The co-founder and pastor of Flame of Fire Ministry, Pastor Natasha Shapoval, posted an inspiring video on her Instagram account. She is a mother of four children and the wife of Pastor Andrey Shapoval. Together, they lead an international organization that aims to take the gospel of the Kingdom of God to every corner of the earth. Her passion for Jesus drives her to share encouraging content on Instagram, including the testimony of her 10-year-old son.
Sadly, her son had severe anxiety attacks. There were moments when he felt like he couldn’t breathe, as if something was choking him. As a mother, she was worried and tried everything she knew, both physically and spiritually, to help him get rid of anxiety. However, his attacks would not stop.

The Living Word of God
Furthermore, she highlighted the one thing that greatly helped her son, and that was the living word of God. One night, her son was having another attack, but this time, he did something different. Instead of waking his mother, he started proclaiming the word of God. He declared 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Then, the next day, a miracle happened. “He told me that all anxiety left him as he continued proclaiming scripture over himself,” she emphasized. She firmly believed that there is power in the word of God.
Indeed, the Bible is filled with encouraging words that could potentially help those who are having anxiety attacks. It is written in Deuteronomy 31:6, “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
