00:00This just shows me that my visa was not approved because of anything done by me, but it was just
00:06the help and the mercy of God. I got here to the United States in the month of June. That
00:13was last
00:14month on the 13th of June. Also, I got a scholarship to study in one of the most prestigious universities
00:22here in the United States and I have a monthly stipend and I have a full health insurance coverage.
00:36Grace and a peace to you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My name is
00:42Risco.
00:44I am from Cameroon, but currently I live in the United States. I want to give
00:51glory to God for all he has done in my life through his mercy and his divine favor.
00:58In 2019, I started working as a part-time teacher, fresh from obtaining my bachelor's degree.
01:09From 2019 to 2023, my life was characterized by severe hardship, rejection and failure.
01:19Despite my effort and qualification, there was truly nothing to write home about. During this period too,
01:29it is worth noting that I was actually suffering from the spirit of lust and sexual immorality, which
01:37degenerated into the spirit of masturbation. As a result of that, I gave access to the spiritual
01:47wife in my life. The spiritual wife really tormented me a lot and I had no focus. Even when I
01:55sit in
01:55class or to do anything, there was really no focus and I just felt heaviness in my spirit. I really
02:03could
02:03not do anything meaningful because I always felt so dizzy and so heavy. In the month of June 2023,
02:13I actually grew so tired of my situation and I began to seek for a solution. It is during this
02:22period that
02:23I met a pastor friend of mine and I opened up to him. I explained my situation to him. I
02:30told him what
02:30I was going through and he actually ushered me into a fasting program, three days fasting program.
02:37So after the fasting program, I kept on hearing a voice in my spirit, a name in my spirit, heart
02:45of God, heart of God. Honestly,
02:47I really did not know what it meant. So the voice kept persisting. So I had no option but to
02:56open up to my
02:57pastor friend. I told him what I was hearing in my spirit. So when I explained it to him, he
03:03told me that
03:04the heart of God I am hearing in my spirit is similar to Brother Chris's ministry, God's Heart TV.
03:12And he told me that Brother Chris, who used to work at this con, has a YouTube channel, God's Heart
03:21TV. And he
03:22always prays for people on that channel every month. So out of curiosity and faith, I decided to go to
03:31YouTube and I typed interactive prayers with Brother Chris and I saw a fistful of videos pop up. So I
03:41downloaded some of those videos and it became my regular routine. Every morning and every evening, I
03:49I consistently prayed with Brother Chris using the videos. And I did that with a lot of faith. So after
04:00some time, I realized that I was free from the spirit of masturbation, which tormented me and the
04:08spirit wife too had left. So I was not experiencing that anymore. That all those things now are things of
04:16the
04:16past. As of now, my relationship with God is very stable and every day I experience growth in my
04:24spiritual life. I find it very much easy now to read my Bible and to meditate. Like even when I
04:33am
04:33walking on the street, I am in a state of meditation and I do that effortlessly. That's the most interesting
04:40part about it. Not long after my deliverance, I had a dream in which I was interviewed. A few days
04:48later,
04:50my mother's friend sent a job advertisement and she advised my mother to encourage me to apply for that job.
04:59So everything went so fast. And within 48 hours, I deposited my application, got interviewed and
05:09I was given the job. And this became the first, my first ever full-time job since my graduation. And
05:18from that
05:18moment on, I began to experience a positive turnaround in my life. My prayer life grew and I actually had
05:27an earnest desire in reading God's Word. Something that was very difficult for me at first, but I actually
05:36found it so enjoyable and it was a very wonderful experience. So I felt the desire and the need to
05:45pray
05:46consistently in my heart, meditating and reading the Word of God. So fast forward to 2026,
05:55I consistently attended the monthly interactive prayers with brother Chris. And in the month of March,
06:04precisely March 28, I received a call from my mother in which she told me that a friend of us,
06:13a colleague of us
06:14contacted her to tell her about a job opportunity here in the United States.
