Hello folks. This is Princess.
You are listening to the Millennial Mustard Seed Podcast.
Thanks for listening. Don't forget to share with your
friends. That's tough.
We're in a very tough spot. I think that what we're doing
right now is a great benefit in virtue because it's an end
around between this whole corrupt informational system,
media system. We claim to believe in a God who
spoke the universe into existence and literally raised
himself from the dead, and yet we are not going to believe that
anything else exists in the spirit realm, even though His
word tells us that they do. Their bodies weren't permitted
to go to sleep like humans do, and they weren't permitted to go
to. Heaven, so they wander the.
Earth. You know, I've seen the eyes
turn black to unknown tongues being spoken.
These giants. Would live way up in the island.
The young, Braves the young. Would hide them in the.
They wait for one of these 12. Footers to come?
Walking down the path. And they would jump.
On them. And kill them and.
Drag them back to. The village and the village.
Would feast on the body. Then people start to get
weapons. They start to get armor, they
start to build cities. They start to fortify their
cities. Now God looks down and there's
violence everywhere. The battle, this war that we are
at is not against each other. It's against these
principalities and these rulers and these archons in the high
places. It's really worthwhile to read
the Bible yourself. Fear is one of the.
Primary drivers of mind control. Because we have to.
Take. Every thought.
Captive and resist fear. You're going to have a testimony
that is a justice case against the Kingdom of Darkness.

Hello, this is Stacy Chavis with Walkworthy Ladies Ministry and
you are listening to the Millennial Mustard Seed podcast.
Welcome back to the show, everybody.
I have an awesome episode in store for you guys.
I am blessed to have Stacy Chavis Chavis.
Am I saying that right? Chavis Yes.
Chavis OK, I want to make sure I was pronouncing that right.
There's my first edit for this episode, but it's a pleasure to
have you here with me on this episode.
We have ministered together a couple times.
Brother Klaus, your husband, he is a mighty man of God and I
know that. I've heard you have this
powerful testimony and just you have some stuff to share.
And the cool thing about the podcast is it reaches other
people. It's amazing to see how our
testimonies and how we just air air things out.
You know, just we talk about how we came to Christ and what God
has done in our life. It reaches other people.
So I am excited to hear your story.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for having me.
Absolutely. So why don't you start off just
telling us a little bit about yourself, what you're doing and
what is going on with the Ministry right now, and then
we'll dive into your testimony. Sure.
Klaus and I have been married for a little over 2 years now.
And together we travel, we evangelize, we have a ministry
together, and we also have our own separate ministries.
My ministry is called Walkworthy.
It's a ladies ministry that is geared towards equipping women
to walk in their God-given calling and purpose.
I also am extremely passionate about medical missions, so I am
endeavoring to do that. I'm in the process of finishing
up medical school in hopes of soon launching the Apostolic
Organization or the Apostolic Surgeon Organization, and that
will be focused on Apostolic medical missions.
I serve as a minister at my local church, and I am also the
Global missions director at my local church, as well as a small
group leader of a group of about eight women so heavily involved
in ministry, very active, very passionate about disciplining
and pouring into others, really loving, loving people, loving
God's people and trying to do that the best way that I know.
That is, that's powerful. I didn't know about the medical
school. So that's super cool.
And you're really walking and you're calling.
And so I believe your testimony that there's other women and men
out there right now that may be struggling and striving to hear
what God is calling them to do, to just get clarity with all the
different messages and signals in the world.
Sometimes listening to somebody else's story, we can kind of
perk up a little bit and go, wow.
Okay. So that's similar to maybe what
I was experiencing or that that's the way that maybe God
was trying to actually get through to me.
So let let's let's dive into your testimony.
So where where were you born and raised and when did you first
come to Christ? What was that defining moment
where you're like, I'm all in, I'm serving the king of kings.
I was born and raised in Tampa, FL.
I'm actually, I'm Indian. My parents are from Trinidad and
and so our background is religion wise.
Our background was Hindu. So my parents are Hindu.
I grew up as Hindu. I always knew that there was a
God. I always believed in God.
When it would be raining I would say ohh God is sad.
Or if it was thundering I'd say God is angry.
