"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb" Rev. 12:11

January 2019 - His Glory Bible School
Close to Yangon, Myanmar
*translated from Burmese into English


This week, I realized that my heart was created to come alive in the love of God.  I prayed for the Lord to help me destroy the bricks of hatred in my heart towards others.  I want to grow in my love for the Lord and for people.  The Lord has told me to build up and encourage people and to show them love.
- Bible School Student

After your Bible teaching, with the Lord's help, I specifically forgave my Dad, Mom and others who hurt me.  I now feel free and happy because I forgave them. 

- Bible School Student

After your teaching sessions, the Lord helped me to receive His great love and share His love with others.  I experienced peace from the Lord.  I have forgiven my father for the ways he hurt me.

I learned more about the Spiritual Disciplines this week.  I plan to add some of these spiritual disciplines to my devotional times with Jesus.  My focus needs to be on the Lord.  I learned how to declare His Word and promises over my life.  In the past I have been disappointed with unanswered prayers.  But now I know I need to persevere in prayer and not give up.  I feel His freedom and realized He loves me 100% and no less than that.
 - Bible School Student

During this week, the Lord revealed some past sin in my life which I could then confess and receive forgives for.  I feel freedom from guilt now.  I also realized that I am really loved by God and that is why I want to serve Him.  I came out of the lie that I must serve the Lord in order to earn His love.
- Bible School Student

The Lord showed me that I was believing specific lies of the devil.  When I saw these lies, I confessed having believed them and then He gave me forgiveness and freedom.    Also, I was able to let go of the self-blaming when I received His forgiveness.  I'm happy because I clearly experienced God's great love for me!  He has broken down the sin-walls in my heart that were holding back His blessings and I see clearly what I need to do next.
- Bible School Student

The Lord showed me that if I want to love others, I must first receive His love, through abiding with Him.  When I abide with Him, His desires become my desires.  I want to be faithful and love the Lord and serve Him.
- Bible School Student

This week the Lord revealed to me that I had bitterness in my heart because I had not forgiven some people.  I was taught how to confess specific bitterness in my heart and turn away from my sin so that these sin-walls in my heart can be broken.  Also He gave me a fresh understanding of prayer.  I love Jesus more and feel more of His love for me!
- Bible School Student

I learned many things from your teaching.  For God's love to flow out from me to others, I need to remove pride inside me and fill myself up with the love of Jesus. The way I can do this is by deliberately abiding in His Presence when I have my time alone with Him.  I also learned that it is important to pray according to His will and to pray continuously until my prayers are answered.  Finally, I also learned not to remain in lies, such as "I can't do it" but to surrender to Him and then carry out His work powerfully.
- Bible School Student

This week I learned to see good in people rather than to judge them.  I learned it is very important to have a pure heart, like Joseph, and not to keep sin-barriers in my heart.  Otherwise the sin-barriers will bring bondage.  In prayer, I took time to give thanks to God, for what He has done and to agree with Him.  I desire to spend more time with Him in prayer and fellowship!
- Bible School Student

The unseen walls of sin in my hearts were exposed and then destroyed by the power of Jesus Christ!   I learned to hold onto God's Word, reject Satan's temptations and intercede for others.  I felt God's love deeply.  God wants (desires) me!
 - Bible School Student

I learned how to identify and reject the lies of the devil.  I learned about the spiritual disciplines of praise and worship,
waiting on the Lord, confession of sin, praying the Word, watching, intercessory prayer, petition, thanksgiving, song, meditation upon the Lord and His promises, and listening to the Lord.  Then we had time to practise each of these disciplines!  Also, God set me free from unforgiveness towards a friend who had wounded my heart. He restores my life.  I now know that I am honoured and dignified through Jesus Christ.  He set me free from shame.  I felt His great love; 100% love and acceptance.

 - Bible School Student

My highest priority is to abide with Jesus (John 15) not to just be busy with doing the works for Jesus.  He is with me, watching over me and providing for all of us.
 - Bible School Student

After I confessed sin, then I received forgiveness and was cleansed from guilt and freed from condemnation and self-blaming.  I want to remember to lay down in front of God and to experience His love for me.  Also, I want to persevere in prayer until I get the answer.
 - Bible School Student

Now I am closer to the Lord.  He removed the condemnation (Rom. 8:1) from my heart.  I realize that I have His authority and power as a Christian to stand against lies and condemnation. 
 - Bible School Student

This week God taught me to abide with Him, how to pray, how to break down my walls of anger and revenge so that I can walk with Him.  I am free from the sins of my past, which I confessed.  I feel His grace, love and mercy.  I receive Jesus' work by the Holy Spirit when I pray daily.
 - Bible School Student

Thanksgiving is not dependent on circumstances.  My focus must be upon God.  He showed me that I had negative thoughts towards my father.  I confessed and renounced this bad attitude and He set me free so I can love my dad now.  I am free from this past oppression and now I feel His joy and freedom!

June 2015 - England - various cities

It was spectacular, at times, to watch the Holy Spirit sweep across our meetings in England.  In some of our meetings, people who had been struggling with confusion and condemnation received forgiveness, deliverance and freedom through the preaching of the Word.

