While at school, she was not able to sit down or pay attention to her teachers. Jessica’s learning was in small intervals, as she was unable to understand her co
lors, numbers or retain information. As a result of this, she was picked on constantly by other students, and sometimes even teachers. In fact, because of all these issues, the school authorities insisted that she get tested for ADHD. When she was eventually tested for ADHD, and put on medication (Ritalin), the doctor said she would be on Ritalin the rest of her life.
The effects of the medication far surpassed the problem it was made to solve. While on Ritalin, although Jessica was more controllable at school, she would look like a zombie at home. She would sit and stare into blank space and the medication made her stomach to hurt. But we kept her on it, because they said that she would never learn without it. As a result of the problems associated with taking Ritalin, Jessica started missing days at school. At that point, she became so discouraged that she hated school and everything that had to do with it.
Shortly after being diagnosed with ADHD, during one of our visits with a psychiatrist for re-evaluation and medication refill, she again was diagnosed with autism, and we were told that she needed to be on another medication. At that point, I disagreed with the psychiatrist. We decided to visit another psychiatrist for a second opinion only to be told that she had slight
retardation and that we just have to accept the fact that she would probably never leave our home or be able to hold a job without assistance.I refused to accept all the diagnosis given to Jessica. In my continuous quest for help for her, I went to the Pastor of the Church I attended who later told me that we might just have to accept the diagnosis and start preparing for the future. That was a disturbing remark from a preacher. I thought to myself, “What!? How could you tell me that? What about prayer? What about the healing power of God?” I realized that the church had no answer either. In fact the church I attended then told me that what was happening was the will of God. But I disagreed!
As Jessica grew older, and after switching her medication to something that wouldn’t hurt her stomach, she started having what the doctor’s called nightmares or “night terrors” where she would start screaming in the middle of the night and have a hard time breathing. I would go to her and try to console her, but she would scream and cry for long periods of time and we would just pray until it passed. It got so bad that I had to start sleeping in her room.
When she was 12, at one of our doctor’s visit, Jessica was diagnosed with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Again, they prescribed another medication, Paxil for her.
As time progressed, Jessica started having cold and congestion on a regular basis. We took her to an allergist where she tested positive for multiple things including Asthma. Yet another medication was prescribed, Advair plus allergy shots twice a week.
Emily was born when Jessica was 10. Emily was as beautiful as Jessica, but her birth added more emotions into the mix. Jessica became very jealous of Emily, because as Emily grew, she did not have any of the issues that Jessica had. The fact that Emily was a quick learner added more to Jessica’s problem. She became even angrier with everyone at home.
Our situation became so bad that in my prayers, I asked God ‘where are Your miracles? Because I know You are the same God back in the days of the bible”. I told God in my prayers ‘‘If You can divide the Red Sea and let your people walk on dry ground, why can’t You heal my daughter Jessica? This is not life the way You intended it. We all knew that’’!
At that point, we were at another church. I went to my new Pastors for prayer, and asked them for help because things have gotten so bad. Jessica would continually argue with Emily to the point where Emily started acting unruly in the house. Emily began to mix up with the wrong crowd and got into the ‘party girls’ routine. There was absolutely no peace in the house because Jessica and Emily were unhappy, hurting, angry girls! I found myself as the referee for everyone in the home! After the Pastors prayed with no results, they told me to kick Jessica out of the house, that after a few days of being on her own, and homeless, she would learn to be obedient to her parent, and be able to hold a job and learn to make it on her own.
That was the final shock. I could not believe that such a comment would come from the Pastors. With all the flood of negative reports from the medical community, and Pastors of the churches I had attended, I almost began to believe in the lies. I thought that if I kick her out, I will deliver the final blow to her! ‘The abandonment of the only person that was fighting for her’. She had thought about suicide several times and I KNEW this would be the thing that would push her over the edge. So I thought to myself, “No! This is not the way!”

Our lives began to change the day we were invited by one of the Pastors at the church we attended to meet this man, a prophet of God. They told me that he was from Africa and that they had seen many miracles through him. So we decided to go and see him.
