Mark, I’ve been blessed by your teaching for several years now and have recently been made aware of a group of angry people gunning for you and demanding for your head on a pike. This is heart breaking.
Thank you for your obedience and staying true to the word and to your calling.
Bless you, Grace and your family. 🎚🇨🇦
God saved me when I was 2 weeks old. I had pneumonia and was in very bad shape. The Doctors prepared my parents to lose me but the next day I was just perfectly fine. It shocked everyone. I didn't grow up in a religious family. It wasn't talked about except maybe on Easter I'd hear about Jesus a little so I knew the story from that but that was about it. When I was 9 I started to see what I called spirits. I am still not entirely sure what they are though I now have some good ideas. The first one I saw was my Grandfather. I watched him float right through the wall, across the room and through another wall. He didn't even look at me or realize I was there. He just looked straight forward. This continued from that time. My family had no idea what to say other than I was seeing things. So I never really got answers. Then I just started to randomly know things. I can't really explain it. It doesn't happen all the time. Just kind of random. Like I knew my Mom was going to miscarry her baby. I kept trying to beg her to go to the Doctor. I couldn't see the baby and that is still the best way I can explain it today. I knew something was wrong. She started spotting and finally went to the Doctor but the Doctor couldn't find the baby's heart beat. She blamed me. Called me a witch said I didn't want her to have the baby. Needless to say I kept that stuff to myself after that. I tried to go to a Church when I was 17 for answers. The answers I got was I had to have some demon in me and that I was basically evil and needed to cast it out. I didn't keep going to that Church and didn't even try another Church after that. I felt like I was cursed. I didn't want to see these things and I didn't want to randomly know things either. In the world it really has a way of making someone feel like they are crazy. I always believed in God and Jesus though. How could I not with the things I could see. I just didn't know much about God or Jesus. I couldn't understand the Bible so I just stopped trying. I wound up turning into such a terrible sinner and I thought God hated me because of the things I was able to see. I really believed I had to of been cursed. When it rained it poured on me and it poured all the time. I never got any peace or let up from it. My husband would say oh you aren't cursed. I think he thought I was crazy. The more he got to know me the more he saw and he finally broke and was like I have never saw so much bad stuff happen to someone. It just is a constant and it is like that for my Mom's side of the family. Not just me. I was just the black sheep that could see things.
Things got so bad that at one point I had something pull me by my ankle down my bed. I would wake up to what I said looked like people floating over me looking down on me or my husband. Shadows reaching for me and the cherry topper was me in my bedroom just trying to relax and watch tv and I heard something that sounded like hooves walking upright down my stairs slowly. I could hear this heavy breathing and this sound that I still can't really describe. The first thought that popped into my mind was Satan. It stopped outside my bedroom door and just was breathing. I was so scared. I refused to get up from my bed and open that door. I just stayed until somebody got home and came down to me. I also refused to sleep in that bedroom after that. I stayed on the couch. I didn't even believe that Satan had hooves or anything like that so it was a very odd and horrifying experience. Funny enough the other night we were watching some things on Angels and they were talking about Satan being a Cherubim and when it got to the spot where it was actually described I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Hooves like a calf. My husband saw the look on my face. I got very pale in that moment.
I stopped doing pretty much all the sins back in 2017. I'm not perfect but I have come a long way. I just didn't like who I was. Something just came over me and I did some self evaluation and I was a terrible person. I decided to change that and changed. We wound up moving from the place we were living in and things eventually started to calm down. I still see things randomly but I am not being tormented how I was.
Then God saved me in December 2022. It wasn't from me seeing something on CZcams or someone coming to me. Nothing like that. It was him and I know it was him. I never felt that kind of love in my entire life. It was the most amazing experience I ever have felt. When that happened it was also like I just understood things that I didn't before. Like the reason I was having all them severe problems was because they were demons and I was attracting them. I was sinning so bad. I was lying, manipulating, an adulterer, had troubles controlling my emotions, and so very selfish. I had this chaos storm going on around me when things were at it's worst. When I stopped with all of that stuff and made some real changes things calmed down. Basically I wasn't feeding them anymore. Now when I hear people say they are dealing with a haunted house and such I ask them about their life because that can play such a huge role in that and I don't think people really realize it. I saw the things and still didn't get it. The only thing I still don't understand is why I could see them to begin with or why it even started. Maybe it was for me to warn people that evil really does exist. I still see things but it just isn't the same. It really is a night and day difference. But God cleared some of that up. Everything just made sense. That's the best way I can explain it.
Ever since then I have been completely devoted and I spend most of my day learning. Another gift God gave me that I never really realized was a gift before was how quickly I can learn things. In 7 months I am teaching my Dad things about the Bible. I went from not understanding it to understanding it and then helping teach. This is because of God and I know it. And all the bad things that were happening has calmed down too for me. I learned about Generational Curses while on my learning path and am thinking something like that is on my Mom's side of the family. I have tried to explain it to my other family members but they don't want to hear it. I wish they would and always Pray that they turn to God. I don't know if that is for sure what is going on though it does make sense. My family is riddled with health issues with no answers from the Doctors. They don't know the cause. Like I have some Ms style symptoms and peripheral neuropathy. It started when I was 34 or 35. I just turned 41. They don't know why. I have other family members that have the same kind of thing going on. My Mom was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy at 34 and she died at 52. Like I said just so much bad things that keep getting thrown at us. I keep Praying for God to heal me. I hate being in pain all the time but if it happens it happens. I know he has a purpose for everything and I trust him.
Sorry for the long story and God bless to anyone who managed to get through it. I don't have any real ways to sum it up and that was the best I could do. If I would of went into detail on how God saved me it would be so much longer so this is summing things up for me. Thank you for reading.
Speaking your testimony is powerful❤ thank you for sharing.
To new Christians.
After 47 years as a Born Again Christian I suggest you spend a lot of time reading your Bible.
I would first focus on the Gospel of Mathew along with Proverbs and Psalms.
Also take a close look at Acts Chapter 8: 9-24.
26:50 gives an interesting explanation of healing and what to do with the medical field.
As always, scriptually accurate and sound doctrine expounded powerfully. Bless you and all that minister with you Mark.
beautiful sermon one of my favorites . thank you
What are your thoughts on a preacher who doesn't pastor his congregation? 🤔
Jesus said to preach/proclaim the Word. He also says to all of us Acts 1:8 that you will receive power to be a witness to the lost, to share His forgiveness and offered friendship. That is amazing grace to all of us. may He make you a blessing too, May God bless you honey ...in the power of His love.
