Festival of Life'09 BENGALURU - Testimonies
|
Several years ago, I went through a very depressing phase in my life and I was driven to a point when I even attempted suicide. God, in His divine plan, delivered me from such suicidal thoughts and led me to watch God TV. I turned on the television and there was Joyce sharing the Word with great power. I was amazed at the boldness with which Joyce spoke. Each word of hers instilled a great hope and confidence in my heart that I began watching Enjoying Everyday Life daily. Soon God delivered me from depression and clothed me with His garment of joy.
Looking back, I stand amazed at the way God has brought me out of 8 years of loneliness and pain. Today I am ministering to many others who are under the bondage of depression. As Joyce always says, God has truly turned my mess into a message!
Joyce, thanks for the blessing that you are. Your visit to India has touched millions and I am one of them!

I graduated from engineering last year. Like many others, I graduated with a job appointment letter in hand and I was eagerly looking forward to join work. Right then, the economic recession set in and companies stopped hiring freshers from college. My job appointment got postponed too.
I have been feeling very disappointed for the last few weeks. I am so glad that the Lord brought me to the Festival of Life just when I needed it. God used each message to address the need of my heart. I was so encouraged when Christine Caine shared how we could be certain in the midst of uncertainties. The worship led by Hillsong and Delirious? lifted my heart to a whole new level of peace.
Though my future still looks bleak at times, I am confident that my God has my future safe in His hands!

Enjoying Everyday Life broadcast has seen me through a lot of tough moments. I came to know Christ from my elder brother when I was 12 years old. I did not have freedom to express my faith in Christ at home. For years I could not go church or enjoy the fellowship of fellow believers. I used feel depths of despair when I could not reach out to anyone. My only source of hope and encouragement used to be Joyce’s messages. Hence I would secretly wake up at 2:00am and watch Joyce on Star World while my family is fast asleep. Such was the thirst I had for God’s Word. Each time I tuned into her program, Joyce would say just what I needed to hear. There have been days when the Enjoying Everyday Life magazine would arrive exactly when I needed an answer from God. It is amazing how God used Joyce to speak to my heart.
It was an overwhelming experience to take part in the day time conference and to worship God along with people like Darlene Zschech and Delirious? I am grateful to Joyce for bringing such wonderful people to India. I am sure that it is nothing but the love of God that compels her to do what she is doing.
God bless you, Joyce!

Sister Joyce is a blessing not only to us but to millions across the globe. It is such an honor to have her minister to our nation, Karnataka in particular, in such a turbulent time as this. I undoubtedly believe that the revival that has broken-forth here will soon spread to every nook and corner of India!

I work as a Naval Officer for the Indian Navy at Cochin, Kerala. My wife, three children and I traveled all the way to Bangalore just to be a part of this life changing event.
I have been immensely blessed by Joyce Meyer’s books and magazine. It not just transformed my thinking, but my entire personality. The book ‘Battlefield of the Mind’ is one of my all time favorites as it drastically changed the way I think. I used to waste my time watching the television all through the day failing to invest my time with God and my family. The Lord convicted me of it and has completely delivered me from that addiction. Today, I do not switch on the television except for Joyce Meyer’s program. My walk with God and my bond with my family have grown stronger ever since. I shed 4 Kgs of weight last year after reading her book ‘Look Great Feel Great’.
My experience at the Festival of Life is beyond words. My family and I feel very privileged and blessed!

Twenty years ago the Lord called me to India to serve Him as a missionary. I bid farewell to Germany, my motherland, and I came to India on a journey of faith. Ever since I have been sharing the good news of the gospel to little children and young people.
I first heard Joyce Meyer on her visit to Chennai some years ago. I was totally impressed and I was drawn to her as she shared her testimony. I could not watch her program until four years back when my husband gifted me a television. Now it is one of the programs I eagerly look forward to watch. I consider her sermons as my spiritual food. I always write down all her messages as they are deeply anointed and full of power. Joyce’s testimonies have always given me faith to keep my eyes on God and push forward in my ministry against all odds.
I have been eagerly looking forward to seeing Joyce in person as she is a great inspiration to me. God fulfilled my desire at the Festival of Life!
