THE BIBLE IS A BOOK OF TESTIMONIES THIS TREMENDOUS TESTIMONY TONIGHT - IS A POWERFUL ILLUSTRATION OF HOW GOD MEANS FOR HIS SAINTS TO LIVE...
A few minutes ago, I saw a video about an extremely powerful F4 tornado that tore through a swath of communities in Arkansas in 2014, destroying everything in its direct path, killing 16 people, and in one case, erasing a development of new homes that had not been built to standard.
The narrator and the comments typically reflected fear, awe and helplessness, in the face of these deadly phenomenas. Collective condolences were expressed for a young man who texted a ‘goodbye’ to his mom, as the monster storm raced towards his house. He said ‘I’m not going to make it’. He was right.
Why am I introducing the amazing testimony of a saint, who came to my house with a list of syndromes, and left delivered, with such a story?
Because I have a whole different filter than the world does when it comes to these controllable events…. I find myself getting angry; blaming the local ministers, and Joel Olsteen, and Kay Arthur, and John Hagee, and Joyce Meyer, and Dutch Sheetz, and pick your favorite prosperity minister.. or Baptist minister, or Lutheran, or Catholic priest.. anyone at all with a sizeable Christian platform - all of whom are failing in their mission to raise up disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ who are born again- sons of God → POWER FILLED, knowing their sonship rights - of which *FEARLESSNESS is preeminent, knowing how to SPEAK TO THE STORMS, and knowing and BELIEVING - LUKE 10:19 - that NOTHING CAN BY ANY MEANS HARM THEM. Or Jesus lied.
‘I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions
and to overcome all the power of the enemy;
and nothing will by any means harm you.’
*And I don’t mean fearlessness because we’re not afraid of death; I mean fearlessness because we know we’re not going to die.’ More than a conqueror means just that.
And if we have authority over all the power of the enemy, that INCLUDES the storms.
Read Psalm 148:8
‘Fire, and hail;
snow, and vapour;
STORMY WIND
FULFILLING HIS WORD.’
Yes, God has authority over the storms, but did you read the verse? It says they have to OBEY HIS WORD..
Now read Matthew 8:27 -
‘But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this,
that even THE WINDS and the sea OBEY HIM!’
OK So the winds have to obey JESUS CHRIST TOO..
Now - read John 14:12 and let it sink down deep into your heart..
‘Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.’
There is no mystery to what he was saying. You don’t need a Greek interlinear or concordance or Masoretic text to get what Jesus was saying.. He said - ‘YOU CAN DO WHAT I DO, IF YOU BELIEVE ON ME.’ He means YOU and ME.
The Psalmist said the STORMS obey GODS WORD.
Who is God’s Word - JESUS?
What can we do? SPEAK THE WORD ONLY..
and the storm will be calmed. Because the STORM MUST OBEY HIS WORD. ...can you speak?
As soon as that young man texted his mom to say ‘goodbye’,. it was over for him. He signed his own death certificate. What did he learn in church the weekend before? Obviously not what was going to save his life within a few days time..
It reminds me of Diana Spencer. Did you know that after she divorced prince Charles, she dated Dodi Fayed, the fabulously wealthy son of the owner of Harrods, Mohamed Al-Fayed.. Did you know that in August of 1997, Diana and Dodi got on his private helicopter and flew to the English countryside together to visit his ‘psychic’. What does a psychic do? They tell you your future. What did this psychic tell the pair that day? The weather they would have for their wedding? Who would win the rugby championship that year? Whatever they were told, 2 weeks later the pair were killed in a tunnel in Paris, in a car wreck..
So what is the difference between going to a psychic that misses the biggest event of your life only 2 weeks out., and going to a church that is missing the biggest part of Christianity.. THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH CONFERS POWER..
Heard about that last Sunday didn’t you?.. I trow not..
In fact, go online and look at that verse in Matthew about Jesus calming the storm, and what do you see? A LITANY of memes suggesting that ‘He is our ‘calm in the storm’. Sounds really nice doesn’t it? But is that what the word says”
HELL NO. WE ARE NOT TOLD TO ‘STAY CALM IN THE STORM’, WE’RE TOLD TO CALM THE STORM. Big diff.
Here were people in little Arkansas towns being killed in their homes or their cars, or even their bomb shelters.. because of the TERROR IN THEIR HEARTS. And from what I hear, Arkansas has a large Christian population..
So here I go ranting again.. But I’ll stop now, because I really want you to hear the OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN..
LISTEN TO THIS TREMENDOUS TESTIMONY, of someone who decided to BELIEVE GOD, and how it changed her life. I love this gal. Give her a listen and take it to heart., because THIS IS HOW GOD MEANS FOR US TO LIVE!
CLAUDIA’S TESTIMONY -
My sister Kelly, her son, and I, went to New York in July 2024 to learn about the power of the Holy Spirit. Victoria hosted us in her bed-and-breakfast and we studied the Bible for eight hours a day and then talked about Jesus, sang hymns, and ate together.
While I was there, Victoria and I talked about the diagnosis of bipolar that I received in August 2009… The Lord had been setting me up for this exact conversation.
-A Little backstory-
Four months after this diagnosis in 2009, I left my husband and children and a little over a year later I married again. During this time, I was not healthy; emotionally, physically or spiritually. I was on a slew of medication’s, and had horrible tremors and tardive dyskinesia1.
The tremors got so bad that in 2023 I could pretty much not write anymore. When I was at work I would have to get people to address envelopes to send things out because I couldn’t get my hands to form the letters.
