What is your name?
My name is David Hernandez.

‍

Where are you from, and how did you hear about this crusade?
I’ve been living in Jalisco for 10 years. I follow Brother Hyeok on YouTube and social media.

‍

You mentioned that you already knew about Christ but drifted away for several years. What happened during that time?
I went through a marital breakup, and I failed God. I felt broken, I distanced myself, and I offended Him. From then on, I didn’t return to God’s path because I felt dirty and guilty for what I had done.

‍

After listening to the pastor, what happened in your life?
From the moment I came to this place and the worship began, God started to break my heart. I began to cry a lot. When the man of God invited us to pray reminding us that God hears us and that we must have faith, I said to God, “I don’t want this life anymore. I know I’m not worthy of You, but You can forgive me and restore me.”

‍

What happened when the man of God was ministering?
When the Man of God prayed for me and ministered to me, I felt a strong presence—a cold wind embraced me. I broke into tears and found myself on the floor. I didn’t know what happened after he touched me, but I felt myself fall, and God began to minister to me removing sadness, removing the guilt in my heart. By God’s mercy, I felt free. I felt something leaving me, something that had tormented me, and now I am free for the glory of God.

‍

What will happen in your life from now on?
From now on, I will renew my life with the Lord. I will ask the Holy Spirit to guide me to a congregation where I can grow spiritually, because I need God.

‍

It is a joy that the Lord has done this. Can we say that He heard your cry and that the prayer you made in faith had an effect on your heart and life?
Yes, amen. Many times the enemy told me I was worthless and pushed me to take my own life and other such things. But for the glory of God, today I am free because I believed God, because I chose to come to this event knowing the man of God would be here and that God could work in my life. I believed, and I received, for the glory of God.

‍

I was able to see and feel the response of the Holy Spirit in my heart. I spoke to Him and said, “Holy Spirit, I don’t want this life anymore. I want a new life with You, walking in Your ways.” And I believe the Holy Spirit worked in my heart. He broke the chains, lifted the burdens, destroyed the ties that bound my soul, my body, and my life—and now I feel free. I feel it inside of me. If God did it for me, He can do it for many others who may also be far from His ways.

‍

How do you feel at this moment?
Now I value the Holy Spirit, because the Bible says we must not grieve Him. To live in God’s grace is a great blessing, but to fall from His grace is the worst thing. What the world offers humanity is the worst. For me, the most valuable thing is to be in God, because in the world in the pleasures and the life the enemy offers there is nothing good. The same one who tempts us to sin and offend God is the same one who wants to destroy us and see us ruined. That’s why today I value God’s grace and mercy that are in my life. I want to keep them and increase the fire that God placed in my heart through His servant, Brother Hyeok. I’ve watched his channel and videos for a long time, and I always said, “One day I’ll be at an event where the servant of God is, because I know God will do something in my life and set me free.” May God always bless the Man of God.

‍

Do you have any advice for someone who may be in a similar situation?
Believe in God, because He is a God of restoration and of second chances. His arms are always open, waiting for us to come to Him and repent. He doesn’t want anyone to be lost but that all would come to repentance—He is love. Today I can understand that again. During the time I was away from God, the devil had me blind, tortured me inside with depression, sadness, and guilt. But today God restored me and gave me freedom to forgive and to love.

Thank you very much for sharing your testimony.
