Monica’s Testimony – Yearning for Healing
I came to RTF yearning for healing in desperation for something more than just Sunday service healing. RTF helped with the beginning of my true healing process.
Abuse and all its forms seemed to be the highlight of my ministry time. Breaking and cutting with oppression has renewed my spirit. I was able to see the Lord and his Love for me and not the false love I received through the world. RTF gave me support and knowledge to take back my life from the enemy! I learned to renounce oppression’s in the name of Jesus. I learned to intercede for my own family and cut chains for my children and generations to come.
Because of the compassion for restoration from RTF, I have forgiven my abusers and myself, my identity in Christ has been restored. “I am a princess of a Great King”. RTF gave me post ministry tools to continue the renewing of my mind and spirit in which I am grateful for. I have since now practiced this with my own daughter (7 yrs) so that she can proclaim and cast out throughout her own life.
Restored from:
Abuse: Physical, Verbal, Mental, Emotional, Sexual
Domestic Violence
Addiction
Promiscuity
Abortion
Anxiety- Low self-esteem

Wilmar’s Testimony – I Now Have a New Heart
I would like to give thanks to God first and fore most.
Before RTF my walk with God was to my understanding going well. I had no clue of the anger that was inside of me not only towards others but most important towards God, keep in mind that I was already a follower of Christ for more than 8 years.
I was abandoned by my mother at age 2 and my father was taken away from me at the age of 5 due to the civil war in my native country of El Salvador. By the grace of God my uncle took me in and raised me, he was not a loving man at all so I grew up resenting all that had and was happening in my life. Bitterness was creeping into my heart without me even realizing it.
When I was introduced to RTF by my wife like most of us I was hesitant to say yes but noticing the change in my wife who had previously gone through an RTF ministry I gave in. Not only did God show up to heal me of all my hurts and bitterness but literally gave me a new heart. I clearly felt and saw Jesus’ hand uproot bitterness out of my heart and believe me when I say felt. I don’t know what open heart surgery is, but I have no doubt that that is what Jesus did to me. I now have a new heart. I strongly recommend and ask our Heavenly Father to put it in your heart to get ministry.

Maddy’s Testimony – You Cannot Put a Price on Salvation
It wasn’t until 2009 where my life took a turn for the worst. Any control I thought I had, flew out the window in just seconds of a god awful, poor, heart-rending decision that would end up defining the next ten years of my life. I was suffering from alcoholism and because of my recklessness and unlawful desires, I paid the price. I almost lost my life.
A decision to not keep my unborn child led me on a path of destruction. Soon the guilt and unworthiness had me creating bonds with abusive people. Whether it was mental, physical, or emotional abuse, it all felt the same. I drank myself away. Not only did my problem with alcohol cause me to have run ins with the law, it also destroyed my body. Having a serious case of anemia changed my life. I also started to lose my memory. See, we are blind to what our addictions can do to us internally. I was living with depression, anxiety and regret. All the things that God would never want us to feel.
As a child I was always creative. I loved using my hands. I wrote poetry all my life. Kept journals, played the piano for years. My addiction took my identity away. I became weary, tired. Longing to be saved.
I finally let my pride go, dropping to my knees I begged God to help me. I was so vulnerable, insecure, broken and suicidal. I had enough. It wasn’t too long after when I made the decision that I wanted to commit that things started looking up for me.
God led me to my lawyer once again for my third case. They say “Three times a charm”, it was right then when My attorney told me what she does outside of work. And by surprise proceeded to tell me she was a Pastor and is a part of a healing and deliverance Ministry. God is so good! I was elated, the help I yearned for was standing right before me and there was no way around it. I had no choice but to get saved right then and there in the conference room of her office. God is relentless! I was so undeserving, I was a mess, but he took my hands anyways and has never let me go since.
Although it doesn’t get better, once you’re better I continue to fight for my sanity because there is no greater feeling than the feeling of freedom and peace. You cannot put a price on salvation. It’s a struggle, I am only human but it’s worth the fight. I am finally free, I am myself again and no one can ever take that from me.

Jerry’s Testimony – Through the Fire Undamaged
Ever since was a young man I felt that grown to be solid and untouchable in my own way. I have grown to live a quote that I read in a book in my mid-teens called Black Boy: “aged before time.” Being separated from my mom at age of 6 for a valid reason and my dad who left us when I was 6-month-old baby, I did not know that this had created a shield onto my personality.
I was able to come in terms of the affects thru the help of my wife and Father’s healing Love ministry. I’ve grown to be unaffectionate and not show emotions and be passive onto things that did not belong to me. Little that I knew the affect that being separated created a soul spirit hurt of “abandonment.” Be part of the healing and still going.
Father’s healing Love ministry gave my tools to forgive myself and love ones. Then the process of restoring continues and I feel that as each day goes by my relationship with my papa Abba grows to a greater intimacy. I am allowing the river of the Holy Spirit to take me on the purpose He has for me. I am great full and thankful to Jesus for giving each of us the opportunity to heal – is a life healing!
Stand firm as we are saved the minute we accept Jesus in our life, we continue being save and the reward will come upon his arrival with eternal blessings. I leave you with this verse : 2 Corinthians 4 : “ So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Delmy’s Testimony – The Lord Did it All
My journey with the Lord has not been easy, nor do I think it should have been. In my walk with the Lord, I found myself attributing the relational style I had with my caregivers while young to God. This led to feelings of unworthiness, condemnation, and dissatisfaction with my life as well as relationships. I was profoundly lost and often suffered from depression and anxiety. I wanted so much to feel worthy and tried finding worth in others approval of me. This only led to further disappointment and dismay.
I asked God to heal me, I asked him to cleanse me, I asked him to help stop the inconsistency in my emotions. He did, he answered with RTF.
I have had the Thorough Format done and that lifted a weight off my shoulders. Since then, I have done some self-ministering and gotten ministered on a couple of Issue Focused ministries that have resulted in freedom. I feel a tremendous amount of freedom to love, freedom to be myself, and freedom from seeking approval from others.
The Lord did it and all I had to do was have the willingness to face myself and the truth.