I I always knew that there was a God and even though I was a
practicing Hindu, it wasn't ever anything that I had a a very
deep, thorough understanding of. It was very just because it was
my culture, and out of tradition and habit I knew a few things I.
I really started exploring Christianity when I was in
college. I want to say I was we had a a
friend group of about four or five girls and most of them were
all from different states or different parts of town, and so
they didn't have cars. I was the only one that had a
car in my friend group and one of our friends liked to go to
church. And I would feel bad to just
drop them off and not go to church.
So I. I.
We would all go to church together and and so that that's
kind of how it started off. It started off in college going
to church with my friends and that's when I really first
started reading the word, knowing scriptures and pursuing
a relationship with God. I got.
I didn't get back. Okay go.
Ahead. Well, this is all like brand new
for me, so I didn't know this is the background.
So real quick, how does that work with the rest of your
family? Are you the only Christian like
in your family? No, I'm not my great
grandmother. She passed now, but she was
Christian and my grandmother is Christian.
I have also an uncle who's Christian.
There are family members scattered throughout who are
Christian. I wouldn't say that they're.
I would say they're as deep in it as I am.
My parents are not yet, but you know, I'm believing.
I'm believing God for for their salvation for my mom and my dad
and my sisters. And and it was, it was very
difficult in the beginning because there were so many
extreme changes within myself, the way I dressed or even just
like, you know, drinking, having a drink at dinner.
I wouldn't do that. I stopped wearing makeup and.
And so there were a lot of changes that they didn't
understand or agree with. And they're very strong minded,
opinionated people. And you know, of course, well,
you may or may not know, but in the Indian culture, there's
heavy emphasis on wealth and money and you show that through
jewelry and makeup and materialistic things, where as
in Christianity, it's more about living a meek, humble lifestyle.
And so I think that that's where the most tension grew from
because I would get, you know, these comments from my sister
like, well, why aren't you wearing any jewelry or where are
your earrings? And and so there was a lot of
persecution in the beginning that was very hard for me to
take. Wow.
Yeah, well, well, I know. I know from the perspective of
like when I came to the Lord. I had to, like, reinvent myself,
right? I had to let go of this music
and the partying and just this culture.
And and that was difficult because it's like you're coming.
I was coming out of this like, you know, Pennsylvania,
southeastern Pennsylvania, around the Philadelphia area.
It was just the culture that I grew up in.
It was cheese, steak, chicken fingers.
People were smoking weed. There was a lot of house
parties, everybody, you know, it was crazy.
To put the kibosh on all of that and then find myself kind of
alone and you feel like a target.
So I can only imagine, like, just hearing, you know, you have
this cultural impression where not everybody in your family
even understands Christianity because at least people in the
world, they have a concept of what Christianity is in America.
They're like, oh, you're one of those Christians, you know,
like, we get that all the time. But to actually like, you know,
see that, you know, you're having this cultural difference
where, like they're expressing. Their wealth or what they feel
is power through, you know, like you said, jewelry or just this
authority or this position, right, Vehicles, houses,
whatever it is, But you have this meekness, this reserved
power that's growing on the inside, but you don't look or
follow them with the attire on the outside.
So that wow, that's pretty deep now.
What is it? What does it look like to have
family gatherings at this point in time?
Like, I'm just, I'm just going to ask a simple question, but
take it from there and just, you know, dive into your testimony.
But are they peaceable with you at this point in time?
Like are they starting to understand the changes that are
happening on the inside in your belief versus just comparing
with the outside? Yes.
So the first year was probably the most difficult.
And and and that that's where I really faced a lot of that
persecution and a lot of the the tensions with spending time
together and and things of that nature because I'm very close
with my family. I'm my older sister is
essentially one of my best friends.
My mom and I are very close. I'm a daddy's girl.
I'm the baby of my family and so.
And so it was really difficult for the first year.
And actually I back slid. I back slid because of all the
pressure when I first I first got baptized in Jesus name and
filled with the Holy Ghost. February 7th, 2017.
It was a Wednesday night. It was a midweek service.
It was my first time stepping into an Apostolic Church.
A previous coworker. Had made a Facebook post who
wants to come to church? And some of the back story of
that was I had gone through a string of bad relationships.
I was in an abusive relationship before that.
