Hey guys, this is my testimony for cc4 camp from my blog post
We had a long break before and right before, a lot of people around me were scared. We entered the room.
We sang a few songs. I really prayed very hard for me to feel the Spirit flow. The first time I was prayed over, I fell. My eyelids started twitching- a physical sign for me that the Spirit is aflow- and I lay down there for the longest time feeling light as a feather.
I got up again and started singing. Somehow, though, I felt unhappy. There was something in the room that was making me feel unhappy. I closed my eyes again and started singing. I saw Dwayne fall. He was singing and suddenly, he fell forward, flat, his cheek against the wooden floor, palms face down on either side of his head. His fall had a huge thump to it and timmy, sitting next to Dwayne, looked at me with his mouth open. Next, Marcus Tyler fell and I heard him sobbing like a baby. It was amazing because Tyler had told me before we entered the room that he had never gotten slain and he really hoped he would and I told him to free his heart. It was a really big deal for him.
Next thing I knew, my head felt very light and my knees, very weak as if I could no longer hold myself up. I sank down to sit and continue singing with my hands uplifted and felt so light until I felt myself fall back for the second time and apparently, my head knocked on the group with a tock!. According to Timmy, Tyler fell on Dwayne's leg and I fell on Tyler's leg. Timmy said he first saw Dwayne fall, then Tyler and next thing I fell pretty badly and he was wondering if he should help me...what if I had a concussion? Haha...funny, tim!
Bob as well, saw all his classmates fall one by one and he was a bit freaked out.
Anyway, right after the second time, I got up and suddenly, I felt the burning urge inside me to confess that sin to my mum upstairs. The Spirit was telling me, nudging me hard. I tried to surpress that urge, but it became unbearable. Not knowing what I was doing, I got up and went to Sham, Melissa's boyfriend and he looked at me weirdly for a second and then I said "Sham, I've got to see my mother" who was upstairs (the parents had come, they had a powerhouse upstairs, they were praying that we would receive the Holy Spirit that night) and at first, it was if he didn't register until I said "I need to see my mother!" and then he spoke to Michelle who led me up the stairs. Fear overtook me, it didn't make any sense to be confessing it! Michelle went into the room and somehow, she didn't appear for the next 5 minutes!
Shivering and almost about to burst into tears, I crouched by the stairs. Oh Lord, I prayed, you got me here. Why did you bring me here? There is no turning back! I'm love scared, Lord, love scared! and almost immediately, my mum walked up the stairs with my sister. She wasn't in the room! She went downstairs, perhaps to get a drink, and she happened to come up JUST when I was looking for her! I collapsed into her arms and the moment I confessed, I felt my father's hands on my shoulder. RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT! My dad came out of the room, I was in my mum's arms and sobbing and crying and I felt so relieved that the truth was out!
I cried and cried. What struck me most was the courage. I died to myself and I was free. Satan had no hold over me anymore. after quite a long time, I went back down and they were still having praying over. Dwayne was still on the floor, and I was still sobbing. I sat down and couldn't stop crying. I cried and cried and cried and I remember Marcus giving me a hug and Alesia passing me atissue and giving me a hug too. Then, because they had stand in parents, one of them came over to me and bent down and hugged me tightly and whispered how much Jesus loved me. I cried even more.
Then, they asked those who wanted praying over to receive spiritual gifts to stand, so I did. That moment, I saw Jeremy kneel down next to Vincent and put his arms around Vincent and hug him tightly. Suddenly, thoughts exploded in my head. I wanted Jeremy to come over and hug me too, for everything to be right between us. Then I said NO, Lord! This is not about Jeremy, not about me, its about YOU! With Jeremy and me, not my way but YOUR WAY! I surrender, Lord. I give it to you. Lord, show me, a sign, show me something...
And at that moment, Ben appeared at my elbow. He asked how I was and I just reached out and was enveloped into a very warm and long hug.
Then, I got prayed over the last time. For the third time, I felt as light as a fetaher and the spirit come into me and I let go. I fell.
I remember, when I opened my eyes, I felt some people behind stepping on my hair (they were praying over the person behind me) I sat up and felt this enormous wrench from my scalp, I could feel my hair snapping from my scalp, a huge bunch of it. However, when I turned behind, THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE FLOOR! I swore, I could FEEL the hair, it was painful, yet there was nothing!
So many more miracles happened that night... Timmy's knee was healed, Marcus Tyler, NIGEL TESTIFIED!...Colette got slain and got the gift of tongues, Sylvia was given bible verses for Shaun and Bryan, Veronica got a message from God through Dwayne. It was an amazing night.
What struck me was that I had surrendered my sin to Jesus and asked him to make it better. Fear goverened my heart and I asked him and he made it better, his way. He gave me the courage and because of that, I'm a better person!
Also, all those unhappy feelings and thoughts.... that was Satan trying to push them into me, that dark entity in the corner of the room many people said they felt... Joanna, Tyler, Jeremy...
But we overcame it!
HALLELUJAH, FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE!
