Testimonies

"Though I was never an athlete, the weight that I carried in my soul took a huge toll on my body. My physical therapist would say, ' You have the shoulders of a weight lifter and the hips of a football player.' The phrase, ' Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders' applied to me. I had carried the weight of abandonment, abuse, many failed marriages, as well as the struggles of my children. As I began to learn who God is and trust Him, I began physically and enjoy my life." -Gail

"My whole life was defined by abandonment, abuse and loss which left me full of rage and fear. I became a master of controlling everything in my life. This "skill" eventually was going to cause my death. I had become unable to eat or even drink. After months of this I lost 100 pounds and was unable to walk without a cane I was so weak. When all medical tests determined there was not a physical reason for my aversion to food and water, I examined God's truth to find the answer. As I forgave all the people who abandoned, hurt and abused me, I found the hardest person to forgive was myself. Repenting for all the ways I felt disappointed in myself and punished myself allowed me to not only survive, but THRIVE! I am enjoying food now, very much, but more than that I am full of joy." -Natasha 

"My relationship with my young adult son was very rocky. I cried constantly because of the pain I had caused him. Even in my good intentions I had hurt and abandoned him. As I prayed and repented for all the hurts I caused and took responsibility for my part in his pain, I was filled with peace. I also forgave him for the pain he caused me. Now, a year later, our relationship is so close. He thanks me for being a great mom! With God all things are possible." -Ellen

"As I look back on that part of my life, it all seems very dark. My youngest son's suicide attempt, the roadblocks to help, and my other son's addiction had left all left me broken emotionally, physically, and at time spiritually bankrupt. I became very depressed because I had lost all hope that life would get better. I wanted out of my pain and just longed to be with Jesus. As I began to see God's truths and reject satan's lies, I started to have hope again. Now I see God was with me through the darkest times and I have hope for the future." -Sarah

"Before connecting with Wellspring Ministries, I was a broken, drug addicted, and people addicted person. I was "frozen" on the inside most of the time. I was full of anxiety and fear and "faking it" through work. All the while I was full of self-loathing and insecurity. Wellspring's principles helped me identify thoughts that were controlling my life. I gained an awareness that my thoughts were either of God or of satan and that I was really in a spiritual battle. I learned I had an important role to play in my relationship with God. Above all else I learned He loved me very much. It was through seeking God's truth and specific intentional prayer that God saved me. Now I am free! I have peace and direction. Any pain from the past has been lifted and I have allowed the Holy Spirit to fill all the spaces that were cleared out. I am secure in Him." -Leigh

"High blood pressure has been a big health factor for me for years. Huge stress levels and severe depression were mostly the cause. My blood pressure has run as high as 260/94. It was life-threatening for sure. Taking meds and supplements brought it down but it was still high.  I was doing prayer counseling and learned I needed to pray through the spiritual strongholds of fear and anger. I prayed and have forgiven those who have hurt me and have repented for my own failures.  The more I prayed about the cause of my fears and forgave those I was so angry with and repented over my sins, my allergies stopped acting up, my stress level went down and my blood pressure is consistently at a healthy range." -Noreen

"Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that causes an allergy to gluten which I dealt with for years.  Eating foods with gluten caused stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. the pain was so bad that I couldn't even stand up straight.  After learning I had Celiac Disease I learned I could control it by not eating foods with gluten in it. It was hard to find foods without gluten. and foods without gluten are tasteless and very expensive. 

I sunk into a deep depression and was being treated by finding my Spiritual/Emotional Strongholds which were anxiety, fear, drivenness, self-hatred, and depression. By praying and repenting and renouncing those strongholds including my unbelief I was healed of the celiac disease. I can now go out and eat with friends or at restaurants. Through God and forgiveness, I am free of celiac disease and I praise God for His guidance and healing. God bless." -Joan

"I have recently gone through a very traumatic season of betrayal and bullying that triggered deep wounds from childhood.  It has been extremely stressful and despite a lot of healing, I ended up with a debilitating migraine.  When I was able to speak with Mary for prayer and ministry, the migraine itself had begun to subside, but was not completely gone, and I felt like I had been hit by a mac truck.   There was still a gripping feeling in my neck and I was exhausted. 

Mary first walked through some practical wisdom that helped us get quickly to some targets and triggers for helping to focus the prayers.  She gently led by the Holy Spirit, to exactly where we needed to go for the healing and truth to come in and bring peace and more wholeness deep deep inside.   The Holy Spirit showed up powerfully and revealed Himself to me as helper in the session.  What a joy to experience God in that way.  It sounds simple but it was profound and powerful.  It changes the way I see the world and gave me a tangible experience that I am so grateful for.  

The blessings continued the next morning in corporate prayer, when the Lord Jesus ministered to my heart by dancing with me and also washing my feet during worship.  

I attribute my ability to receive more openly from the Lord, to the ministry time that Mary walked me through that led me to feel safe, and able to shed the pain of the past betrayal, and be open to the truth of God deep in my body, mind, soul and spirit.  I have had much fruit in being able to hear more from God and experience more peace on a daily basis. I believe that is because the wounds were ministered to so beautifully by the Holy Spirit working in and through Mary and me that day.  My physical pain was gone afterwards, and flexibility returned and I slept very well that evening." -RBE
