From Oppression to Freedom: How Jesus Rebuilt My Life

This deliverance testimony shares how Jesus Christ brought freedom, healing, and restoration after years of spiritual oppression. I surrendered, prayed, and participated in deliverance ministry, and Jesus completely transformed my once-bound life.

Life Before Deliverance

Like many of us, I have a lifelong testimony, but today I want to focus specifically on what God has done in the last year.

I grew up in the Christian church. I received baptism at seven and was rebaptized at twenty-one. Yet despite knowing God, I experienced ongoing spiritual warfare throughout my childhood and into adulthood. Some of this came through ancestral issues, and some through childhood trauma that deeply affected my life.

Everything came to a head in the summer of 2024. It felt like a perfect storm. I lost my job. There was less than $200 in my bank account. Filing for bankruptcy, facing spiritual warfare on every front, on the verge of losing my home, and my family relationships, I was in complete turmoil.

Crying Out to God at Rock Bottom

I reached a point where I had to rebuild my life from the ground up. That season brought me into deep humility, submission, and reverence before the Lord. One day, I found myself alone in a garage, hysterically crying out to God, asking Him to take everything and guide me wherever He wanted me to go.

Soon after, I made a bold move. I relocated sixteen hours away to a new state. God opened the door to a job I had prayed for for years. I found housing. God helped me rebuild my finances and complete the bankruptcy process. I even went through an intensive mental health outpatient program.

But I realized something was still missing.

I knew I had addressed my mental health, but I hadn’t yet reached the spiritual breakthrough God was calling me to. That’s when I found deliverance ministry.

The Deliverance Experience

I attended my first deliverance session, which lasted about three hours. During that time, I surrendered different areas of my life through prayer and forgiveness. What I experienced wasn’t mental — it was spiritual. I could feel things being lifted, removed, and pulled from my body and mind. It was real and undeniable.

When I entered the room, everything felt muted and dark. When I left, the room appeared dramatically brighter — and others noticed I was visibly glowing. That first deliverance was powerful, and the results were immediate. I began to understand that much of what I was facing was demonic oppression.

I learned the importance of full surrender to God and daily obedience. As children of God, we must seek Him, while recognizing that the enemy actively attacks us.That’s why we must put on the full armor of God every single day.

I continued the deliverance process, breaking chains and walking through ongoing freedom. Today, I’m still walking it out — but my life looks completely different.

Freedom and Restoration Through Jesus

I went from having no job, no car, no home, and financial devastation to having two jobs, attending pastoral school, owning a vehicle, maintaining my own home, and rebuilding my credit. God is faithful to His promises of restoration and redemption.

During nights of heavy spiritual harassment, I would fall asleep listening to hours of Bible verses — God’s promises spoken straight from Scripture. I tuned out the enemy by tuning into God’s truth. One of my favorite teachings is Joyce Meyer’s Rooted and Grounded, and it anchored me during attacks.

Staying Free: Daily Surrender and God’s Promises

God showed me that His grace truly is sufficient. My job isn’t to be strong enough — it’s to be obedient and consistent. Even when the enemy whispers, “It’s not working,” I can say with confidence: It is working. I see the fruit every single day.

The devil may roar like a lion, but he has no teeth. I’ve experienced threats and torment, yet I wake up every morning unharmed because God is with me. Like Daniel in the lion’s den, we must look up — not around — and trust the Lord.

Keep Going: A Message for Anyone Still Struggling

What I’ve learned this past year is simple but powerful:
We do not belong to Satan. That is a lie.
We belong to the Lord.
We were created in His image.
Our bodies are His temple.

When things were at their darkest, God spoke three simple words to me — both personally and through others in deliverance: “Keep going.”

That’s the key. Keep praying. Stay in fellowship. Stay in God’s presence. Wherever you can find it — get there. Protect your mind, guard your faith, and keep the shield of faith raised.

God has mighty plans for every single one of us. Keep going.

Sister Philippa has asked to share a testimony from what we call our Training Room. This is where we host different spiritual challenges: Bible reading, warfare, thankfulness, confessions, and more. It’s all part of our online training, along with our prayer rooms and other ministry activities.

Philippa entered this ministry one way, and Jesus radically transformed her. For anyone considering joining the ministry, I hope her words encourage you. 

Philippa’s Testimony

“I began by participating in the prayer room the very next day after I first encountered Deliverance Revolution. I felt strongly that it was important to commit to something and truly stick with it.

What I didn’t realize at the time is that staying committed to the daily prayer room would bring a lot of stability to my life.

I remember one situation clearly. That day I even posted in the group that I might not be able to give my prayer because I had gotten up at 4:30 AM in France, traveled to Germany, worked all day, and wouldn’t be home until late. I was exhausted. But then I remembered that I had promised to pray every day, and I wanted to honor that commitment.

So I said, ‘No — I’m going to do my prayer. I said yes to this.’ And the moment I decided to record it, I suddenly had the energy to pray more intensely and for longer than any of my previous prayers. It was amazing. Saying ‘yes’ to Jesus and offering myself for Him to use gave me strength, freedom, and a refreshing I didn’t expect — especially after such a long day.

