Power Testimonies

 

1. The Breakthrough in the Quarantine Zone

​

One afternoon during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was pushing through a moment of internal resistance while working. A song came on—"Hot Girl Bummer" by blackbear—and the defiance in the lyrics hit me in an unexpected way. I realized I had been feeling like I couldn't meet what I thought were God's expectations. 

In that moment of honesty, I had a massive spiritual breakthrough.

​I became so "intoxicated" in the Spirit that I lost track of my physical surroundings. I ended up walking straight into the heart of a hospital’s restricted COVID-19 quarantine zone to deliver a pizza. 

The nurse was stunned, yelling, "What are you doing here?! You can't be here!" I just laughed and handed her the food. I was so caught up in the glory that the natural boundaries of the world—even a strictly regulated pandemic ward—didn't even seem to exist.

2. Spirit Transporting: The Silent Rescue

​

I was driving my route, listening to the audio Bible and focused entirely on staying in the "glory realm." I wasn't praying for anyone specifically; I was just trying to keep my peace. Suddenly, a man I barely knew from an online ministry called me, weeping with joy.

​

He told me that my spirit had just appeared to him, transporting to his location in a moment of total despair. He was on the brink of suicide, and he testified that my presence there saved his life. I began to weep. It was a humbling realization that when we remain in the glory, God can use our spirits to minister to others without our conscious knowledge.

​

3. The Collapse of Time

​

Time travel is often thought of as science fiction, but in the presence of God, time is fluid. One difficult shift, I turned on the Word and entered a deep state of peace. What felt like an hour at most turned out to be nearly five hours.

​

I realized then that "time travel" in the Kingdom is simply the result of stepping out of the chronos of this world and into God's eternal realm. This phenomenon happens frequently now; I will sit in His presence for what feels like moments, only to realize six hours have passed. When you are in perfect peace, time ceases to be a master.

​

4. The Spiritual Earthquake

​

I once arrived at work after a morning of intense seeking. I felt a literal quaking in my spirit—an unnatural, heavy trembling that my physical body could barely process. When my friend (who was not a believer at the time) walked in, he immediately darted to the bathroom.

​When he emerged, he was sweating and shaken. 

He told me his legs were trembling so hard he could barely stand, and he didn't understand why. In that moment, the "waters broke" and the glory burst through. The power of God was so weighty it was physically shaking the people around me. Over a decade later, I’ve watched that friend's heart soften; he now prays to Jesus daily, and I believe he is on the doorstep of being born again.

​

5. The Transfiguration of Mom

​

My mother is 72 and has struggled significantly with her health, to the point where she could barely function. One morning, after she left the house, I spent two hours in deep prayer, breaking through into the glory.

When she returned, I was stunned. She looked ten years younger. She was walking with a strength and stride I hadn't seen in years, and her face was literally glowing. It freaked me out—I told her, "You look like a different person!" 

She just smiled and said, "God woke me up in a good mood today." I realized that the glory I had accessed in prayer had extended its reach to her physical body.

​

6. A Friend's Dream: Traveling in the Night

​

Our spirits are not limited by our waking hours. After praying for a man for weeks, he sent me a message describing a dream he’d had. He said he dreamt that I was setting up candles and prayibg for him in a very specific way which caused him to give me empanadas right after. 

Just as our spirits can transport during the day, they can travel to people in the night to bring messages, comfort, or breakthrough. This is another facet of the "manifest presence"—that God uses us as vessels of His light even while we sleep.

7. The Yellow Brick Road of Revelation and the Kinetic Filter

There is a distinct way God speaks to those He is calling into deeper dimensions of the walk. He doesn't always deliver a neat, theological essay; because **He does not just talk about the Word—He *is* the Word.** He is the "I AM THAT I AM," and when He speaks, He orchestrates an experience.

