-
Nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. I am
-
your host, Matthew. Tonight we are doing another testimony, this time from
-
our sister Tammy. So she has been with this ministry for over a decade,
-
and what a wonderful ride it's been. I've seen a lot of change
-
out of Tammy and a lot of growing and a lot of interacting, and
-
it's amazing what has taken place, the amount of growth that she and I,
-
our relationship has had over the past over over ten years. So Tammy,
-
you have the floor and give it to a straight Just give it to
-
as how it is, so you've got the mic. Well, when I
-
was a little girl, I felt very spiritual things. In fact, when
-
I was about three or four, I had thought that I hadn't seen a
-
tooth fairy, and it was this being that was glowy, glittery and one
-
glowe care with like glowy dust around it, and I ran to tell my
-
mom and she's like, you're sleeping. You were sleeping and you're just dreaming.
-
And I was pretty sure I saw something. That was the very first
-
time that I could see something. And then later on, my mom had
-
this friend who had MS and she went around all these faith healers, so
-
I had I had encountered that experience where she kept going seeking healing and then
-
you kept telling her, well, you're in sin because you're not getting healed.
-
You're smoking, that's why you're not getting healed, that kind of thing,
-
and it devastated her. So I kind of lost faith in that that
-
the healings could take place because of that experience. And I watched a lot
-
of Evangelista on TV as I was getting older, you know, and I
-
believed I got saved by all these things because being taken my mom taking me
-
to church all the time when I was little. So every time there was
-
an altar call, I was like the first one up there because I wanted
-
I wanted to be saved, I wanted to be with the Lord. And
-
then that book came out late Great Planet Earth with Hal Lindsey and all of
-
that information about the rapture and the Mark of the beast being like a bar
-
code and all that I learned about through reading those kinds of books. But
-
it gave me nightmares because my dad wasn't saved quote unquote, although he grew
-
up with Lutheran and the Lutheran Church, he wasn't saved because he wasn't going
-
to the Pentecostal churches. He didn't have that born again experienced like I had
-
been hearing about. And so I had nightmares. My dad's gonna get left
-
behind. You know, we're gonna get taken. My dad's gonna be here
-
by himself. So something to sit right with me then, But I kind
-
of let it go, and it's side because when you get to your teenage
-
years and you start hanging out with kids and getting through some of that rebellious
-
period of time. But then when I met my husband and I started having
-
kids, I went back to church. They were little, and you know,
-
I wanted them to go to church and learn about the Lord. So
-
we went all the time. In fact, I even was singing in a
-
choir. However, my husband was not a well man. He had PTSD
-
from military service, so there was a period of time when I had to
-
get in order for protection, and I just went through so much grief and
-
because I had that experience where I didn't think God healed people, you know,
-
I kind of lost the faith and went into another big, huge kind
-
of rebellion. But it made me vulnerable. I had a dream, now
-
this is a series of dreams, when I was putty at a low lower
-
point, wanting to get out, and I in my dreams, I felt
-
this every day like I had a succession where I relived a lifetime and in
-
each lifetime it was always with the same person, Like I felt like I
-
had a soul mate out there. And that's I know that's totally not scriptural
-
now, but at the time I believed it because it was so real and
-
it downloaded into my psyche all these things that I could do. In fact,
-
like with I want to say, it had dragons and magic and witchcraft
-
and all this like Merlin, all that stuff, and it felt real like
-
I could, you know, like I was living it. So that set
-
me off on a on a path where I got into some serious trouble,
-
got away from the Lord and went into big rebellioushed time. And during that
-
time there were periods where like I had a car accident. I felt like
-
if I had died in that car accident, I was going to go to
-
hell because I was in such a rebellious I knew in my spirit that because
-
I was living in a rebellion, I would not go to heaven, even
-
though I had accepted Jesus when I was a girl, when I was little,
-
so I knew that something was wrong. But it took me asking the
-
Lord to get me out of that situation for me to get out of the
-
situation because I had a scar on my psyche from those dreams. And it
-
was about two thousand and seven when I graduated college and the economy collapsed.
