"My Judgment Towards Others
Caused Me a Lot of Heartache"

By Tera Smith

I first came to know of Vision Life in 2003 through reading Shadow Boxing. The Truth contained within the pages of this book has changed my life forever.  One of the things that stood out to me at first was inner vows and judgments.  I had no idea what an inner vow and judgment was.  As I continued to read, I began seeing areas in my life where I had made judgments against others and vowed that I would never be like them.  Well, low and behold, as time went on, I gravitated toward those exact things that I said I wouldn’t.  My judgment towards others caused me a lot of heartache.  Dr. Malone helped me to see that my judgment of others is sin and that the vows that I made had set me on a course of action that I couldn’t get off of until I recognized my sin, repented, and broke the effects of these vows.

I had the opportunity to attend a Freedom and Fullness Seminar in 2003.  This was one of the most life-changing experiences that I had ever had.  Dr. Malone and his team ministered to me with such love and compassion, power and authority.  I can remember being bound by a strong spirit of haughtiness.  I was having a difficult time being released from this, but Millie stayed with me and with much love and authority, broke that spirit off of me.  Upon returning home, God continued to work on me and reveal other things that were still deep-rooted.  It was like having the lid lifted off and seeing the junk that was inside.  There was an anointing that was deposited into my life that gave me the strength to walk it out.

Through personal one-on-one sessions with members of the Vision Life team, I have come to walk in greater freedom and experience deeper healing.  The associates at Vision Life have helped me to see Truth in what was really going on in my life.  When I allowed myself to have a clear Truth encounter, I experienced freedom and healing.  Dr. Malone and the team at Vision Life guided me through this process and with the authority of Jesus Christ, helped to lift the things off of me that had held me captive and with hearts of compassion, brought the healing Love of Jesus to the wounded areas in my heart and soul.  For the first time in my life, I felt accepted.  I felt that I belonged.  How freeing that was!

Knowing that my husband and I have a call on our lives to deliverance/inner healing ministry, we began to pursue further training through Vision Life.  In February of 2004, we attended the intensive School of Deliverance.  This once again was a turning point for me.  The equipping, training and experience that I received was more than I could process at the time.  It was like receiving 33 years of experience in deliverance and inner-healing ministry all packed into about 60 hours!  Wow…what a week!  It was one of the most incredible times of my life and I am honored to have had such an opportunity to receive so much from such a seasoned warrior.  As I have also attended other training sessions offered by VLM, they are equipping me to be able to minister to others who are bound and to bring healing to those who are hurting. Through Vision Life, Luke 4:18 has became reality to me.  I don’t believe that I could effectively fulfill the call on my life without this training and I most certainly would not be the person that I am today had God not touched my life through this ministry.
