​Well, my name is Lady the son. I'm married with an amazing man, Jeffrey. And I have two boys. They older is 16 years old, and the other one is 11 years old. They're pretty big now. And I just want to thank Pastor Roy and Miss Beth for giving me the opportunity to share this testimony. They actually I share it in Easter, I do believe it was. And well, the Lauren signs that moment has been moving, not just my heart again. But the hearts of the people that I've seen sharing this testimony. So I had my first son when I was pretty young, I was 19 years old. And you know, I was so excited because he was my first baby. And you know, like a mom just waiting for her baby was a baby that I was waiting for him with all my heart. And this baby came really good in a moment, healthy everything. And the moment I didn't know the Lord, I grew up in a Catholic family. So I knew God. But I didn't know she says, and you know, like, growing in this beautiful spiritual way as maybe the meals family are, they are amazing. So you know, so I grew up that way. And so when my, my baby became a, I started having dreams, I used to have drain sites, I was solito. And I never did understand that it was a way that God talks to you. So many times, I would say, Oh, you're just a dream. But many times I was scared because I will have a dream. And things happen. Like literally things that I even threw in I was like, Oh my God, this. This is weird. So when my baby was born, hey, two months after he has started presenting like Healthy Youth Issues. I was seeing him Do you know having his bottle, and he started sweating. So I didn't know he was two months old. Or I will be feeding him and I feel like he has started putting like his face, like so pale. And I started noticing things like, I know I was young, but I know a mom. Something just even is born when you have a baby like this part of mom that you know something is not right. So and then I started having dreams. I do remember having dream seen myself in a hospital with this baby. But I was like, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know what is going on. So I started, you know, when I started seeing these changes in him, he'll start eating less and less and less. And I just knew something was wrong. And I started taking him to the hospital where his pay a pediatric list. So he started saying like, so that was the first time that I went say no, he's arrived. You're so to Jiang. And he's fine. And I was like, well, maybe so I went back to home again. But then my babies start getting worse. And he started waking up like a knife with the spine like doing this kind of stuff. And he was like, I don't know, and I don't know how to explain to you I knew something was not right. I knew I knew it. And I couldn't sleep either. And I started like, I don't know, and my mom was with me. He was taking care of me in the baby. And, you know, I say you know, I have to go back to the hospital. So I went back the second time and again, know your baby's Orion. He's fine. Everything just looks fine. And I started getting frustrated. And I say Lauren, well, I don't know. He just knows something is not right. And I went out of the, you know, the doctor's room, and I start crying with my baby. And I just I didn't know and I do remember a nurse pass by and she asked me Is everything okay? And I say yes, but I don't know, my baby's not fine. And the doctors keep saying to me that he's fine. And I just I don't know what to do. And she was like, well, you want me to maybe ask another doctor to see him and I was like, Well, if you can do that and she tried to meet with another doctor and a moment in I don't remember the you know, I was waiting for the new Dr. When he came in, she started, you know, going to hear his heart. And I just remember that you start, like, Can you just be quiet? I need to hear this good. And I was like, you know, I don't know what is going on? Then she say, I don't hear something right in his heart. And for me that was like, what? Her? Oh, no, I didn't understand anything in that moment. But I know that were hard. You know, it's like, this is important. And she said, you know, you will have to go in maybe CNS specialize in this. And I was like, well, so I, I have a family there was I thought she was in another city. And I call her like, crying. I don't know, something is wrong with Sebastian. And I just, I don't know what to do. And you know, how is he here? Because I am from Colombia, by the way. So I was in Colombia in the moment. And I was like, I don't know what to do. And she say, well, you're one just get a flight early in the morning tomorrow. And I would get a friend of mine, that is a cardiologist that is going to see him say, okay, so I when I buy the ticket, and early in the morning, I took this flight, and I came into this another city. And I just do remember, like, I just can't feel like something inside of my heart. And it just like, I don't know, I didn't have peace any any day. And she picked me up in the airport. Then we went to