Esther Cossey

Thank you so much for sharing how you came to San Jose. I will never be the same again, I've learned so much. God's love is awesome. Thank you for listening to the Holy Spirit. My emotions were everywhere! But I got rid of a lot of baggage because God doesn't want baggage! LOL! The teaching was wonderful!

Thank you for being honest, direct and truthful. I loved your truthfulness! I needed that. We have a lot in common that's why I like truthfulness!

Thank you Nels for making the CDs. My husband and I are listening to them. As soon as my husband listens to them I put them on and listen to them again and again. They are life changing.

Thank you for sharing your life because I got my life back!

During these two years going through the teachings, things that I wasn't even aware that were inside of me surfaced and the Lord made every teaching to be in perfect timing for me to deal with habits or actions and mistakes that were contrary to His Word.

My relationship with Him got better knowing I can run to Him in every situation in my life; He can guide me, he can heal me emotionally, and he broke legalism that was in my life. With His love, He took every teaching to take away impurities that were hindering me.

These years were the beginning of a new path on how to relate and seek my Lord, not for what knowledge I can get, but to look for Him for my lasting relationship with Him; that way, I can let Him live through me to touch people around me and let them experience Him knowing that it is the goodness of God that brings man to repentance. Now I can share what I learned from Him, HIS GOODNESS!!!

If I had to choose one experience to share it would be of Emal. A christian lady who loved the Lord. She was alone, no husband or children living with her. She did have a daughter in Las Angeles. With JJ and the team we sat with her in her house and discussed the gospel. She told us how God had taught her to read the bible without any education. It was a supernatural endowment by the Holy Spirit. She said that no one believed her, but we said we did.

As we continued with her we discovered she had a gift. The Lord gave her visions, so powerful that it scared her. She had seen satan in a dream and he was awful, really awful and very scary. What we discovered as she shared was that satan had isolated her from people because they didn't believe her about her experiences with the Lord. She wasn't going to church so she wasn't even fellowshipping with other believers.

JJ invited her to his church, where she would be believed and her gifts would be welcomed.

As we were saying our goodbyes, she told us that she had never had such an experience as this. Even with the language barrier, I could tell she would never forget this time together discussing the word, praying together and finally being heard and believed.

This was one of the many examples of the hospitality of the people in Nicaragua and the hunger to hear and share the love of God.

Until this experience I hadn't fully understood the importance of mission trips. But now I do.

Since attending CBC (Charis Bible College) San Jose my life has been changed forever. I am not the same person I was two years ago. My initial transformation began after salvation 13 and ½ years ago as I began to study and meditate on God’s word. During my time at CBC this transformation process has ramped up so significantly that I want to continue this process and deeper relationship with the Father forever. When you have tasted something so sweet, nothing else can compare. As Paul stated in Philippians 3:12-14 (KJV) “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

I am pressing on because I have life and I have a purpose greater than myself.

The teaching has revealed new truths and a deeper understanding regarding healing, grace, faith, and what Jesus has provided for me through His death, burial and resurrection. I also know more about the true nature of God and my authority as a believer. My Transformation has taken time through study, meditation, and the application of God’s word. It’s so great to be in the ‘sweet spot’ knowing I’m doing what God has called me to do. The best is yet to come!

Ephesians 3:20-21 (KJV)

“Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.”

I've had a storage unit now for nearly 3 years, holding everything I still have. I so look forward to unpacking it all in our new beach home, this spring/summer I declare!! Making the payments have been done differently each month I've had it, all done by the grace of God. This past month, the Holy Spirit gave me directions to reach out to a certain person for help and I did. Three times I reached out with no response.

In the meantime, I saw repeated examples of manifestations just come and present themselves to Nels and Kathryn with their new RV and so on the last few days of the month, I also expected the same for myself since I wasn't hearing any further directions from the Holy Spirit. He did say to rest in His finished work and read the Psalms. A few months ago I had read through the Psalms underlining varies verses of truth and encouragement soI read these verses aloud over and over.

The end of the month came, no manifestation for my unit. I need to be a good steward of your things Lord, what do I do? I know the unit is blessed based on speaking over it with tongues 2 years earlier and the simple knowledge of blessings that came through prayer from another 2 months ago.

But now I'm facing (in the natural) no payment, don't know where to get the payment and it's the storage unit company's time for cutting off the locks, putting on a lien and putting my things up for auction. I find myself at peace although I feel anxiety wanting to make it's home in me and on my body. So the last night of the month the Holy Spirit says ask for help on FB. I also spoke aloud in the night "Money cometh to me now. Not only for this month, but the next month and extra to take Glorien to the fair" (all 10 year old boys need to go to a local country fair with car demolition).

Now I have to admit to everyone, yet again, I need help as I don't have the provision myself. Satan wants to put feelings of vulnerability, shame, and humiliation on me that I don't have it, again. "Your stuff is going to be auctioned. God wants your stuff confiscated, accept that joyfully like in Hebrews 10" he says.

I share my need on FB and the first person to respond tells me my account has been hacked and offers no help. I replied, no, it's really me and I need help. Within hours my storage unit was paid for the month I was behind, this month, and some for the next month. Then I go and share my praise and I'm met with spending money to actually take my son to the fair!

I serve a compassionate, faithful and loving God who bestows favor and honor and no good thing does He withhold. I trust Him, praise Him and glorify Him for His provision for me through His people, believers and unbelievers alike. I am sooooo grateful to those who helped me, without asking questions, without looking on me in shame but with cheerful and open hearts saying how much? and what do I do?. God loves a cheerful giver and He used that cheerful giving of believers and unbelievers alike to provide for, flourish, and give victory to His daughter.

I've received your financial manifestation!!!! Glory to you Father!!!

I am a practicing Christian for 10 years, getting into the word daily and fellow shipping with other believers on a weekly basis. However, it wasn't until coming to Loves Way Fellowship and CBC San Jose that I really understood the meaning of Romans 8:1—2 Previously, I would make alter calls every Wed & Sun at church to confess my sins and beg for God's forgiveness out of guilt, fear, & condemnation. Although I was told that I was going to heaven because I accepted Christ as my savior, but I was not 100% sure of whether I was forgiven, or even loved by the Lord. Fellow ship with Loves Way Fellowship and CBC San Jose enlightened me to what Jesus has ALREADY done for me. I now understand how much the Lord loves me, and that he has already forgiven me for past / present / future sins, so that I may come freely, without guilt, to fellowship with the Father. Although I am a sinner by nature, but I understand that God views my born-again spirit the same as Christ's spirit. Now, I feel no condemnation to come to the Lord in fellowship, because I now understand who I am in Christ.

Romans 8:1-2King James Version (KJV)
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