The guy was dating actually ended up having a stroke and
everyone blamed me for it and and so I had already cut myself
off from like all my friends and all the partying and going out
and all of those things. And throughout that time I was,
I was in medical school and then I was forced to stop and I
started working a full time job and and so I felt really lost.
I felt very confused. I didn't know what my next steps
were going to be and I just wanted to go back to school.
I just wanted to finish medical school.
So I was really at a point in my life where, like I said, I was
just feeling completely lost. When my coworker made that
status, I at that time I had been searching for a a church
because a couple weeks prior I went to a women's.
Empowerment conference. It was like a Christian women's
empowerment conference with one of my friends and all these
women were talking about their church home and their church
family and you know the significance and the impact in
their lives of having this church family.
And I, even though my family was there in Tampa, I still always
felt alone and isolated. I felt like something was
missing. And so I I after telling that
conference, I said, well, I'm gonna find myself a church home.
And I went on Facebook and I asked for recommendations and I
got a whole list of recommendations.
And I went that first Sunday to a church I visited.
It was good, But I felt like I needed more.
So I thought I would have to wait till the next Sunday, not
knowing that Wednesday night was a church service.
And I was supposed to hang out with my sister that night, but
something was just drawing on me that I needed to go.
So I went and the pastor preached and and so my friend,
she sat down next to me and I just broke down crying.
And she was asking me what, what was wrong.
And I just told her how I felt so lost.
And I didn't know what I was doing.
I wasn't working. I wasn't in school.
I just felt really lost, like I didn't know what my next steps
would be. And I grew up as someone who
always had a plan, always had an outline, always, you know, very
accomplished, did well in school, always knew I was going
to be a doctor. You know, everything had always
been laid out for me. So this was the first time I
really battled with something like that.
And she talked to me about baptism in Jesus name.
And I had been baptized before when I was in college, but it
was one of those Friday night youth event kind of things and I
really didn't agree to it or know what was happening.
They just kind of said who hasn't been baptized and then?
Took us all into the back and baptized us.
So that was different. So so I wasn't sure what they
said. So when she was asking me, well
did you have you been baptized in Jesus name?
And since I wasn't sure, my thing is like, well, I'm just
going to do it again just to make sure.
So I got baptized in Jesus name that night and then they said,
do you want the Holy Ghost? And I said yes.
And they prayed for me and I received the Holy Ghost.
And it's an experience and a feeling that I'll never forget.
It was like this. Electricity came up through my
right hand and my began in my fingers and just went up through
my arm and like across my body. And I just.
I felt God. I like.
I felt him and a way that I had never felt him before.
And and it was amazing. And I felt whole.
I felt healed. I felt joy.
I felt peace. It it was that joy, unspeakable,
that that so many of us talk about Nothing could get me down.
I mean, I was go. I was still going through it.
I still had all the same problems.
But. I knew that I would never have
to be alone again. I would never have to feel that
loneliness. Something I didn't mention
before was that I had been suicidal.
I was suicidal when I was in college and then I was suicidal
during that season prior to deciding to to look for a job or
a church. Because I was talking about how
I had this string of bad relationships and and that led
me to you know, want to take a whole bunch of pills, you know
just end all the pain and and just be gone.
Because I've. I felt like it would better be
better for me to just die than to than to live.
How I was living. And all that pain and all that
hurt and all the rejection and and just the the trauma that I
had gone through in my life through like my family and
relationships and just disappointments and hurts that
happen. As if you go through life and
you get older. And God he you know he instantly
removed all of that I had. I turn.
I turn to all the things that people turn to in the world.
I turn to drinking. I turn to drugs, smoking, and
and trying to numb the pain and escape reality.
I did all of those things, but at the end of the day, you know,
it didn't take away the pain or the hurt.
Not like when I was filled with the Holy Ghost and it felt as
though God came in to my broken heart and healed every every
crack and every crevice every hole and and I felt that peace
and that joy and and that's when things really started to change
for me. And I mentioned that I I back
slid. I back slid for a couple of
months. I was in the church for about
six months and then the pressures just became too much
and certain things happened at church and I felt like I don't
need to deal with this. And I left.
And I and I kind of battled with it.
I struggled with it. But I always prayed.
I never stopped praying. I never stopped seeking God.
And I would say to God, well, if it's your will for me to go back
eventually I'll go back. And I did start to make my way
back. I didn't fully recommit myself
till about six months after when I started going back.