this hospital. And I just remember this cardiology scene, my son, in my, his own in the moment, there was a doctor took me to hear her friend, they start seeing each other like, they were talking in this way the doctors just speak, but you don't understand. And I was like, What is going on? Okay. So then, like, I would just try to explain this because he was just so fast. Everything that happened in the moment. i You saw him. They pulled me away from the baby. And the doctor Stan, like, he just opened his mouth, put something inside of him and said, Oh, my goodness and ruin, it's targeting full of doctors. And I was like, What is going on? And then my, he's just came close to me say, I don't know. But he has just said watching us have a heart attack. And I was like, What? What? He wasn't easy. He was horrible. I was alone. With Sebastian, in just his out in I don't know, just my life change that moment. I will never forget. I just started weeping. I didn't know what to do. In his arm was just so concerned about him in. I didn't even know how to call my mom. My mom was in another city. And it was like, well, so Sebastian got really bad. He was born with cardiologic defensins. And it was supposed to be in the, you know, a cover up. He said they do. But it never appear anything. So obviously, where he was born, and he started getting really bad because he was out he was living by himself. So the thing is that he was really bad. And I just remember that day, they say to me, you know, he is gonna be in the ICU. But we don't think he's gonna be. He's gonna be even tonight. So I want you to be with him. They will, although you can call your family. And I was like, what? Oh, my goodness, you know. And I went through a hallway in the hospital was weeping and weeping and weeping. And a lady appear from nowhere. And she just came to me say, can I pray for you? And I was like, yes, yes. And I will never forget that she started praying for me. And then she said, Do you know Jesus? As a yes. Well, I know God. Yes. I have heard about Jesus. Would you say? Yes, boy, I do believe that. I'm here. And when I saw you, I know I have to come to the hospital. She was used to go to the hospitals. She loves to pray for people that are in need. They are hopeless. And I was like, Well, yes. And she introduced me. You want to receive Jesus and I will say well, I will do everything that I have to do. If this is everything, I am losing my soul, you know, and I will give everything I would give my life for him. And she's okay, I did the prayer and this lady was there with me. From day one. All the time that I was in the hospital, I never knew her. But I bless her for what she did for me in the moment. So, one survived the first night, even when doctors say, he's not gonna leave, then they're starting to see how I can fix the areas they want to watch and was really bad. And they just discover many things in his heart. And they say we have to do a surgery for him. And you know, I was like, Well, yes, everything that you have to do, but they still say, we don't have like, man, we don't believe he's gonna even survive again. Like, we don't even know maybe in the middle of this surgery, he's gonna just not be there anymore. Say, well do what you have to do. But I never say this is the day that this lady pray for me. And I receive this Jesus, that I thought I knew. Something happened to me is like fate came upon my life, fate that I never knew before. And she said this horse to me. All things worse, we could say no, say, Well, I cannot see that right now. But I believe it. And she say, I know, I don't know your son. I know. He's just so much open. I know. He has a big purpose, as you have. And I say, Well, I believe you know, in, I just received all those words. In the day of the security came again, these are very last for eight hours. So you can imagine eight hours in a hallway, when you say just waiting for the worst news to come. But this lady was there. And I know the Lord put her there with me now, but I knew he was even him. I don't know how to explain this. And she was always there, even when my mom couldn't be there with me. And when he came out of the surgery, because I was reading the words, I will remember that she was praying with me and all these things in the doctor just came out say, Well, I don't know how he was really bad. And his pressures are crazy was hard to make him to be good. But he's, for now he's dirt. Let's just pray that he's gonna last. Thank you for that he's gonna last this night, you know? And I say, can I see him? But they say, I don't know, because he's not good right now. And I didn't know because he had these open heart surgery, obviously. And the first 72 hours, I know, we have a nurse here. And maybe she knows. And if anything will happen, they have to leave this part open. You know, and they just put like, I don't know, something there. But you can see everything. And I think the doctors were like, how we are gonna allow her to go in there, you know, per se. I had to