-
I couldn't find a job, and we went we went on a vacasion.
-
That's when I had started asking how to get me out of the mess I
-
was in. So that was a turning point, or started that turning point
-
because I wasn't ready to get myself out of of it. God removed the
-
situation from me, and I kept trying to get myself back in it,
-
like kind of getting back into chill because I had believed so strongly those dreams,
-
and it was terrible because I had to fight that in my own mind
-
that I had to fight that battle in my mind, and you know,
-
realizing what was going on when that earthquake in Japan happened, I'm like,
-
oh wait a minute, you know what time's getting short and all that stuff
-
that I was doing. If I had if I you know, God's going
-
to bring jesuit. I need to get right with God. So I started
-
seeking different ministries and I was listening to like La mar Zuli, and that's
-
when I found your ministry, and it clicked with me because you you were
-
teaching well that that perhaps your thing isn't you know, that's a that's that's
-
another story that we don't need to you know. It clicked with what you
-
were saying, with what I had already felt was wrong, that they were
-
teaching wrong. And so the more I listened to you, the more hungry
-
I got to get right with the Lord and to change my life around and
-
to learn what the truth was. So I am extremely grateful for you and
-
your ministry because I've learned so much and come back full circle to being right
-
with God and wanting that for my children. And I'll tell you, I
-
am grateful my children are aren't coming to church, and not not all of
-
them are less because I still have kids that well I'm not sure about,
-
but I keep praying for them too. But what I did doesn't curse them,
-
if you know what I mean. So yes, yes, I know
-
what you mean. Those things can certainly be passed down not only to children,
-
but they can be passed across the siblings. They can be passed up
-
to parents and grandparents. And yeah, we've certainly prayed for your children for
-
years now. Yeah for you and and your husband, we've also prayed for
-
for him for years now. So you know, I need you to point
-
out where this break was. So this break was in two thousand and seven.
-
Well it started then, yes, yes, but it took a long
-
time for my my thinking to change because I had I had that in my
-
brain that was so strong, like it just you know, I didn't want
-
to let it go, and it was hard to get away from that.
-
When they when they put something like that like downloaded into you and you think
-
it's real, it's hard to it's hard to break it off of you.
-
And I don't think I was wearing the forearmer of God. Obviously it would
-
have protected me if I had nailed that. But like when I was in
-
college, I'll tell you some of the things I did. I got into
-
shamanism and all of that, and I can tell you that stuff. It's
-
scary. It's scary because you can be attacked in your dreams. It can
-
be physically like puled out of your body. Like you don't want to have
-
these things happen to you. So what I'm saying is trying to warn people
-
not to do these things, to get away from it. If you're attracted
-
to new age or alternative healing or any of that stuff, don't even start.
-
Don't even start. Don't look for the grasses greener On the other side,
-
I got to the point where I put a person above God. God
-
had to take that away for me to see what was going on with me
-
and for me to seek Him and to seek healing and to seek forgiveness and
-
to repent. I had to be broken. I had to be shattered,
-
yeah, completely shattered, to be remade. And so I take it that
-
your marriage survived this event. Yes, And I'm grateful and I'm blessed because
-
David, my husband, he is a good man. He's a good husband,
-
he loves his children, he loves me, and despite what happened to
-
him, he believes in the Lord. And you know when he was when
-
he was well, was hey boo. Because now he's got dementia. So
-
I'm just gonna say that the dementia helped him to not remember bad things that
-
happened to him. But before that, he was seeking the Lord. He
-
was listening to different ministries, like I'll just name the one that he would
-
he would order tape from Jack van Impi and he would listen to them,
-
you know. So he does. And he even now when he was coherent
-
enough to buy stuff, he'd like ordered a clock that would chime scripture.
