827: An Invasion of the Supernatural Realm
The Confessionals
Crisis: Imminent Death
Heather recalls collapsing, doctors predicting imminent death, and Joseph striking down that prognosis in prayer.
In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Heather Z shares a powerful testimony shaped by trauma, the supernatural, and unwavering encounters with God. She recounts a near-death experience at age 14, human trafficking, and seasons of spiritual rebellion, yet through it all, God’s presence never left her. Heather describes miraculous physical healings, including a broken C1 vertebra that healed in weeks, and a long battle with hereditary kidney failure that placed her in the middle of intense spiritual warfare. That conflict escalated into a disturbing demonic manifestation through a doctor, followed by moments of divine protection and clarity. The episode culminates in a chilling face-to-face encounter with a Gray entity, where prayer and spiritual authority immediately shifted the outcome. This is a raw and sobering testimony of endurance, discernment, and the power of Christ to heal, protect, and restore.
Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
