LETTERS TO ENCOURAGE
YOU - Page 4
Thank You for "listening, and obeying" God's Words
to You. That made You write Your book, with His help...
Not long ago, I was introduced to "Shattering Your
Strongholds", It is actually our - Lesson - in Bible Study class. It is a slow
process with our class, We began it in January, and we are only on the third
chapter.
For myself this was too long, I was in dire need to "set
myself free" as one of the chapters reads. So, I finished the book, not long after
having received it.
Only 2 weeks after having read the book, and applying the
"training wheel prayers" to my life, there was a GREAT BURDEN lifted from me.
"Hallelujah!!!" Praise GOD!
I began binding and loosing just about everyone and
everything I came into contact with. And continue to do so now. I find it was an instant
result, in 99.999% of the time...... Praise GOD again!!! For making it so simple for us!
My life totally changed when I accepted JESUS as my LORD and
SAVIOR. NOW, through these principles, it's turned around another 180 degrees. Many people
that have been prayed for, using these principles, their lives also have changed, though
they have no clue what is going on in their lives, nor the battle they are going through.
Through Your books, I felt as if GOD had You write them,
specifically for me. [Though I realize this is not the case, I do feel I was one of the
blessed persons, that Your books have benefited.] Every question that I had was answered.
Whether it was for my personal benefit, or regarding someone else, and a question they
had. All of the answers were there. I Thank God for You, and Your obedience, and
ability.
I related with many of Your encounters. And many tears were
shed throughout Your books, I think I cried most of the way. "Happy Tears".
Especially when your dad prayed to GOD and told HIM how he felt about You.
Your books were, very captivating. The scriptures were very
awesome, "Of course, it is the WORD OF GOD!" also the stories included about
Yourself, and Your incidences, were Very interesting, and much of the time, humorous.
Please know that this is a GREAT compliment, for me to even
read a book is a BIG deal. Prior to my becoming a CHRISTian, I DID NOT read. There
were many excuses for not doing so, the main being I didn't like it. Now You can't get my
face out of the BIBLE. Your books kept me at that edge, which makes me a believer
that the HOLY SPIRIT was also involved in Your writings....
Upon completion of all 3 books, the first Sunday back to
church, I mentioned how we All need to read through the books, as quickly as possible,
and apply what was within, to our lives. We could do the work together, on Bible Study
night, but read the book, Now, and then but the 2 other and do them Now!
At Bible Study the same week, I repeated myself. I Believe
these principles work, and I believe in the "Why" we must, for ourselves as well
as others. It's Awesome And so simple! I mentioned, even if they read the "training
wheel prayers" out loud, every day! This is how certain I am. Though telling everyone
these things, I feel that they heard me, BUT DID NOT LISTEN! which saddens me. So, all I
can do is continue to pray for them, that maybe someone will truly see what I have. And
leave the rest to GOD.
We don't have that big of a worship group, only about 20
total, it is a very new church. The people are all kind, and though I try always to look
at a person as how they "will be"when GOD is through with them, and not the
faults they have now, this little church is filled with LOTS of STRONG HOLDS. At times
I've wanted to seek another place of worship. But, I keep hearing GOD tell me to stay for
now. Maybe He wants through me, to get it through their hearts and minds, that Your books
are from Him and were given for a reason?! Sometimes it just seems we are running out of
time, ands that there is no time to lose.
You have inspired me, with Your books, ad the fact that had
You not listened to Our FATHER, and obeyed Him, my life, as well as the others we pray
for, might not have changed so fast, for the better, So for I am granted to You. It will
make me think twice about how very important it is to do the LORD's WILL, for Your own
life of course, but to also impact other's lives... Thank You for impacting mine.
Glory to God!
From M.F.
Dear Rev. Liberty, I just had to write you. I
bought your first book SYS in May 2000. What a trip! God did a quick work in me in the
very beginning. I now see that there were things that were a part of my life that needed
healing quickly! I started to use the prayers immediately after buying and reading the
book. Within 1 week I was crying and did not know why. The pain and the anger could no
longer be glossed over, and it had to come up and out because of the binding and loosing
prayers. I kept trying for days to push the pain and tears down, but they were being
stripped away, Praise His Name. There were things that took place in my life that I did
not even know about, and things I did know about that had caused me such pain that only
God's grace and mercy could heal them. Oh, Sister, if everyone could get hold of this
revelation that God's word is multi-faceted, we would all be made so whole in him. We
would truly be able to do his work in his full power. Love and peace In Christ Jesus to
you, Sister, keep up HIS GOOD WORK. I Know I just gave a testimony. So my question is: is
this person I have seem to have become (caring, peaceful, warm, happy, compassionate,
etc.) really me? Because if it is, I like her. To God be the Glory. T.G.
(Yes, T.G., that is the real you in Christ
who is coming out. Hallelujah!)
