“And  they  overcame  him  

 by  the  Blood  of  the  Lamb,  and  the  word  of  their  testimony…”  
 Revelation  12:11  

My name is Diana De La Rosa and I am I ask is that my parents get remarried.”

currently a Christian because God pulled me out
of the most horrible lifestyle anyone could live in.
As a child, my parents were night club owners in
Miami, FL. They made a lot of money and to the
world everything seemed to be going perfect in
their lives, but that couldn’t be more far from the
truth. During that time, although we seemed to be
the most prosperous family, in reality, at home,
my parents and siblings fought like cats and dogs.
There was no peace in my household because it
was divided. By the year 2002, my parents had to
sell the night club we owned and as a result of all
the money we lost and the terrible times we were
facing, my parents got a divorce. Coping with my
parents separation was difficult for me and
although I was a good student and generally a
good kid, I felt a lack of purpose, an emptiness
inside me that needed to be filled.
When I was 14 years old, on a Sunday
morning in the summer, I turned on my television
and started flipping through the channels when I
suddenly found myself watching the Trinity
Broadcasting Network, a Christian television
station. On the station, a Pastor by the name of
Dr. James Kennedy from Coral Ridge Ministries
was asking if anyone wanted to receive Jesus as
their personal Lord and Savior. At the time I only
knew God from what I had been told, but felt a
desperate need to get to know Him for myself. So
I prayed the sinner’s prayer as the Pastor recited it
and when I was through, I turned off the TV and
fell on my knees and said, “God if you are real, all
Instantly, I heard a voice say to me “Diana get
up!” There was no one in my house at the time
so I knew God was speaking to me and He
directed me to do the following: “Go to your
mother’s room and find the first wedding ring
your father gave her (my parents had been
together for about 32 years before they
separated and had had previous marriage
engagements).” When I found the ring, God
directed me to put on the finger that best fit,
and I placed on my left thumb. He, then, said,
“You will wear this ring until the day that your
parents get remarried, and when they do, give
the ring back as a sign that I am your God and
that I fulfilled this promise to you.”
As I served the Lord and continued to
get to know God it took 5 years before I saw
my miracle, but in 2008, my parents got
remarried and I was able to give the ring back
as a sign that God does answer the desires of
our hearts. Ever since, my parents and most of
my family have also come to the Lord and are
now currently serving God in different
ministries in my church back in Miami. In
conclusion, God saved my family from utter
destruction and saved me from complete
despair and just as He saved me and brought
me to His feet, he could do it with you.