-
So I mean, he just he loves the Lord too. He does believe,
-
so you know, he tries even though he's got dementia and he's got
-
mental illness, he's still Yeah, it's it's the Lord. The Lord has
-
us. Because I can see the blessings from all of this too, that
-
God, despite everything, such a tremendous amount of blessing that we have because
-
He's taken care of us through all of this. And so let me ask
-
you this, So these dreams that you downloaded dead created an alternate reality.
-
I felt like I had a past life, several of them that I relived
-
them to the point where I woke up crying because I felt the emotions of
-
them. I mean, it was so real, it was scary real.
-
And was this just one night or was there no? Several nights? Yeah,
-
several days, several nights in a row. Yeah, like about six
-
of them or seven of them, I want to say, I can't.
-
I can't remember how many now. But each one was a different lifetime,
-
and each one had the same person in it, and I knew, I
-
knew, like I knew their spirit or their soul, and I actually ended
-
up meeting what I thought was that person who also remembered the same things as
-
I did. Now it was even more scary. Yes, like not only
-
attacked me, but they had that person as well. They now want one
-
person the same thing into another person. So yeah, let's be clear here.
-
How long were these memories? You mean a whole life? You you
-
got a whole life downloaded into you? Well, like the highlighted parts,
-
yes, the main parts, And what I remembered were the most emotional parts,
-
Like I could remember what I was wearing, I you know, how
-
things looked, how things felt, you know, like being somewhere and feeling
-
like this the stone wall, sitting where I was sitting and everything it was
-
vivid. Well, Kevin, what time frame was it, like within a
-
period of about a week. I'm thinking it was about a week. Yeah,
-
it was every day downloaded? Like, yes, that's not what I
-
mean. In what historical time frame was this dream? Was it? No?
-
No, They're all different lifetimes, different time tries, I would say,
-
like prehistoric or medieval Europe, Japan, China, like the Western United
-
States, like the Old West, you know, wild wild West. Yeah,
-
just all these different eras. So what was going on in these dreams?
-
What were you doing bad things? Was it normal things? Were you
-
just hanging out the clothes? Yeh? Like in in a lifetime in Japan,
-
I was it was like the showgun era, and I was in I
-
remember sitting in a garden and it had like the cooy pond there and the
-
wall around it, and it was like the castle, like the cat.
-
I was like the princess in the garden, and I had a guard that
-
was a showgun and there was a ninja in the tree kill me and decided
-
not to kill me. And then that night, I went to bed,
-
and he left a little you know those little paper things that they make,
-
got little fish and cranes and stuff, and left it on my pillow,
-
you know, on mycon to tell me he was there. Yeah. And
-
then you you mean an oregon? Yeah, oh yeah, So inside the
-
dream you went to sleep and woke up and found an origami from this ninja.
-
Yes, but not in real life. This is in the dream still
-
right in the dream. Well, yeah, that is highly suspect. You
-
realize how highly irregular that is to be in a dream and go to sleep
-
and wake up in a dream. Mm hmm. That's normally, that's normally
-
not experienced. So that raises questions with me right off the bat. Something
-
something was going on. So did you remember smells or tivatures? Yep,
-
all of it. What's what's your explanation for these experiences? What do you
-
think they were? The time I thought I was remembering a past life.
-
That's at the time. Now I know that that's not scripturals, not biblical.
-
It could only have come from an angelic entity that put those thoughts in
-
my head because I know what God says. So that's how I want to
-
warn people because if they don't understand what these things can do, they could
-
fall off like I did and go the wrong way and be be so deceived.
-
And that I feel like that's coming. That's coming for a lot of
-
people. When these beings come, they're going to make people see, think,
-
and feel what they want them to. Well, you know, damning.
-
The real problem with that is, this is exactly what happened to John
-
on the Isle of Patmos. This is exactly what happened the Lord Jesus Christ
-
gave this message to the angel. The Angel went to John and literally downloaded
-
the whole thing in his brain. John never less left the prison cell.
