Arrest, Hospital Escape Attempt, and Divine Intervention

In this episode, Katie Souza shares her astonishing journey from extreme violence, addiction, and organized drug trafficking into a life radically transformed by Jesus Christ. She recounts years of running labs, evading the feds, and spiraling toward destruction; until a failed hospital escape ended with what she believes was the physical intervention of the Holy Spirit, redirecting her into prison and into God’s hands. Behind bars, Katie experiences spontaneous tongues, relentless spiritual warfare, and encounters with angels, including a guardian angel who appeared more like a street fighter than a traditional heavenly being, and a later visitation from Gabriel that confirmed her calling. From that crucible, God forges her into a weapon, turning rage into authority and captivity into commission. Today, Katie leads a powerful deliverance ministry, marked by extraordinary miracles including metal disappearing from bodies, supernatural healings, and mass deliverance released through testimony alone. The episode closes with a chilling encounter involving a werewolf-like entity, underscoring the very real spiritual warfare Katie now confronts head-on in the power of Christ.