This ministry doesn’t just help others; it transforms us as we serve. It also connects us as a group. Being in that prayer room together every day — no matter where we are on the planet — builds a real bond. Knowing that everyone contributes something truly strengthens and encourages us.”

We give Jesus all the glory. And to clarify, she’s referring to the prayer room — a place where we currently have around sixty people, but we’re believing it will grow to three hundred. You go in with others, click a button, and leave an audio prayer for the group to hear. You can make requests, but the focus is not asking for things. It’s seeking the Lord’s face — praying for His presence, His habitation, deliverance, healing, and His will.

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, seek My face, and turn from their sin, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”

That’s the heart of what we’re doing.

Obedience Turns to Favor

Sister Xilo’s Testimony:

I have a financial testimony this time. My husband and I bought this house last year with the sale of our townhouse. We moved in around the middle of August. Recently, as happens every year, our mortgage company reviewed our escrow account to adjust for insurance and property taxes.

At the beginning of October, we got a letter saying our payment adjustment would be about $120. But when we went online to pay our bill, it said our escrow was short by $9,000, and our new monthly mortgage payment was going up by almost $800!

We were like, “Oh man…” because this month has already been tight for us. My husband is an aircraft mechanic, and he gets a small commission bonus each month—usually about $1,000. It’s consistent.

But this month, when he got his paycheck on Friday, his bonus was $1,750—just $50 short of the increase in our mortgage!

It honestly made me want to cry, because $800 is a big deal for us. I even asked him, “Did you do more work this month?” And he said, “No, everything was about the same.” The company’s output hadn’t changed either—it was the same amount of work.

So we both knew what it was—God’s favor.

Pastor Nate’s Response:

Come on now! You already know what it is. God’s blessing you because you’ve been faithfully sowing and tithing into this ministry.

And I’m not talking about $10 a month—you’ve been consistent, obedient, and generous even when times were tight. That’s how God works. He doesn’t just randomly throw blessings around—He honors obedience to His Word.

He’s blessing you, Sister Xilo.

Unhooked by Grace

Sister Rebecca’s Deliverance Testimony

This morning, the Lord woke me up early and led me to worship. Instead of going back to sleep, I obeyed and began worshiping.

How the Hook Got In

While I was in worship, I suddenly started remembering something that happened last September when I was renouncing my old life in Miami. At the time, I had thrown what I thought was a simple going-away party at my friend’s art studio — not realizing they were going to perform witchcraft on me that night.

That night, I used ketamine with them, and in the spiritual realm, something got attached to me. I could literally feel it — like a hook on my face — and for a whole year after that, I carried a heavy oppression over me. It brought confusion, fear, and mental blockage. It felt like torment.

Total Surrender, Total Freedom

Finally this morning, while worshiping and fully surrendering to God, that spiritual hook finally broke off. It literally felt like it came out of me. The oppression lifted, and I could feel freedom washing over me.

Jesus is at the center of my life, and now I’m not chasing deliverance or chasing freedom — I’m chasing Jesus. I love Him so much. God has freed me, and I’m no longer a prisoner to sorcery or darkness. I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. The old things have passed away, and everything has become new. God is so good!

Because of this, Deliverance Revolution is a powerful tool God uses, but you must be willing to do the work. God is so faithful! He answers prayer. If you take one step toward Him, He will hold your hand and lead you the rest of the way.

So, if you’re ready to truly change your life, be all in. You can’t have one foot in and one foot out. I tried that—I stepped away for a few months and came back worse than before. However, when I finally surrendered completely, everything changed.

So, I would absolutely recommend Deliverance Revolution to anyone who’s ready to walk the narrow path, get free, and give their life to Jesus.

To God be the glory — always.

Set Free from Abandonment, Rejection, and Sadness

Email From Laura Booker:

“Praise report: Everything I came to the group with when I first arrived…the strongman of abandonment, rejection, sadness, loneliness, heaviness, and oppression have lifted! I had those since childhood. They led me into all sorts of dark alleys before I found Christ.

I’m following the programme daily. I did what was suggested (baptism), and since I got in the water, my mind is completely renewed. I feel like I have been set free from the shackles I came in with.

My concerns and worries that I used to have, it’s like they’ve been put into perspective. They just seem so petty and insignificant now. I’ve been liberated so I can become of an eternity mindset and focused on how I can be serving the kingdom. My mind is renewed, I live a fasted lifestyle and I’m disciplined in following the programme.

Is it possible my deliverance came just from getting in the water, being in the group, and recommitting my life to following Jesus more closely?

Because it sure feels that way! Plus, I’m speaking in tongues!!!? I got way more out of this than I bargained for. Pastor Nate said it would change my life, and it has! I was tormented for a lifetime and it lifted within one week of being in this group! Praise Jesus’s holy name forever. All praise be to the Father, and the Holy Spirit.

Thank you, Pastor Nate, for shepherding the flock so well and to everyone in the ministry for your fellowship, support, and encouragement.”