As I have studied your books, I have
practiced daily surrender of food in my life. It is going well and I am very grateful. So
much I didn't know about binding and loosing but most of all, I realized that my life has
been a long one of defending and protecting ME after childhood trauma. I still struggle
with holding God at arm's length because of being afraid of Him. Man, do I want that
stronghold torn down. I have wept as I have read your books (tough when you are on your
lunch hour!) because finally the things that occurred in my life were put into a concise
manner. I was raised to view God as vengeful and not intimately knowable. Thank you for
the sacrifice of your life to share this important revelation with the rest of us. I am
very grateful to you and thankful for your willingness to give yourself to this ministry
in order that others might experience true freedom in God. DM
I hardly know how to express the awesome
effect of your revelation of effective prayer that has impacted a small South Georgia
Church community. After attending an Aglow conference in Savannah, two of us brought this
revelation on effective prayer to our pastors and were given permission to facilitate a
Breaking The Power study. We ordered 25 books and workbooks and after the first session
the Holy Spirit grabbed ahold of us and the ladies began immediatly to pray using the
prayers in this book. One classmate gave one of the prayers to her nephew and this 15 year
old boy started praying for the unmet needs and hurts in his parents' lives. After 6 weeks
of classes and praying this way about many facets of our lives, a huge breakthrough
happened in our church. The boy's parents testified of many hurts that have now been
healed, and parents and children all over the congregation started reconciliations. We
have had 2 salvations! The Womens' Bible Study tonight
was in total awe of how mightily the
Lord is working in this type of effective prayer life! Now we want to bring this to others
in the congregation. Pray for us.
From DV, Canada: Thank you so much for your
teachings. A friend at church loaned me your first book and was very excited about it. Now
I am excited and several others in our church are excited.
I am in the process of ordering 20 to 30
copies of your work book to do in our cell group which will be starting up again on Sept.
13.
My friend and myself are counsellors and I
have been feeling for quite awhile now that there had to be something more to it and I
believe this is more than part of the answer. We have to be much more involved in our own
healing process than we have been and since binding my will to His and praying for others
(I have read all three books now) I have seen wonderful changes, not only in my own life
but in the lives of others. I praise God for your obedience and sharing it with us.
I have always loved the fact that Mary said
"be it unto me according to your will" and for God's will to be done on earth.
This narrows it down much more - into our own and loved one's daily lives.
Thank you again.
Dear Rev. Savard: Just wanted to share with
you that the Lord is showing me things I've never seen before! I am sincerely coming
before Him asking His direction, help and insight. I stand amazed! I am only in the third
chapter of the book/workbook because I am praying over everything and searching my own
heart and life. I am so relieved to know that I am in charge of my mess and not satan. Now
there is real hope. With His help, I can change!
Your Friend and His sheep,
Brenda
I e-mailed you yesterday asking prayer as I begin working
Shattering Your Strongholds Workbook. I am excited and want to share a new revelation with
you. AS I finished chapter one of the workbook and book I was thinking that I had not
received any revelation, until I got to the chapter review on page 9. The question is:
"I applied these truths as follows:" Rev. Savard, as I answered, making my list,
I realized that each answer began with "I." Then the revelation came. Had I
answered any of the questions with Satan, God, my pastor, people, etc., then I would have
to go back and read again. The responsibility fell on me alone! So,
Rev. Savard, my
revelation from the Lord is simply, "I am the one responsible." You see, I
always, until now, thought it was God's job to do the work in my life, or my pastor's,
Carolyn Driver's, or Christian friends. Never until now did I really realize that it was
solely my responsibility. I am excited about this! This brought to me much freedom. Thank
you for writing a book which will help us see the Truth.
Brenda
Thank you for your time in answering my note
to you. I have been praying the prayer on Pg. 30 of Breaking the Power for about 16 days
now (you advised me to pray it for 30 days or until breakthrough whichever came first). I
have experienced some real discouragement and dissatisfaction for no apparent reason. So,
I've returned to read the prayer more than once a day. I really don't have a quiet place
and I've been "reading with focus and commitment (as you advised)," but not
aloud as you said I should. But I will commit to read it aloud. I've also been praying
(reading with focus) several of the training wheel prayers in the 3 books every day. One
thing I've been pleased and surprised about--I haven't slept well for several years, and
contributed it to age. Since what commitments I have don't last very many days in a row, I
would just "catch" up on my sleep later. NOW, I'm sleeping through the night!
That had not really been a concern of mine, but I guess my unsurendered soul was
"working" during the night. I've certainly been enjoying this and am excited to
see what else God will do, when He is given a chance. I can hardly wait.

Bless you (Liberty) and everyone in the Liberty Savard
Ministries for boldly proclaiming the Truth, like I've never heard it before and always
needed to! Yes, Truth is difficult for our souls to "swallow" or
"digest" ; however we still need to eat of it. Thank you, Thank you! My marriage
has been gloriously restored and snatched back from the brink of death. Without the
prayers in your books it wouldn't have happened. Now we can focus on what matters, our
purpose!
Love, Rebecca
Dear Minister Liberty, First, I would like to
thank you for BOLDLY presenting the word of GOD!!
