I WAS BROUGHT UP IN A CHRISTIAN FAMILY YET ALWAYS LUKEWARM AND GOING TO CHURCH SERVICES EVERY SUNDAY. I WAS THE ONLY CHILD OF 3 AND THE FIRST CHILD WHO CAME FROM A NATURAL BIRTH AND OF THAT NOT BEING DELIVERED ALSO THE DRS HAD SAID I MAY HAVE HAD A STROKE WHEN NOT BEING DELIVERED NATURALLY YET I WAS DELIVERED BY C-SECTION.

AT 2 YEARS OLD THINGS STARTED HAPPENING, I WAS CROSS EYED AND HAD SURGERY AND WORE GLASSES EVER SINCE (BUT NOT ANYMORE). THEN AT 6 YEARS OLD I HAD A SEIZURE AND REMEMBER BEING IN AN AMBULANCE ON THE STRETCHER. MY MOM TRIED DIFFERENT PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION TO HELP ME BUT IN ALL OF 20 YEARS NO MEDICATION HAD HELPED. I WAS AN EMOTIONAL WRECK ALL THROUGH MY CHILDHOOD AND ONE SPECIFIC DAY ASKING GOD “WHY ME?” I WAS EMBARRASSED FOR MY APPEARANCE WHEN YOUNG AND ALWAYS TO COVER MYSELF WITH A HOODIE WHEN GOING TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY I HAD CEREBRAL PALSY AND OSTEOPOROSIS. AND AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, IT CAME TO ME FROM A SCHOOL FRIEND THAT THERE WAS HEALING FROM A CHURCH AND I WANTED THE HEALING AND I HAD MOVED OUT OF MY PARENTS HOUSE WITH MY MOM NOT WANTING ME TO GO AND MY DAD HAVING BEING GONE 2 YEARS EARLIER FROM A HEART ATTACK IN HIS SLEEP WHEN STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL. YET MOVING AWAY TO GO TO THAT SPECIFIC CHURCH GOD WAS WITH ME, THAT I HAD A DREAM THAT THE FAMILY I WAS WITH WOULD TAKE CARE OF ME AS I HAD NOTHING OR NOBODY. AND STILL WITH GOD WATCHING OVER ME AS MY MOM HELPED ME LIVE WITH PEOPLE BUT HAD BEEN KICKED OUT TWICE AND WAS FORCED TO GET A JOB WHILE GOING TO COLLEGE AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT CAREER I WAS GOING FOR (3 DIFFERENT CAREER CHOICES AT THAT AND BEING INDECISIVE). EVENTUALLY THE CAREER CAME TO BE IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND AS I WAS GOING TO SCHOOL GOD GOT MY ATTENTION (WHEN DISTRACTED FOR WANTING TO BE HEALED) CAUSE AS I WASN’T GOING TO CHURCH FOR ABOUT A MONTH MY SOUL WAS DEPRIVED AND I WANTED TO GO TO CHURCH AND CONSTANTLY ASKING ABOUT IT WHETHER GOING OR NOT. YET AS FOR NOT GOING TO CHURCH, I WAS SEEKING GOD ON MY OWN AND BEING CONSISTENT DAILY AND DILIGENT ALWAYS READING HIS WORD, WATCHING YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND TAKING NOTES. BEING SO PASSIONATE FOR GOD THAT I DIDN’T WANT TO GO TO WORK AND DIDN’T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL. IN THE MIDST OF SEEKING GOD, I WAS BEING HEALED WHEN I WOULD BE LAYING IN BED I FELT THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY GETTING MORE STRAIGHT AND MY BONES BEING STRAIGHTENED AS WELL AS HAVING DREAMS. ONE SPECIFIC DREAM THAT I HAD WAS OF A BATHTUB WITH RED WATER IN IT AND I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE TUB AND UNDER THE TUB IT SAID “SANCTIFICATION AND BAPTISM” AND IT WAS ONE DAY THAT I WAS FILLED WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE. ALSO STILL BEING IN SCHOOL I ASKED GOD “WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL?” AND HE TOLD ME “FOCUS ON JESUS” AND THATS WHEN I LEFT SCHOOL AND HAD LEFT THE JOB AS WELL. THEN GETTING IN CONTACT WITH A PERSON FROM PHILADELPHIA WHILE I WAS LIVING IN CALIFORNIA (BEING 6 YEARS) I HAD A DREAM THAT I WAS SOMEWHERE WITH A SUITCASE AND THEN I REALIZED I NEEDED TO LEAVE CALIFORNIA AND I DID TAKE THAT SAME BAG FROM THE DREAM WITH ME AND GOING BY TRAIN TO PHILADELPHIA AND BY GOD HE SET ME UP WITH MY HUSBAND (AS HE KNEW MY DESIRES). AND NOW STILL PASSIONATE AND STRONG FOR GOD, HE IS STILL HEALING ME BEING HEALED FROM FLUID IN MY BRAIN THAT I HAD FELT FEELING LIKE AN EMPTY SPACE IN MY HEAD AND HEALING ANOTHER SPOT ABOVE MY EAR THAT I HAD FELT AND HE HAD TAKEN AWAY THE MEDICATION THAT I WAS ON AND ALL THOSE TOXINS COMING OUT OF MY BODY AS WELL AS CORRECTING MY EYES AND NOT HAVING TO WEAR GLASSES ANYMORE. AND HAVING CHANGED MY NAME AS WELL, FROM JACQUELINE TO MARY AS GOD SHOWING ME IN A DREAM THAT HE WAS PROTECTING ME ALL THROUGHOUT MY CHILDHOOD AND NOW BEING MARY AS TO CARING FOR SO MANY PEOPLE THAT THEY DO COME TO CHRIST. OVERALL HE IS FAITHFUL IN GIVING ME MY PURPOSE IN HELPING PEOPLE TO BE MORE CLOSE TO HIM.
