I was emotional I was sick and just
literally just crazy just so full of
toxicity and so I’m extremely weak
I’m not urinating anymore everything
gets processed through your kidneys when
your kidneys aren’t working nothing’s
happening
how was hard I was hard to watch my wife
go through that because there were times
where she couldn’t just a spoonful of
food she would throw that up and I was
just literally watching my wife just
wither away whereas most couples spend
their first year getting used to living
together the Hudsons first year was
spent dealing with Raquel’s autoimmune
disease known as lupus as the years
would go by lupus would turn into kidney
failure which in turn would become a
failing heart this is the story of how
one young couple renewed their mind in
the word through Andrews teachings and
stood against every attack of the enemy
this is the healing journey of Raquel
Hudson so they put me on hemodialysis it
was because my kidneys were shutting
down what it essentially was for me and
what it looked like for me was that all
these markings here are where they would
stick me with the needles they would
pluck me with the needles and they’d
stick a needle in here and this would
take the blood out of my body and go
through the machine the machine would
clean it and would come back in through
here but this was my life for six seven
years man we didn’t know just what we
were about to we’re about the internship
after trying a cleanse to rid her body
of toxins
Raquel broke out in lesions across her
entire face wanting to help his wife
remember her identity in Christ Herman
covered up and posted scriptures on all
the mirrors in their house when you’re
going through something like that it is
really about yourself it’s about you
it’s traumatic for you and to have a
husband who’s going to come alongside
and say
I see you as God sees you and you’re
gonna have to see you as God sees you my
wife is beautiful on the inside and on
the outside and while she was going
through all these different physical
changes you know the devil was busy it
was when he would go to work a lot of
times that I would find myself
incapacitated couldn’t move just kind of
on the couch and I would begin to
reflect and there were times that yes I
did in fact think to myself is he gonna
leave me I could be at Chipotle or any
sandwich place or something and and I’m
just sitting down having a sandwich and
I see a young lady eating a sandwich and
the thought would just run by my mind
like man wouldn’t it be nice to be with
her she can eat a sandwich but I knew
enough to know that life is going to be
one up here and I knew that I could not
afford to allow one thought to go
unanswered every time I heard just that
temptation crossed my mind or that
thought go through my mind I spoke he
who finds a wife finds a good thing and
obtains favor from the Lord and I spoke
out a thousand times I don’t know how
many times I said and you know what it
preserved me of course this wasn’t their
only issue because Raquel’s immune
system was so weak her body couldn’t
fight off infection and she ended up
with one of the worst cases of shingles
doctors had ever seen as well as a cold
sore that took over her entire mouth
Raquelle also began to have hip trouble
a side effect from years of steroids
eating away at her bones this would only
lead to more problems as Raquel’s heart
began to fail even if she you know
wanted to get a hip replacement she
couldn’t because her heart wasn’t strong
enough if there was a kidney transplant
and she couldn’t because her heart
wasn’t strong enough so now the doctors
are talking about my 30 year old wife
having a heart transplant here we are
still not having answers still not
knowing what to do still believing that
you
the doctors are trying to help but
they’re failing miserably and we just
didn’t know what to do either
welcome to gospel truth with Andrew
Wommack a teaching ministry that Herman
had started watching Andrew Wommack and
what happened was my dad has started
taking notice of him and listening to
him he told my mother my mother told me
and I told her man Harman wasn’t all
that thrilled about listening to Andrew
in the very beginning I thought Andrew
was like a Mormon or something like that
I was like he he doesn’t have anything
that I need to listen to and you know
it’s so funny looking back at that
moment because I had no idea that my
answers were coming out of his guys
instead of begging God to please do
something you would say thank you Father
that you’ve done it and now Satan I
command you to get off my body to get
off my finances to get off my
relationships and you would start
releasing this power and I remember the
first time watching his show and I
couldn’t stop I mean I went online and I
was just watching program after program
it was like all these little things
these little questions it just seemed
like all the dots were being connected
