Testimony of Kassandra Lenn Stommel
I am not ashamed of what God has done in my life! Here is my testimony…
When I was just 12 years old I had horrible things happen to me in my childhood that literally changed me completely. As the Gothic lifestyle started to grow in my life, I used to get tattoos and piercings, wear lots of dark makeup and lots of jewelry. It was bad. I started to feel more and more addicted to this lifestyle. I dressed dark for years and years. I was always depressed and wanted to die. I was suicidal a lot of the time. I had no will to live. I tried a couple times, laid in bed a lot sleeping all day from my depression. It was awful!
I experienced so much bulling in school, especially high school. I listened to so much satanic music. It was so dark. I literally felt as though the devil had the biggest stronghold on me. Don’t think for a second that the devil can’t use the music you are listening to, especially the LYRICS! Pure EVIL behind dark demonic music. I used to wear pentagrams and hang out with the wrong people. I didn’t realize what I was missing.
I had a certain boyfriend who was completely abusive. At first, he was sweet and kind. He literally swept me off my feet, until I saw a complete darker side of him. He was beyond evil towards me. Before all the stuff happened to me, I moved out at 19 years old to live with him. I had no idea what was going to happen during those 4 years together. I was tortured emotionally and treated horribly. I took this person back twice until I realized he wasn’t being faithful to me. He got me pregnant with my daughter. She is the light of my life!
At that time, I wasn’t following Jesus yet. I was still in that pit of hell and I allowed so much that I didn’t deserve. I would go on and on with the pain I was experiencing, but the truth is that I didn’t know what love was until I fell in love with Jesus Christ!!! I’d been trying for so many years to figure out what my place in life really meant. I had always felt not wanted or loved. I guess you can say I’d been trying to fill the void that only Jesus was able to fill. Let me tell you, He showed me what REAL LOVE REALLY IS! Wow!
My heart started to melt completely for Jesus, but not overnight. I struggled for years and years. Depression, Anxiety, Loneliness, Heartbreak, Bitterness, etc. I was a backslider, too, in my walk with God. I went to one church for almost 10 years. I backslid from church for at least 3 years back to my old sad ways… until I came back to church. One month I went to that other church. The Lord Himself led me out!!! I came back to Lighthouse Church. I finally found my home church. I was so sure I was home because of what I feel at Lighthouse church! Wow! I mean The Holy Ghost is so strong I can’t even tell you!!! I was loved even when I was not following Jesus yet. I was a broken Empty Mess! GOD WAS WAITING FOR ME TO SURRENDER MY OLD LIFE COMPLETELY!!! You don’t know the hell I went through. I mean I was lost and broken and always in pain mentally. Jesus Saved my life. The cost of this oil was completely everything I was missing. I prayed and prayed and prayed for God to fill me with the Holy Ghost. It wasn’t immediately, but then He did at Ladies conference 2024! At First Church Pearland, Friday night Feb 23rd God Filled me with the Holy Ghost! I was HEALED from my depression!!! I was free in Jesus name! My tears were falling from the peace I was feeling from Jesus Christ. It was the most beautiful feeling I ever felt in my entire life! My best friend, Brielle Evelyn Bentine, witnessed me Receiving the Holy Ghost. Her prayers meant the world to me. I love her very much! She is the sister I never had! Donna Key Sidlo prayed me through! I love you very much. Thank you so much! I’ll never forget this.
I am thankful for knowing the truth. Even if I am treated differently for my decisions, I don’t care! I love Jesus Christ!!! I wear skirts and dresses. I do not wear pants because of my convictions, and also I stopped cutting my hair. I stopped all worldly TV, especially scary movies, and junk TV in general. I only watch Christian movies and listen to Christian music. I like some country, but not much because it’s considered bad, too, if you are not careful! God asked me and I was obedient to His commands!!
I am absolutely not perfect and I struggle, however, I stay close to God. I never wanna be without Him! I need Him Everyday Every Second Every Minute. He loved me first when I couldn’t love myself. You are not too lost for God to save you. Ask Him. He is waiting for you!!! I’m not ashamed of the Gospel!!! In fact, I am thankful God found me in the pit of hell I was in. A touch from Jesus is the best love you will ever ever feel. Trust me!!! One thing I’m going to say is that once Jesus opens your eyes you will see spiritually what was happening all along! Darkness has no fellowship with Light! We aren’t supposed to entertain darkness, especially demons. They aren’t welcome in the family of God. Don’t be deceived. Demons love newborn babies too!!! We must pray in the spirit!!! Call out to Jesus!!! Cry out to Him. He hears our cries!!! “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” (Ephesians 5:11 KJV)
I’m going to be the light even if it costs me everything!!! Jesus is worthy!!! Of Honor!!! And Praise!!! Glory!!! He is my Peace!!! Follow Jesus. He won’t leave you or forsake you. In fact, He will draw you to Him and Carry you into His Arms of Grace and Mercy!!! He is my Father and I will live for Him even if I am not liked, even if I am persecuted for following Jesus. I am not Ashamed of the Gospel!!!! He is coming for His church one day and I don’t ever wanna be without Jesus!!!! I Love You Lord!!!! You Died for me, so I will Carry my cross and Deny myself to Follow you!!! Obey Acts 2:38! Receive The Holy Ghost of fire!!! Be Baptized in Jesus name. He is the way!!! He is the truth!!! and the Life!!!!