So it's about September of the following year, September 2018.
And for me the difference was relationship, because when I
first got saved, I was doing all these things in the church.
It was a smaller church and they needed help and and I had the
time and I had the giftings and the talent.
So of course I was going to give myself to helping, but in doing
that, I neglected nurturing and building my relationship with
God. And in those months that I was
away, I I was able to pray and pursue him and grow in my
relationship with him. Meanwhile, still being in the
world, still going back to doing all those things I was doing
before. But but God was with me and he
was giving me that grace and he was building me up to go back.
So when I went back, I was rooted in who I was.
And because I was rooted in who I was, I knew who I was in
Christ and who he called me to be.
I I had a confidence now where I was, I was social and I was
hanging out with these people. I was being used by God and
getting all these opportunities to to testify and and to help
start organizations and do marketing for all the churches.
Because we're where a network of about more now but at that time
about 27 churches and you know really helped to to do some
vital work for the ministry of God.
But it's it was about that balance of Mary and Martha that
I had, you know, prayer. Prayer was prayer was vital.
It was important to me. I made time for prayer.
I made time for my relationships with God.
And I saw a difference even in how I was the marketing and
events director for my church when I first got there and and
when I returned they asked me to come back into those positions
and I did. And I saw such a difference
because now everything was God. Let everything was God inspired.
The Flyers, the colors, the events, everything was God
working through me. And because it was God,
everything was now fruitful. Wow.
So yeah. That's powerful.
So it's almost like.
God get is like waking us up to Our Calling and and what does a
good father do, right? Because like for me, the way
that I grew up is like me and my dad didn't have the best
relationship. You kind of was working a lot
and going a lot and when he was around it was always like, okay,
don't do anything wrong, walking on eggshells.
So when I came to Christ, I came with like this, oh, I got to be,
I got to be perfect. I can't do nothing wrong.
And then? I'm feeling like I was going to
get squashed like a bug when I started to backslide and and
wrestle with things. So I hear other people's stories
and what I'm seeing is just like, God is a good father.
Like he's just waiting. He's like, I have a calling for
you. I have an anointing for you.
And like, just him seeing the finished product of Jesus Christ
in us. No wonder why it's a double
portion of grace when we're figuring it out, because I
really feel like God is so patient with us.
And and really just he, he knows how much bondage from the
secular things that we go through, the things with our
family, all the systematic desensitizations, the Airways,
the frequencies of the enemy posturing himself to try to
defeat us. We're really walking miracles,
to be honest with you, Stacy. We're all of us.
We're walking miracles. And then God is calling us out
of the darkness is like, That's what keeps me in love with God
even more, Just at like. Where I'm at right now, because
I'm going, God, you just keep leading me closer to you.
Like I don't bring nothing to the table.
I'm. I'm nobody but you.
Oh, the majesty of the king. So I love hearing.
I love hearing that story because that's cool.
So you're still in these roles. You're still working with
churches. You're ministering.
You're with the small woman's group.
You're training up other women, which is that's so biblical.
Women, listen to me for one second.
When you start living godly, God is working this out in you and
he's showing you things. We have to be willing to bury
each other's burdens and so fulfill the law.
We have to be willing to be like, listen, I'm going to start
the small group never despise small beginnings.
I learned that and a core group of of women that you're you're
it's like a Bible study. You guys are doing a prayer meet
and is any of that open? To, let's say if listeners
wanted to come and join you on like a, I don't know, a zoom
call or how do you do this? Do you do anything that's online
as well? Cuz I know with Klaus, he has
digital disciples ministry, he does some YouTube stuff.
So let's talk a little bit more about your ministry.
Yes, absolutely. It's open.
It's open to ladies wherever whosoever will come.
It's The group is primarily based off of Facebook.
It's a private Facebook group, so if you just search Walkworthy
and you send a request to join, you can join.
I post lots of content in there. I share words of encouragement,
upcoming events, whether they be online or in person.
A lot of the teachings are done online, and even if you're not
able to join the live teachings, I do the live teachings on Zoom
For those that are not able to attend when it's live, I do
record it and put it on YouTube as well.