while I was online I was watching
actually some of the healing journey
videos and there was one that really
stood out and it was about Nicky oginski
and man to see what she was going
through
[Music]
some of those things were exactly what
my wife was going and I was like if she
can do it we can do it we didn’t realize
it but things were shifting in our lives
we may not have seen it just from any
kind of manifestation in her physical
body but the [ __ ] turn wanting to get
his wife into an environment of faith
Herman and Raquel made the move to
Colorado where they began classes at
Karis Bible College who know what Andrew
talks about effortless changed the word
was effortlessly changing our situation
but it was a journey everything didn’t
quite work out cookie-cutter like you
would like to think when you when you
follow what the Lord is telling you to
do but we knew we were receiving life
but at the end of that semester we just
couldn’t do it she was back and forth to
the hospital even while we were in
school and we just had to stop we had to
take a break but we never took a break
from the revelation that God had already
paid the price for her healing we stayed
close to the life we stayed close to the
truth and even though we weren’t in
school or anything
we were always plugged in in some
capacity people ask me sometimes you
know what was it just this moment was it
just this miraculous you know what was
the moment that everything changed well
you know what for us it was an
effortless change just because you begin
to start hearing something it’s not like
necessarily everything has been uprooted
or has been changed in your thinking
during this process of renewing her mind
Raquel visited a cardiologist who
explained that her heart was failing due
to her not eating for years ready to put
action to her faith Raquel stood on the
teachings of you’ve already got it and
began acting as though she was already
healed and I just decided I just said
Lord in Jesus name I’m gonna eat now
that my wife hasn’t had anything really
to eat in eight nine years but she
started consistently eating for three
straight months I went back to see the
doctor three months later
he was astounded he runs his tests and
her heart is healed her heart is normal
and he said what happened and I said God
healed my heart and he said well I
cannot disagree with you because what I
gave you I know I didn’t have anything
to do with it what I gave you did not
accomplish this result
Raquel’s heart was healed and after
years of dialysis treatments she was now
ready to receive her new kidney and had
one of the most successful transplants
doctors had ever seen today Raquel is
completely healed and together they
share their testimony as young adult
pastors of cara’s Christian Center where
they teach young people how to
effectively stand against the attacks of
the enemy we were under attack and
there’s so many relationships that would
have fizzled out and burned a long time
ago and here here we were in the midst
of this thing still growing in love with
each other we’re able to touch others
we’re able to be an example to others
we’re able to let our light shine all
because of what we learned here at the
Karis Bible College what started out as
a desperate journey to find hope had its
finish as both Herman and Raquel
graduated Kara’s Bible College together
with the class of 2017
it means so much to me to see my
daughter graduate today she’s been
through so much but God has brought her
through that’s why she seems every
praising to our diet and years ago the
doctors told us that she would not live
through the night but God but God in His
Word
so where we going from now we’re just
holding on just with anticipation to see
what he’s gonna do next
getting a revelation of these
foundational truths affects every area
of your life it’s not just one
particular thing and every area in our
life has been turning right-side up
I don’t even recall those moments when
we were up late at night in and crying
and carrying her to the bed and from her
health to our finances I mean every
aspect of our lives has been nothing but
phenomenal since we came out here and
sat under these revelations that Andrews
been talking about since the 70s as
partners with Andrew Wommack ministries
you are a part of transforming lives
like Raquel’s through the free teachings
you make available it is because of your
partnership that Raquel is living her
life strong and more free than ever
before I’m really alive because of your
partnership because of you coming
alongside Andrew and helping him to get
this message of the gospel of grace out
all I can say is thank you so I mean you
saved our lives we don’t have to strive
and strain to get something to produce
the word is the incorruptible seed and
the thing is it can’t fail so if you
just plant that word in your heart it’s
gonna grow he’s already done
[Music]
