Over the last couple of years, I would occasionally watch the Mountain Movers YouTube videos that are recorded on Wednesday nights. I always felt I learned something new and enjoyed being in an all-ladies environment. Although I do not participate in many social media platforms, I found myself enjoying the ministry’s private Facebook page, where I was encouraged by all of the uplifting posts and prayers.

To be completely transparent, I found this community at the perfect time as I had suffered from extreme depression and anxiety for most of my life. I believe the torment began in the womb because I was born and left in an orphanage as a baby. This unresolved hole in my heart led to severe abandonment and rejection issues that have haunted me my entire life.

As a result, most of my life consisted of sadness, heartache, dread, depression, and many costly mistakes due to my attempts at numbing the pain and hopelessness. I was prescribed multiple pharmaceutical medications and met with many counselors through the years. I was also a functional alcoholic. Over the years, I had little desire to live, barely existing... all while juggling a career, being married, and raising children. On the outside, few would know my internal struggle, even those within the churches I attended. I came to the devastating conclusion that I was a born-again believer never experiencing the abundant life.

I knew in my Spirit that the Lord was the answer, but I could never grasp His promises. I tried everything I knew to in the hopes of getting the answers I desperately longed for. I sought help from deliverance ministries and attended conferences, prophetic meetings, praise and worship gatherings, and Bible studies, which ultimately only provided momentary, temporal relief.

At the end of 2023, I again watched a Mountain Movers teaching video and heard about the mentorship program. I went on their website and contacted the ministry. This was my last-ditch attempt at seeking help from a Christian group, realizing that I was severely depressed to the point that I didn’t want to live anymore. I believe with all my heart that it was only God’s grace that gave me enough strength to be willing to try one more thing for my family and me.

The first time I met with Melissa, I felt like I had been thrown a lifeline. A small seed of hope had entered my heart. Since that miraculous day, we have been meeting twice a week for several months. I can honestly say that I don’t know where I would be without this program.

Every meeting reveals deeper truth and revelation to my soul. Melissa is incredibly self-sacrificing and loving. She teaches the Word of God without compromise and is extremely gifted. She hears from the Lord clearly and has received words of knowledge specifically for me. Mentorship is way more multi-faceted than I ever imagined because Melissa is truly invested in my life.

While acknowledging that the Lord is my foundation toward my freedom and wholeness, I’m also realizing that deeper spiritual roots need to be addressed and healed. In the process, I am receiving practical, common-sense life coaching through sound advice, gentle warnings, and life-giving encouragement.

Melissa proactively reaches out to me each week and always makes herself available to answer my texts and questions. She encourages me, supports me, believes in me, and helps me SEE and HEAR what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. In addition, I have been so incredibly blessed by the prayers that she has prayed over me because of her anointing. I no longer suffer with the daily torment, anxiety, and dread I once used to, which in times past, required medication. For the first time in a very long time, I am experiencing peace in my soul.

I want you to know that Melissa pours her entire heart into the process. She will guide your choices and decisions in respect to sound biblical truth. Her goal is to help you see blind spots and dysfunctional personality patterns that are sabotaging the abundant life that Christ paid for.

While continuing my journey wholeheartedly, I am continually being filled with more hope and expectation for what the Lord has in store for the future. I truly believe that very soon, I will be walking in full freedom. My goal is to help others be released from their own prisons of torment.

I am writing this testimony to inspire you to take a big leap of faith just like I did. You cannot put a price tag on the love, commitment, support, fellowship, and freedom you will receive to catapult you into God’s plan for your life.
