

  • physical abuse and rejection when I was eight
  • from my grandmother dropping dead in front of me when I was 11
  • a number of road accidents, including when I was hit by another driver when I was pregnant & the subsequent mis-carraige
  • loss of our home through flooding & the struggle to rebuild a home
  • shock when our son was diagnosed with diabetes

Heart Beat returns to normal
During worship on Monday night, the thought of the Lord's love being as large as an ocean, I felt a weight coming down on me, then a tingle, then my heart began to bubble just like a kettle boiling. Over the past years my heart has beat very irregularly. I have had two surgical procedures, but with little effect. Since Monday I have not had an irregular heart beat!

Freedom like never before
I have experienced much healing after much prayer. Shock & Trauma was a huge issue after having spinal surgery at 14 years of age. Abandonment was an issue also. After receiving prayer on two occasions, I am now experiencing freedom in areas like never before. My outlook on things has dramatically changed. I feel alive and have a purpose in life. It is about Him, in every area. Pain out & love in!

Joy Restored
On Sunday night I was set fre from a lifetime of abuse/hurt/anger/greed. I found the joy of laughter again. Thanks and praise to God.

World War 2 trauma
I had now memory of the home I was in being bombed but as David prayed over every one and broke Shock & Trauma, I had a vision of a V2 rocket bouncing over the park at the back of the home we lived in when I was a baby and blowing up the home, as I was in the baby basket. I was totally surprised by the release that the Lord gave me!

Relationship restored
As I watched David pray for people on Sunday night for 5 hours, and the way he lovingly treated each person as an individual and not as planks of wood, I was able to be healed of hurts I carried from my father, and have that relationship restored. And all without being prayed for.

War time trauma broken
I was invited to come to the meeting on Sunday night for the first time and did not know what to expect. When David prayed for me for shock and trauma, the Lord released 64 years of trauma from when the house I was in was destroyed by a cluster bomb and the rubble landed on top of me as I hid in the basement. I am now 75 years of age and for the first time am free!

Freemasonry effects broken
When David broke the power of freemasonry off people during a prayer time, I felt a darkness lifted that had been preventing me experiencing joy and peace. After this I rested in absolute peace for an hour of total silence. The peace was tangible!

Heart Attack After effects healed
Since hving a heart attack 18 months ago, I have had a slight heaviness in my chest. After prayer last night, the heaviness has gone.

Twisted ankle healed
I fell down the stairs at the tax office earier in the day and badly twisted my ankle. When I got home I was in a lot of pain and had difficulty standing on it. I wasn't going to come to the meeting because of it, and came in limping. As the worship started, the pain lifted and my ankle was healed without anyone praying for it!

Generational Shame gone
During the Friday night meeting, the effects of generational shame was broken off my life and at the same time it lifted off my Mum who was on the other side of the meeting! I had been under this cloud of shame for years, hanging my head in shame, trying to make myself unnoticeable. I have felt confident to be the women that God has created me to be.

Child healed and now writing
When you were here last you prayed for Joshua our son for his writing to speed up. He had a special teacher and it was really frustrating him. The very next night, Christine burst out laughing from the lounge. "Come quickly" she called. She was dictating words and Joshua was writing as quick as a secretary! The teacher later said what have you been feeding Joshua. Christine said "a prophet prayed for him". It's been a real witness at the Presbyterian school he goes to, praise Jesus!

Unemployment Ended
A wonderful breakthrough happened with us. We knew that God had moved in our lives when David prayed for us on many levels but we know that God released one of His breaker angels to break through in order to change our situation. We had been in NZ for almost a whole year and Alastair still hadn’t managed to get a job despite having very good prospects and we were really beginning to wonder how long we could go on.

Anyway to cut a long story short the day after David prayed for us Alastair was offered a contract for 2 months and then a couple of days after that he was offered a permanent position! It was really amazing and we are very thankful to the Lord.

We hope that this will encourage you - a testimony of God’s love for us all. There’s always a way through.

Worship Changes in Australian Church
Thank you so much for staying with us David and ministering to our church family. It was a blessed time and many are still talking about the week. What began in worship while you were here has continued to gain in strength. We have not gone back “to the way it was” Free worship has gone into a new dimension.

(a follow up a month later) Last Sunday and two home meetings this week have been quite amazing. There is something fresh and new happening. Preaching has become "easier" and much more passionate and the response has been for more significant than ever before. Our Tuesday night home group is now 20-25 people so am calling it "house church" and it is totally Holy Spirit run, I have no agenda or program. Our soaking nights we are getting the same number. Last year we were getting 5-7 on a soaking night.

Breaking Shock & Trauma Releases New Levels
I just had to let you know about Aaron - the guy who had been struggling after the bus accident. Well, something super dramatic has happened to him.... He has always been quite prophetic but the Lord has started downloading revelation like never before and he is just 'flying'. Honestly, he sounded amazing. He was preaching to me, telling me about the revelations he been getting and it was so filled with such solid gold. Praise God!  So thank you for your ministry to him...  and it is just beautiful. Wow, talk about a release!

Church Changed by God's Presence
I wanted to just thank you for coming to our church while you with us in the Waikato. My whole way of thinking has totally changed since your visit. I asked you to pray for me on the Thursday of the week before you came to Te Aroha for my mind to be opened to the scriptures, since then I have had soooooo much revelation out of books in the bible that previously were a total mystery to me.

And the word that you blessed (my wife) and I with has encouraged us so much, the Lord is still blessing us with revelation from what you said even now, it is like we have just been rocket launched into the spiritual realm. You blessed us so massively. Thanks so much. We can't wait to see you again...

Church has been awesome lately, I had an angel tell me what to pray over a lady in our church last Sunday night. There has been a openness here ever since you came...
