One funny thing about Ocala: the most intense traffic jams which form in that city are on Sunday mornings between 9 and 10 am as people head off to church; and then again after noon as people go back home!

Folks, if you haven't visited this church, I strongly encourage you to do so. When I walked in, everyone was so welcoming. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit just inside the doors. It quickly became evident that this place IS indeed a Holy Ghost and Fire church for sure. The teaching is scripturally TRUE and ACCURATE. I have been following the teachings online since I visited a year ago. I have found no evidence of false doctrine whatsoever. God's hand is on these leaders and this congregation. The night I attended, God used Pastor Jacinta to deliver a prophetic message to me. He gave it to her in the morning and told her she would know me when she saw me that evening. He had likewise told me He had a message for me that night. The devil tried to keep me away, but I had committed to God that I would go and stood by my Word. I really didn't expect God to speak through anyone to me that night. I convinced myself that was all in my head ... wishful thinking. He is The Creator of the Universe ... He isn't going to stop what He's doing to speak to me. Right? WRONG!! If you share that misconception, get it out of your thoughts right now. That's a lie from the enemy who is the father of lies. He doesn't want us to have a close and intimate relationship with the Heavenly Father. That's the only way he can keep us from our blessing. But, I digress. Less preaching ... more testimony. Right? Anyway, during the service I could feel the Glory Cloud enter the room. We were worshipping and praising God ... He responds to that. His presence overwhelmed me. Pastor Jacinta approached me during the service and delivered the message God had for me. God, through Pastor Jacinta, answered things I had been questioning and praying about. Things she had no knowledge of .. we didn't know each other at all. I went up to the altar near the end of the service and was again overcome by the presence of God. I had walked in the door that evening in so much pain that I could hardly walk, sit or even stand. I had suffered a broken back a few years ago and have cement between L4/L5 vertebrae. I was constantly in pain and daily tasks were almost impossible. That night at the altar, God touched me. I fell under the power of the Holy Spirit. When I was ready to get up I thought, "Oh my, I can even get up out of a seated position. How am I going to get off of the floor?" Two words, folks.... BUT GOD ... God healed my back (even the crack that started forming in my cervical spine). I got up off of that floor like my back was stronger than it ever was. The enemy tried to bring on the pain a few times since. But I kept pleading the Blood of Jesus and reminding the devil that God already healed me ... even long before I stepped into Destiny Church of Ocala. I just had to receive it so it could manifest. So, if you want honest, Bible-based teaching and an atmosphere of Heaven where the presence of the Holy Spirit abounds, visit this church. God has great things in store for you, too.

The first thing you notice about this church is that it is very humbly decorated with blank brick walls. The statues depicting the Holy Family show Mary as a humbly dressed woman holding her toddler son whose hands are outstretched toward you as though he wants you to hold him. Joseph is depicted as a carpenter sawing a tree stump. The altar is not ornate in the least with a simple depiction of the Last Supper on the face. The FOCAL POINT of this church is a soaring, life-sized crucifix that is hoisted about 20 feet above the heads of the humble men who celebrate the Eucharistic feast on the altar every day. And at the end of every Mass, we all pray our Parish Prayer together before exiting. Today, in Christ, I humbly invite you to come and join us!
