Just saw, that favor girl has this. And I'll just repost my testimony in IG for hopes that one day or in the next months someone might stumble on my post here and somehow get encouraged.

I will never forget how I was wrecked inside & out from the first session. Hearing Pastor Kate preach about Mary telling Jesus that her brother wouldn't have died if only He was there, resonated with me so much. I was once again reminded of the days I was begging God for a way out of this life & nights I would cry out to God because I couldn't bear it anymore. Like Mary who has walked with God & have seen Him do miracle after miracle & yet feel forgotten by God, I also felt abandoned by Him. It did not make sense to me because I've already seen God heal people, restore families & give breakthroughs for other people, yet there I was...with my prayers still unanswered. That preaching felt like a hug from God, a reassurance that He did not abandon me that time. He was there all along. He saw me. He heard me. He was the one carrying me all those times, that even though I gave up I am still here standing today. And then, I felt the shackles of my unbelief fall off from me when Pastor Kate called for an altar call as I was prayed for.

I thought God was already done with me. But then here comes Pastor Mylene bringing with her messages of hope & faith. I was so humbled to hear her speak about God's faithfulness in her life & for her to be vulnerable with the audience, that even an established, confident & spirit-filled woman of God like her, also has her days when she feels dead at times. I could only imagine the cost she had to pay to have the prophetic mantle she has today. Every word that came out of her had life, and it stirred my spirit. She only had one choice in her life, and she made sure it was Jesus. I pray one day to be a woman like her & Pastor Kate — fully surrendered & undone by God.

AAHH. I CAN'T GET OVER HOW MUCH GOD LOVES ME. That He blessed me to hear preachings birthed from Pastor Kate and Pastor Mylene's personal God-encounters and to be in a room full of women from different walks of life & testimonies, I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that God planned this ahead of me. That even while I was struggling, He already saw me writing this post —victorious and already pulled out of the dark!😭

And if he can do it for me—IMAGINE WHAT HE CAN DO TO YOUR LIFE.
Never too late to join a connect or serve at favor girl or favor church!

Let me share with you one of my highlight  ✨

How God turned my mourning into dancing 🥺

3 mons ago, My boyfriend broke up with me. I was devastated and broken, feeling left alone, feeling unworthy. I did everything to forget all the memories we had, Been into parties, go out on gym, enrolled in dancing class and even tried e-cigar that I had thought I could forget the pain I’ve had experience. I was physically, mentally, financially and emotionally exhausted that I thought  these activities might helped me but I was wrong. 😭 I’m still empty inside.

Andun na nga ako sa point na sinasabi ko kay Lord “ Napapagod na ako umiyak matatapos pa po ba to?”

“Why would God allowed that situation happened? ” 😅🙃

And Yes, it brought me so much trauma.

I cannot sleep every night, I woke up every middle of the night, crying. ☹️

Come 2022, when I had my panic attack due to anxiety, I cannot breathe easily while I’m crying.  I was all alone in our house, feeling feverish, felt no one loves me and even question myself “ Am I not worthy to be loved by him? * panget ba ako para iwan niya?” ☹️ that pushed me to think of suiciding that I want to end this life. But still His presence is still there, told me “ it’s okay to cry. Your pain is temporary. I’m here. Rest in  me”.

That time, I was tested POSITIVE with Covid 19. I had to go through a 14 day home quarantine. That 2 weeks on quarantine were one of the God‘s instrument  to Rely and Rest on Him. Attended Favor Girl Come Alive Conference at Favor Church, a life changing event.That day, I cried so much and I begun kneeling down to Jesus because I cannot handle the pain anymore 🥲

I felt Him that day and I knew He comforted me.

I started focusing on what God has called me to do. That whole 2 weeks are my turning point and God reminded me that “ Seek me and You will find me” & this verse “ Return to the Lord your God for He is gracious and merciful” Joel 2:13.

He assured me that when I put everything into His hands, call upon Him, pray to Him and Return back to Him. He will rescue me. And yessss, God did it. 🥺✨

Lessons?

God created seasons. There is beginning and end with it. There is no one where else you need to look. There is nothing else you need to chase down.

He restored me, He build myself up again and plant whatever I’ve lost.

Gumising nalang ako na okay na ako. 🥺🤍🙌🏻

Praise God!