-
Mm hm. So this is part and parcel with what they do. They
-
can they can do this, and it's very scary that people. It's amazing
-
how many people you discuss, you know, the end times with and you
-
brought a jet, Jack van Impey. That ministry, most major ministries,
-
fail to relay this information that there is coming a time in the future that
-
one third of the angelic host are going to be trapped here and this is
-
a series is disservice to their parishioners. It's a serious disservice that these people
-
don't understand. For some reason, they think that during the Great Tribulation,
-
it'll still be blue skies and it'll still rain, and they'll still be flowers
-
blossoming. They just don't get it. They don't realize how bad things are
-
really going to be. And this is one of the primary things that they
-
avoid, this aspect that the fallen angels will be here and they will do
-
to you whatever they want. Yep, And people just don't they can't grasp
-
that, and it really is troubling. So how did you react whenever you
-
found this ministry? Now, how did you find me? With La Marzouli?
-
Did I interview him or did I do something with him? At the
-
time, I think you were doing a show together with him. I can't
-
remember what it was now because it was a long time ago, and it
-
was with you're going to do a conference with him in standio. I remember
-
that. Yes, yeah, that's the time period that I started listening to
-
you, and everything you're saying just made sense. Well, that's one of
-
the biggest messages that of this ministry, It always has been. One of
-
the biggest talking points of this ministry is the simple fact that the Bible makes
-
sense. It is not designed to confuse you. And that was one of
-
the things that whenever we first talked privately, you and I, that's one
-
of the things that was really impressed upon me, that you had been quite
-
confused. Something had scrambled your brains. Yes, something wasn't right. So
-
it took some time for us to well, we had to develop a relationship.
-
I knew I had to develop a relationship with you or and which raised
-
great concerns with me. This ministry had to take the time to cultivate a
-
relationship with you, and that was a very dangerous thing. So there were
-
several times where you sent me messages, There were several times when we talked
-
on the phone. You had lots of questions. You know, this must
-
have been a really tenderfoot time for you as you were still healing from this
-
process and trying to understand what happened to you, that something had it had
-
really altered you, and not only you, but somebody else and had orchestrated
-
that you two met, which of course meant that they were in the same
-
location. So tell us about this. How far away was this other individual
-
that you met had met in your dream? How far away from you.
-
Did they live? Were they in the same town, the same state,
-
six hour drive but the same time zone? Well, how on earth did
-
you meet them in person? We set up to meet, so, ah,
-
you set up to meet. So how did you stumble across this person
-
online? I take it playing game? Playing a game really, so this
-
conversation just came up and you discussed this dream with them, and they said,
-
why had that same dream? No, well, how did that?
-
We talked and the things that he was saying and made me feel like I
-
knew this person, and I just knew, I knew like I knew,
-
And then that's what started us talking about the other stuff, because you know
-
that it was it was a relationship that let's just say it was sinful relationship,
-
okay, because I you know, I was in sin at that time.
-
So I don't want to say too much about it other than the fact
-
that that actually got me into a whole lot of mess, and I would
-
rather you know, I'm not that person anymore, and I know those things
-
didn't happen. Then it wasn't real. So I've moved on from all of
-
that. But it took a long time for me to realize what it was,
-
well, you know, this was this was obviously not normal that you
-
wound up playing the same game with this this person, I do believe.
-
So, yes, yep, well this was you realize this was going somewhere.
-
I mean, it sounds like to me that this entity had plans to
-
systematically destroy your entire life. I know. It's very scary. So yes,
-
that is extremely scary. That's that's really that that's really disturbing. So
-
it's even more when I think about I'm nobody, Like I am literally nobody.
-
I don't have a ministry, I don't have you know, a business
-
or people that you know. Listen to me that I could influence other than
-
my own children. I don't understand why it chose me, but it did.
-
And if it could choose me just to be picking on me, it
-
could pick on anybody because I'm nothing. So did you have anything else happening
-
happen let's just say around you. Was there any paranoral activity? Yes?
-
A lot of it. Yeah, can you describe some of it for us?
