Women of War Conference Testimonies
 

March, 2002

 

We definitely experienced the WOW’s of God as He wooed His Bride to Himself at the Women of War Conference in Portland, OR!  Tracey wrote, “Both conference sessions I attended were life-changing experiences!”  Antonia commented “The speakers were very personal and real, the dancers fresh and creative; the musicians sensitive to the Lord’s godly order in all of it.  I was touched – all of it was a labor of love and beautiful, just beautiful!”  Christine testified, “As Deborah ministered and prayed for the women it was so powerful and intense that all I could say was, WOW!” 

 

Conference Comments: 

  • Linda noted it was “one of the best conferences I have attended in over 25 years!” 
  • “I received miracles, life changing miracles!”
  • “I just wanted more! I am still chewing morsel after morsel from the speakers.”
  • Marie said, “It was a 10+++, Wonderful! Awesome! Magnificent! WOW! To God be the Glory!!
  • “A 10+!  Very wonderful and powerful! Pat Cocking was an awesome teacher and Deborah as always, was moving as God’s powerful Fire Ball! I will come next year, and the next and the next!”

Last year I told my husband to leave after learning he had been molesting my daughter for seven years.  Recovery from the emotional abuse, seeing to the wellness of my four children, and dealing with the grief has all been a full-time job plus some.  I went from providing one-third of my household income to being the sole provider.  I have so walked in His blessings and provisions.  I know if I will respond to His promptings, He will bless and bless and bless and bless!  TWO college-age boys and several paid-off debts later, I am still alive and kicking.  I don’t make a tone of money as a church secretary, but gifts come my way every time I have a need (including vacations mandated by God … and your recent Dove’s conference).  A few months ago deep depression came over me, and I felt the weight of great GUILT.  When I learned of this conference, I knew I was supposed to go.  The day after I wrote the check for the conference, God also supplied the funds for the conference AND the hotel, food, etc. 

 

God had told me to write down EVERYTHING I felt guilty about. The list was THREE pages (typed)!  It paralyzed me emotionally.  God told me to put it in my purse.  I asked Him for deliverance this weekend.  Today when Penny stood for healing for people suffering from self-hate, self-rejection, God said this was my deliverance. He is so faithful.  Deliverance has come!!  Healing has come!! The burden is SO gone!

 

As a follow-up, God told me to give the pages of guilt over to someone so I could NEVER handle it again, and NEVER consider it again, and NEVER give place to it again.  I will celebrate this day as a milestone of victory for my Lord, my Savior, my King, and my Lover, Jesus!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!”  I am sure God has prepared far more exciting things than you can even imagine in Australia, so dream big, Deborah!  I am praying for you and your ministry.

 

With love and prayers,

Dear Deborah,   

 

I wanted to take some time and give you some feedback on the conference. So many times we conferees don’t take the time to provide this information. I want to share with you that I grew up in an Assembly of God Church, and when I was about 14 I decided that I would not go to church on a regular basis anymore. This caused me great grief in more ways then one (major beating from my dad – almost to death). I went away from the Lord but never lost my belief, even through my mother’s murder when I was about 23. But I kept going my own way, which led me through so many awful trials and tribulations.

 

About 3 years ago this April, at the age of 51, I decided that I had had enough and needed peace in my life. I went through a deliverance that was the beginning of an incredible journey which would take too long to describe but has been so rewarding with many “signs and wonders” along the way. Both my sister and I received the forwarded e-mail from the Elijah List at about the same time. While I was considering calling her about going, she called me and we signed up. We had no idea what we were going to and decided that we were really stepping out in faith.

 

I must say that the first night, we looked at each other and said, “oh my what have we gotten ourselves into?”  There were these people there laughing hysterically and so many other things that I had never been exposed to. We decided to just give it a chance. Well, I must tell you that the both of us went away from the conference with so many blessings; it was truly unbelievable!

 

You have a powerful gifting that, in my “old” days I would have run from like the wind. Now I just embrace all God has to offer through you. You are a woman of POWER, God’s Power. WOW!! I received the Holy Spirit blessings so many times and each day was more blessed. At one point, I saw through my spirit, an arc of fire that went from your left shoulder to your right shoulder over the top of your head. I was amazed! These experiences are just so awesome to me. I am still a “babe” in Christ but in the last 3 years I have had a fire hose approach to getting all I can get of God’s Word and to experience his blessings. Your conference took me to a new level that I want to embrace with all my heart. Your conference has answered so many of my questions about so many biblical concepts.

