I attended this camp in August this year and the Holy Spirit ignited a flame in my heart that has turned into the most awesome fire that won’t stop growing as my relationship with our Father grows.
The effect of this camp has impacted my life in SO many wonderful ways;)
I know it’s only the start of my journey – but if it wasn’t for this camp I would not have known the joyous power of HIS amazing Love once I was free of the bonds that held me back from accepting the Love, Peace and Forgiveness that Jesus has for all of us,
If like me, you feel that you are searching for something spiritually or you find that you have the same problems hindering your life or you want to feel HIS presence in your life again -then you will find the tools to break these bonds in this camp!
I had an abortion years ago just before I became saved. I was 16wks pregnant. It
was so traumatic for me as the baby was stuck in my virgina and I had to
take it out myself. I continually asked God for forgiveness for what I had
done, but did not feel any release. One night I dreamt that I was in a
beautiful place and there was so much joy around, there were lots of
children running and playing full of laughter. My eyes fell on a beautiful
little boy with long blonde curls, I was looking at him and at the same
time I bubbling with joy. I then asked whose son is this, and a gentle
voice from behind me said, it is your son. As I turned to look who
answered I awoke, still laughing. Thanks to God for this weekend as I got
released. This is one of the many things that God has done for me this
weekend.
I came this weekend not really knowing what to expect but just being in faith, I came along. And, I must thank you all for the help, the prayers, for the relief that I’ve had, for the peace. There’s just a sense of calm and peace – letting go. And I think maybe right out this morning, during the communion, Randy prayed for me – I had a carpal tunnel op on 1st August and my hand is still quite stiff and sore so I don’t have much movement in it. And after he prayed with me, I mean, I’m doing this now – He’s healed me. I could hold but I didn’t have pressure to grip, and I took my pad and my pencil after and I started writing and my friend said put the date down also just to remember it, and I said, do you see what I’m doing? And she said, wow, you’re writing! And something I wasn’t able to do during praise and worship was to clap and after that, I can clap!
On the weekend of 1-3 August 2008 I attended the 7steps2freedom in Jesus Christ camp
at St Raphaels in Faure, Stellenbosch. I met an amazing group of spiritually rich Christians and others in search of this richness. There were approximately forty people, aged from teenager to pensioner and all at varying levels in their relationships with God. I didn’t really know anyone there, other than faces I’d seen in church, but you didn’t need to know anyone, it was as though everyone automatically belonged, an instant family. Often when at a function with strangers or even socialising with people you already know there are lulls in conversation where people feel awkward and have the need to make idle chitchat. I never experienced any of this. I felt just as comfortable sitting with them in silence as what I did chatting and sharing experiences with them.
The 7 step program was really intense, but oh so worth it. I have received clarity on so
many areas in my life and am in awe of how much I still have to learn. On the 3rd day at camp I physically experienced the awesome power of the Holy Spirit. One of the gifts bestowed on me by the Holy Spirit is the ability to open the Bible on any page and actually understand what the words mean. No longer gibberish! Isn’t that just awesome? Praise God!
I have loved Jesus my whole life. He has been my friend and saviour through many
tragedies and tough times. I generally spoke to him throughout the day, without really
thinking about it, because that’s what I’ve always done. I did not know the immense joy and peace that asking forgiveness for, being a sinner or praising and worshipping God just because I love Him and I can, brings to one.
Prior to the camp, I really believed that we live in depressing and ungodly times. I kept
telling people that Jesus loves me and is taking me home early, at least before 65 years
old anyway, little realising that this world is God’s organised chaos, exactly as He planned it, every little detail with a reason. I had been discouraging my teenage sons from considering marriage and having to raise children in this sad sick world, especially since I have witnessed the effects of the sins of the fathers on my family. I never knew about genetic bondage or that we can be released from this. I know now that God has a solution for everything and anything to do with our salvation and that my children and grandchildren will lead safe, happy and healthy lives if they so choose. I do still believe that Jesus is taking me home early, since I am the apple of His eye, but early may mean when I’m 104 and yet still believe I have more work to do for Christ on this earth.
All that is left for me to say is that which has been said before,” when life leads you to the edge of a cliff, God will do one of two things. He will either catch you when you fall or teach you how to fly”.
Further more, I’d like to say a very big thank you to Rija and his awesome team for bringing the” 7steps2freedom in Jesus Christ” to us. May the Holy Spirit empower
you to do God’s work more and more each day.
Love and Blessings

P.S. I’m learning how to fly. Praise You, Jesus!
I greet you all in the precious the name of our savior, our lord Jesus Christ.My name is Samantha,32yrs old, i live in the beautiful province of KZN. I attended the seven steps to freedom camp this weekend the 22/05/09 to 24/05/09 in Pennington KZN, the first to take place in KZN and i know by the grace of GOD not the last. I know that every one who had attended the camp were truly blessed. The teachings by Ps. Rija and his team taught us how we could live our life the right way in CHRIST. The most important issue to deal with which each of us have a problem with dealing with is FORGIVENESS.
I am blessed to say that i have been healed and totally delivered of being sexually abused when i was young, from the rejection i felt from my mother, feelings of not being loved, from stuttering and stammering, i could not speak more than two words without stuttering.
I have been so blessed that when i got to work on Monday 25/05/09, i opened my salary advice i saw that the birthday bonus that our company blesses us with an amount of R2500.00 was doubled this year for me, i thanked GOD immediately, only he can do the impossible. (in our country these days and with the recession which company can afford to give a birthday bonus of R5000.00) MY GOD ENSURED THAT I WAS BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE. THANK YOU JESUS
The people who attended this camp were so blessed, they cannot wait to attend another camp, the healing and joy it brought into our lives that cannot be described is so very much appreciated.
Thank you once again to Ps.Rija and his team especially my aunt Savy who introduced us to this camp, who never gave up on her family,who prayed and intercessed for her family. We LOVE and APPRECIATE you.
I pray that the Pastors and team of the SEVEN STEPS TO FREEDOM camp be always blessed and we wait eagerly to see you in the next camp in Durban, KZN.
Lots of LOVE
SAMANTHA