A Middle Eastern man came to one of our conferences and he was searching for the true God.  He confessed his sins and then received forgiveness from Jesus!  As we ministered the love of The Father to him, through the Word and by The Spirit, he received divine comfort.  "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort..." 2 Cor. 1:3.

After one of our meetings, a woman came up to us and shared what happened after Scott had prayed for her last year.  She had suffered with much pain in her legs and hips due to a neurological disorder and always had to use a walker.  But, that next morning she was totally healed from pain and gave her walker away and walked into town unaided.  Jesus healed her from that neurological disorder!

At one church, a woman had had surgery to correct a disorder in her foot. But she still struggled with quite a lot of pain in her foot.  Jesus miraculously healed her from all the pain in her foot.  She tested her foot by jumping a few times and confirmed excitedly that she was healed.

A lovely Christian woman came to one of our meetings and she had been involved in the sex industry many years ago.  The Lord Jesus gave her the grace to specifically forgive those who had raped and abused her.  Jesus then delivered her from demons of shame and bitterness which had been oppressing her and then filled her with great joy and thanksgiving.  "And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons." Mark 1:39

We have to forgive others because otherwise unforgiveness is like a great wall between us and God.  Bitterness can also block God's blessings for our lives.  When we forgive others, the blessings of God will flow like a river in our lives.

- Bible School Student

Even though we receive salvation through grace, I had believed that we have to do extra things ourselves (in our own power) in order to receive that grace.  I tried to add to the grace of Jesus.  But now I see that we receive salvation by grace alone!

- Bible School Student

I understand that Jesus Christ has done everything for me.  The power of God is bigger than my problems and everything else.  The Lord has given me authority and power.  He has called us to be built up in faith and to destroy the works of Satan. 

- Bible School Student

I attended a Bible School and I was planning to turn my back on God and go and become a Buddhist monk.  I reasoned that because I was falling short as a Christian, I had better leave the faith altogether.  But then, during your seminar,  the Lord delivered me from those lies and temptations and brought me back to Him!  Jesus deepened my faith in Him and I want to serve Him all my life.

2013 Guatemala City, Guatemala

When we conducted meetings at a church in Guatemala City, Scott preached on the Love of the Father.  The poor came forward to receive from Heavenly Father after the sermon - the concrete floor was wet with their tears.  They were encountering the grace, mercy and love of Heavenly Father.  We were in awe of the LORD as He ministered to these precious ones who were thirsty for Him.  "O God, You are my God.  I shall seek You earnestly, my soul thirsts for Thee, my body yearns for Thee, in a dry and weary land where there is no water." Ps. 63:1

We preached and ministered at a house church and via the interpreter there was a request for prayer for a young girl.  She had a serious hernia, and her mother was weeping because she was too poor to be afford the expensive surgery.  I (Hilary) began to pray and weep over her as I strongly sensed the Lord's compassion for her and then I felt surges of the power of the Holy Spirit come.  After a couple minutes, suddenly the little girl brightened and, via the translator, she said she was healed.  She and her mother went into the bathroom to check the protrusion from her bowels and then ecstatically confirmed that Jesus had healed her completely - the protrusion was gone!  "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."  Heb. 13:8



Asia (unspecified countries)

I see that I must pray in order to deepen my relationship with Jesus.  When I opened my heart and invited Him to fill me, I experienced His love, joy and freedom.  Now I understand more about the spiritual realm - that the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan are real.  My Heavenly Father has given me His unconditional love and I have authority and power.

Coming to your school was like having a great feast of God's word.  I enjoyed every minute of the teaching of God's truth.  Listening to His truth is like taking a bath, being washed over and over, being cleansed and empowered.  Thank you for your teaching and prayer ministry to us.  The good news is just so good!

When I came to your Leadership School, I was in bondage to Satan's lies and pressure.  I had worked hard in order to try to earn God's pleasure and to try to earn His love.  But then through the power of God's Word, I experienced the unconditional love of Father God.  The Lord released me from the lies and pressure!  I experienced peace and comfort when you prayed for me!

Whenever I thought a lot about what I've experienced and my family background I would have a heavy sense of shame, knowing that these things are not good and believing that people would not like me.  The (Bible teaching) sessions were about our true identity in Christ, believing in the truth and renouncing the lies.  When you led us in prayer, the Lord told me He never detested me when I was going through the trials in life.  He took away my shame.  He knows what I've been through and cries for me, felt sad and ached for me.  Understanding this (His compassion and love) helps me to relax and enables me to embrace my true identity in the Lord again.

During this past week (at the Leadership Training School), God enabled me to see a big issue in my life - fear.  Whether it's towards people or situations, my heart was always gripped by fear.  Such fear sometimes even caused me to have difficulties in breathing and left me feeling fatigued, sapped of any inner strength.  During this week (of Bible teaching) the Lord opened my eyes to show me why I have been so fearful.  It is because when I was in my mother's womb, my mom had to hide me from the authorities because I was the 2nd child.  On the day I was born, she had to return home alone because my dad had to work and my mother was extremely fearful.  This fear was passed onto me and deeply influenced my whole life.  But now I now the truth - that God was there when I was born, watching over me (Ps. 139).  He has always been there for me. So I thank my Lord.  He took away the deep and intense fear and He changed me and hides me under the shadow of His wing (Ps. 91).
