Before you watch

Elizabeth's testimony moves through church hurt, cancer, and a two-year battle with tormenting fear — but it is ultimately a story about a woman who kept finding God showing up in the most unexpected places. The encounter in the elevator alone is worth watching.

What this story teaches

People can know about God their whole lives and still carry a wound that the enemy exploits at every crisis. The move from inherited religion to personal relationship is often triggered not by dramatic sin but by a moment of honest desperation — and God meets that honesty every time.

How God moved

Go Deeper

That emotion is valid, you know, because if you close yourself off from people and if you close yourself off from God, you will be alone. And you have to be strong enough and you have to have enough faith to believe again that there's good people in the world and to believe that God is for you and not against you. When we feel alone like that, we build walls. You have to fight that with everything. Become your own advocate. Pray and ask God to help you. Pray and ask God to lead you to the right people who are trustworthy. Start with small baby steps and reach out to someone. I'm proof of it — I know what it is to feel that overwhelming. And I also know what it is to overcome. Hope always. Don't let anybody destroy your hope. Hope is having only positive expectations. No matter what you're going through, no matter what you're facing, pause a minute and go — I'm having only positive expectations. I expect God to bring me through this.

What you can take from this

This week, identify the one lie the enemy keeps replaying in your mind at your lowest moments — the thought that latches on like a leech. Find one scripture that directly contradicts it and speak it out loud every time the lie returns.

Isolation pattern

That's always been my battle — feeling alone, always feeling like there was no one for me, that everyone was against me. I could be in a room of a hundred people having the time of my life, but in my mind I would think if I died, no one would miss me.

Spirit of fear

That tormenting spirit — 'with a vengeance, it's going to come back, you're going to die, you're not going to see your daughter grow up.' He finds a hole in your spirit and then he just keeps on. He came to steal, kill, and destroy. I was tormented every day. I couldn't relax, I couldn't have joy.

1

I went into a bathroom stall and I just told the Lord, 'If this is all that's here, if this is all my life is going to be, I don't know that I can keep living again. I just don't want to miss out on something.'

2

I knew not to blame God for what people had done. That God — people are just people. They're going to hurt your feelings. And I simply met the Savior that day.

3

I picked it up and I read it. Nahum 1:9 — 'This affliction shall not return unto you the second time.' Every time that thought runs through my mind, well, it'll come back — I'm like, no, it will not. This affliction shall not return unto me the second time.

Psalms

Speaker references a Psalm about believing the sun will come up as a metaphor for her lifelong certainty of God's presence.

Nahum 1:9

The scripture 'this affliction shall not return unto you the second time' broke a two-year spirit of torment about cancer returning.

Psalms 51:12

'Restore unto me the joy of my salvation' — speaker quoted this as the cry of her heart during her darkest post-cancer season.

Ruth 1:16–17

Speaker identified with Ruth's declaration 'wherever you go I will go' as her posture of total surrender to follow God after her re-conversion.

Exodus 3:14

'I am that I am' — speaker used this as the core of her answer to who Jesus is to her.

Jeremiah 29:11

Speaker referenced 'an expected end' as God's promise to bring her into fullness of joy.

John 10:10

Speaker referenced 'he came to steal, kill, and destroy' when describing the enemy's tactic of tormenting her with fear of cancer returning.

Proverbs 18:24

Speaker quoted 'a friend that sticks closer than a brother' in her closing prayer for those who feel friendless.

Luke 15:11–32

Speaker explicitly invoked the Prodigal Son — the father waiting — as the framework for her re-conversion moment in the bathroom stall.

2 Samuel 6:16

In a dream, God warned Elizabeth not to be like Michal — bitter at the window while the ark came — as a warning against isolation and bitterness.

Elizabeth explicitly named the Prodigal Son as the framework for her re-conversion — the father waiting while she turned around and came home.

God warned Elizabeth in a dream not to become like Michal — bitter and isolated while the presence of God passed by.

Elizabeth described her post-conversion surrender using Ruth's exact language — wherever you go I will go — as her posture toward God.

Like Elijah touched by an angel in his lowest moment, Elizabeth received a divine messenger in an elevator at her most isolated point.