In 2017 after a manic episode- and allowing my daughter to do things she shouldn’t have, I lost my children for a second time. They were no longer allowed to spend the night at my house.
Now fast forward to 2020 and I marry a man named John. His daddy was a faith healing evangelical preacher! John never really believed that I had bipolar, but he supported me because he loved me.
In August 2022 I stopped drinking and as my body recovered from that I started needing less lithium. I had been taking 1200 mg of lithium since 2009 but in 2023 I was only taking 600 mg of lithium.
On memorial day of 2024, I was at the lake with family and friends, and I appeared to have had, what everyone thought was a small mini stroke, a TIA, so I was sent to the ER. Turns out after many many test lots of brain scans and bloodwork, everything was fine. However, my lithium level was slightly raised, never in 15 years had I had a high lithium level even taking 1200 milligrams. But 600mg and my level was elevated.
Here comes our trip to New York. I called the pharmacy to get refills on the meds and they weren’t going to be available till Tuesday. We were flying out on Monday. I could’ve found a pharmacy in New York and picked up the medicine, but I didn’t have a car and we were in class all day - so I didn’t stress. I did have my lithium - just nothing else.
So we arrive in New York on Monday, July 15 and we start class on Tuesday.
On Wednesday morning Victoria and I were visiting before class that morning.. I started talking and told her about my bipolar diagnosis. She very calmly looked at me and said, “You know, mental illness is a demon.” It was so strange hearing her say that, but what was even crazier is that I absolutely believed her.
Now let me give you one more backstory- In June 2009 when everything was revealed to Chris, my then husband, he forgave me and told me he loved me. I fell asleep in our bed, and I woke up that evening. He looked at me in horror and said,” I don’t know what happened in here, but there were demons coming out of you.”
“I don’t know what happened in here, but there were demons coming out of you.”
Ok y’all, I didn’t grow up learning about demons. That was never talked about. Fast-forward to July 2024 sitting in Victoria‘s dining room on her window seat and she’s telling me mental illness is a demon. I asked her to please pray for me and release me from the demon in Jesus‘s name.
She anointed me with oil, prayed over me, and Jesus set me free! You can’t just stop lithium so for the rest of the week, I took my 600 mg and when I returned home, I dropped down to 300 mg for a week and then I stopped completely!
The Lord gave me the scripture - 2 Timothy 1:7
“ For I do not have a spirit of fear, but of power and a sound mind”
I spoke that scripture over myself 100 times a day and I still speak it over myself today.
The minute I was released from that demon that day, I picked up my notebook and pen and took the most beautiful notes in the Bible class! I WAS WRITING BEAUTIFULLY~!
I will forever be indebted to Victoria for being a disciple of Christ for picking up her cross and following Jesus! Because of her obedience, she was able to heal me in the name of Jesus Christ! No more medicine, no more TD, no more tremors. I will never hurt my children, my husband or my grandchildren; I am trustworthy and I have a sound mine, and y’all - I remember everything - and if there is something I need help remembering →I just ask God and he shows me every time!!
“If there is something I need help remembering →I just ask God and he shows me every time!!”
I was touched by Jesus and if it were not for Victoria Bingham, I would still be under the influence of demonic oppression, taking meds and suffering horrendous side effects feeling no emotions! (I didn’t even cry when my daddy died).
But now I cry, happy tears and sad tears. I have joy and my mind is clear, hallelujah!
Thank you Lord so much for Victoria’s obedience, for her loving me enough to tell me the truth. Victoria, you are sent by God and when your life ends, the Lord will greet you and say “ Well, done, good and faithful servant! Thou has been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
I am forever thankful to you and the love you showed me, a complete stranger. My walk with Christ is forever changed because of you. I love you!
Your sister in Christ,
Claudia Keller
THIS IS HOW GOD MEANS FOR US TO LIVE! The Life Jesus came to make available is ‘more than abundant’.
It’s not more than abundant’ if you’re living in the bondage of fear of storms or death or any other creature.
It’s not more than abundant’ if you’re living in the bondage of meds to ‘control’ syndromes that are ‘incurable’..
It’s not more than abundant’ unless you are duplicating the ministry that Jesus left to us - when he ascended up on high...
What does the Scripture say?
‘Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.’
So claim your gifts ladies and gentlemen. The first GIFT is holy spirit.. Then there are ministries waiting to be ‘coveted’, for the fields are white to harvest and the laborers are few’.
The time is now. The prize is to be pursued. The Restitution of all things is closer than when we first believed! Don’t miss grabbing the ring of Salvation! It’s as close as your breath.
But what saith the Scripture?
‘But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise,
Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
The word is nigh thee,
even in thy mouth,
and in thy heart:
that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.’ Romans 10:6,8,9
Then don’t stop there, GET THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND START TO WALK IN POWER! DON’T TAKE ‘NO’ FOR AN ANSWER’.. FOR ALL THE PROMISES IN US ARE ‘YEA AND AMEN’!
We don’t need Jesus to do our job. If there is a demon, rebuke him.
If there is a storm, rebuke it.
If you aren’t saved yet, call to him, call him ‘LORD”, For - WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.
Maranatha, Praise God, Glory be to God forever! HE’S COMING BACK.., and his REWARDS ARE WITH HIM!
Tardive Dyskenisia is what is known as an iatrogenic disease or disorder. Iatrogenic means ‘precipitated by pharmaceutical medication’. In other words, the only way to contract this dreadful syndrome of involuntary twitching, jerking, and muscle tremors, is from medication.
Thank you for sharing Victoria! I love you!
Praise Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Thank you seems small to say but I say it Thank you for hearing and doing all that He has put in your path.