06:20And the shocking thing is, my mother is not even close to this colleague in question. So the colleague
06:28actually was contacted by someone who works here in the United States. And she told him that there was a
06:35need of a French teacher here in the United States. So this colleague once remembered that my mother had once
06:43told him that she had a son who was a teacher. So he called my mother to inquire if I
06:49could teach French.
06:51And my mother agreed to that. She said I could teach French. So he asked my mother to put me
06:57in contact with him.
06:58So I got to him. He gave me directions on what to do. He put me in contact with the
07:05person here in the
07:06United States, the employer. So I sent my application and I was programmed for two interview sessions, which I
07:17successfully went through. And after the two interview sessions, I was described as very experienced and competent.
07:27And I was sent my employment letter. So when the moment came for the visa application,
07:37I grew so nervous and fear gripped my heart because getting a U.S. visa in my country, Cameroon,
07:46is something that is very difficult and it is very challenging too. So when that moment came,
07:55I just remember this scripture that God has not given us the spirit of fear, but he has given us
08:01the
08:02spirit of boldness. So that kept on ringing in my heart. So with that scripture, I found the courage to
08:09go through the interview. And when we got to the interview center, there was a lot of chaos,
08:15people fighting to queue up and stuff like that. So deep in my heart, I knew that it is not
08:22by fighting
08:23that I would get a visa, but I knew that I had only one job to do. That is to
08:28engage with God,
08:30engage my heart. And I kept on meditating, son of David, have mercy on me. Let your mercy speak for
08:38me.
08:39Let your divine favor locate me in the name of Jesus. So I kept on meditating. And even when I
08:45was standing
08:46in front of the consular officer, I was still in the state of meditation. When he asked me a question
08:52before responding, I just said in my heart, thank you, Jesus, before giving out the answer. After my
08:58interview, my visa was approved. And to make this more shocking and to actually show that it was the
09:05favor of God, I attended the same interview with a lady from my country who was also coming to teach
09:13in
09:13the same school as I. She was coming to teach mathematics. So we were interviewed on the same
09:19day. We were asked the same questions. And unfortunately, her visa was not approved, but mine was
09:27approved. So this just shows me that my visa was not approved because of anything done by me, but it
09:35was just the help and the mercy of God. I got here to the United States in the month of
09:41June. That was last
09:42month on the 13th of June. Also, I got a scholarship to study in one of the most prestigious universities
09:51here in the United States. And I started my studies last month on the 15th of June. Currently, I am
10:00pursuing a master's degree in advanced teaching at St. Louis University here in the United States. This
10:08document shows that I have actually been admitted into St. Louis University here in the United States.
10:15And I have a monthly stipend and I have a full health insurance coverage. As for my teaching career,
10:24I will start my teaching career here in the United States in the month of August because their academic
10:30year begins in August. So I really want to thank God for all he has done in my life. My
10:36advice to
10:38viewers all over the world and young people especially is that whenever you are suffering from something,
10:47just like I was suffering, it is always imperative to run to God because God is our only Lord and
10:56Savior.
10:56God will actually intervene in your situation and give you a tangible and a lasting solution
11:03without judging you. So whenever you are going through a challenge, you should not run from God,
11:10but you should run to God. And also, for young people or anyone, inasmuch as hard work is very
11:19important. We need to blend hard work with a prayerful life. It is very important to be prayerful. If I
11:27am where
11:27I am today, though I am still growing, this is not a way to say that I have arrived. If
11:35I have gotten to
11:36this level, it is as a result of blending hard work with prayers. Because if you work hard without the
11:46help of the help of God, you can't go anywhere. So it is very important that we work as if
11:52it all depends on us, and we pray as if it all depends on God.
12:02When I was praying, I didn't know what was really happening. But I recognized a strong force that came within
12:10me. So it was like I was trying to balance up. Because I was standing still, then I found myself
12:16like losing the balance. After that, I found that something has just gotten out of me.
12:23.