-
Well, in my house, my children would see and hear things that
-
weren't there, Like I would see the floating red eyes and all of those
-
things. So there was definitely a a demonic I would say activity going on.
-
I could that my children, you know, talk about to day.
-
So so people were seeing things and hearing things ye both, mm hmm.
-
So they were hearing screams or like a little girl's voice in the closet and
-
that kind of thing. So did you have any objects moving, Not that
-
I can recall, but I could, like I at one time I felt
-
somebody touched my leg that wasn't there. That was very creepy. Yes,
-
that would be very disturbing. So how old were your kids at this point?
-
They were young, like I wanted to say, between the ages of
-
like five for the next you know, from my youngest. And that period
-
went on for a number of years. Even when my niece came over because
-
she lived with us her house, she could hear them those things too.
-
So I can't I can't even recall. It had to be at least,
-
you know, ten years or more that that all of these things were around
-
until I got right, you know, with the Lord, because it was
-
just I think it was there for letting us know it was there. I
-
don't know what else to say about it. So did you try moving?
-
We did move. Yeah, But the thing is, we built the house
-
we lived in. Nobody had lived in that house before us, so that
-
was a brand new house. Yep. So you moved and the entities followed
-
you or not? No, I can't. I can say I don't think
-
it ever. I'd never experienced anything after we moved. I see. So
-
you know where do you think this came from? Do you think this came
-
from the shamanism stuff? Do you know? I think there were some things
-
attached to my husband because of his PTSD and mount telling us what he did
-
in the military and where he went. I see. So do you think
-
that it's it is possible that the event horizon was your husband and it attached
-
itself to you. Yeah. Yes. And then also not just me,
-
but the other person I was talking about was also a witch and could do
-
things, and I saw things around him that were definitely demonic, so he
-
had attached to him too, So it could have, you know, been
-
a combination of both, and I don't know. I'm pretty sure it was
-
a combination. And your saving grace was the simple fact that you had been
-
saved as a child. Now you're so your parents had taken you and raised
-
you up in church? Yes, yeah, we when I was there little,
-
we'd go, you know, my mom made sure we'd go to church.
-
So how far away did she live from you at this time this was
-
going on. Was she in the same town? No, my mother,
-
Yes, they live They lived about an hour away. So did you ever
-
tell your mother about these things? Not all of it, but she she
-
knew some of it. And did she suggest prayer or anything? Did she
-
suggest I prayed? I know she prayed the whole time. I know she
-
did because she's told me. Yep, she's told me that she was always
-
praying for me. Do you think that had something at holding whatever it was
-
at they? Oh, yes, definitely. Did you ever think to contact
-
a pastor or something to try to intervene? No? I was ashamed.
-
I felt like because I wasn't saying, God didn't want to listen to me.
-
In fact, I felt like I couldn't hear him anymore. Until I
-
couldn't hear the Holy Spirit anymore until I repented. I couldn't hear him,
-
I couldn't prayd him. I wasn't good enough, I was not clean,
-
I was not right. So what dogs? No, that's that's perfectly fine.
-
So eventually you did repent? What what triggered that? What what happened?
-
Needing to be healed? I was broken. I went through such grief
-
that I you know, I had no other way. I want either repent
-
or kill yourself the moment. So you you'd finally got to that point where
-
you were suicidal and you realized that was an endgame. Yep. Wow.
