The Voices of Freedom
My people have been waiting for so long. Over two years ago a national leader said that God had told him that we must do the Kingdom of God Discipleship Program. This was puzzling because we were thinking we knew everything. We had received many teachings, even sent people out to reach other people. Even our land is considered God’s country. We boast about this to others.

Yet it was true, we had lost something. We did not have the fullness of the truth. We were stuck in religion and bondage. I see all this because now I have been touched by God’s truth and live in the victory of surrender. So we share from our hearts what we have come to know and experience of God. For it is true, freedom comes in knowing the truth and the truth has set us free.
Ashmy testifies: ‘When we receive the truth, the truth will set you free.’ These are the words I would always hear, but no one would tell me what is the truth and how to receive it. I was searching for the truth, and when I did the Secret of Success I felt the truth and discovered how to receive it. I then started the Kingdom of God Discipleship Program and through this program I came to further understand the truth and have now received it. For fifteen years I have wanted to know of this truth. This course will indeed set everybody’s life free!
Ashia also testifies: I was going through a blindness to the spiritual life and there was a gap between me and God. I was disturbed a lot. When I would come to prayer I was judged. This was binding me up even more. No one could explain to me how to connect with God, how to give my heart to Him, how to receive Him. But when doing the Secret of Success I had a chance to open up my heart freely. In doing this something new has come. I cried and received Jesus.
However, I was still having same mind and some disturbances were still there. I went to visit my cousin in a different state and they were preaching the Jesus loves : the world sermon about Jesus turning water into wine. I sat and listened. Through this I came to know how Jesus fills empty lives and touches each one to become of great value. From there my thoughts and mind changed. I realised I was of an empty heart. I had nothing in my heart. It was like the empty vessel of stone. Now Jesus has filled my heart with His living water and His love. I am a new vessel of Jesus. Since my return to my home town I have done the Kingdom of God Discipleship Program. Now Jesus can use me in this different way to give His Living Water to the people.
My name is Peter. This is first experience of God for me. I’m now seeing Jesus in a different way. Not in the same way that I have been told by my people before. I now understand how to receive and how to surrender. There are lots of people in my life and they thought they must give to receive. That is, they would say I must give money and material things if I want the blessings. This Kingdom of God Discipleship Program is different. I have come to learn and experience that if you have received Jesus, you have everything with you. This new revelation has changed my life. If I come to pray with God, I don’t ask for material things. I ask Jesus to come and I surrender and Jesus comes and I receive everything!
I am Jay and this is my story. My parents, pastors and church members always taught me that to receive Jesus I have to be holy and separated for His purpose. But I used to fail and do some mistakes. As this teaching would come to my mind, I thought I would never be able to receive Jesus. I used to think I was cut off from Jesus. Through the Kingdom of God Discipleship Program for the first time I have received Jesus. It was a beautiful time of surrender, when I opened my heart and called out to Father God. It is amazing that He is there to come at anytime and He will never cut me off or throw me away. This truth taught me that I was with wrong teaching and now I am with Jesus. I have received Jesus and He makes me holy.
My name is Ranji. I have insecurity in my mind. When my parents spoke and other people spoke they would say that I’m good for nothing. I had no marriage and no job. I was in bondage to insecurity. Due to all this I was in complete depression. I was trapped in fear, so I feared to do anything. The bondage of insecurity was making me not to try something. Complete brokenness was in my heart. I tried to come out of it, but it was not possible. One day in my village I saw these people who came to us. They were praying and people were crying. I wanted to come closer. The first word I heard was that ‘the truth will set you free.’ The second word I heard was that ‘Jesus is the truth’ and I thought if I come to Jesus I will be set free. I did this. I surrendered to God and felt peace. My identity is in the grace of God, not in my colour or gender, but through the grace of God I can do anything. I am now looking for a job.
