We Must Keep
Jesus First
For this cause we also, since the day we
heard it, do not cease to pray for yo, and
to desire that ye might be filled with the
knowledge of his will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding; That ye might
walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Strengthened with all might, according to
his glorious power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving
thanks unto the Father which hath made
us meet to be partakers of the inheritance
of the saints in light: Who hath delivered
us from the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom of his
dear Son: In whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the forgiveness
of sins: Who is the image of the invisible
God, the firstborn of every creature. For
by him were all things created, that are in
heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all
things were created by him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the
church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he
might have the preeminence. (Colossians
1:9-18)

Hello CHOP Family,
I want to give God all of the
glory, honour and praise for his
mighty hand upon me! The past
few years have been very trying
for me. Last year the enemy
pulled out all stops and antics
to get me to lose my focus and
faith in the Father. I cannot tell
and express everything that
happened but I will share one
testimony of His healing power.
Around the third week in July
of last year, after washing my
hair, I took a Q-Tip to get the
excess water out of my ears.
At the same time, I reached for
something behind me and lost
my balance, falling against the
wall on my right side - the same
side that I was using the Q-Tip.
Regretfully, the Q-tip became
lodged into my ear. I immediately went down in much pain,
sat down and pulled it out of my
ear. At the same time, I was
praying and binding the devil confessing and taking hold of
my healing in advance . I did
not see any blood or discharge
and praised God for that, hoping that I did not penetrate my
eardrum. However, my hearing was muffled and my ear felt
like it was stopped up. After
about an hour or two, the pain
subsided very much. I went to
sleep but when I woke up the
next morning, there was blood
on my pillow. I went to the ER
to make sure everything was
okay and the doctor said that my
eardrum was ruptured. I would
have to follow up with an ENT
as soon as possible (which was
about in two weeks when I called
to schedule the appointment).
The next week, I hit a deer on
the way back from treating myself for my birthday dessert. It
was my first time ever hitting a
deer and the damage was mainly
to my front bumper. I was fine.
looked like a very small rock
coming from one of the trucks towards me. As I kept driving, the
size of the rock appeared bigger
and larger as it bounced towards
my lane. When it hit my wind-
My
Testimony
Sister Segatha
Douglas
I have learned how to lean and
depend on Him with a bold and
fearless faith!
The very next week, while on my
way to the ENT appointment, I
was in the far right lane on I-35 in
preparation to exit to the hospital.
The highway was full of traffic
and many 18 wheelers, as usual.
From the center lane, I saw what
shield, it was the size of a kingsized baking potato. I had to pull
off of the road and call for help.
Glass was everywhere and in my
hair, and much of the glass became as powder upon me. My
appointment was in about 15
minutes so I knew I would miss
it. After getting EMT assistance,
they found not one cut on me. My
uncle was able to drive me to my
appointment and they still saw me
even though I was almost an hour
late and had glass all on my clothing. The doctor’s report was that
my ear had begun to heal well and
the perforation was now closed.
However, she saw fluid behind my
ear and advised that I should return if I still had issues after the
next 2 weeks.
Over the next few nights, I began
to hear a sound in my ear that
was like a washing machine and
it became louder. I went online
to research and realized that it
was my pulse that I was hearing
due to the fluid in my ear. It was
causing a condition called “pulsatile tinnitus”. It was very annoying and pain started to come
and go, as well as the muffled
hearing. About the first week of
September, Bishop said on one
Sunday morning service that 30
people would be healed in that
service. Although I had already
believed God and received healing for the rupture in my ear, the
battle was advancing to other
problems. Right then I claimed
my healing for every issue caused
by the rupture and believed God
that I was one of the 30. The enemy tried to discourage me each
time my ear was ringing with my
own pulse, causing me not to be
able to hear as I should at work
and even at church. But I heard
Pastor Valerie say a few weeks
later at prayer, quoting what Bishop had prophesied in the previous
intercessory prayer - that healing
would be manifested in 7 days. I
was not there that previous Saturday, but God hand- delivered my
word of faith right where I was, so
I believed that I would be one to
receive the manifestation. I had
calculated and that left me with
one day left for the healing of the
tinnitus to be manifested. I had
an expectation for the fluid to
drain from my ear! I had not had
one nights sleep without the ringing since it started. But that was
over! That night the issue ceased
and for a season all other issues
ceased as well. About a week later, I realized that the enemy was
not going to let up and tried to
bring the tinnitus back and take
my healing. I had a “dog-gone”
Caleb tenacity that he was not
going to steal my blessing so the
fight was on! I bound him in Jesus’ name and brought backGod
His word concerning His promise
and the tinnitus never returned!
The enemy tried another plan.
About the first or second week of
November, I was writing this testimony to give a praise report of my
healing, and the next day I woke
up and felt off balance when I
moved or turned my head. I never
felt like that before. I went to work
but each time I would lift my head
up or turn my head in a certain
direction, I would feel off balance
again. That evening, I was somewhat dizzy while driving and ended up at the ER. I was diagnosed
with Benign-positional vertigo, a
condition they said was caused
from the ruptured eardrum. It can
happen when crystals in the inner
ear become dislodged causing the
equilibrium to be off, which makes
the spinning and dizzy sensation,
as well as nausea and vomiting.
They put me on Meclizine, which
causes drowsiness.
Over the
next few days, I could not function
and had to miss work and ended
up back at the hospital. The doctor said that this condition can last
for a short or a long period of time
but to continue my medication. I
was referred back to the ENT. I
followed the doctor’s orders and
prayed for a miracle so that I could
drive and go back to work. I did
get better over the next few days.
I knew that I was under attack by
the enemy’s noemas and that I
had to continue to fight the good
fight of faith. I had declared that
I had already won this battle and
would not give up my healing!
When I went back to the ENT,
they gave me a hearing test and
a thorough ear exam due to the
vertigo and cleared me of any ill
findings! After about 2 weeks later, I was able to visit my father
for Thanksgiving. While I was
there, I had visited my uncle and
his wife. She had just overcome
vertigo, which had plagued her
for about a year or two. When I
looked online, there were people
who had the issue and still had
not been able to recover, having
daily nausea, vomiting and dizzy spells. I thank God that I was
able to overcome within a week!
I will continue to do the practical
and watch God do the providential. Though I could not tell the
half of what the enemy meant for
my bad in all of the tests and trials
of 2014, God has worked it ALL
out for my good! I have learned
how to lean and depend on Him
with a bold and fearless faith! My
focus is greater and fixed on the
Father! The gaps the devil created are closed by the mighty hand
of God! I will continue to humble
myself under His mighty hand for
it is truly all about Him!
