Testimony of How it All Came to Pass:
This stage of Freedom to Soar began one spring sunshiny day when I looked out over this city of Calgary, and suddenly I felt a big "punch" to my belly as a Picture from the heart of God came into view. It seared my being as God began to show me the rich, the poor, the lonely, the dying, the lost, the confused, those who were struggling and those who needed a community to walk this journey called life with, (even many found in churches). Hundreds were weeping because of having felt misunderstood, feeling alone, rejected, abused, tossed aside, and very broken. Many were also experiencing losses: loss of family, loss of jobs, loss of homes, loss of income, loss of children, and loss of spouses and I also saw some who had spouses who were struggling with addictions. I began to weep uncontrollably.
About a week later, my experience continued as one day during worship while I was dancing to the drumbeat and I was flagging with my golden flag, suddenly I was overcome.....and melted into the carpet. I covered myself with my flag and tried not to cause a disruption. Lying there I heard and felt the earth.... groaning ..... Groaning for people to come to the destiny that was supposed to be theirs.... groaning...... And I KNEW the Only ONE Who had the Hope and the Expertise to Renew, Restore, Revive and Resurrect! Again I was undone.
Amidst my tears, I kept crying out; even the earth groans and the rocks cry out. I felt the earth shuddering as it also "was crying out" for those who need a home, a place to belong, a place to learn, a place to grow, a place to be equipped and a place to be loved back to life. I wept in sobs for a very long time as God showed me many things and allowed me to feel His Heart for the people in this city. How I longed to reach out and hug them all to wholeness! I couldn't wait to see them rise up to Soar in their Freedom, accomplishing their dreams; flying above the mountains of despair... Right into the heart of the Father and the Rainbow Promises for their lives!
It was time for them to come home, to feel Happy and Joyful and full of Hope once again! And God had given me the keys!
When I, Holly, first moved to Calgary in 2010, I was very lonely and very much suffering loss and especially missing my children and grandchildren. I had suffered many losses (definitely not my first losses in life) with this particular move. Not being able to be in the same city as my children or grandchildren was one of the losses I was working through, but also the loss of a beautiful, custom made home with a million dollar view, the loss of my city that I loved, the loss of my friends, the loss of my brother, the loss and betrayals of others. And it was here in Calgary that God began to breathe hope into my very existence.
God took me to Southside Victory Church where I began to fellowship and to heal. He told me this was my "Tribe". The people from this fellowship and other fellowships, slowly loved me back to life.
Being that I came from a background of Healing and Deliverance Ministry, and that I understood Prayer and intercession a, Dreams and Visions and the Prophetic side of life, (which really means I listen to God speak and He helps me to see, to feel, to hear, to touch with His heart), it was time to once again reach out to others with encouragement and new life.
Yes, I have felt the healing touch of my Lord, in so many ways; physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually, mentally; and through my many testimonies of God healing and restoring me, I was drawn into powerful encounters and experiences with Him, and His Kingdom. I began to know in deeper ways that I am a child of Royalty, a child of the King!
Through the Word of God, my Heavenly Father, through Worship of Jesus Christ and through knowing the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit, my eyes were opened, I rose above the mountains of hardship. Higher and higher I went like a kite flying until I no longer had strings and chains that tied me to the earth. Like a wind, God breathed me higher and higher into His very being until I could walk in victory after victory.
Do you want to know more? Come to hear not only my "glory" stories as I share the lessons I have learned, as well as the supernatural encounters I live; but also to walk alongside others who are reaching for their ultimate promises and hope for their lives as well. They too have many stories and encounters along the way. We are a vulnerable, safe community in which you too can find restoration and fellowship, hope and a sense of belonging. Let's walk together! For we are warrior brides, an army of The Lord!