-
So what has happened now that your kids have grown up? What's their ideas
-
on it? And how do they feel about this whole thing? Well,
-
we really don't talk a lot about any of it except for the things that
-
happened to them and that it was We all agree that there was demonic activity
-
in the house. But my kids, you know, my my youngest is
-
starting to talk about God and stuff with me. And he's very private,
-
he's introverted, and he doesn't talk a lot, but he's he's starting to
-
talk about things that he believes, and he I know he does. He's
-
got a girlfriend. He says it's about Catholic and they talk about religion,
-
so I know he's he's got that for him going on. And I sent,
-
like send him scriptures and things like that that he's grateful for. And
-
he bought me a bedspread that had different verses on it from the Bible because
-
he wanted me to sleep with that. So I know he I know he
-
believes. And my son Daniel, he's my older boy. He goes to
-
church with us, and he is he knows right from wrong so much that
-
he's afraid to tell a lie, so put it that way. So I'm
-
grateful for that too, Yes, that is that is something to be extremely
-
grateful for. So my daughter doesn't talk much about it. But when I
-
you talk about in him saying, she gets upset and doesn't want to talk
-
about it. And I think part of it is because you know, my
-
granddaughter, it's hard when you have a little one. But her husband will
-
talk with me about it, so they he'll talk with me, but she
-
won't. She's kind of she gets scared. And my niece that lived with
-
us before, when she said she was an atheist when she first came to
-
live with us, she came from a very dark place too, And now
-
she says she prays to Lord and she feels better about things. So I
-
know she's starting to believe too, because she wouldn't be praying if she wasn't
-
telling atheists so right, that's right, that's that's kind of the opposite there
-
being an atheist and praying. She's obviously had a had a moment that you
-
probably don't know about, so that that's pretty amazing. So now that you're
-
back in church, you know, you said the beginning of the program that
-
when you were in church, they were teaching you a bunch of stuff that
-
you knew wasn't right. So how is that working in the play now?
-
So the church you're going to now you feel like they're teaching the right stuff
-
or not. Well, I have to say that partly yes, partly no.
-
And it comes to the raptures teaching and all of those things that they
-
don't they're dispensationalists, raptures, tons of teachings that I know you know isn't
-
right. But when you're talking about this that I think that they do talk
-
about, but there's never an altar call like you know you need to have
-
that, and I don't see that in the church anymore. That bothers me.
-
It's all about the worship getting close to God. They have like the
-
fivefold ministry, which you know they believe in that they believe, you know,
-
that sort of Pentecostal things were speaking in tongues and all of that too.
-
So yeah, that's about it. I don't have much to say other
-
than I go to the church my mom picked for her sake more than my
-
sake, and for my son to go into fellowship. That's more what I
-
get out of it is the worship and the fellowship than the teach. And
-
that's what you should try to get up. That that's the important stuff.
-
The eschatology is not really of any value. I mean it is. It
-
is of value because you know the Lord is going to show you what is
-
to come. I mean that is just a force of habit you. If
-
you get into God's word, you're going to be stained by prophecy. He
-
is going to tell you what is coming. And that's just a force of
-
nature. And obviously you've gotten well acquainted with God's word since two thousand and
-
seven, right m M. I mean I would say, I would say
-
you you know a whole lot about eschatology at this point. So do you
-
talk these things over with your mother? Yes? And what's her idea is
-
She's she's dispensationalist. I take it. She gets a lot. She still
-
has a lot of confused places because of so many years. She's in her
-
seventies, and so you know, the more I tell her she agrees with.
-
But then you know she'll listen to other teachers are back in the dispensationalist.
-
So she gets a little confused, but she's listening more and more because
-
I play you in the she's with me going to church, so she has
-
no choice. I play this show. She has no choice. She's poor.
-
She gets a nose of Matthew Miller. Well, I wouldn't suggest that
-
for everybody might cause a condition. So you, at some point in your
-
life you were born again? Mm hmm. Was this before all the mess
-
or was it after the mess? I don't know how I could be born
-
again and have that happen to me. That's that that would be. I
-
don't know. I would say I had that calling, you know, But
-
it wasn't until I fully repented that I feel like, I, you know,
-
got clean with the Lord, because I I kept going, like I
-
said, I just you know, I love the Lord. I knew that
-
he had called I felt you know, close to him all the time before.
-
But the more anguish and all that that happened to me. I knew
-
I was far from him, going through the darkest time in my rebellion.
