My Spiritual Journey into God's Presence

By Zadora Covington

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation (Matthew 12:4346, KJV).
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord (Psalm 4:5, (KJV).

Zadora Covington

When I truly saw myself, I felt like the prophet Isaiah when he said, in Isaiah 6:5, “Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.” I was naked before God; he saw all my imperfections—all my flaws. Only when I came humbly before God is when God healed me.

Dedication

First and foremost, I want to dedicate this book to my heavenly father, God, who created heaven and earth from which I received the revelations, the direction, and the strength to write this book. Second, I dedicate this book to the many people who desire a closer walk with Christ Jesus. I dedicate this book to the ones who have struggled because of life situations. I dedicate this book to the person who’s seeking the Lord Jesus. I dedicate this book to the one who is pressing on in the Lord Jesus and refusing to give in and up to the enemy! I dedicate this book to all who have gone through sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. I pray that this book will minister to all who wants to go to a new level in Christ Jesus who will surrender their all to Jesus. I pray that by reading my book, lives will be changed. I decree it so to the glory of God!

I want to dedicate this book to my mother, Diann Stringfellow, who has taught me not to give up, even through trials, but to persevere through them. Mother, I love you and thank God for giving me a strong mother—a true woman of God! Thanks for all you have ever done for me! Just like how God has put spiritual bandages on me, Mama, you have put so many bandages on me when I was a little girl, and you always let me know that you love me when I felt no love from others.

This book is for my children, Montoya Jr., Eleseiana, and Montez. You bring joy to my heart and a smile on my face each and every morning. I thank God that he gave me three beautiful children that has taught me many things. I love you! You are my pride and joy! I decree that you will be great in the Lord Jesus! It is so to the glory of God! To my only daughter, Eleseiana, blessings overpouring to you. Bountiful blessings to you sweetheart; don’t be a weed but a seed!

I dedicate this book to my best friend and spiritual sister, Latoya Hall, who is with Lord Jesus. I miss you so! Know that you will be forever missed and loved!

Foreword

I met my cousin, Zadora, when she was five years old. Powerful ministries today are those that have been through great trials or have experienced an unpleasant childhood. Zadora has experienced both; therefore she is greatly anointed by God. I know it does not seem fair because of the bad or things that happened in our childhood or in our present or past adult lives, but God always provides us with an open door back to happiness if you believe and knock. Matthew 7:7 reads, Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Our lives are paths, and I have seen Zadora walk from one path into the path of righteousness. This book can help you find happiness for your life.

Prophetess Tara Thompson
