CHAPTER 1

As I ponder about all the things God has done for me thus far, I can only assure you that my own account of His goodness, grace and mercy with miracles of healing and joy in between is nothing less than a testament of what I have experienced with God working in my life, even when I did not yet know Him, He knew me.

My very first encounter with God was at the age of 22, 8 ½ months pregnant as I was awakened out of a deep sleep upon hearing His voice for the very first time, one early morning about 3am. I heard my name being called as if an echo from a far off distance but yet I heard my name being called 3 different times. It sounded like when you say something in a canyon and its echoes back to you.

I was known by the name Becky at this time in my life, not knowing a name given to me by my mother and written on my birth certificate was that of Rebecca.

I kept hearing my heavenly Father calling me my God given name of Rebecca, a pause, then Rebecca, then another pause and then Rebecca again. Finally, I woke up and said What. I did not know who I was even responding to. But I heard that voice and undeniably it was the voice of the Lord. I got out of bed and walked out onto my balcony for a moment to see if anyone was there or that it might have been my sister who lived next door to me. Yet, no one was there! I came back in and went back to sleep. I did not even know God spoke, yet He was calling my name from a place far enough away that I could honestly say it was from heaven.

Years later I asked the Lord about this, and He graciously replied, this was the moment I began to call you out of darkness into My marvelous light. I was overwhelmed and astounded to say the least at what I heard Him say to me!

His delivering power was long before I even acknowledged Him as my Savior or answered the invitation to know salvation. Before this, I had a life full of men and foolishness who only wanted me for my body and what it could do for them, not realizing that every man I slept with, it was a soul tie from those men, who wanted to be around me only to gratify the fleshly desires with each one.

Very sad, but true, because you see, I did not yet know that I have a God who loved me, nor did I understand how polluted my own spirit was becoming by allowing men to sleep with me without any acknowledgement or understanding of a relationship between a man and a woman, certainly not by God’s standards. This is the world’s definition of relationships and I was still in the world’s way of thinking.

Godliness has long left the human race and the church not teaching enough on how to be holy with our temples, who would know how to take care of our bodies as spiritual houses. We need to come back to that place of honoring the Lord with our temples. As the word says, in 1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Not allowing fleshly desires to interfere, but submitting to God and agreeing with His Spirit to become who the Lord says you are by fulfilling His plans and to prosper you. When the light comes allow yourself to be nurtured by that light!

The next time I spoke to God about me and my life and now the life of my beautiful daughter, was when I realized I no longer wanted to be married to the man who fathered my child. He was beating me and in my small frame could not take being abused like a man would hit another man. I just knew I did not want to be married to him any longer nor to raise my daughter in that kind of environment.

God had better for me, and He was guiding me into a relationship with Him to show me what true love from the Father really means. A love I had no concept of but wanted to be loved so desperately. This love comes from our creator to set us free from all the damage we do to ourselves and from others, not realizing the freedom it will bring, to walk, live and love as He intended us to. It is a transformation!

So, one day out of my mouth I spoke these words, Well Lord, if I have to raise her myself, then so be it. And that is exactly what happened. Within the next 6 months I was divorced, on my own, with a job and a way to support myself, He was making a way for me, because I asked for Him to get involved and change the course of my life and walk in the right direction for me and my daughter, who I dearly love.

My heart spoke volumes to my Heavenly Father so I would feel safe and be able to take care of myself and my baby without any fear because of the abuse I had already suffered. I did not even know how to pray, except for the bedtime prayer most parents teach their children before they sleep. I felt an assurance within me that my life would be different now. I did not know I had a spiritual enemy who wanted me to die before my time and before who I knew my gifts, my calling and that I was chosen by God for a purpose.

It was about 16 years after the birth of my daughter, I openly expressed one day, loudly, I will never sleep with another man until the Lord brings me my husband, and that was that. I was tired of the men coming in and out of my life feeling completely alone and lonely after each encounter.

Little did I know, I had just spoken my own deliverance, or the fact that my words would bring forth a deliverance I had no knowledge was coming or that I even needed it. Being set free is just as the word says, "Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed. And He acted on what I had just said.

Please as you read on make sure your mind and heart are open to hear and understand what a true deliverance from God isn’t as you think it will be. Make no mistake, I had no idea what was going to happen next. It just happened like this.

About a month had passed since I spoke those words, and one Saturday morning as I tried to sleep in, I just felt so restless, so I came out of my bedroom and laid on my couch in the livingroom, where I seemed to go back to sleep for a little while only to be awakened, when suddenly I heard this voice that said, You heard her, now come out, and the next moment my mouth dropped open and something left my body, it was very dark almost like a black shadow. At that moment I replied, Oh, Lord, what was that and then fell into a deep sleep. It was my deliverance!

This was a true encounter with a holy angel sent by God and little did I know I had just been delivered from a spirit that had crept in through my encounters with men, one had passed on to me. What a good and gracious God I serve! To know that He thought so much of me and had granted me a request when I really did not even know or understand that I needed Him in my life. His love for me was far greater than I realized and that I needed a Savior. I felt different afterwards, but I still did not fully understand what had happened to me.

You see, God responds to our inquisitive minds, hearts, and really wants us to understand His ways of doing things and the timing of those things to make sure we are on course in our lives for His plans, not ours. The Lord is so kind and gracious, watching over us to take care of us, even when we do not fully know Him.

He had plans for my life and was beginning to set my feet on a good path, because I had made some very bad choices and He was making it right again, so I could do those things that only He had planned for me when He formed me in my own mother’s womb.

Oh, the absolute delight in my soul to know what I know and how He was beginning to reveal things to me, was just starting and incredibly beautiful to know my Father in heaven knows my name and who I am.

I am absolutely convinced that He did not want me to go to the front of a church and expose myself like that in front of a whole congregation as some churches practice.

He personally and privately delivered me from something that could have been destructive in bringing me out of a darkness
