In July 2017 I had a sense that God had more for me and I was really struggling to understand what that was and where it came from. I woke up very early one morning and just had such an excitement about God doing something brand new in me. I called a family member and I chatted to him about the Lord calling me to start a healing school which I had no clue about doing. He encouraged me to join the supernatural lifestyle school in Cape Town, founded by Steven and Jacqui Haines.
He gave them a call about when the next school starts, which happened to be that day. They were happy to receive me, and I got ready to fly out that same day. I was extremely excited without knowing what to expect. I chatted to my husband who couldn’t understand that I would do something so spur of the moment. But he agreed that I fly to Cape Town if I was sure that this was from the Lord. The nine days at SLS was amazing, I spent so many days crying because of the revelation I was receiving and often experienced being delivered from so much junk, I had carried for far too long. Every day I experienced more freedom and excitement about my life. Every session was new to me, I knew that this was the more God had for me. It was a time of refreshing and supernatural. I loved the evangelism outreaches and came home evangelizing on the streets which was loads of fun. I was introduced to the prophetic which was a blessing something I knew I wanted more of. Learning my identity in Christ was also something I’d not heard before and that brought so much freedom as well. I learned to enjoy this abundant life even more because I know my identity in Christ. I made notes of books and teaching material the lecturers shared which I bought when I arrived back home to invest in the more, I was experiencing. I arrived back home with a new passion and desire to serve God even more. There was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and a new found freedom. I couldn’t talk about my experience for about two weeks after my arrival home, just praying through everything that I received at SLS. I made some drastic changes in my life, found a new vibrant church as prompted by the Holy Spirit and a whole lot changed for my husband and I. SLS was an amazing experience for me and I would recommend SLS to anyone who wants to experience more of the Lord. I started healing school as soon as I arrived back home and had enough tools to do it. I will never forget the amazing people I met at SLS and the transformation I received. It was amazingly powerful and anointed. Many of the things I learned there I still apply and I’m extremely grateful to the Lord for blessing me with such a great opportunity. Steven and Jacqui thanks for your obedience to the Lord, it has blessed me tremendously. I’m eternally grateful to you for stepping out and doing what you were called to do, changing lives for His glory.