see him and the lady was asking me Can I go with you? But it was hard for him to be with me in the ICU, you know, he was pretty bad. And I started saying to the Please can you just allow her to be with me? He's the only person that I have. And he was the word. We cannot do that. I say please. The thing is they I don't know how I do sister having this, you know, character that the Lord is trained. He was his training side of me. Why you said that he's not going to last. So what is the problem that she goes when me and maybe my baby needs me just let me be with him. And the doctor was okay. On their responsibility. Okay. So she goes in with me and my baby was laying there with all these cables. And it was really hard for me. I just broke out completely, and tears are praying for him. And I don't know how she just saw him and she say again, she started saying these words like I never I say I love how you pray how you say all those words. You know, because I had never seen people pray like that. How you did you study that's just no as the loggers Wow. In though, and she just started speaking this failover my baby and over me and again, it's like fade. It was getting stronger and stronger and stronger inside me. So that means the baby again made it another night again, and the doctor said he's not gonna leave. So Sebastian was like he was beating all of them, you know? And I do remember When the doctors say, you know, I just go and go to your house and pray because you can be here. But of course, I never went to my house, I will live in the hospital just in the hallways all the days and waiting for the 10 minutes. window that I have to see him in brain and, and a miracle sway. God just did something because many things happen. Like his process was really difficult. A pass a week he passed two weeks in Well, I would say he was a step by step easily, because he was really easily but he was going and going in. I do remember they, you know, he started waking up because he was in coma. He had started with introduced coma. Well, he then keep being in coma intubated. And he was another things that happen when people get used to be intubated more him there was a baby, it's like, his lungs didn't were not born by himself. He tried to descend to where he put he would have to do it again. So it was many prayers, many things. And I'm gonna just say this, my family started going and when they start seeing my baby, when they allow him to see them, they're staring speaking to me. Well, you have to, you know, maybe just spray and maybe the largest one to have his lie, because you know, there isn't a way they he may be his or slice speaking all these ways. And I don't know how, because maybe it could be true. I'm not saying no. But he was weird, because I just really felt bad giving me faith to believe for his life. And I do remember that it wasn't a moment. I don't know how I do believe now there was a lot, I felt this train also to say to my family, you know what, I don't want any of you to come to this spirit anymore. You don't have words of life. If you don't have words of faith, don't come speak that over me. Or my son. And I told them, even in front of you right now, I say, Lord, if you're one my son, I give it to you. But is your real that he's going to live, I'm going to transfer that I'm going to choose you're going to believe it. But no one worse, they are not for you in this place. My family started getting like, they think I was crazy. I don't know, maybe I didn't just want to live in a life of lights. And you know, I didn't care and who want to start getting better and better and better. And the doctors they're saying, like, we call him miracle. Because every day they would say something against his life. Like, you know, this is getting good. But this part is going back. Always. They were Sunday. I lost that for six months. And it was hard. In if I look for now, to the moment, we say Lord, I don't know how we made it. I don't know how, but he was him. He was his train. He was him by my side. He was that she says they will speak about the one who raised the debt, the one who appeals. And I do remember when he started getting better, and being more a kid, I would say many people would say to me how you as a mom, you like how you can possible see everything that they do to your son because they would see therapies, and I will be I will always be by his side. And the amazing thing is that when I was there, the Lord put this in my heart to be a nurse because I say I want to help people. I want to help them and it's like he gave me that strength because before I could even see blood and I will be just I will go crazy. But so I even at the time they Sebastian was there in a little bit. I was starting preparing me to be a nurse but instead of being his nurse, and I started having to be the providing for my son in the moment because I was in I was someone I love. And so I don't know Sebastian is already 16 years old. He was here yesterday. I don't know maybe many of you saw him or no but He's