Truly,

There’s NOTHING that OUR GOD CANT DO. 🙌🏻🤍

Now I understand why that situation happened is to FIND HIM again. 😭🥺🙌🏻

Before January ends I can finally “ I’m already HEALED “ by His grace. 🤍

“ Weeping may endure for a night, but Rejoicing comes in the morning” Psalm 30:5 🤍❤️ #TurningPoint #HealedAndRestored

Whole week of prayer and fasting I was praying for the dreams and visions from God… and I am also praying for ministry that I want to be part of- if I am really for it and if I am ready for it. Saturday morning when I was preparing for Favor Girl Conference I suddenly realized the dead dream that I had when I was still in college I remember the exact scenario…. It was aligned in the ministry I am praying for. God revived that dead dream in me that I totally forgot and gave up. Okay, that’s the answer from God that it was for me. So my next prayer “Lord, Am I ready for it?” it was answered during favor girl when Pastor Mylene asked people to go infront if you want a God encounters. I saw a clear picture of myself kneeling infront of God while Him reaching out His hand to me staring at me and waiting for me to hold His hand and stand up. My knee were shaking and my hands slowly reaching out to His hand to stand up and I said “Lord, I’m ready. I know you’ll never leave me.” then Someone prayed over me and she said “She’s right. I feel like God is just saying You’re right. You’re right. You’re just ready. You’re just ready. ready to go.” and then when she said “You steady her feet and she can keep standing. You are the one moving her feet. Keep moving forward.” then I saw myself standing firm and holding His hand. He’s smiling at me. A picture of what’s like when I reach out to His hands and go with Him, He’ll never let me go. He’ll go before me. He will lead the way. He will help me. He will strengthen me. He will equip me. I am ready for the fight. Ready for the battle knowing He’s got me and I am holding His hand and He’s holding mine no matter what. Grabe! I cried so much during the conference from the start ‘til the end. That was one of my God-encounters during Favor Girl Conference! God is amazing! Thankful for the people who prayed for us during the conference. What an unforgettable and amazing experience! Thank you Lord! Thank you!!!

It was the last day of the year 2021. I remember staring at the ceiling as I woke up thinking if I would still like to live for another year despite the things that happened to me for the past years.

It has already been three years since I felt like a zombie. Alive but so dead inside. I had so many fears and disappointments in my heart. I couldn’t understand why God would let His people go through so much pain. Why would He allow me to be raised in a broken home? Why would He let my friends and family die? Why would He let me go through so much alone in a faraway land? Why would He let His people suffer when He can just take away all of these in just one snap? My heart grew cold as my mind was filled with so many unanswered questions.

2021 was the year I’m supposed to heal. It was the year I’m supposed to be happy again. I really thought it was. It was halfway through the year when I felt so alive and happy. The Lord has given me the most wonderful gift that I have ever received. It was a precious gift that I have treasured in my heart. But I have treasured it so much that the Lord decided to take it away. “Why?”, I thought to myself. “Why would you put me up just to bring me down again”?

“LET GO AND SING AGAIN.” I remember Pastor Kate saying these words as I sat alone in my dark room during the conference. “Lay down all of your disappointments at the feet of Jesus.” And so, with tears rolling down my face I laid down all of my disappointments, my traumas, my unanswered prayers, my heartbreaks, my unfulfilled dreams. I laid them all down at the feet of Jesus and worshipped Him for who He is just like what Mary did. I recognized that it doesn't matter whether my questions are answered or not. I just want Him. I want Him more than anything this world could ever offer.

“LIVE”, I heard Him whisper in my ear. “Live for you will taste and see that I am good”. For as He promised in Psalm 27: 13-14 ( NIV), “ I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord”.

I reserved an on-site ticket in December of 2021 but due to unforeseen circumstances, I wasn't able to attend physically.

I was sad but I kept praying to God for Him to use me as an instrument in being a positive influence to other people and definitely, God does not know how to disappoint at all!

The day before the conference I met a girl who happens to need 1 more on-site ticket. I rushed and fixed things for her and her niece who will use the tix and little did I know that the niece was battling some mental health issues and being in the Come Alive Conference was a huge deal for her!

God knew that this girl needed to be there more than I do and my then saddened heart fluttered and felt happy for us all!

Praise God for his amazing works!! ♥♥♥

I attended online for the Come Alive Conference and we were not left out at all! We, online ladies, get to share, meet others, and be as inspired as those who were on-site!

Shout out to Dana and Robyn whom I get to pray with! ♥

Come Alive as Pastor Mylene shared - is more of a mandate for us ladies, that now more than ever, we can be used by God to expand and grow the Kingdom like never before.

I have a choice everyday! My circumstances don't define me. Sometimes I need to be in the heat for just "5 more minutes"- Which this point is interesting because Pastor James spoke Sunday and said sometimes our breakthrough is just around the corner. it meant a lot to me because I've felt very blah and bland in my relationship with God and just haven't felt close to Him in awhile.

——and it was only possible cause of Jesus!!

looking back at our journey of planning the Favor Girl Come Alive Conference, I am reminded of 2 Cor 4:8-9 (NLT); after three postponed dates, and numerous hurdles—

We are pressed on every side by troubles,
but we are not crushed.
We are perplexed,
but not driven to despair.
We are hunted down,
but never abandoned by God.
We get knocked down,
but we are not destroyed.

🌅

felt God so heavy-handed with his grace on our team and overall conference today.

amazing what he can do with hearts and hands that are simply available. witnessed miracles today—around 500+ onsite and online. ✨