Right now we're doing a summer series, reading through the book
The Bait of Satan, which is a study on a fence, which is I
feel like it came directly from God to me for such a time as
this, because we know. At in this life you will face
offense. You know Jesus says that.
And we know that we're in the last days and many will be
deceived and many will be deceived because of offense.
So I feel very strongly you know about that, that teaching that
I'm doing. Again with everything that I do
for ministry, it's God led, God inspired.
I don't want to do anything of my own will or my own volition.
So I felt led to do a summer series on the bait of Satan.
So we're about in Week 3 right now.
So that's what's going on with that.
On YouTube. I'm Stacy Chavez, but you can
find all the walk worthy videos on there as well.
And I'm very active on social media, on my Facebook and my
Instagram. People reach out to me for with
questions, for mentoring or counseling.
I also do mentorships as well and not just with ladies that
are here, but anywhere because I know that it's hard.
It's hard being a woman trying to do what God called you to do.
And we're not always surrounded by strong women of faith that
will pour into us and help us and guide us and lead us.
Thankfully, that was not ever my story.
I had so many women to pour into me and to guide me and lead me
when I first started my walk. So I feel that it's only right
that that I do, that I yeah, I'm just very passionate about
equipping and enabling women. While the world aims to have
women pit themselves against each other and make everything a
competition, we know that as women of God, we should be
praying for one another, uplifting one another,
supporting one another. There's more than enough room
for all of our giftings and talents, for all of our
abilities, and we can accomplish so much more together than we
could ever apart. Wow.
Very well said. And that drive and that passion.
I I love the last part that you said there's plenty of room for
all of us and God's gifting and our ability because we there's
just so much that we have vision and dream to come to pass,
right. And it's like there's there's so
many things that we know God is moving and wants to do.
But I believe from God's perspective it involves like.
A lot more people than are currently participating.
So when I see somebody who's like full-fledged and feeding
flock and and training our people and just taking that
time, I believe that's bringing the bigger picture into focus.
Because we're supposed to pray for more laborers, right?
Because the harvest is is going to become more plentiful, but
the laborers are few. And so when we're we're.
Planting that seed and watering that seed, it's a good wage and
God is going to get glory because he's going to cause it
to grow. So interesting, very interesting
story. And then I know you've came up
here, you and Klaus, a few Times Now, and we've had some powerful
prayers together I want you to talk a little bit about.
What the drive and the mission is that God is is leading and
tugging you guys too. I mean we can even talk about
like greater than Azusa Street, right?
That is starting to pop up now where we know God is doing
certain things with people all around the country and and
within the states around us, right.
So talk a little bit about how God has been preparing you guys,
and I mean any the good, the bad, the ugly, whatever you feel
like sharing. But help us understand.
So as other people start to minister and they start to go
out and walk faith on a line of faith, maybe maybe there's
something you can say that they can relate to A lot of people.
When I first got saved, I think I had been saved for maybe about
a year or two. I think I was saved for two
years and the church that I came out of or moved from, I should
say, when I got married, had a has a Bible school where you can
go through all the classes and you can become a licensed
minister. And I felt that I was called to
become a licensed minister. So I started these classes, of
course, with the approval and support of my lead pastor, and
lots of people told me that I was crazy.
You're crazy for pursuing your minister's license.
Once you start preaching, once you start ministering, that's
that's when the enemy really starts to go after you.
You know, you're putting a target on your back.
And I thought, what is stupid reason to not do what God called
you to do? So I went ahead and I I still I
did it. I I took all the classes.
You know, I'm going to, I'm going to do what God called me
to do. And if I'm doing it, I'm doing
what God called me to do, then I know that God is going to
protect me and he's going to see me through.
And just like it says in James count it all joy when when these
Childs come knowing that you are being perfected and and that
scripture has been a caring theme in my life probably for
the last maybe four or five years.
And and Klaus and I were just friends when we talked about all
the ministries we were going to have and all the things that we
were going to do. That's really how our our
friendship came about was talking about God and who God is
and and all the things that we wanted to accomplish for God.
And so we always knew that we were going to do all these great
big things for God. And when when this year started
and and Klaus got the vision for greater than Azusa was confirmed
over and over and over. The word that God gave me for
this year is unprecedented. God said he is going to do
unprecedented things this year. And we know that Azusa started
out of prayer meetings and we really need to get back to the
basics of prayer meetings and seeking a move of God.
