I wanted to let you know how the Awake & Arise weekend has transformed my life. God's love is amazing! 

Inner healing was a place I vowed I would never go to. When I came to the Lord...I was only too happy to go forward not looking back...,the old man was dead. I thought that it was sick to revisit many traumatic incidents that occurred when I was very young. During the conference with every word spoken... every page turned... the Lord was speaking to me... it was like my eyes were being opened for the first time. The weekend wasn't about digging up the past... but about a releasing of things that kept me unknowingly bound to the past.

For the first time in my life... I am walking around saying... I LOVE LIFE!!! All things have become NEW... self hatred has been replaced with... I love myself... I love who God has made me to  be. I am blessing my self for the first time in my life. I feel free. Free to be who God has called me to be. I feel like a butterfly!

Thank You... every single person on the ministry team... a million times.

I truly have been at a crossroads in my life for about 6 months, and my life has totally 360'd since attending Awake and Arise! I was so grateful for how your course and material explained the truth. I was amazed at how I have had to re-learn what I thought was biblical theology. 

I have been in church since I was 3 yrs old. I have been so misunderstood... I was always 'told' I was too sensitive, too soft, too introspective... but thank you for helping us to see that we are just what God intended when He made us; we just need to walk in salvation, healing and deliverance from pain, rejection, etc. I could feel the judgement, guilt, shame just meltin off of me starting with Friday nite. I was so freed from that condemnation and I was able to continue to forgive, repent for giving my 'will' away and come out from underneath that verbal curse. 

God spoke clearly to me that we were like bottles of champagne that had been corked but He was takin the corks out and boy did we bubble up and out!  Awake and Arise has helped me regain my joy, breathe deeply, live without guilt and much much more. It truly changed my life -  boy, am I back! I am extremely grateful.

Through Awake & Arise, the people, prayers, and God's grace, I was brought through a door of change and to places that I could not go on my own.

I sobbed as I forgave my parents for inconsistent and limited love and attention, and forgave them for having that picture of love being transfered onto how I view God's love toward me. After this, I saw an ocean before me. By this picture, God was telling me that His love is like an ocean toward me. It is unfathomable. It does not go away. It's endless. He is good. He is trustworthy. He is indeed worthy of all praise.

Yesterday at work, I saw a lady who didn't recognize me. I made myself known to her, and she said, "It is you! You look so different, I didn't even recognize you. You're shining!"

Thank you for the wonderful blessing and ministry this weekend. God emptied me out and filled me up! There was so much love and acceptance and bonding. I felt like we were all in this together. I appreciate the way that the whole weekend was put together, from the worship, to the breaks, to the meals and snacks and all the attention paid to detail. I loved the theme and the team. It is very obvious that God has put this ministry together.

Thanks so much for coming to Wales. As a new Christian I wasn't quite sure what to expect as it was the first conference I have been to. Even though it has been an intense weekend for me, it has helped me get a lot of things off my chest & become closer to God which is what I really needed.

I can't believe how friendly you all have been & I've never felt so cared for in my life.

The Awake & Arise conference has really helped me see things from a better perspective, helped me to love myself & helped me to fully trust in God. I have become so much happier & at peace & I just want to say thank you so much - my life has definitely transformed over the past couple of days!

The workshop was well done, organized, and flowed from a pure stream. There was deep healing for others as well as myself. I appreciated the sensitivity and seriousness with which people's vulnerability and issues were handled. It was a safe place to be open and allow God to do His work.

The healing God did in me for the loss of my baby, was completely unexpected and amazing. I had no idea I had that much grief locked away. I appreciate the loving care and kindness, the spirit-led ministry and the thick blanket of love I felt when releasing my baby into the arms of the Lord. In all my life & all the conferences I've attended, I have never experienced the thickness of love around me like I did when going through this necessary exercise. After this healing, I felt so much lighter and a weight that I had carried around unknowingly for 16 years was finally gone. I want to give thanks to you and your ministry team and thanks to God!

God has done amazing things for me since Awake & Arise. I always had a weight on my chest & I couldn't take a deep breath. It would keep me awake all night and I took sleeping pills and muscle relaxers and it still came back. I have intestinal trouble a lot and it would put me in the hospital with horrific pain - the last time I was in , morphine didn't work. During Awake & Arise, I couldn't figure out why I couldn't stop yawning. Every time Janet would say something and I claimed it, I either took a deep breath or yawned. It took a couple of days for me to realize He was taking the pressure off. The Lord revealed to me that it was stress. I am so thankful that God had the patience to wait for me to wake up & get up. He has been talking to me for years and I am finally listening.

God is working very fast with me and just when I think that's enough for now, he is rarin to go with more. I know now what it means to be on fire for God!

You as the Awake and Arise team have given your lives in pursuit of the treasure of God this weekend, and as one of those treasures lovingly sought after, I thank you from my heart!! 

This weekend you have together mined carts and carts loaded with gorgeous, many-faceted jewels and unique, indescribable, rare treasures (brought up from the utter darkness where they were lovingly beckoned out of caves, skillfully pried out of crevices, and carefully chipped from fossilization) into the glorious light of the Lord Jesus Christ where they can be seen, enjoyed, celebrated and shared!! Oh, the beauty!!!

Through the weekend I was transformed. I learned about judgement. It had been fueling bitterness for a long time. Now I can refuse to think judgmental thoughts. I had soul ties I didn't know were ungodly. That was a huge weight. I make ties very easily and I had a lot of them. I'd been desperately seeking fulfillment for a long time from others. I also felt a huge freedom when I forgave all the partners from my past.

I was deeply disturbed from dissociation and didn't know what it was. Now I am held together and have the choice to stay. I am going to go through the manual; take in and learn each chapter. There is still more to learn and do. I now wear a crown of authority. I feel free from the chains I couldn't see. I feel complete and reinforced.

First I thank each one of you for all of the love, prayer, time, pain, and energy you have all poured out for me. You, guided by the Holy Spirit created an atmosphere of safety, peace, love , and joy!

It is very difficult to articulate the many amazing things God did in my heart this weekend. He brought immense healing in places I did not know were broken and made me free from many chains and tricks the enemy laid on my shoulders and some things I picked up on my own. I feel as though God has given me a new heart, and that it is much larger than the old one. The Lord cleansed me from a lot of unseen pain and the blessing of the Father greatly ministered to me.

Thank you for you servant's hearts and your warring on our behalf!! God Bless you all!