amazing. He's the most precious boy that I can never see. He has a beautiful heart. But he's hard in not what we see so hard. Like, I know he has the heart of God. He has taught me so much until this day. He's strong. He's really strong. And he has a cold. Say, since he was so little, he's, he can see angels. He's the angels. And he started even cheering worse. That sometimes was like what? And, you know, I knew that I was using his life, and I know he's gonna be used. And again, it has been a long path. Because he wasn't just those six months, the first five years were really hard. Because he was in all the therapies that you can imagine, he even left the hospital being feeding via something that he has, like, I don't know how he's called it to exactly until he was five years old. He cannot be around many people chinder Because he can get all sickness that you can imagine. So it was really hard. And again, always there was just something you know, that they will say against his lie, his health, but just got. And until today, I would say this, Hey, my family see him? And for them, it's a miracle. No, no, my family were Christian again. But they came to the Lord, because of once the question. And now it can I just see him, he just can see God, you know, through all of this. And then I just kind of say, I know they're part of my testimony. I had never shared this part. But tonight did a happy hearing. Oh, this person, the Father, I never grew up with a father. He had I went, I was so little, like months old, my mindset. And when I was going through that, that was watching. I do remember saying, my dad were here. He wouldn't be not this long. I was marry in a good way. And I can totally wait. But this man used to beat me. I was abused. And when I was born this way, I was with this anchor in my heart. Because this was used to beat me when I was pregnant. And he was so scared of him. And don't ask me how the Lord took these men away from Subversion and me. Don't ask me how he was just doing. And I never forget that. It's hard to beat up a long bone. And even when a child has this prolapse, and I I couldn't work either. And this is another testimony. Don't ask me how people would come to my house with Pampers. We milk with clothes for him. I don't know how it's like he never asked me anything. Anything. And when throws your three years pass by. I mean I because I started again. I went to church, I give my life to Jesus. And I use even when Sebastian was out of the hospital, I started going to church with him. And you know, I gave my life to him. When he was three years old, a lady came to me. And she gave me this word. I didn't know that was prophecy. Everything for me wasn't new. But she started saying things to me like she know me and I do remember just being broken. And she just her saying, you know, the Father loves you. And she just looked into my eyes. And she hugged me, Jesse, the father loves you. He has been with you. All the hardships that you haven't gone through and he say that he loves you and that he's gonna send you a man who is gonna love you the way that you deserve. He's here right now so let me tell you for watching, he's he's that was three years old when we met, he was the Lord to it will be another testimony because He was God. And you know, and Jeffrey just changed my lap, he brought healing the Lord bro healing is not been easy. But I'm just gonna tell you these I don't know how but I just love God. And he's real in. And the states that are happy here and this weekend and Thank you Nick for that word that you share about being in the secret place. Because when I start walking with the Lord, that became my place. I had a woman have a secret place, I will go into my closet, I will pray. I would cry when nobody sees me. But I received this one pastor always. Maybe the word does it. No, you don't have it knows you. And that's so true. That is so true. So I just want to take all of you. Thank you, Nancy, for Your Word, too. Because that's why I do believe is holiness. And being set apart for walking with Jesus is not easy. But trust me, he is so faithful. And he loves you. And when he put his eyes is over every person that is in this place. And I don't know of you, I don't know the hard things that you go through. But trust me, he has done this in my life. He every one of us have a purpose. Every one of us has a purpose. And he's faithful. And he has been remained faithful in my life and in the life of my family. And another part, I will say the part of the person, the third part of the testimony, and Jeffree Star being a police officer, just a month ago, and this was another call from the Lord. And I'm gonna say these two because this is about to see through the eyes of God. I had to see through the eyes of God, when people were saying to me, your son is not gonna live. But I believe they he gave me that faith to believe and see with his eyes. I have to believe even when everything that I went, I went through in a moment, even when this woman that I didn't