 I'm gonna help me to welcome another testimony to the front as Evelyn gonna come to the front to share her testimony So she started coming to her church four months ago. Her whole family they drive to tri-cities every Sunday and Wednesday from Walla Walla So shame on those that come late that live in tri-cities So I always find interesting to find out how people hear about this church Her dad went to encounter with one guy that he met from Spokane They had encountered Seattle. They met each other in In Seattle and so that man he's like hey, I'm going to John T conference. Do you think you can host me? It's kind of close from you. It's in tri-cities So that guy from Spokane comes and he stays over in Walla Walla for John T conference And so that guy brings him over to John T And so that's how they've been introduced to our church and then becoming here ever since then and so Evelyn she has a testimony for us this morning. I want you to share it with us Hi, so um my testimony is healing from back pain. I Used to have back pains since like middle school. That's when they became really bad I kind of like on both my mom's and my dad's side. They've had problems with back pains and And like when I was little I would jump on trampoline a lot, you know do flips and things like that and then after a while as I started growing and then in middle school I started wearing a one-strap backpack like a side bag and I would always wear it on the same shoulder and it weighed down on that shoulder And I noticed it started to mess with my back and like all those different things come by and kind of really started to mess with my back muscles and so my back has started getting very It would get stiff very easily if I'd be sitting in one position too long like Usually if I'd be sitting on a like straight bench like playing piano or even if I'd be sitting on a soft chair like a couch If I'd be in one position for too long Sometimes too long is 10 minutes my back would start to get stiff And it was usually like a knot or like a clinched nerve And when I try to rub it out it would only make things worse the pain would only spread and I'd try to use Heating pads and those wouldn't help either. I'll just wake up hot and in pain and and So yeah, I made lots of things hard to do just basic things like sometimes I couldn't Sometimes I would lay in bed actually if I'd be trying to just lay and rest I'd be laying on my bed and I couldn't lay flat because my lower back would be stiff and it would be hurting and I would have to either be sitting up or like Curve my back so that it wouldn't hurt and so I'd only be able to lay on my sides and things like that What did doctors say about your back pain? We went to a doctor for a checkup for something else And then they thought to check for scoliosis and I thought that I had scoliosis I thought that we're in the backpack Misaligned my spine and so I'm like that's probably what it is And so I asked them to check it and they feel my spine and they're like you're fine Your back is normal and I'm like but I have all these pains that don't go away no matter what I do What is that? And they're like well, maybe it's just you know nerves may like just muscles basins, you know But I was like nothing helps with what am I supposed to do about this? I it didn't come to me that it's something I necessarily need to be healed from I what I was focusing on is like healing my shoulder, but Back pains maybe it did once or twice. I did pray about it, but for the most part I just thought it was something I had to deal with Why did you accept it your back pains? I was used to them I guess because I figured I did it to myself wearing the one strap backpack and Playing around on the trampoline jumping a lot. I figured I did it to myself, you know And so I had to live with my mistakes. How did you receive your healing? So a few weeks before we started coming here before we found out about hunger generation I went to encounters over in Seattle, which for those of you who don't know they're kind of like prayer line, but over like a few day period and And over there we I came mostly for deliverance from some things and healing wise I was I think I was only thinking of my shoulder maybe a few other things but I was focused on my shoulder, and I don't think I even thought twice about my back But then afterwards after we'd already been coming here for a few weeks, and I signed up for prayer line We were sitting out in the gym Waiting to be like pulled out to be spoken to individually like what's your what are you coming here to get delivered from and stuff? And we're sitting there, and I think someone mentioned something about back pains I don't remember what they said, but Something just clicked in my brain, and I was like wait a minute. I haven't had any back pains Since that encounter I didn't even realize it and the thing is the reason God remember I think God reminded me of that right at that moment is to strengthen my faith because The mindset I'd had for the longest time is if you if you receive any kind of healing or anything You have to fight for it in faith. It's gonna the pain is gonna come back the Whatever anger something is gonna come back, and you're gonna have to fight gonna fight off the doubts with declarations with prayers And hope that it goes away, you know that that was my faith I felt like I had to fight for it myself and hope God would come through But then here I was sitting and God told me I healed you from back pain. You didn't have to fight a bit It was all me and that just made me realize, you know, how big my God is that That he it's not me. It's him that does it and I just have to trust in him And how long has it been that you have not had back pain been like four and a half maybe five months already And you have had them since middle school Since middle school. Yeah, if not earlier and what is your advice today to the people that maybe are having back pains? Trust in God For the most part know that It's not your battle to take on it's not you alone against the world against all these things you have to put your faith and your trust in God ask him and Believe that he will come through and like for those of you that come for prayer lines and things like that I know we like to come with like a list of all these things We need to get freed from and healed from and if that doesn't happen where like God You didn't come through, you know But he started with my back pains, which is not something I thought not something I had in mind I didn't even think of it, but that healing that Boosted my faith and that's where God started working on me is where I didn't expect him to so be open to However, God will touch you and wherever he will heal you whatever he'll deliver you from be open to to that the way that God works and The fact that he doesn't always work the way you want him to Amen, let's put our hands together for Jesus Christ