The first day we came to his meeting, Jessica didn’t want to be there, but I compelled her to be at the meeting, and Praise God I am so glad that I did. As the man of God was speaking, he looked toward our direction and immediately gave a word over my daughters and I. “Household deliverance!” I thought, “WOW!” This is what we had been waiting for all this time, for God to show up and deliver us. Pastor Uba prayed for all of us that night and we were so touched by the power of God that we cried and cried. I knew that this time, THIS was different!
I took the girls home that night, and we all slept so hard throughout the night! We slept like we had never slept before in many years. I slept so deeply that it was very difficult for me to get up and wake the girls for us to go to Church that Sunday morning. When I eventually got myself up, I was unable to get the girls up to prepare for Church. I called the Pastor that had invited me to the meeting with Pastor Uba and he told me not to worry about coming to Church. He said, “Just let them sleep, you aren’t missing anything here.” And they both slept that day until 2 in the afternoon. Wow! Praise God!
Jessica had never slept without the help of medication!! Because we got home so late that night with Pastor Uba, she did not take her nighttime medication, and when Jessica got up the next day, she said she actually felt better than ever before. What an incredible thing to hear!
It has been a very long road with Jessica, but God has been faithful. I have seen Jessica and Emily get delivered from one thing after another. Pastor Uba has been very faithful in praying for Jessica almost every time we come to church service at Glory House, and he has continued to pray for all of us during his personal prayer time.
Jessica is now 25 and she and Emily are both healed completely!! Hallelujah! They are no longer taking any medications or shots whatsoever. Praise God! Jessica sleeps through the night, soundly, without the help of ANY medication, and she now has a full time job. She is getting better each and every day and so is Emily. Jessica has developed a new attitude about herself. She cares less about what people think about her. She now prays for people to be healed and delivered, and she is seeing miracles take place! THIS IS AMAZING!
Emily and Jessica are now the best of friends. They listen to each other and talk like friends. I never thought in all my years, that God could mend a family like He has done for us. I am so thankful to the Lord for all He has done for me and my girls. He has been faithful in all His ways!! He has answered our prayers and He has delivered us!
I can tell you without any uncertainty that coming to Glory House was the best thing that we have ever done, other than the salvation we received from our Lord Jesus Christ. And that I know that Pastor Peter Uba is a true servant of God!!
Not everything has been easy for us. We had to make a commitment to God that we would serve Him in Spirit and in truth and walk holy before Him all our lives. As a mom, after all we have seen and experienced, I know that Glory House is the place we have to be. And being under the leadership of Pastor Peter Uba has been the best decision that we have ever made.
Our lives are forever changed. Apart from the deliverance my daughters received, I myself have been delivered from Asthma, pain, rejection, depression, just name it! Praise the living God! The ONLY medication we take everyday in our home is the WORD OF GOD. It is real, and it works with no side effects. Amen and Amen!!
The first time I came to Glory House Church in 2011, I was sick, depressed and lonely, had severe asthma, severe back pain, my feet constantly hurt, and I had three jobs just to make ends meet. My daughters and I had really thought that God had totally given up on us and that He just didn’t love us anymore. But one day, we decided to go to this Healing and Deliverance Conference and our lives haven’t been the same!
I have been completely healed from asthma, arthritis, foot pain, back pain, depression, loneliness and feeling completely worthless. My daughters have also been delivered from asthma, depression, anger, and so much more! We now know that God has always loved us and never left us. He can do more for you!
My mother was diagnosed with COPD. According to the American Lung Association, this is the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States. They state on their website, "it causes serious long term disability and early death. There is no cure for COPD". She travelled 9 hours from Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend our December 10th, 2011 Healing and Deliverance meeting in Katy, Texas. After attending, "all" of her symptoms left her. She was completely healed and her doctor that diagnosed her confirmed the healing. Praise Jesus! God is still working miracles today, there is hope for you, come attend and receive your miracle.
I was born with three leakages in my heart, and with heart murmur. Sometime in 2011, I attended the healing and deliverance miracle services in Odessa, Texas. I came for prayer, and a few days later, I went for a check. My doctor confirmed that the three heart leakages are no longer in existence in my heart, and that the heart murmur has stopped. He further said that my heart is strong and functional fully well. Praise God!