And even with what happened at Asbury the a few months ago, it
was birthed out of a prayer meeting.
It was birthed out of out of a group of students tearing in the
Lord and and we have gotten so far away from that.
Now church services are preaching for 45 minutes and
praying at the altar for 10 to 15 minutes, when really it needs
to be the opposite. It needs to be praying for 45
minutes to an hour, probably more with very minimal preaching
and teaching. We don't really need to to do
that much preaching, especially to the saved you.
You preach to the boss, you teach the saved.
And so we kind of have to correct a lot of church culture
as it is today in America. You wouldn't think it, but there
are so many places in the United States where people don't have a
church, they don't have a church in their area that they can go
to or they don't have a church in their area teaching truth.
And so Klaus and I have a burden to go to those areas.
You know, we go up to Pennsylvania, we go to Northern
Virginia. There's a church that Klaus
pastors, the pastor of that church in Louisiana.
And I know that there are more that are going to be coming.
And so we have such a burden for these people because they don't
have a church that they can go to.
They don't have a group of people to fellowship with on a
weekly basis or someone to meet up with them and counsel them or
pour into them. So you do have, you know, that's
why you see these Internet famous preachers, because so
many people now in this day and age are drawing to the Internet
to find truth, to find teachings to be fed.
Because they're they cannot get fed at through any other means.
And this is vital, vital for us to answer the call.
It's vital for us to disciple. It's vital for us to counsel and
to pour into into others. And so we do have people that
reach out to us on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook.
They need counsel, guidance. We schedule zoom calls for
prayer, for counseling and and we do all that we can do to help
these people. And it's a beautiful thing too,
because then we get to connect with so many different people in
other States and other other areas and even in in other parts
of the world. I think it was the end of last
year, I had a girl ask if Klaus and I were going to be coming to
Toronto anytime soon because she wanted to get baptized in Jesus
name. And normally when they're far
away like that, I'll try to find a church that I can connect them
to. If not, you know, we'll find a
way or make a way to meet them somewhere or get to them.
That's how we met Terry Allen. We drove up there to baptize him
and I was able to connect her to a church and she was able to get
baptized and get get the Holy Ghost from an Instagram message.
I mean, you can't make this stuff up, but we all we can't
limit God, you know? And a lot of people try to limit
God that he can't work in on certain avenues or through
certain things. But I got saved through a
Facebook post. I met my husband on Facebook.
I mean, Facebook is responsible for half of my my, my ministry,
my destiny. I mean, like, what a what a
millennial testimony. Like, yeah, Facebook did it.
Exactly. Oh, that's epic.
That is. I'm so happy you're here sharing
this story. I think there's a whole
generation of people that agree the millennial generation are
nodding their heads as they're listening to this.
Yes, exactly. Yes.
But, and I said this on another recording, I'm like, man, if the
Apostle Paul was here, he'd be on a podcast.
Like, he would utilize everything, right?
He'd be writing letters. He would be out on the street.
He'd be on a podcast. He'd be on a YouTube video.
You would literally find him everywhere.
You'd find him in the car yelling out the window as he's
traveling to baptize somebody else.
He'd be like, man, this is much better than walking.
But and and the day and age we live in, we are using the
enemy's Airways, right? Because the Prince of the power,
the air, this enemy, he's got the Airways jacked up.
He has people messed up in all types of ways.
But we are on a battlefield and a mission field by doing what
we're doing right now. It is, it is significant
sometimes beyond even what I realized.
Like I'm like, oh podcast, another episode.
I'll pray, I'll say, God, give me wisdom.
I'm interested in this story and I don't just release any episode
on this platform. Like I'll I'll pray about it.
I I try to capture what I see that's beautiful in somebody
else. Or if I know somebody's legit,
like, they really have the heart to be doing this.
They're walking. They're talking.
I try to collaborate with that person.
Like, your story needs to be heard because, hey, we have too
many actors. We have too many actors out
there, and acting is never going to actually make a disciple.
And there's no power in that. There's only people just be
lusting over them, right? They're just, they want what
they have. Oh, I want to be like this
person. Oh, I want to sound like this
person, but really we have the sons and daughters of God that
are starting to come into position of the Eclaicia.