What I am actually emailing you about is not
a question but more so a comment on the issue "forgiveness" that you and a
couple of people continued to go back-and -foward on. I am a "newborn" in my
Christian walk but I can clearly see what you are saying. I think the whole issue is
basically a context issue. Given that, (in the senario given) the Christian knows about
his/her "unforgiving sin," I don't see how these people don't see the
ramifications of this matter. As you clearly pointed out with several Scriptures the
importance of forgiving. I think the issue is being taken out of context, but it is still
mind boggling to me how someone can knowingly be unforgiving when it clearly states in the
WORD how we are to FORGIVE (otherwise, this is disobedience). Also, to add one more thing,
we are held accountable for that which we know--it is one thing not to know but once we
know, we have to seek to take care of it (in this case forgiveness).

I was just reading your book "Breaking the Power."
I alternated between crying and laughing as I read about my own life. You obviously speak
from your heart. Something came to my mind as I read about the "Johnny-Be-Good"
and "Johnny-Be-Bad" Syndrome. I am a literature teacher and my eleventh grade
class had just finished "Wuthering Heights." Many of the boys were confused and
angry about Catherine's feelings of intense love and loyalty to Heathcliff, who was truly
a jerk to everyone around him. I made the statement that it seemed to me that we women
liked someone who treated everyone badly except us. The girls agreed with the statement
and the boys rolled their eyes. I admitted that I had no explanation for this behavior,
but had observed it many times.
After reading that section of your book, it became quite
clear to me. We search for someone to make us feel special, and if we find someone who
treats everyone well, we have no way to discern some special thing about ourselves. I saw
myself in this clearly, and I began to think about how intensely jealous I have always
been. It is the same thing! A mate that flirts or sleeps with others seriously damages our
illusions (or delusions) of being so special that he would, having once experienced us,
never give anyone else a glance. If, after being with us, he still finds himself attracted
to others, we are forced to come face to face with the realization that we do not possess
some magical power over him.
So, we try harder to be his fantasy woman. We compromise our
own feelings and beliefs and become something that we are not. The resulting anxiety is
incredible. We are in constant internal conflict between wanting someone to accept us and
love us for what we really are and knowing that, if we persevere in being true to
ourselves, we will be exposed to the world as being flawed. After all, if we were truly so
special, he would not be looking at someone else. Obviously, when cheating occurs, trust,
which is vital to a relationship, is destroyed.
Your insights have helped me to understand that my fierce
jealousy is about my own insecurities and explains why many women stay in these
destructive relationships. It becomes a contest of sorts to prove that we can ultimately
win his undying devotion if we just try harder. I have just ended a relationship of this
kind and I bought your book to occupy my time, but it ended up being a true revelation.
God is so good!!!
Hi Liberty, I just wanted to let you know
that since praying according to your book "Shattering Strongholds," my husband
and I have seen four people we have prayed for get jobs and a Muslim woman here saved.
Praise God!!! WE have been praying the binding and loosing prayers over ourselves and
various others every day for only four weeks.
One man who has been looking for a permanent
position for almost 18 months was offered a job even without an interview. Another friend
in London who is an opera singer and has been struggling for a long time was offered 3
jobs in Italy for next year, 1 in Japan, and 2 in London. Our daughter, who has learning
difficulties and has never been able to work started a part time job this week. We have
been praying the binding and loosing prayer over her sometimes twice ot three times per
day, e.g. binding her mind to the mind of Christ, binding her damaged brain cells to the
blood of Jesus, she was able to overcome previous fears and difficulties. Our son is the
fourth person to start work after 7 months. He has begun his own business in Australia and
received his first contract last week!!! Praise the Lord!
The story concerning the Muslim woman is so
encouraging. The little church we attend near us has been reaching out to the muslims in
the town. Last Saturday we were all going to another city in France to meet up with a
group of Arabic speaking Christians there and to take a Muslim woman from our town. They
are very afraid and we thought that if she fellowshipped with other converts from Islam in
another town where she didn't know anyone she would be more comfortable. Anyway, in the
morning the Lord told me to stay at home. So, my husband went off on his own to meet up
with the others.
The Muslim lady arrived with her daughter but
refused to go on to the church as her husband hadn't given her permission so she was
driven home again. A woman in our church who is North African and Jewish went inside to
try to persuade the woman's husband to let his wife go to the meeting. He became very,
very hostile towards her and she became afraid, when all of a sudden he changed before her
very eyes! He began to talk to her about his life and even said that he was open to
hearing about Jesus!!! Then without any further ado he said that his wife and daughter
could go with the others to the meeting!!!
At the meeting the Muslim woman gave her life
to the Lord. She was so impacted by the Holy Spirit apparently that she could hardly stand
up. At the time our friend was talking to the Muslim husband, the Lord prompted me (at
home) to begin to pray and I promptly bound everyone involved in the whole process to
God's will, plan and purposes etc. and loosed everything that would prevent the Lord's
best, and the Lord's will being met, etc. Our friend testified in church the next day that
it was like she had been talking to two different people and she knew that someone was
praying.
I know that your book has changed the prayer
life of myself and my husband and we are beginning to experience changes in our own life,
too, e.g. for the past two nights I have had no hot flashes from Menopause. I bound my
hormones to the blood of Jesus!!! IN JESUS NAME!!! Love and God bless you, D., Paris,
France
