On September 11, 1983 I walked into a church service as a Mormon and I came out saved, water baptized and filled with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Certainly a day that is forever etched into my mind and spirit because of an incredible encounter with God!

Fifteen years later I had another encounter with God that parallels that first initial experience with the Lord. It took the form of a spiritual warfare seminar. I went with notebook ready to learn but instead I came out with a great stirring in my spirit.  It wasn't till I applied to Dr. Malone's internship program that the real revelation came. Already working in the area of deliverance, I was very eager to expand my knowledge. What I failed to realize is that God had another plan. God's main purpose in leading me to the program was to do a work of deep inner healing so I can truly minister to others.

In my own personal deliverance session I was made aware for the first time in my life I had little to no memory of my childhood. It wasn't till I sat in on other training sessions that this truth became painfully and frightfully clear. I had deep emotional wounds that the Lord in His timing was preparing to heal. It took several praying sessions in which Dr. Malone through prayer called these wounds to the surface.  It was revealed that I had severe terror that stemmed from witnessing many episodes of violence in my inner city upbringing and witchcraft in my bloodline.  These experiences caused me repeated night terrors and agonizing nightmares.  Sometimes I would clearly over react to certain situations but I had no clue as to why. Yet in those fifteen years I loved the Lord greatly and served Him faithfully.

The Lord took me through a series of cleansings that caused me to weep for long periods of time and to recall some of the terrible painful memories. Now the night terrors and defensive emotional wall has changed to a deeper level of love and peace that I have never experienced before.

In the area of infirmity I suffered with high eye pressures (glaucoma) for seven years. I recently had my eyes examined and my pressures were normal! This eye doctor had advocated for me to see a specialist all that time. It so impressed him that I was able to minister to him about the Great Physician.

The most remarkable evidence of my inner healing is that I am actually recalling the Spanish language that was repressed due to some violent prejudices of my Puerto Rican heritage. I no longer carry the weight of the fear of who I am and consequently I am able to express my self much more freely. This freedom has carried over to my husband, family, friends and church. THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!