The accusation

God allowed this to happen to me

What they said

“I could not believe that God would allow people to be so evil and so mean.”

How God answered

God showed her through a supernatural encounter in the elevator and a precisely timed scripture that he never left her, was always present in her suffering, and that the affliction would not return a second time — turning her accusation into trust.

Resolution

Fully resolved in testimony

Elizabeth's Christian Walk

Survived late-stage breast cancer against a terminal prognosis and is now in her 15th year of health. Overcame a two-year spirit of torment and fear through a specific scripture. No longer sweats the small things. Walks in a victorious life. Her book has reached and encouraged other cancer patients who have passed it on.

I left religion in that moment. And I found relationship. I found God in a way that I'd never known him as a child.

The tormenting spirit that said the cancer would return 'with a vengeance' — a two-year daily torment of fear — broke the moment she read Nahum 1:9 in that hotel room.

Set free from that spirit of alone — that tormenting thought that I was going to die alone. Delivered from the two-year torment of 'it's going to come back with a vengeance.' The scripture 'this affliction shall not return unto you the second time' broke that spirit off me.

Prayer

The power of Prayer — Angelic or divine messenger in an elevator stood in the gap for Elizabeth.

A small elderly woman in a hospital elevator moved toward Elizabeth, hugged her, and whispered 'You are not alone and this is going to be okay.' Elizabeth searched every floor and the parking lot and could not find her afterward. Later, an unknown woman at a church service handed her a dirty napkin with Nahum 1:9 written on it — a second bridge whose one act broke a two-year spirit of torment.

Is today your day?

Yes — I'm Ready

Absolutely, He will.

You don't have to figure everything out right now.

You don't need to have all the answers.

If something stirred in your heart while you were watching or reading — that's not nothing.

That is the Holy Spirit gently knocking on the door of your heart.

Stay right here. There's no rush. The Spirit doesn't pressure or hurry.

Watch another video. Read a little more. Take your time.

When you're ready — even if “ready” just means a little curious — Jesus is ready to meet you.

You don't have to clean up your life first.

You don't have to pass any test.

You only need to say a simple “yes” to Him.

He will take care of the rest.

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

Luke 11:9

RJ

I was raised in church, called to ministry at 12, but by my late teens I was addicted to pornography and sexual sin, drinking, partying, experimenting with steroids, and running from God into the fire service — numb to the Holy Spirit I once knew intimately.

Ricky — testimony

Ricky

I was brought up in a Christian family and got saved in 2020, but I was a cessationist — I thought when the Bible was completed, you didn't need the Holy Ghost anymore. I used to say people who spoke in tongues were demonic.

Name withheld — testimony

Name withheld

I was a Christian who had incredible encounters with God, worked in ministry, but hid behind work and battled pornography in secret — a whitewashed tomb, clean on the outside, filthy on the inside, with a heart that kept looking back at Egypt.

Yaya — testimony

Yaya

I was a believer who had always seen in the spirit realm since childhood, but I compromised my faith, got into a relationship with a narcissist, and ended up on 14 medications, collapsing on my floor, with no presence of God when I nearly died.

Karen — testimony

Karen

I was a little girl carrying sexual abuse, shame, and guilt, hiding behind cheerleading titles so no one would get close enough to see the ugliness. I went to the altar every Sunday hoping one of those times would be good enough to make me clean.

Danny — testimony

Danny

I was the most depressed person I knew personally. I grew up in church, even became a leader in Christian fellowship, but at the gut level I could not imagine God really loved me. I could not remember one happy day in my entire childhood.

Joshua — testimony

Joshua

I was a born-again Christian two and a half years into walking with Jesus, doing street evangelism, casting out demons, seeing miracles — but secretly questioning whether Jesus was really the only way, and curious whether psychedelics could give me deeper spiritual truth.

Katherine — testimony

Katherine

I was a pastor's daughter who went to church every Sunday, prayed, anointed my house — doing all the ritualistic religious acts — but inside I was dying with insecurities, seeking validation from boys and my career, and rooting my identity in everything except Christ.

“They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”