 

Pat Cocking is just awesome. She is a powerful teacher with such a wonderful message. I could listen to her all day long and just soak up all the Glory she has to share!  The Glory dancers were just wonderful. The Wedding dance and the dance of the Eagle and all the others were absolutely beautiful. More blessings.  And Keta has such a beautiful voice, one that would inspire me to follow if I weren’t already a follower. The setting was gorgeous as was the weather. WOW!! God Blessed you and all of us all the way around!

 

There was one special woman, as I am sure you would agree, and here name I think is Melvia. She provided a gift from God to my sister and I. It was beautiful and so special having to do with our Mother and my sister’s grief of her loss that she had not previously released. She encircled both of us with a “mother’s” hug that allowed my sister to release the most powerful grief that I had never seen come from my sister before. Extraordinary blessing!!  Incredible! So healing!!

 

Thank You so very much for providing the setting and the atmosphere for this incredible experience! I will forever remember it as a “heavenly” experience! You are so real and you will be impacting millions of lives through your ministry. God Bless You and your team who worked so hard to make this conference such a success!!

 

 Thank you and God Bless you,

Hello and God bless you all with His great peace and grace.  I was so blessed at the Dove’s conference!   His Grace and Mercy on you and all of your ministry.  I just wanted to touch base for a quick praise report.

 

I was so blessed the Thursday night service on Me, Me, Me and self, self mentality, I recognized some of that in me and repented and felt strengthened and healing.  I started getting into the brown robe of humility and I pray God will continue to do His work.  My husband and I laid in bed Saturday and I told him of the wonderful things God did for me.  Liberty and healing, and breaking off the chains of fear of loss and fear of my husband finding someone else to be with.  I was able to stay at the conference Thurs and Fri till it was done.  I have not done that since I got married three years ago!  So much fear of not being with him. 

 

Friday was so powerful for me and many others we were set from things that come from many losses. Thursday AM (5am) I talked to a friend of mine on the East Coast that has a deliverance ministry, Tito Morales, and he said “Women of God you have too many doors open, God wants to close these doors before you can do His work.”  While you and the other people were praying over me I heard them say closing the doors of all this stuff that was right on the mark.  They were closing and I felt, God closed the doors and nothing can open them again.  They are closed and God is opening new doors. I felt things fall off me. 

 

I had been tormented at times after my first husband’s death about the things I did wrong and how I could never make it up to my husband.  I was tormented at times about my son's suicide and how I should have went to see him the week before.  I did not know he was going through so much.  I would pray the Blood over me and speak that it is all under the blood but I sometimes get hit with such anguish that it is hard.  I feel that the doors closed.  I am not afraid of my husband leaving or finding me not good enough.  Fear of not being enough is some times very hard for me.  I love the Lord and felt whole in Him until I got married and all the things that I have fear in were in Keith.  He is getting set free form his stuff and when I came up that last time to ask for prayer for Keith’s back I also asked God if He would set Keith free like He set me free.  When you said “He already heard you it is done” I felt it in my spirit.  I knew it was done and the Glory sparked in me I wanted to fly!  To sore like an eagle!  It is so wonderful I still am basking in the Glory when I start to talk about what God did. 

 

I appreciate your love and support Deborah, and I will pray for your ministry and your family as I do for Benny Hinn.  God is using your ministry to set women, men and the youth free so God can bring in the harvest.  We are in a wonderful time of God.  I know He is coming soon.

 

Thank you for having this conference. God bless you with your family. 

 

Shalom

I attended the Dove’s International Conf. in Portland.  WOW!  As a first timer, wow, I had no idea!  Had I known I would have encouraged all of our local prayer teams to attend.  I know our ladies would have brought torches back home!

 

I’ve had some awesome things happen since the conference.  One while setting here going through Sandy Warner's web site and her teaching on the twelve tribes.  I heard a bird fly across the open doorway, and the thought “a Dove” flashed in my mind.  I went to the conference expecting big (hoping) yet I had been praying for simplicity and Bless God, He did big things in small ways – simplicity!  Our God is faithful..  All I can say is WOW!  Bless you all, flow on in the River.  What an awesome place to be, The River of God!  Nothing is impossible!

 

Blessings & Thank You,

I loved Friday night, being in the glory spot in the front and center, I couldn’t stop weeping.  There must have been a host of angels!  Every meeting I was touched!  Sharon (my friend) said waves and waves of Glory poured over her, she didn’t want to go home! The music was wonderful.  I just got into the river and laid there and soaked.

