~This is my story~
Walking in the path with Jesus and my testimonies:
I have been called to share with you some of the precious moments where God has worked in my life, showing His grace and leading me closer to Him.
*In 1980 I had a near-death experience in New Orleans after a surgery. The nurse asked me to get up and walk across the room and to sit on a chair. As I was walking with her help, I had a sense of detachment and observed my own body sitting in that chair as I elevated. I saw and heard the nurse calling for help. My mom and my ex-husband were there.
I went through a tunnel and I saw up high a bright, splendid light. I had an intense feeling of peace, joy, and unconditional love. I wanted to stay just there but I heard God’s divine, indescribable voice telling me ‘It’s not your time yet’~
That experience changed the way I have lived my life on Earth, giving me hope for the future, not being afraid of death, and trusting in God’s timing.
In John 8:12 Jesus says “I am the light of the world”
I can tell you for sure that there is light at the end of the tunnel. ❤️
In June 2023, I retired after many years of working hard. At that time, I had no plans for my retirement. The only scheduled activity I had was my dance time for fun. A few days later, I woke up with a desire to join a Bible Study. I did that, and I have been going every Wednesday morning since then. It has been a powerful learning experience, helping me to understand and apply Scripture to my daily life through God’s work.
-In August 2023, I went to see an Orthopedic doctor for shoulder blade pain. He did an X-Ray and said that I should be more concerned about my thyroid and advised me to see a specialist.
-In September 2023, I had an ultrasound done on my thyroids ordered by my PCP.
It showed two small nodules on the right side and one big on the left side.
The results of the left thyroid’s nodule showed as TI-RADS Level 3: Mildly Suspicious. It was recommended to have a fine-needle aspiration biopsy.
In October 2023, my husband Jeff and I were invited to the Revival at Free Chapel, Gainesville.
It was our first time attending that church.
I was singing along and praising God. Suddenly, I found myself repenting, crying, and I started to speak fast words I could not understand, but I could feel the depth of the words. My arms were raised, my emotions were so strong, I was almost breathless, and I went down on my knees. I was so confused about what just happened, but I was so happy— a kind of happiness that no words can explain.
I learned later that I was Baptized by the Holy Spirit, receiving the Spiritual Gift of Tongues. I experienced God’s power. Everything about me changed that day forever.
The Holy Spirit is empowering me to be a dynamic witness for Jesus. This is just the beginning of a new journey— my journey with our Lord.🙏🏻🕊️
At that moment, I knew that I needed to be planted in Free Chapel. Jeff and I started to attend this extraordinary church, listening to Pastor Jentezen Franklin and our local pastor, Tim Price. We committed to actively participating with a sense of belonging and spiritual nourishment.
I started searching for answers about my new spiritual gift and I realized that speaking in tongues is a way to give God the glory while bringing me closer to Him. I learned that the only requirement to speak in tongues is to be a Christian for one second. When I speak in tongues, my spirit is talking to God, and I don’t need to understand. I’m speaking in mysteries. It’s not limited by my mental abilities. It strengthens my spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 talks about the manifestation of the Spirit.
In December 2023, my functional medicine doctor ordered a blood test and referred me to an ENT who did the thyroid biopsy.
The results showed as a 50% risk of malignancy. The ENT doctor called me and highly advised me to remove the left thyroid and to make an appointment ASAP for the surgery. A few days later, I canceled the appointment. I prayed and I just kept telling myself that God is healing me and the cancer is gone!
On Jan 15, 2024, I met with my precious friend Candie, and she prayed intensely for me. Then she texted me: ‘I am happy you chose me to share your experience with and your struggle. God has a plan for you which has made you a target for the destroyer! Hang tight with your Christ-believing supporters! Jehovah Rapha, the healer, has broken the chains, and you are the healed!’🩷
On January 18, 2024, I met with my beautiful friend Dawn for lunch. I shared my spiritual experiences and my first testimony. I also shared about the results of my thyroid biopsy. Before we left, she prayed for me. 🩷 Then she texted me.
