FREED FROM SATAN

A Testimony of Deliverance, Healing, and Redemption

My name is Adrian. I was born in 1999 and I was born again in 2024 and I am the founder of Steadfast Health & Nutrition.

My testimony.

⸻

A CHILDHOOD OF TRIALS

As a young boy, I was marked to be a victim of my environment. Satan saw me as a threat, like I am today, because I always had a heart for the Lord.

Growing up, I experienced poverty. I lived in shelters, lived with many different family members, and my parents were absent. I had everything against me, but through it all, I always had the Lord with me.

I always thanked the Lord for my life, for my meals, and for providing me with a place to live as a young boy.

I was thankful to the Lord for everything He supplied me with.

⸻

THE BATTLES NO ONE COULD SEE

Rejection, Bondage, and Identity

As I grew older, Satan attacked my mind, and then my identity. I began facing struggles that went beyond financial hardship.

For years, I battled pornography, rejection, and a lack of understanding about who I truly was.

I found myself caught in a continuous cycle of worldly desires, searching for something that could fill the emptiness within me.

I had a heart for God, yet I struggled to surrender the very things that were keeping me in bondage.

1 JOHN 2:15–17 (NIV)

15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.

16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

When our hearts are not rooted in love for the Father, we begin searching for fulfillment in things that were never meant to satisfy us.

For so long, I had been searching for love, acceptance, and identity through worldly desires.

But the things of this world could never provide what I was truly searching for.

⸻

MARRIAGE AND RESPONSIBILITY

2020

In 2020, I married my wife. I truly believe the Lord placed her in my life, and I am grateful to have her by my side.

However, becoming a husband didn’t automatically resolve the struggles I had been facing.

For years, I continued battling pornography, rejection, and the struggles that had followed me into my marriage. These were battles I had carried long before becoming a husband, and they continued to affect my life.

I was being run in circles by demons. They took me on a roller coaster, tearing me apart inside and out. The torment was suffocating. It consumed my spirit and swallowed me whole. Even at night, when I desperately needed rest, I found no peace—only fear, distress, and torment. For a year, I experienced sleep paralysis. I felt trapped in a never-ending cycle, desperately wanting freedom but continually finding myself right back where I started. I listened to the lies in my head telling me I was no good, continually drawing me back into pornography.

I had never been in a darker place in my entire life than I was at that moment. I felt completely empty inside.

Because I was so heavily rejected, pornography had became a comfort zone for me, because I did not believe that I had the love of the father, and there was something else that loved me more. That was a lie that I believed. Every time I turned to it, I was left feeling even emptier than before.

EPHESIANS 6:12 (NIV)

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

It wasn’t until 2023 that I began to truly seek the Lord and confront the things that had kept me in bondage.

I wanted to become a better husband, a man of stronger character, and someone who could lead his family according to the Word of God.

That desire would become an important part of the journey ahead.

2023–2024 — DELIVERANCE AND BREAKTHROUGH

When the Lord Opened My Eyes

In 2023, I discovered Arizona Deliverance Center, where I received godly counsel and spiritual healing.

But it wasn’t until 2024, when my wife and I attended a revival at Arizona Deliverance Center, that I experienced a spiritual breakthrough that changed the trajectory of my life.

Through deliverance, I experienced healing, freedom from rejection, and a renewed understanding of my identity in Christ. Satan had no choice but to let go because I let go.

It was during this revival that I experienced what I can only describe as a spiritual blindfold being removed.

⸻

A NEW HEART — LEARNING TO LOVE

After the revival, a brother approached me and asked, “Hey, did you get that witchcraft out?”

He asked me this out of love. He genuinely wanted to know whether I had received freedom, whether I had gone to war against what had kept me in bondage, and whether I had cast it out.

He wasn’t pointing out something that was still wrong with me. He was concerned about my freedom.

His question stayed with me.

As I reflected on that moment, I began examining my own heart and how I had treated the people closest to me.

For the first time, I began to experience what my wife and father had gone through throughout their lives.

I finally understood what it felt like to have your healing and progress overlooked while the focus remained on what was still wrong.

But through that experience, something much greater was revealed to me.

I had been doing the very same thing to my own wife and father.

Instead of recognizing the healing they had experienced and the progress they had made, I often focused on what they still had left to overcome.

As I reflected on the lack of love I had felt from others throughout my life, I began recognizing the lack of love I had shown toward my own wife and father.

I had spent so much of my life wanting to be loved, accepted, and understood. But I needed to learn how to give that same love to others.

1 CORINTHIANS 13:2 (NIV)

“If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.”

I was nitpicking.