-
I was so far related from him. So how can you be I don't
-
know. It just doesn't seem like it like I was until after, right,
-
I mean, that's what makes the viable sense, doesn't it. It
-
makes sense that when you were younger, you were called and all of this
-
stuff happened, and you had to come to Jesus moment and that's when you
-
were chosen. This is an event horizon that you were a Christian beforehand,
-
that is to say, you were saved, but you had never been born
-
again, and that's obviously what happened. I mean, your testimony testifies to
-
the facts that when you were younger, you had obviously been called, and
-
it wasn't until later, until after this mess, that you were born again.
-
You had this this experiential difference in your life, and once that happened,
-
your whole life was literally transformed because this had been going on for a
-
very long time. Yes, yes, So when did you eventually leave this
-
house that you had built when we moved in twenty fourteen to a new house
-
and you got clean in the new house, I would say that, you
-
know, it was the process of it started in the old house where I
-
was repenting of everything, and then by the time you were in the new
-
house, when I had the moment of forgiving and being forgiven, that's the
-
moment that I knew I let everything go because until I could get to the
-
point of forgiveness of that of the other people or other person involved, I
-
felt like I still had a link like a like a soul tie or something
-
that had to be broken completely. Once that happened, I no longer had
-
that. So I know that's the probably the moment when I had complete because
-
I don't think you can be forgiven until you forgive, you know what I
-
mean? Yeah, so I know what you mean. It's a reciprocal action.
-
And that's important for people to know that if they're in this dark corridor,
-
that corridor is literally going to go on forever until they put a stop
-
to it, until they get to that crisis moment where they're at the bottom
-
of the barrel. But it amazes me how people don't realize that you say,
-
when the bottom of the barrel is you get to say that, And
-
having worked with people in a homeless shelter for years. It's amazing how people
-
don't realize that that you have the power to say no, this is the
-
bottom right now from this point, I'm going up. It's amazing that people
-
don't realize that this darkness that overshadows you, it tricks you into thinking that
-
there's nowhere to go but further down. And that is the furthest thing from
-
the truth. It's the furthest thing from the truth. If God had called
-
you as a child, no matter how old you was, if he called
-
you when you were younger, be well rest assured that if you cry out
-
to him, he will intervene, and you would have to say, that's
-
exactly what happened. He intervened. Correct, is the really other answer for
-
it? No? And when he does it move, it moves fast.
-
I mean he starts going fast. Even though the processes of my healing tic
-
time, the circumstances started to change rapidly. You mean miraculously, yes,
-
yes, Because many people confuse those two words. I mean just saying that
-
things started picking up and happening rapidly. That is not a normal course of
-
events. Obviously, the time prior to two thousand and seven. That took
-
more than a few years, So people fail to realize that it's how fast
-
something happens is a miracle in itself. And I am very thankful that you
-
stumbled across this ministry, and I'm very thankful that you reached out to me,
-
and I'm very thankful that we cultivated a relationship because it certainly has been
-
worth it. Amen. Amen, Amen, I think I'm the one that's
-
grateful. I am. And you've learned a couple of things along the way,
-
right yep. So I remember first introducing you to the Strong's numbering system.
-
So how long did it take you to go from just picking up your
-
Bible and being lost to getting familiar with it and being able to look up
-
Hebrew and Greek words? How long did that take? It wasn't too long
-
because once you taught how to do it, I could do it on my
-
own. Because of technology, it was pretty easy to do. You know.
-
That was It's actually fun and thrilling to see the word open up like
-
that, And with the other women in our ministry that I that fellowship with,
-
and you know that we're all in this together, the sisters with me
-
and learning and we share what we learn, and we feed off what others
-
have learned, and one person will see something and share, another person will
-
see something else and share it. And God works that way, and it's
-
so amazing. It's such a blessing to have such a great group of women
-
there that we support each other. So that's also come out of your ministry,
-
and I am grateful for that. I'm very grateful for that. Even
-
though, boy, this ministry's been it's been a rocky road the past fourteen
-
years, hasn't it. It's been a real rocky road. You know.