 

It was the best conference I have ever been to!  Deborah blew on me and I was hit by the power of God!  The variety  of the wild, radical spirit in Deborah and the gentle teacher in Pat was wonderful. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

God bless,

THIS WAS MORE THAN A CONFERENCE.  IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE WITH THE POWER AND LOVE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!  WE SHOULD HAVE CALLED IT "THE WIND OF THE SPIRIT GATHERING".

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT WERE CHARGED WITH EXCITEMENT AS THE WORSHIP BEGAN. WOMEN DANCED AND SANG AND WARRED FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF.  SATURDAY NIGHT WAS JUST AS SUPER-CHARGED AS THE WARRING WORSHIP INTENSIFIED AND MINISTRY BEGAN WITHIN WORSHIP. DEMONS CRIED OUT AS THEY WERE CONFRONTED WITH THE POWER THAT WAS PRESENT. THERE WAS HEALING IN BODY AND SPIRIT AND JOY FILLED THE PLACE.

WE ENJOYED THE POWERFUL MINISTRY OF THE DANCERS AND THE EXCELLENT, SEASONED TEACHING AND REVELATION OF PAT COCKING AS SHE TAUGHT ON THE GLORY REALM, THE VISIT TO THE THRONE OF GOD WHERE SHE STOOD IN THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW AROUND THE THRONE!  SHE CALLED EVERYONE UP AND BEGAN TO TEACH THEM HOW TO REACH INTO THE REALM OF THE GLORY AND SEE VISIONS.

IT IS HARD TO DESCRIBE THESE MEETINGS BECAUSE THERE WAS SO MUCH HAPPENING AS THE ANOINTING INCREASED AND LIVES WERE TOUCHED AND CHANGED.  DEBORAH WAS ABOUT TO PREACH WHEN SHE BEGAN TO HEAR THE HEARTBEAT OF GOD AND HE CAME IN WITH A SUDDENLY!  "THE WIND BLOWS WHERE IT WISHES, YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF IT BUT CANNOT TELL FROM WHERE IT COMES AND YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT GOES".....JOHN 3:8a

This was not a conference for me, but a visitation to heaven hearing from God myself.  Thank you!

I have felt a stronger presence of the Lord (His anointing) on me after I left for home.  It was so strong on the plane – both the passengers and I were in His Glory as I talked and exhorted this very nice young man to turn to the Lord.  I know He has done much in me while I was there that will manifest.  I took home much encouragement and wisdom and nuggets of truth from your teachings.  I love you all, what an example for me!

Sylvia Valdez emails:

WHEN JOHN SPOKE FOR THE PASTORS AND THEN TOM SPOKE FOR THE FATHERS I WAS STANDING UP FRONT WITH LORA.  AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS IN TRAVAIL FOR SOMEONE ELSE, BUT THEN THE LORD SPOKE TO ME.  "YOU NEED TO FORGIVE YOUR FATHER FOR ALL THE ABUSIVE THINGS HE SPOKE TO YOU."  I FORGAVE HIM RIGHT THEN AND THEN I HEARD, "YOU ALSO NEED TO FORGIVE YOUR HUSBAND FOR THE SAME THINGS SPOKEN TO YOU."  I FORGAVE HIM ALSO.  I WAS CRYING.  I KNOW THAT IT WAS A HEALING BUT I HAD NOT EXPECTED IT.  I HAD COME TO THE CONFERENCE EXPECTING A LOT FOR OTHERS BUT THOUGHT I WAS OK.  THAT ALL I HAD COME THROUGH DURING THE LAST 2 ½ YEARS, SINCE I FIRST MET THE FIREGATE TEAM, WAS FINISHED, UNTIL THAT MORNING.  I FEEL AS IF I HAD BEEN PEELED LIKE AN ONION, ONE LAYER AT A TIME.  THE LORD HAS REVEALED THINGS TO ME THAT I HAVE HAD TO ADDRESS.
I PRAISE GOD FOR HIS HEALING OF MY EMOTIONS, MY BROKEN HEART AND FOR HIS WONDERFUL LOVE.  I BELIEVE THAT I AM TOTALLY FREE NOW AND AM SO MUCH STRONGER THAN I HAVE BEEN FOR MOST OF MY LIFE THANK YOU, LORD.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE DOVES INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY TEAM!
