He husband received a warning in church one day as the pastor received a word from the Lord about someone  in the church that was in a deep rooted sexual sin.  The Lord said that this person had one year to repent to the Lord in private. And if he didn’t, he would be exposed, piece by piece, bit by bit. Repentance did not take place, one year passed, and sure enough, that’s when they Lord started to reveal things to Kimberley about her husbands sexual sin. The way that God moved was nothing less than supernatural! Kimberley also shares amazing advice for women who have a husband that is into pornography as well as powerful advice for men!

Join us as I (Alison Liddic) share my personal story of searching for 12 years for answers to my ever evolving health issues.  I was 38 years old and literally felt like I was going to die.  Going up the stairs was a huge task as I felt extreme pain in my joints, and my bones ached from the inside out. Every test was perfect, and my doctors had no answers. But God revealed something called Breast Implant Illness… something that was a totally new term to me!  Once I found out, I went through all the phases pf grief in about 1 week.  I had literally felt robbed of so many years of my life. Years with my children that I will never get back! God led me down all the right paths the more I peeked his face & eventually to a surgeon in Florida to have my implants removed. Every step of the way was answered prayer, after answered prayer! God was showing me through this how amazing He is and how much he cared for me! He was also reaching me about my true identity in Christ Jesus & was taking me back to my heart motives for getting the breast implants in the first place. It’s now been 9 months since my surgery & God continues to heal me with each and every day!  Almost every single symptom I had is 100% gone! Gone! I truly feel like God gave me a second chance to live my life.

Join us as Joanna Ward shares her story of being freed from depression! Joanna grew up in a wonderful Christian home with loving, supportive parents. She lived a very protected life.  In her early 20’s she started to rebel & was living the way that she wanted to live.  She began partying and was drifting away from God. During this time, she had 3 events happen to her in the same summer; She lost the job she loved, had a repressed sexual abuse memory come back suddenly & the guy she thought was “the one” ended up breaking up with her. This was not how it was supposed to be! She ended up depressed and spiraling in the wrong direction.  The enemy took full advantage of that situation and started feeding her lies about herself. Joanna spent the next month planning to end her life. Praise The Lord, her sister found her & it ended with 3 days in ICU, a couple more in the hospital and she was walking out the doors. From there, Joanna battled chronic depression. She was told she would never be off medication again. What she didn’t realize is this was a heart issue! God wants and desires our hearts and her heart was “deceitful above all things and desperately wicked” God started a journey to get Joanna’s heart. Gory be to God who led Joanna through an 18 year journey that ended with her being freed from depression! She now is helping women all over experience freedom through Christ just like she did.

Thank you Joanna for sharing your story!
