Sometimes i have to pinch myself
All the classes at LCU have helped me grow so much spiritually I couldn't pick just one as my favorite. I continue to rely on God more and more and grow my relationship with Him. I have learned to recognize my authority over the enemy in all areas of my life and how to deal with them. I know my identity in Christ Jesus, which helps me become stronger every day. I know now how to pray and how to get my prayers answered. I am braver when it comes to praying for people, because I know that we should be like Jesus and have the same compassion for people that He has. I love the way the Holy Ghost moves in all situations and hearing from Him every day. God has moved so much in my life and my family's lives that sometimes I have to pinch myself to see if it is real. I am so happy for LCU and all the teachers for all their knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for answering the calling of God on your lives.

The Holy Spirit leads & guides us
I have had the Holy Spirit lead me and guide me in many situations both in my walk personally and in ministry work. This has happened many times while I was an LCU student. It is always such a joy. I have had some remarkable experiences as I obey His leading.
While on a mission trip in Costa Rica, we went to a local hospital. We had the opportunity to do skits and pray with patients. The Holy Spirit was present with us. I went with a team to pray with patients. God led me to the last room at the end of the hall on the 3rd floor. The room was full, with 10 patients in their beds.
In the corner, there was a woman sitting on her bed staring up with her hand raised. My interpreter, Rowan, and I walked over to her bed. Her eyes were black as coal and she was scratching her arms. I could see the demon’s presence in her eyes. I asked her if I could pray with her and she said, “Yes.”
I placed my hand on her head and proceeded to pray in Jesus’ name. I could feel God’s power flowing through me. I opened my eyes and I could see changes coming over her. Her skin was changing to a different complexion and her eyes changed to a bluish-green color. She then took my hand and placed it on her stomach where there was a large tumor sticking out. As I continued to pray, I could feel the tumor shrinking in and going away. She immediately jumped up on the bed and started yelling, “Jesús, Jesús!” Then she continued to jump from bed to bed.
Rowan turned a little pale, but I could tell he was excited about what had just happened. He said, “Mr. John, I’m sticking with you from now on!”
The Holy Spirit is incredible, and the presence of God is the greatest feeling in the world!

Using the authority of the believer
My mother suddenly suffered a seizure and collapsed. She was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. I laid hands on her and prayed. I then went about comforting my father who was understandably beside himself. He quietly said, “We’re going to go down fighting.”
I replied, “Dad, we're not going down.” In that moment, this man who had so viciously rejected my Christian beliefs over the years latched onto my faith and was encouraged.
In the rehab hospital, my mother’s recovery moved at a phenomenal pace. Instead of two weeks of "acute rehab," she was discharged to go home in three days!
The icing on the cake: my father received the Lord the night before my mother went in for surgery!!! The principles I learned in the “Authority of the Believer” course adjusted my mindset towards life in Christ. I've needed a deeper understanding of the fact that I could appropriate and truly walk out God's authority in the earth. Thank you so much for making the course available!