We are starting to come into correct order and position by
networking, praying, what you were saying.
Yes, Oh my goodness, that is what we need to be doing at this
point in time. And man, I'm enjoying this
conversation. So let's talk about have you
I've never asked, have you ever had a supernatural experience?
Have you ever had a dream of vision or any anything at all
that deals with the supernatural, like with your
your time in the Lord or even before that?
I've had many. I've had many.
Supernatural. Yeah, I've had many.
Supernatural. Both.
Both before I got saved and
after. Yeah, okay, Are you willing to
share? Share one from before you got
saved and then let's talk about one after and then just just
walk us into it. Share as much as you wanna share
what happened. Well the before I got saved.
I won't go into too too too many details but.
We know with Hinduism and in the West Indian culture there's
voodoo like practices and you know very what we know now or
what I know now to be witchcraft.
And so that had gone on. And I just recall always being a
person of prayer. You know, I always gave myself
to prayer and fasting and things of that nature.
And in Hinduism we have what is equivalent to a pastor or priest
and what it's called a pundit and.
We you can get these readings and they're kind of like
astrological readings, I suppose.
I'm not sure of the ins and outs of it, but a cousin of mine who
I consider like a brother. Had got a reading for me from
his pundit and they told him that someone had a a doll of me
like a a I guess like a voodoo doll of me and that it had so
many pins in its in its head that you couldn't even see its
face. And I believe that this was
around the time that I was just starting college and I was going
through a lot of. Difficulties transitioning and
things like that. Which is why I believe that I
reached out for the reading to try to understand what was going
on and I was told to go on a fast which and Hinduism fasting
is basically like a Daniels fast where you just don't eat meat.
And I remember being in my room one night and it was like these
black. Ghost like figures were just
like swirling in a circle above my bed and I was so scared I
just hid under my covers. And I had never experienced
anything like that before till this day.
I'm not entirely sure you know what was happening or what was
going on, but apparently there was a person who was wishing
evil upon me and wanting me to take my life.
Which did happen. I I did find out afterwards
like, 'cause I mentioned that I had, you know, battled with
being suicidal and my freshman going into sophomore year of
college. I went through some things and
and I had a very big bottle of Motrin and I took a lot of those
pills. I ended up telling one of my
friends. And they took me to the
hospital. I had to get my stomach pumped.
I ended up at Jackson Crisis Center, 'cause I went to College
in Miami, So I was in that area. They wouldn't let me out.
My dad had to come pick me up. It was a horrible experience.
It was so horrible. I was like, I will never do that
ever again. Just for the mere fact of like
all the things that you have to go through after you attempt to
suicide on your life. And so after the fact, I had
found out, yeah, this person wanted you to kill yourself.
And I said, oh wow, cuz I actually did try.
And it's just crazy how? Yeah, it's crazy how Like
everything is spiritual. You know, whether you see,
whether you see how it's related in the spiritual or not,
everything is spiritual, saved or not, everything has spiritual
implications. So Stacy, you've been through a
lot and you've dealt with a lot of supernatural encounters and
just you know the attempt on your life.
But the Providence of God and God's hand and plan for your
life is really, it's this victory story.
It's a story about overcoming and it's a story of obviously
the proof is there that God is using you and positioning you
for the Kingdom. So it's just amazing to see how
he works all things together for the good of those who are called
according to his will and purpose.
And this is a heartfelt story that you're sharing with us here
on the Millennium Must Have Seed podcast.
And honestly, I'd love for you to come back for a Part 2.
Stacy, is this story your journey?
Your story is really going to speak to somebody out there.
Amen. I've always tried to use my
testimony to help others and to allow others to.
Help alleviate some of that that stress and burden of going
through things that they don't have to go through by sharing my
testimony and my my journey here.
And hopefully I pray that it encourages whoever may hear this
to continue pursuing God and and His call on your life.
Because he is faithful and as the word says he will finish the
good work that he started in you amazing.
And if you guys have been affected by Stacy's story, it's
it's moved you deeply. You can connect with something
that that she's went through or just the overcoming journey in
general. Just seeing the goodness of God
tasting and seeing that he is good.
How he literally can take everything that was against us
and flip it and bring it so that it it's ammunition and power for
us to be able to help minister to other people.
