For over 30 years, he has built a successful career in metallurgy, consulting for major players across the globe in the energy, automotive, and aerospace industries. But behind the professional achievements was a man battling deep spiritual unrest.<\/p><p>In 2006, his life was shaken by a terrifying season of demonic oppression, physical manifestations, tormenting voices, and an overwhelming sense of darkness consumed his home and his sanity. Financial crisis, personal loss, and thoughts of suicide followed. Desperate for answers, he opened his Bible for the first time in years. In July 2007, he heard the audible voice of the Holy Spirit, fell to his knees, and surrendered fully to Jesus Christ. That moment marked the beginning of a radical transformation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d877730 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile wd-section-stretch-content elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d877730\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;wd_sweet_wave&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg width=\"100%\" height=\"50px\" viewBox=\"0 0 1920 80\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"wd-divider\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M1920,60s-169.5,20-510,20S850.5,20,510,20,0,60,0,60V0H1920Z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b49fd40\" data-id=\"b49fd40\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43aaaaa elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-absolute elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"43aaaaa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/testv80.demowebsitelinks.com\/Mark-Wood\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pngwing.com-18.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec66552 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"ec66552\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:&quot;200&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>As he anointed his home in the name of Yehshua, the torment ceased, and an angelic encounter confirmed the spiritual battle he had endured. Though freed for a time, new trials would come, including a cancer diagnosis in 2017 that reminded him of his mortality. But even through sickness, he began to see the hand of God in unexpected places, including Hurricane Harvey, whose prophetic parallels sparked a deep hunger for biblical truth.<\/p><p>His search led him to the teachings of the late Dr. Chuck Missler, whose insights into Scripture unlocked a deeper understanding of God\u2019s Word and the unfolding end-time plan. From childhood memories in a small Texas church to spiritual warfare, loss, redemption, and restoration, his story is a vivid testimony of God\u2019s mercy and pursuit of the lost.<\/p><p>Today, he writes to awaken others to the reality of spiritual warfare, the beauty of the Bride\u2019s calling, and the urgency of preparing for the return of the Bridegroom. His journey is not just personal; it\u2019s a reflection of the path many must walk to discover that Yehshua was with them all along.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About The Author Meet Mark Wood Raised in the church by a loving family, the author spent much of his<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-4400","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv80.demowebsitelinks.com\/Mark-Wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv80.demowebsitelinks.com\/Mark-Wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv80.demowebsitelinks.com\/Mark-Wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testv80.demowebsitelinks.com\/Mark-Wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testv80.demowebsitelinks.com\/Mark-Wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4400"}],"version-history":[{"count":68,"href":"https:\/\/testv80.demowebsitelinks.com\/Mark-Wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4400\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9877,"href":"https:\/\/testv80.demowebsitelinks.com\/Mark-Wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4400\/revisions\/9877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testv80.demowebsitelinks.com\/Mark-Wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