”I am grateful for your gift of love, bright cheeriness, and sharing of Jesus with me! You really made my day hearing all about your wonderful news. You have always impressed me with your caring, smiling, tenderness. I love how you tune into my life when we are together and give your one-on-one greetings all the time. I will continue to pray for your uncertain time and know that you will receive wisdom as to how to move forward. Love you, Judy 🤗 ❤️”
In January 2024, my PCP ordered another blood test and referred me to an endocrinologist who ordered another ultrasound for April 2024.
In February 2024, I texted and shared my thyroid diagnostic with our Pastor Tim at Free Chapel, Alpharetta, and he prayed for me 🩷
In April 2024, I had the ultrasound done. The results of the thyroid’s nodule showed as “TR4- Moderately Suspicious.”
After my endocrinologist saw the results, I told her that I believe in the power of God and that He is my healer. I told her that I was praying for a miracle. She smiled and advised me to make another appointment for September .
In June 2024, I was Baptized in water by Pastor Tim. 🙏🏻 I had the chance to share my first testimony, and I declared my faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Praise the Lord!!❤️
In August 2024, Jeff and I started a two-year Course of Discipleship in Free Chapel. 🙏🏻❤️ It has been helping us to grow in spiritual maturity with God’s guidance through prayer and Scripture. It shows us our gifts and how to use them to serve our Lord and others.
-In Sept 2024, I went to see my endocrinologist again and told her that I still believe in miracles and that God is my healer. She said she believes and asked me to go back in another 6 months.
She ordered another ultrasound for April 1, 2025.
In Feb, 2025, I met with my new sweet friend, Karen, whom I met through my wise and wonderful School of Discipleship teacher, Coretta.💕
Karen and I had a long, beautiful, and spiritual conversation during lunch. However, I didn’t mention my thyroid condition. She recommended visiting her church the next Friday, and she prayed for me 🩷
On March 7, 2025, I attended her church. After we worshiped for an hour, the pastor started calling people to walk close to the stage for specific sickness to be healed. When he called people with cancer, I told Karen at that moment about my thyroid , but I told her that I believed God was already healing me. She convinced me to walk to the stage. The pastor asked me a couple of questions and prayed as he touched my forehead. He said that God had healed me at that moment in the name of Jesus and that the results of the test would show “0” percent chance of cancer!!!
I praised the Lord and spoke in tongues as he blessed me.❤️
After that, I was approached by a lady named Beth, who said the Holy Spirit spoke to her and said He had so much more for me to do. That I was walking in the Spirit . That I was in a stable place with authority, and people would recognize that. He was bringing me high up for His Glory. Before we left, my friend Karen said that was a prophetic word , a message from God ❤️
One of the nights when Jeff and I were praying together, he asked God to heal me. ❤️ When he finished with his prayer, he heard me praying along and thanking God because I knew He already healed me. Then I told Jeff that I understood clearly that the miracle was done but not manifested yet because God was waiting for me to surrender, to obey, to completely trust in His plan for my life, and to transform my mind to not only believe but know for sure that He is my healer. ❤️
In March 2025, during the Wisdom Club luncheon at Free Chapel, our friend Joe Marino, the organizer, told me and Jeff about one of the ladies in our group named Jordan whose friend was miraculously cured from cancer during a healing service at Katherine Krick’s church in Los Angeles. ❤️
I was so interested in knowing more about it that I listened to her books in Audible: ‘The Secret of the Anointing’ and ‘Unlock Your Deliverance’. They both are amazing books! She has a way of teaching that is so powerful and profound, yet easy to understand.
On April 1, 2025, I had the ultrasound done. Before I left, the ultrasound technician looked concerned and asked me what the doctor had said about the big nodule on the left side. I told her that after the first biopsy, the ENT wanted to remove the left side of the thyroid gland.
A few days later I received the results of the thyroid’s nodule. It showed as “TR5-HIGHLY Suspicious,” and the nodule was bigger.
In April 2025
My new beautiful friend, Xenia, and I met for lunch. She attends Free Chapel. We shared some of our stories, and she prayed for me. She texted me later: “There is nothing too great that God cannot heal. I join with you in agreement for total healing.”
On April 6, 2025 I called my daughter Janet and shared the news about the results of the ultrasound. It had been over a year since we spoke about my thyroid. As I told her the series of events, she was quiet on the phone. She later shared with me how that very morning she was at her church and they were talking about the power of the Holy Spirit and the complete surrender to God. In worship, she had this overwhelming feeling that something might happen to me. As her eyes filled with tears, she then felt this sense of relief and contentment, knowing in her heart that I would be okay because she knew that I was at peace with God. After she and I spoke that day, she shared how she was speechless, and that God had prepared her for that moment. Her faith was then tested as she understood the meaning of fully putting your trust in the Lord.
On April 15, 2025, I met with my new amazing friend, Jordan, whose friend was healed from cancer in Los Angeles. We had a powerful conversation about our lives and our spiritual journeys. When we talked about speaking in tongues, she asked me if I ever sang in tongues. She said that while I pray in the Spirit and praise the Lord, I may begin to sing in tongues . I was fascinated by that awareness. Before we left, she said she believed that I was healed already and she prayed through the Holy Spirit for me.
On April 20, 2025, I spoke with my daughter, Janet, about the procedure I was having the day after. I told her I was not worried about it, and she prayed for me ❤️
That morning, Pastor Tim, at the end of his amazing Easter service in Free Chapel Alpharetta, called three groups of people to walk close to the altar: people that need physical healing. People whose souls are tired and need to be refreshed. He also called people who want to walk in resurrection power, to be used for God’s glory. People who want to let God’s power move through them and be vessels for other people that are in need of support and guidance.
I felt the need to follow Pastor Tim’s invitation and walked to the front. It was a powerful moment where the Holy Spirit showed his mighty power❤️
On April 21, 2025, I had a biopsy done at the ENT office.
On April 23, 2025, just before I fell asleep to take a short nap, I put my phone on silent and I asked God to use me as a testimony for His glory. I said that I would spread my story as a proof of His infinite power and love. I had a sudden understanding that the purpose of my life on Earth was to fulfill God’s plan, embracing His will even in difficult times, and bring glory to Him.
I fell asleep and a couple of minutes after, I opened my eyes with the urge to see the phone and saw two missed calls from the ENT nurse. I called back and she said the results of my biopsy were negative; it did not show any cancerous cells.
PRAISE THE LORD!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
On April 24, 2025,
I had a breakthrough while walking on the treadmill and listening to the last part of the book ‘Unlock Your Deliverance’. At that moment, I was thanking Jesus for everything. It was a clear moment of understanding that led me to a deeper sense of connection with God. I started speaking in tongues, but this time, my voice started rising with heartfelt emotion and mixing it with a divine singing in high tones that I surely cannot reach on my own. ❤️.
Ephesians 3:20 talks about God’s power. That it is not limited by our requests or thoughts…it exceeds them abundantly.
Also, Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 14:14, “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.” And
Paul encourages us to pray with both the spirit and the mind, as well as to sing with both the spirit and the understanding.
On April 28, 2025, Jeff and I finished our first year of the School of Discipleship at Free Chapel, Alpharetta. This 2-year, semester-based certificate program consists of four 12-week phases to help us grow in spiritual maturity. They were guided by some of our experienced teachers, Coretta and Mike. I cannot thank them enough for their wise, loving leadership and commitment.
I witnessed the power of God and learned that we are not limited to earthly help. I knew that He had already healed me and He was waiting for me to get enough courage to take a step of complete faith, put on my garment of praise, and surrender to Him so the miracle could be manifested.
I learned that I should not be anxious or impatient about waiting for things to happen in my life, because God knows the best time for everything. I learned that my own perception of time does not align with God’s perfect plan.
I am ready and equipped to be what God has called me to be.
🎶 “I sought the Lord and He heard, and He answered”🎶
What a mighty, awesome God we serve! He healed me! He is so wonderful! I just want to be a walking, talking testimony for Him just to let people know that God is real. If you place your trust in Him, He acts, and He answers. I am living proof! Thank you, GOD!I praise Your Holy Name! Aleluya!
I pray that you also encounter His unconditional Love with peace, joy, and a deep sense of connection as He moves through your life.❤️❤️❤️
Amen!
