STUDENT TESTIMONIES
Continue to be Amazed at God’s Love
God never ceases to amaze me with His generosity and His willingness to heal. I have been on both sides of the inner healing prayer. It is ALWAYS an honor and blessing to witness God at work especially during such a time as this. I feel God used this quarter to teach...
It is a game changer, you are never the same again!

Encountering Jesus!
Encounter Quarter 4 has been amazing! Some of the amazing transformational things during this time has been: experiencing the heart of God the Father, hearing and seeing Jesus, experiencing His Presence, relying on the Holy Spirit in a profound way, receiving His...
I Am Soaring
I have struggled with hearing from the Lord for many years. There was some kind of obvious block. I had renounced the lie that I couldn't hear from the Lord a zillion times. Over the years I have sat in prophecy workshops, embarrassed that I was the only one in my...
Surprised
I wasn't expecting the surprise this quarter held for me. The content of this quarter opened me up to an invitation and a sense of mission beyond the interior offering of myself through the Hands of Our Blessed Mother and in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass...
Increased Confidence in hearing God’s voice
During Quarter 3, the special session where we participated in the prophetic gift exchange exercise really helped me discern if I was really hearing God’s voice. I bought the gift I felt he was telling me to buy-a dark purple umbrella- it had to be dark purple- and I...
“Jesus wants to Know Why you do not sing to Him any More”
Dear Brothers and Sisters in our Beloved Lord Jesus, I would like to start by stating " Be Not Afraid." As God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are moving inside your heart in order to make all things new. Encounter Ministry is the work of the Holy Spirit and New...
What Freedom Looks Like
Quarter 4 has helped me form a new habit of being able to quickly identify God's voice versus other distractions. Being taught how to renounce lies that I believe and asking God to replace them with His truth has been very powerful. I have enjoyed learning how to live...
Stepping out in faith
I'm offering thanksgiving to the Holy Spirit for growing up in my identity from a servant to a friend! Thank you Holy Spirit for opening the eyes to my mind,heart, and spirit. There were hidden things that were revealed to me during the inner healing quarter that were...
The Lord revealed His love to me in a new way. I am His favored son. My Father loves me as He loves Jesus, as though I were His only Son. We are not "a disciple whom Jesus loves". We are "the disciple whom Jesus loves". This knowledge has given me a greater...
Transformation
After attending a couple Encounter Ministries Conferences, it was announced that the Encounter School of Ministry was going to be started in Brighton. I signed up and hoped that the weekly two and a half hour drive would be worth it. I told God that it better be worth...
A Baby Jackhammer!
I feel that during the Encounter Classes on Inner Healing this quarter the lessons were like using a little baby jackhammer and gently pierced some of our wounds and lies that we believed and the pieces came tumbling down. It was a beautiful experience and it also...
The Power of Inner Healing
I learned forgiveness for myself and others through the use of Inner Healing sessions in ways I could not have imagined! Using the Wounded Memories Tool: I have identified many lies I came to believe about myself that I am an unworthy daughter, lies that I have to...
Healing of Cancer
At a healing Mass, recently, one woman came requesting prayer for a dear friend whose cancer had returned and she was leaning towards not seeking treatment because it was an aggressive form. We prayed for her. A week later, Father received an email from the woman we...
The Blessing of Obedience
Last week I almost didn’t come to class. We had company all weekend, my youngest daughter was sick, and I was tired. It’s a 2-hour drive each way for me to come and on Tuesday I was going to have to come back this way to take my older daughter to a cardiology...
