Don’t lose hope and if you feel stuck
When I first met Ancy, I had just made the decision (with many prayers) to quit my corporate career to stay home with my newly born daughter. I knew I wanted to quit my job because it would have been a huge strain on me and my daughter’s relationship, with the long hours I was obligated to work plus the hour and a half commute there and back. I was happy that God made a way for me to be able to financially make this decision, thanks to my husband who took on the sole role of providing for our household. However, I felt like I had lost a part of myself. I was thriving as a mother, but I was just not fully fulfilled, and I felt God was calling me to do more of His ministry. I was feeling a lot of depression and resentment with my current situation, and I knew something needed to change. I decided to reach out to Ancy for her healing sessions.
In her sessions I was able to be open with her, and I never felt judged or misguided. Ancy truly helped me find clarity on where God was calling me. She helped me heal from the guilt I was carrying for not feeling fulfilled as a mother and wife. After multiple sessions with her I was getting stronger in my faith and was finally letting go of my guilt and shame and allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me in my next steps. Shortly after, I decided to go back to school to pursue my cosmetology license. I had always had an interest in the cosmetology field even at a young age but never felt able to pursue it. After a year of school, I finished my course and passed my state board exam and acquired my cosmetology license within a year. In our sessions I told Ancy often I wanted to own my own business, and I felt God was making a way for me to be able to do this.
With much prayer, I found a commercial suite in the same city I reside, and God gave me the opportunity to lease the building and establish my own hair salon. I acquired the building and with much help from my awesome husband we were able to transform the space God blessed us with into a beautiful hair salon. We have been open and we are gaining clientele and are able to offer stylists a great, safe, and godly place to work. It has not been the easiest road that God put before me, but I know He has faith in me, and I can truly say I am so fulfilled more than I could have ever imagined! I have a flexible schedule, I am working in the same town I live in, I am able to see my beautiful daughters as often as I please. God loves His children more than we can even imagine. Don’t lose hope and if you feel stuck, God places His saints in your life when you least expect it. I truly believe God blessed me with Ancy and her gifts. I wouldn’t be here today without her help. I highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling in any area of their life, she truly is a blessing! #Godisgood (Meredith)
Bringing God’s truth to the situations
I met Ancy at a small worship meeting. Ancy and Joe both spoke at this meeting. When the meeting was over, I reached out & gave her my information in case we were to ever meet up. I do this frequently so I never know who will respond and who will not. To my surprise, Ancy reached out right away and we ended up meeting for dinner with our husbands.
One of the most amazing things about this was that I prayed for people to come alongside me and help me with those I am helping. There are so many people who are struggling and relationships are often strained. God so graciously brought us together. Ancy offered her time to me freely to find out my needs and pray with me. I have my own challenges going on, but I am also surrounded by the needs of other hurting believers. Ancy helped me through many challenges and allowed me to bring others with me when we met.
I not only received help but was able to witness the way she helps others through their struggles. No matter what the conversation, she’s always smiling and full of hope. You cannot help but feel better after walking away from a meeting with her. She walks you through your thoughts and feelings while bringing God’s truth to the situation so you can see more clearly. She listens intently but is not afraid to speak much needed truth to challenge your perspective and redirect you to the Father.
She is a powerful force to help you defeat the enemy when you work with her and allow her to speak into your situation and follow her suggestions to be consistent and honest about where you are on your journey. After all, you cannot get where you desire to go unless you know and acknowledge where you really are!
Thank you Ancy for your dedication to walking in God’s Power through your sharing your gifts and offering your time and counsel. Thank you for your prayers and your love for the Body of Christ. Thank you for your boldness and your example of obedience in situations that are full of uncertainty.
God bless you and Joe as He provides you need and way more for the spreading of the good news and the building up of His Church. With love and gratitude. (Casey)
Prayer guided approach
I was born as a twin kid with a loving twin brother to my loving and blessed parents. Life has been smooth throughout as I have been with my twin brother till I completed my matriculation. He was more of an extrovert, well networked among friends and I used to latch onto him for all my overall activities. I was more hardworking in nature when it comes to studies & he was always at ease but used to score at par. I was always happy about it & comfortable being with him, sharing with him & getting inspired by him.
My parents used to leave it our way& never tried to push me or compare between ourselves. My mental trauma erupted when my brother left us &stayed apart for pursuing +2 studies coupled with entrance coaching. I stayed at home since I wanted to be with my parents but his vacuum had put me in a different mental frame. But I managed 2 years only getting consoled that during once in 2 weeks he used to be around for a day or two. He got adapted easily but I was going through a missing pain which I never voiced out.
We both passed +2 & he managed to get higher marks & a seat for engineering through entrance. My favourite subject was biology and hence wrote medical entrance but didn’t fair well. Now looking back I realised that was the turning point in my life when my father took lot of interests in pooling huge money to get me an admission in medical college just to keep me happy & at par with my brother. I never denied it but was not confident whether I will be able to do justice to self & parents going out of my home, comforts & still didn’t voice out.
I got admitted in a college which was far away but had lot of relatives at that place but nothing could console me other than my parents, my home & brother. Studies started. Being in hostel for the first time, new friends, new environment& tough course curriculum I was thoroughly confused. I knew I was changing not able to cope up troubling my parents on a daily basis to give up while getting depressed equally understanding the fact that my parents had put in their entire investments on my studies. One year I struggled with myself, I had to take medicines for depression & everything aggravated with first time failures in initial set of internal exams.
Everything came to a standstill when I gave up totally & my father had to take that bold call of getting me back home sacrificing the entire money they had invested and my ambitious career. I shrunk to myself &even felt like killing myself to get saved from this trauma I was going through but could not when I realized how much my parents loved me. That is the first time when I saw them in tears because of my approach. I was not in a mood to pursue anything in life & that is when one of my close friends came into my life as an angel informing me Mrs. Ancy Joe and her husband.
I still remember the first day I met them when I was not at all convinced with what they told me. But the trust they showered on me regarding prayer& God’s presence moved me. Then it was days of blessings. Consistent counselling & prayer sessions enriched, enlightened & gave me confidence. It helped me in exploring & handholding me with guiding light of God’s grace. Even though I lost one year, I applied for graduation & was very particular that will only avail a merit admission.
Now I am so happy & proud that I recovered, did that course for 3 years & came out with flying colors & that too God blessed me with a 3rd rank at university level in Degree. Now I realize God has plans for everyone & He sets direction through His aids other than our own relatives & parents. Now I am confident enough in making it in life & my revival is a testimony to prayer guided approach. (Tes)