It was then that the Scripture in 1 Kings, where Solomon asked the Lord for a discerning heart rather than wealth, dawned on me.

1 KINGS 3:9–12 (NIV)

9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this.

11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice,

12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be.

I prayed for the same thing. I asked the Lord to give me a discerning heart, just as Solomon had asked Him.

I cried for days. Those tears were part of my healing. Through them, I began to understand the pain I had caused my wife and my father, and how my own actions had made them feel.

And that is where I believe the Lord gave me a new heart.

EZEKIEL 36:26 (NIV)

26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

ACTS 9:17–18 (NIV)

17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,

Although my experience was different from Saul’s, this passage resonates deeply with my testimony.

It was as though scales had fallen from my own eyes, allowing me to recognize things I had never truly seen before.

The Lord gave me a new heart, a new spirit, a new mind, and removed the blindfold off of me, allowing me to operate in love and kindness, turning me into a man of encouragement.

In 2024, my wife and I were baptized, and together we became born again.

2024 — THE VISION WAS BORN AGAIN

A Brand With a Greater Purpose

Following my spiritual breakthrough at Arizona Deliverance Center, I began seeing the world differently.

I often found myself wanting to dwell in the presence of the Lord, not just in prayer or worship, but in everything I did.

As I walked through stores and looked at the brands and products surrounding me, I began to notice something. I struggled to find businesses that openly represented the Lord, even through the work they had created.

I wanted to build something that reflected my love for the Lord, where my faith wasn’t separate from my work, but was the very foundation of it.

COLOSSIANS 3:17 (NIV)

17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I want the Lord to be the center of everything I do, including the work of my hands.

Before my breakthrough, I had only caught glimpses of the vision for Steadfast Health & Nutrition. The vision had been hindered, and it wasn’t until the spiritual blindfold had completely come off that the Lord allowed me to see it clearly.

That’s when the vision for Steadfast Health & Nutrition was born again.

A business and ministry centered around faith, health, nutrition, and, above all, glorifying God through the work of our hands.

WHY STEADFAST?

Suffering. Perseverance. Character. Hope.

1 PETER 4:1 (NIV)

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.

The name Steadfast carries a meaning that is deeply personal to me.

Strong’s Greek 5281 (hypomonē) conveys steadfast endurance that clings to God in the face of pressure. More than passive waiting, it is active, faith-filled perseverance that refuses to abandon obedience or hope. While English versions alternately render the term “endurance,” “perseverance,” or “patience,” its essence is a Spirit-empowered tenacity that remains under trial until God’s purpose is fulfilled.

Likewise, Christ “remained under” His trial, and He “endured” until the very end.

JAMES 1:2–4 (NIV)

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Christ is the perfect example of perseverance. He endured suffering until the very end, never turning away from the will of the Father. His endurance was complete, and He lacked nothing. Through His example, we are reminded of what it truly means to remain steadfast, allowing perseverance to finish its work in us.

ROMANS 5:3–4 (NIV)

3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.

When I reflect on these scriptures, I think about my childhood, the rejection I experienced, and the years I spent searching for my identity.

I think about the healing and breakthrough I experienced through Jesus Christ.

And I recognize how those experiences have shaped my understanding of perseverance.

Steadfast is not about living a life without trials. It’s about enduring through them, allowing perseverance to finish its work, and remaining unshaken until the very end.

It’s about allowing God to strengthen our character, develop our perseverance, and remind us of the hope we have in Him.

This is the foundation upon which our company stands.

MORE THAN A BUSINESS

Our Mission and Vision

Today, my wife and I are blessed with two children, and together we are working toward establishing Steadfast Health & Nutrition as a full-time business and ministry.

Our faith is the foundation. Our perseverance is the commitment. And our purpose is to glorify God.

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

A Message From My Family to Yours

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from my story, it’s this:

Your past does not have to define your future.

I grew up with very little.

I battled rejection, worldly desires, and uncertainty about my identity.

But through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ, I experienced healing, deliverance, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Today, I am a husband, a father, and a man of faith who is committed to building something meaningful for my family and for the glory of God.

I’m sharing my story because I know what it’s like to struggle, and I want others to know that there is hope in Christ.

If my testimony can encourage even one person to seek the Lord, persevere through hardship, or recognize that their past does not define them, then sharing it has served a purpose.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about the journey behind Steadfast Health & Nutrition.

This is more than a brand. It’s a testimony of faith, perseverance, healing, and redemption.

And by the grace of God, we will remain steadfast.

Today I am full, and satisfied because the Lord gave me everything I need.

With gratitude,

Adrian J. Godinez

Founder, Steadfast Health & Nutrition
