<\/p> This morning, the church gathered around a single heartfelt cry: “Let us return to the reference point of the Spirit.”\r\nThe pastor opened the time of praise by reminding us that “the person we are is not our flesh, but the Spirit who dwells in the body”. He explained that, every day, we are faced with two masters: the flesh, which acts according to logic, individual will and fleeting desires, and the Spirit, which responds to the voice of God, to eternal truth.<\/p> After exhorting everyone to choose the Spirit’s teacher, the time for sharing was opened: members offered their testimonies – of moments when, by depositing themselves under the Spirit’s guidance, miracles, healings, financial provisions and decisive decisions were manifested. Each story illustrates the principle announced: when we align ourselves with the Spirit, the limitations of the flesh collapse and the power of God is revealed concretely in daily life.\r\n<\/p>\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\n <\/p>\r\n\n\r\n The key to your victory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":12525,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_surecart_dashboard_logo_width":"180px","_surecart_dashboard_show_logo":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_orders":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_invoices":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_subscriptions":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_downloads":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_billing":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_account":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-messages","category-testimonies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
Introduction<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\n
<\/p>
<\/p>
Testimonies<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
<\/strong>Eva <\/strong>Faced with a financial emergency, she asked God for immediate provision.The next day, a long-time friend transferred exactly the amount she needed, proving that prayer is heard and that financial grace can come “from heaven”.<\/strongstrong><\/p>\n
<\/strong>Samuella <\/strong>After submitting her application to the University of Ottawa, she was not only accepted in biomedicine, but also received a $2,000 scholarship thanks to her excellent grades.She attributes this success to the divine guidance and wisdom of her spiritual father, pastor Landry Cyrille Bankole. <\/p>\n
<\/strong> Juste <\/strong>explains that he was often sick when he was younger, to the point of missing half of the school year. However, in recent years, his health has significantly improved: he rarely gets sick anymore and no longer suffers the effects of illness. He attributes this change to the grace of God and says he can\u2019t even remember the last time he was sick. <\/p>\n
Natalie <\/strong> explained that in February, she accepted the prayer group’s challenge: to drink only sugar-free water or tea for the whole month. She described moments of temptation, especially at holiday meals when sugary drinks were omnipresent. Yet, by following this principle, she noticed three major changes: (1) she lost three pounds, (2) her joint pain diminished, and (3) she felt a new energy every morning. She attributes these benefits to the discipline God imposed on her and the grace that sustained her throughout this challenge. <\/p>\n
Juliana <\/strong>recounts how she felt discouraged when her application for a work permit and permanent residence was turned down. She confided her situation to her spiritual father, who prayed intensely and advised her to remain patient. Two weeks later, her employer called to explain that he could renew her contract and issue a new closed work permit, even though she was still in “non-resident” status. Juliana clearly sees divine intervention: without her father’s prayers and perseverance in faith, she would never have been able to obtain this administrative solution. <\/p>\n
<\/strong>Marie-Joachim <\/strong> was in the process of buying a house. Upon finalizing the loan, his credit score suddenly dropped from 650 to 500 due to an incident that affected his payment history. Knowing the banking rule that considers a score below 600 as “at risk”, she initially thought the financing was lost. She then prayed to her spiritual father, who assured her that God would open the door. A few days later, the bank approved the loan despite the low score, citing “exceptional” circumstances. Marie-Joachim sees this as proof that “God’s grace can unlock what the logic of the flesh deems impossible”.<\/p>\n
Jean-Marie <\/strong> was eager to work Monday to Friday so that he could attend Sunday services, as his job required him to work at weekends. After praying and asking for clear direction, his superior changed his schedule, offering him a timetable that corresponded exactly to his spiritual needs. This change, he says, was the result of “intervention from the Most High”: the door opened without the company having to make any major compromises, proving that God prepares solutions when the sons of the flesh align with the desires of the Spirit. <\/p>\n
<\/strong>Gratia<\/strong> explains that they suffered from severe pain in their legs and feet for several weeks, to the point where they could not stand for long. After meeting a pastor who prayed for them, the pain disappeared immediately. They say they felt instant relief and were able to stand again, attributing their healing to God\u2019s intervention through the pastor. <\/p>\n
<\/strong>Nathan <\/strong> recounts that on the fifth day of a seven-day fast, his left shoulder began to vibrate and stiffen until he could no longer move his arm. The sensation was so strong that he thought the paralysis was permanent. The moment the community raised their hands and prayed, the vibrations stopped, the arm relaxed and was able to move again. Nathan attributes this event to the “silence imposed by the Spirit”, claiming that God “protected him from a more serious injury” and that fasting was the catalyst for this miraculous healing. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/strong>Thomas <\/strong> has been chosen to receive the C\u00c9GEP de l’Outaouais perseverance bursary, financial assistance for students who demonstrate exceptional determination. Thomas felt that God was opening a door. When the decision was announced, he realized that divine providence, combined with persistent prayer, had made this crucial support possible.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/strong>Thomas <\/strong>was looking for a stable job compatible with his university studies. After several unsuccessful attempts, an employer offered him a flexible position that respected her class schedule and financial needs. Testimony shows that God opens doors to employment when we persevere in prayer and seek divine guidance<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/strong>Pastor Landry Cyrille Bankole <\/strong>explains that he spends a lot of time standing during conferences, which leaves him physically exhausted and often forces him to spend money afterward to relieve the strain on his body. He says he was deeply touched by an unexpected gift from some members \u2014 a full massage chair \u2014 especially knowing that some of them are not financially well off.\r\nHe emphasizes that this gesture shows genuine care for his well-being, beyond typical gifts like clothes or shoes. Moved by their thoughtfulness, he publicly honours them, mentions their names, and prays that God will bless them in return.\r\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\r\n
Conclusion<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\n
The testimonials confirm this principle: every difficult situation (finances, health, employment, studies) was resolved when those involved placed their faith in the Spirit, prayed with perseverance and accepted divine guidance. Thus, the message shows that living under the authority of the Spirit brings provision, healing and freedom, while remaining in the logic of the flesh leads only to stagnation and dissatisfaction.<\/p>