-
You say that you had a big event in twenty fourteen, right, and
-
that's exactly when we had our big relocation event was the same year, correct,
-
Yep. Yeah, And there's no way you could presuppose that that was
-
just by coincidence, because it wasn't. And it's amazing to me that you
-
just Happenstantley be in the pool and run into Leonard. Yes, there's no
-
way that is coincidence. Obviously systematically and step by step God desired you and
-
it didn't matter where you was at or what was going on. Step by
-
step he got you where you needed to be. And that is the biggest
-
miracle right there. It's not that you know, I taught you how to
-
do the strong It's none of that garbage. What matters is that you were
-
in a very very dark tunnel and God stepped in. You saw the light
-
at the end of the tunnel, and you were able to get out.
-
That's important. That's what people needs to know that God is still in the
-
business of saving people. And you know you talked about your children. You
-
know this ministry praise for your children and at least once a week correct,
-
yes, yes, and the battle daily. Daily we pray for the widows
-
and the children daily. Yes, daily, we do that. And it's
-
important that that people need to know that that there is a ministry out there
-
that you can get hold of. You can send us the names of your
-
children and your grandchildren, and you can take this to the bank. Matthew
-
Miller is faithful, and I'm going to pray for your children. I'm going
-
to pray for your grandchildren. Not only that, I will direct us to
-
pray for spouses be provided for them, which has happened on more than one
-
occasion. And that's important. It's important that people know that there are ministries
-
that care. They're really there, really is, and it's really important that
-
you network with people and study God's work together. You have to get into
-
his word together, and when you do, it will affect you, it
-
will change you. Absolutely. Yes, So so I'm you know, I
-
am very grateful for you, Tammy, and I always have been, and
-
I appreciate your Well. My wife says that you're bold faced, honest Tammy.
-
Just she just says how it is. She's not trying to be mean,
-
she just tells you how it is. I heartfully agree with my wife.
-
You're exactly correct. Tammy is straight to the point. She gets straight
-
down to business. So well, that's a polite way of saying I have
-
no filter. Yes, you have no filter, that's another way to put
-
it. But you know, it is amazing that it takes all kinds right,
-
Yeah, it really does. The Body of Christ is made up of
-
many members, and every one of those members are detrimentally important, every single
-
one of them. You know, we have all kinds of people associated with
-
this ministry. You know, you talk about the sisters. It's amazing how
-
diverse those group of sisters are, different states, different backgrounds, different economic
-
standing. But it is amazing. How truly you group of ladies are above
-
rubies. I'm going to say that you're above rubies, and I look forward
-
to continuing this relationship and seeing you grow. And more importantly, here's of
-
late. You know, your mother has had a really hard time. We've
-
sunk a lot of prayer into her health. I look forward to those interactions
-
as well. I love when you tell us about how your mother's doing,
-
and you've got her back in church, and she picked a church. We
-
went through this whole whole list of things when you were looking for a church
-
for her. Those things are important. Your relationship with God should affect the
-
members of your family. You bear testimony to that is true. Your relationship
-
with the Lord has massively affected your family members from the deepest, darkest place,
-
which was terrible. I mean, I'm just going to say it.
-
I'm just going to a minute. It was terrible from that place. God
-
has worked miracles with your family. Of this, there can be no doubt,
-
and for that, I'm very grateful. I'm very grateful. So it's
-
time for you to pray us out of here. Okay, dear Father,
-
thank you so much for Matthew and his ministry. For his teaching and blessing
-
us. Lord, and I pray that whoever is listening to this show,
-
to my testimony to Matthew that is blessed by what was said here today.
-
That let them know that no matter where they are, at the deepest darkest
-
place, that you can pull them out of it. Father, if they
-
just call out to you and cry out to you and their english and their
-
grief, you will save them. You will deliver them, and you will
-
be their God. They just need to repent. Father, Please, Lord,
-
draw them to you now so they can while it is still an time
-
to call to the Lord before no good deed can be done. In Jesus'
-
name, I pray, Amen, Amen and Amen. Until next time,
-
ladies and gentlemen, God bless God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath
