 Thank you for coming up here and sharing your incredible testimony. Can you tell us your name and where you are from? So my name is Nellie. I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. Okay, Nellie. And tell us what why did you come here last year in the summer 2018 internship? So last summer before I came here, I kind of was experiencing like like a stagnant like relationship with God. Like I wasn't going anywhere. I wasn't doing anything. I'm like God you're not visible in my life. Like I kind of want like a touch from you and like little did I know God had way more in store. Come on. Now tell us when you came here to the internship, there was a problem that you were facing internally. Can you tell us a little bit of when it started, what was happening with your life and the freedom that you received through the internship? So for about three years, I was being oppressed by a spirit of depression. And so my daily life would look like I'd go to school. I was a good student, but I'd come home and I would sleep all day. I'd watch movies. I was like a couch potato. I wouldn't do anything. And I would have like a really hard time sleeping at night. It got to the point where I'd get like one hour of sleep or it would take me three hours to fall asleep. And it was it was just like it was like I was being tormented at night. And the reason why this depression was like afflicting me was because I had a best friend. I grew up with this best friend. Like she was so dear to my heart. But there was a situation where she betrayed me and I was I was so hurt. And it was like how could somebody who loves me so much hurt me so much? And so it kind of just got to the point where I like I literally just fall off the map. I would stop talking to people. I would isolate myself. I go to school and I just had this like expression. Like it was so sad. Like I didn't care. I didn't want to do anything. Like I just I didn't feel like living my best life. Wow. Now tell us when did you realize that you were actually having a depression problem? When did you recognize? Wow, this is a problem. What happened? So we were in class during the summer internship and we actually had a lesson we had like a week-long lesson about deliverance and so we were naming off the like symptoms and characteristics and I was able to check off each one of them and at that point I was like God, I have a problem. So you realized you had your problem and tell us what happened? How did you receive your freedom? And what does it look like now? So we had a prayer line and we was getting prayed for and like during the prayer line, I received my freedom from that spirit of depression. Yes. Amen. Come on. And so my old life it looked like it was sad. It was it didn't even look like it was worth living. But now it's like it's like I have a new identity. I'm so happy. Like it's like I have a choice to be happy now. Like sadness isn't my identity. Come on. And how do you sleep now? I sleep so good right now. Like it takes me like I fall asleep like that. So I feel great. You guys, I'm a personal witness to this is that when she was here in 2018 you could tell her countenance just by looking at her that there was this grieving sadness about her and I'm telling you that when she came back for the second round and I see her just Smiling and just like just full of bliss and I said I'm like there is you are definitely different And I am a witness and many of you guys are witnesses to that too How God has truly impacted her and has set her free and she's here for the second round now Tell us why are you here again? So actually since last summer like I had this desire like it was like Like God put it there. I just had this desire to come again and just like devote more time to God And Honestly, you can never go wrong with investing more time into God Yes, amen, that's right. Come on You know the you know the dedication of coming here and spending your time and really digging your roots deep Into God and your relationship with God is that is just going to be a multitude of fruits in your life Come on and where this smile is going to change and impact lives. Come on. Amen That is powerful you guys that is powerful that is true freedom that we can experience with Christ now Tell us what would be your word of advice for someone that wants to sign up for internship or you know It's contemplating to encourage maybe their children to come on to the internship What would be your word of encouragement for them? Honestly, if you're debating between going or not going go for it Like take that risk like living that Christian life is all about risks like just do it Like invest more time in God like just do it. Come on. Amen. Thank you so much Beautiful testimony. Amen. Were you guys blessed by that? Amen It's it's also to recognize that maybe you were living a basic life where she just went in and out of her day Where she just saw that it was just a sadness not realizing what that that spirit actually took over Where she was causing her to be isolated where it caused her to have sadness and grieveness and not enjoy the life That God has given us right to live that abundant life and the truth was right in front of her that veil was torn off And she said wow, I want to live on the other side. I want to live a life of joy I want to live a life that God has for me and now she is and like I said, I'm a true witness to that seeing her It's literally day and night difference where she's completely happy and full of joy. It's a beautiful thing. Amen