know she also gave me this word. And I believe that. And I do believe that's through the eyes of God. Because if we put our eyes in the things that we see, is hard. But he will put our eyes through the eyes of God. We can believe that that's why the Bible say called the things that are know, as if they are but that it is just possible when our eyes are fixed on him. And again, even with deference job, many people will say, Well, you're going to be a policing disciple. And even myself, I asked that question to the Lord, Lord, you're calling this to him? And yes, it's easy, no, it's easy. But when the Lord called something you can believe in him. And I would do differently every night that are on my house. I say, Jesus, give me your eyes that I can believe that he's gonna return the morning. And he always, always, always, you know, and I know Jeffree Star with a purpose to. And we work this way getting out of the Army, and being a police officer seen through the eyes of God. So I just pray that all of you can just again, it's not just a testimony, three testimonies, one testimony, it just you can see through the eyes of God what Jesus can do. And then no matter how hard things are, there is a purpose. That's so true. So, so true. There is a purpose. And I just want to share even a word before I finish. I heard yesterday that when we were with the time of the ladies praying, the Lord remind me this we're about how Jesus describes himself the book of Revelation 19 And he's say that he has ice or fire. And I don't know why he says yesterday that I heard that word her, even last night I was locked eyes of fire. And I do believe that Jesus wants to say to us see see me, as Nicole say, eye contact, but not just see cheeses, or the cheeses that spoke to Peter get out of the boat. But see Jesus of that one, the revelation is saying his eyes or eyes of fire. And even myself, well as I was praying, Lord, I want to see your light with us is Of Fire, may your fire, come to me penetrate my eyes, and burn everything that is not from you. But send me on fire for you. More than I was yesterday, more than I was this morning. So I just want to share that in thank you again. Thank you guys, I want to say a prayer for you guys. And I'll tell you, one of my greatest honors in their family, my greatest honor and your family has been baptized with you guys. That was my greatest honor and with you and I want to say that you guys have been an inspiration to, to me personally. And to many of us. And I know you don't think it's a big deal. But you all have walked by faith. And much of that faith was birthed in your life in that crucible. And I know you didn't have time to go into it, but it's really fascinating as Lady shares. Then they came and said this, it's over. How many times did they say it's over? And you're like, No, it's not over and you got a hold of heaven. And you believed and you saw God together. And I'll tell you, Jeffrey, when you married into this faith you met, you got to the good end of the deal for sure. And so we saw that when you were confronted in and I felt like it was engineered this way, by Heaven. You were faced with a situation where you had to step out in faith, you weren't guaranteed anything. And it was a two year journey. I want to tell you guys, I'm so proud of you. i It was just we stood with you and said we know God will hear your prayers, we stand with you. And you believed God. And you moved here with no job you left what everyone was like, What what are you leaving, you know, and you stepped out because you were obeying God. And it means a lot to me because I remember how vulnerable I felt in those days, and how the Lord just came through. And I just want to say a prayer for him. Right now. If you would come a little closer because I want to be on the mic here. Lord, I just thank you so much. For lady and Jeffrey, thank you for this testimony. It's like Hebrews 11 it your story guys could be in Hebrews 11. And I think it will be I think Hebrews 11 is going to be a long chapter in heaven. And Lord, we thank you for their faith. We thank you for lady's faith, we thank You, Lord for Jeffrey's faith. And even though you guys may think, well, this is not a big deal. It's a big deal. And you have a gift that you can impart to many people who are going to experience the miraculous, they're going to experience things that were will be impossible without faith, but because of faith with God, all things are possible. And Lord, we just join with them and affirm this gift of God of faith to rise and to be imparted to the nations of people to many people, for the glory of God. Lord, we give you thanks, we thank you for one, Sebastian, we thank you for both of their sons. We thank You, Lord for their family. We thank you for the miracle. And oh, by the way, we thank you for the way revival has spread through lady's family, and they have all come to Christ because of your goodness, what a miracle it has been to watch this happen, and we rejoice with them now in Jesus name, Amen.