Recently, I went through a week-long process of drinking deeply from the Spirit. It was a sequence of signs, film clips, and sudden physical suffering—a breadcrumb trail of revelation that felt like following the yellow brick road or going down the rabbit hole. When God wants to give you a blueprint, an instruction, or a warning, the question is: *How far are you willing to follow Him to get it?*

### Phase 1: The Apocalypse and The Recruitment

It started with a song by Harry Styles, where I kept getting an overwhelming, heavy "apocalyptic" feel. Shortly after, the Holy Spirit began using film—specifically scenes from *X-Men*—to download a message into my spirit.

I kept seeing the character Apocalypse recruiting Magneto. In that scene, Apocalypse simply kills all of Magneto’s enemies for him. It wasn't that they were some all-powerful force; it was just the fact that he completely took care of them. The Lord was speaking clearly to my spirit through that image:

> *"If you serve Me, if I recruit you, I'll destroy all your enemies. I'll get rid of them."*

> 

I couldn't quite shake the weight of that word, and I still didn't fully know what the Magneto piece of it was about yet. But the drink was getting stronger. A couple of days later, I was watching a powerful two-hour teaching from RLMTV. It was a holy burn. I drank in as much of that potent teaching as I could possibly take until I had to turn it off.

### Phase 2: The Kinetic Filter (The Sebastian Shaw Clip)

Immediately after turning off the teaching, I was scrolling through YouTube Shorts and stumbled on a clip of Sebastian Shaw—the mutant who absorbs kinetic energy and blasts it back at people. The clip showed all the scenes of his absorption powers, like when they were shooting automatic rifles at him and trying to blow him up with an RPG. He just absorbed it all and blew it back.

The moment I saw it, a powerful spiritual encounter hit me. God wasn't just giving me a text; He was showing me the *experience* of **Isaiah 54:17**: *No weapon formed against you shall prosper.*

I texted my friends right away and told them, *"I’m about to come under heavy fire. I don't know what it is yet, but God is warning me."* He was showing me that I was going to be like Sebastian Shaw during it. The weapon would form, the fire would come, but it wouldn't overcome me. I was going to absorb it and blow it back in a spiritual sense.

### Phase 3: The Fire of the Cross

Two days later, the ambush hit.

I have bad teeth in the back that need healing badly, but due to money, I haven't been able to get them fixed. Out of nowhere, in the middle of the night, a tooth flared up into absolute crisis.

From midnight until about 6:00 or 7:00 AM, I was in excruciating, 9.5-level pain. Because it was Sunday, all the dental offices were closed. By human definitions, I was completely screwed. The agony was so intense I finally decided I had to head to the emergency room.

Before even leaving the house, I put into action an instruction I had received from a different mentor at Jesus Overflow. Following that blueprint, I turned on worship music—specifically Jackie Baker—and was actively praying in tongues in the midst of the agony.

I got into the car and got all the way down the road. As I was driving through the dark, I continued to pray in tongues, and it just took a minute for everything to really hit and set in. Suddenly, I realized just how much healing I had actually received and how much supernatural peace I was feeling.

The atmosphere shifted completely. I felt God say **Healing**, and the pain dropped from a blinding 9.5 down to a manageable 3 or 4—something I knew I could handle until the next day. I turned the car around and went back home.

### The Takeaway: Following the Trail

This is the mechanics of transformation. God didn't stop the trial from hitting me, but He built the capacity within me days prior to absorb the hit, and He gave me the exact tools and mentorship instructions I needed to navigate it.

Sometimes God's guidance is just a breadcrumb trail. You spend days drinking, soaking, and seeing things, and collectively it all comes together to give you your blueprint, your warning, or your instructions. The enemy meant for that tooth crisis to completely break me. Instead, because I followed the trail, listened to wise counsel, and leaned into the Spirit, everything changed. The pain was brought down tremendously and it didn't overtake me.

Keep your eyes open to how He speaks to you uniquely. He doesn't just talk about the word—He does the word.
