Celestial Moya recently shared how God intervened when she gave permission to the devil to help her. She has not been the same since then.

How God Didn’t Give Up

After accepting Jesus in her life, Celestial Moya still struggled with her Christian walk.

She came to a place where, a year later, she stopped feeling God’s presence. She thought God was leaving her.

“I thought that God abandoned me like everybody else in my life. I tried to hang on for a little bit but I started to get resentful. And I started to feel like “this is too good to be true, this is my life.” I gave up on following God,” she said.

She went back to the party lifestyle that always led to emptiness.

“The good times were good only when you were doing it but afterwards, everything that you’re feeling just settles right back on you,” she said.

Having experienced God’s goodness in her life, Celestial experienced God’s love firsthand.

God’s Conviction

So, she continued to seek God even though it wasn’t consistent.

“The second time that I started pursuing God again, this guy came into my life. I had never been in a relationship. I’ve always wanted to, I always wanted to be in a relationship, I always wanted love, like that was my dream. It was like any form of love like I want,” she said.

When she started receiving attention from this man, she remembered having a conviction from God to not pursue the relationship.

But she didn’t listen. In the end, the man broke her heart.

“I just remember being so angry with God. “Why can’t I have nothing good in my life? Why do you hate me?” And I remember I was looking in the mirror and I remember saying, “If you don’t help me, well then, I give permission to the devil to help me,” she said.

How She Gave Permission To The Devil But God Intervened

“Immediately I felt so much fear come over me and I took it back in a second,” she said.

She started partying again but also felt convicted.

“I would just start telling my friends, “We shouldn’t be living this way. There’s so much more to life.” They hated to take me out, they were like, “Why do we bring her out? Because every time she goes out, she starts preaching?” To the point where people would be like, “You’re the girl that talks about Jesus,” Celest recalled.

She was longing for Jesus but her soul was broken, fractured, and it didn’t know how to fully find Jesus.

Celestial talked to God one night: “I looked up and I was like, “Leave me alone. When I want to follow You, I will follow You. Leave me alone.”

God didn’t leave her.

“I’m so thankful that He didn’t. God was so relenting in his pursuit over my life. What I need is in Jesus, and knowing that everything that I’m doing will never satisfy me. I always knew that following Jesus meant giving up your way,” she said.

Celestial Moya recently shared how God freed her from her past. But because of her experiences, she thought her efforts weren’t enough for God. That’s how ministry became her identity.

When Ministry Became Her Identity

Celestial Moya had a rough start in life. She experienced many terrible things that made her feel bad about herself.

“I got delivered. I was set free from a lot of things. In my younger years, I got abused sexually, and so that opened the door to a lot of perverted thoughts, mindsets, dreams that I had no control of,” Celestial said.

When she was set free, she became so on fire for God. And so, she wanted to help others, too.

“These things I’ve been dealing with for years I didn’t have to deal with now. I was like, “Then why are other people dealing with this?”

How Ministry Became Her Identity

“So I started to step into ministry with Jesus. I started praying for people and I would see them be delivered, I would see them be healed, and it was so amazing,” she said.

It was such an exciting time with God and it started out so pure, but without realizing it, it became tainted because she was still wounded from her childhood.

“I let ministry become my identity, I let the things that I do for God define who I was. I was not doing from love but I was doing for love,” she said.

But God spoke to her.

She remembered Him saying, “You’re doing all these things for Me but you’re forgetting about me.”

God’s Unconditional Love

Though she experienced Jesus, Celestial said she didn’t fully know Him. She admitted that she allowed other people’s words to define her.

But slowly and surely, she understood who she is and who God is the moment she started reading the Bible with her whole heart.

“I just remember God saying so clearly. He’s like, “I don’t ask you to read so that I could love you more. I asked you to read so that you could understand My love for you,” Celestial recalled.

She then shared a revelation from God that ultimately grounded and rooted her as His follower.

“I remember Him just telling me, “I didn’t come for the drunk Celest. I came for the little girl who believed the lie that she wasn’t enough.”

God’s Validation

“There were these little moments that God would have with me where He would just reveal just these aspects of His heart that blew me away. Because the way I love God today is because of the way that He’s loved me. And the way I love other people is out of an overflow of His love for me.”

“I didn’t realize how deep and how unconditional and how great it is. His love is healing. The reason why I could talk today about my testimony without tears is because God has fully restored me in His love. Because I realized that if Jesus loves you, that’s all you need. Jesus’s validation is enough,” she concluded.
