Meet 
JASMINE CATES

Lost, living under the spirit of depression in darkness. Overweight with health issues. I felt all alone. One night my life was changed forever when I was robbed at gunpoint. Not only because the event itself was recalibrating both hemispheres of my brain, but because I cried out to God. He was gracious enough to walk me through getting clean enough to feel his presence face to face.

​

The trauma was so overwhelming, I could do nothing but call on him. He healed me of my ongoing issue of blood, which lasted over 2 years. I was over 500lb and I had constant negative thought and unforgiveness that was eating me alive.

 

Then one day in April of 2017, I was in bed wrestling with him until I finally surrendered. What happened next is something I couldn’t stop thinking of ever since. His presence. Yes I’ve been battling with principalities in high places (dark and unseen), but God never took his hand off of me.

​

I became a new person, I didn’t recognize myself anymore. My thinking, my eating habits—everything changed. One thing is, the past kept trying to drag me back, to old ways that kept me in darkness. Now all I want to do is help others, through the power of Christ, to be the best they can be—just as the Lord told me to do.
