    Overcoming the demon of addiction: The Story of Cameron Teeters

    Overcoming the demon of addiction: The Story of Cameron Teeters

    The Story of how a young boy who was raised in a good, christian home was seduced by the enemy of drugs and suicide.
    Cameron Teeters is his name. When I first heard his story I WEPT! You know why? Because there are many stories that I have heard like this where I attended their funeral.  Too many to count! But here’s the power of a praying mom and dad, and a praying church, a praying community!  Does prayer change things? Absolutely!!!  His parents waited, persevered, endured 8 years of a drug addiction by praying, fasting, standing on God’s Word, and believing for a miracle.  Now, you will hear the other side of the  story from Cameron’s own voice of HOW he was seduced, HOW he was set free,  and HOW the enemy LEFT HIM!!
    Now He is on fire for the Lord! He was really saved! SAVED, HEALED AND DELIVERED! Cameron says the way you STAY FREE is to be filled with the Holy Spirit and FIRE!
    The demon of addiction doesn’t play with you! He came to kill, steal, and destroy.  But God used a man, randomly on YouTube that cast demons off of Cameron.  You have to command demons to come UP and OUT and you shut the door to them so they no longer have access to your soul!  I can’t wait for you to hear Cameron’s full story.  Enjoy today’s episode!
    Here is the link to Cameron’s YouTube channel:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O21VRCqG1O4&t=6s 
    Here is the video  that Cameron watched when he was delivered from drugs.  The spirit that oppressed him lost its power when the power of God came upon him…..even through a video!! Tell me God don’t travel through the sound waves?????!!!!!  Of course HE does!!!

    Do NOT Be Discouraged! for the LORD YOUR GOD is with you! - Janet Swanson

    Do NOT Be Discouraged! for the LORD YOUR GOD is with you! - Janet Swanson

    Janet tells the story of David at Ziklag and compares it to a crow!
    Hey You guys! Today’s podcast is going to be fresh manna to your soul!  I just have one question for you: Have you been discouraged? If so, this episode is JUST FOR YOU! 
    The other day I was at the beach  to watch the sunset with my husband and we saw this black crow taunting this beautiful white BIG bird! The bird was sitting on tree branch, minding its own business, when this mean crow came out of no where as to say, “Hey…move out of the way…that’s my branch!”  This crow kept attacking the bird. But he bird just sat there and ignored it! I’m getting fiery mad just watching it! But the bird was calm, cool and collective! Every now and then the bird would raise its wings and shake off the crow, but remained immovable! Let me tell you….GOD SPOKE TO ME THROUGH THIS and I want to share with you what God showed me.
    1 Samuel 30:1-8 David and his men WEPT UNTIL THEY HAD NO STRENGTH LEFT!  Here in this scripture is the story of David and how he shook off the CROW at Ziklag! HIS CROW WAS DISCOURAGEMENT! What is yours?  
    The crow came to raid, to strip off, make a dash, to invade as in to take over, to remove FAITH, to skin him alive,  to strip the off and take David out! Captive: Taking...captive (163) (aichmalotizo from aichme = a spear + halotós = to be taken or conquered) was a military term which mean to take captive as a prisoner or be led away captive Strengthened: 2388 ḥāzaq – , tie up (like a bandage), refusal to let up; show strength that does not yield or quit; (figuratively) unrelenting, stay gripped, holding on to; cling with great "resistance-strength" being immovable; tenacity, strength which does not let go, won't let up, staying gripped ("locked on"); stout, unyielding.    
    I want to leave you with these scriptures and encourage you in the LORD!! DON’T BE DISCOURAGED FOR YOU WILL RECOVER ALL!
    Joshua 1:9
    "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
    Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
    "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
    Isaiah 41:13
    "For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Fear not, I am the one who helps you.’"
    Deuteronomy 31:8
    Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
    Psalm 94:18–19
    When I thought, "My foot slips," Your steadfast love, O LORD, helped me up. When the cares of my heart are many, Your consolations cheer my soul.
    John 16:33
    I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

    FREEDOM! Janet Swanson One Voice Makes a Difference PODCAST

    Janet talks about what it takes to become FREE in Christ Jesus

It’s our inheritance, it what God wants to give us.  I have a question for you. What are you running to for comfort, peace and tranquility? Food? Beer? Wine? Chocolate? Diet Coke?
    Or is it drugs, porn, shopping or sex? What ever it is…God wants to break the chains that are holding you in bondage!! It’s time!! Make up your mind….get’s some accountability….and l pray you will experience the power of the Holy Spirit moving upon every dark area in your life in the powerful name of JESUS.
    AMEN!

    Mario tells his story of pain and trauma and nothing that he went through was wasted PART 2

    NOTHING IS WASTED! - Mario Hernandez story, part 1

    Mario tells his story of pain and trauma and nothing that he went through was wasted
    PART 1
    You guys!!! I’m not gonna lie! I haven’t cried this hard with an interview in a few years! This man’s story pierced my soul! Mario was born out of rape! His only dad he ever knew (step dad) committed suicide and yet the Holy Spirit was knocking on the doors of his heart but he kept resisting the pull of the Lord. 
    His hatred for his mom fueled his bitterness and he blamed her for his dad’s suicide.  But God kept showing up on the scenes of his life.  Through it all,  God was speaking, and tugging on his heart. Then he was mowed down with a group of friends when he was hit by a car on the beach!! Mario was living a reckless life, but his pain was like the tide of the ocean when the tide goes in….it kept pulling him further and further to sea.
    But you guys! You’ve got to hear the emotion in his voice, the tears in his eyes as he tells you of the encounters he had with God.

Inspiring

Janet is the Worship Leader at my church. The testimony she shared at Freedom conference was one of the most inspirational testimonies I’ve ever heard. Her ministry was developed from surviving the trenches. She didn’t just survive, she now thrives by the grace of Jesus Christ. Her podcasts are relatable and I believe is derived from the wisdom our Lord provides.
Thank you Janet.
