Although I was blessed to have two very loving born again Christian parents to raise me God's way in Jesus Christ, I struggled at times to be with the "in-crowd" at school, and so tried from a very early age to prove myself. I got sucked into worldly lies that I could achieve happiness and self-esteem through harmful addictions, casual affairs, money, and career success. I had to leave work with M.E./chronic fatigue system in 1990. In bed, I turned to the Bible and was drawn to God again. I realised that nothing could fill the emptiness that I had been feeling better than Jesus Christ. The next year I gave my life to the Lord, and was baptised. It was still a long road ahead for me though. Three years later, I attempted suicide because the M.E. chronic fatigue had become seemingly unbearable, but God provided someone to rescue me from taking my own life! Many people had been praying for me, and I can testify that prayer is powerful! Afterwards, I rededicated my whole life to Jesus. God is drawing me closer to Himself, and calling me into full time ministry. What an awesome God we serve. To Him be all the glory!
I have been miraculously touched and healed through prayer by the Lord, but more importantly, Jesus has become the centre of my life, and I live to please Him because of all that He has done for me, especially dying on a cross for my sins nearly 2000 years ago, and rising from the dead so I can go to Heaven for eternity. When I was addicted to certain things, I thought I was free, but I was enslaved in reality. Praise God for His mercy and goodness to me, and He's available to you too! I've discovered that He is alive today, and His presence is very real! I have learnt that true freedom is submission to Christ, and allowing the Holy Spirit to have full control. I have had some tangible physical encounters with God. I don't doubt the reality and divinity of Jesus Christ. I haven't always lived perfectly, but what He has to offer is eternal, and that freedom from darkness starts in this life.
God has said in His Word in Hebrews 13:5 "Never will I leave you nor foresake you." I can promise you from experience that that's true even In the most difficult times. In verse 8 of the same chapter The Word of God says "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and for ever." Put your faith in anything else except Jesus Christ and it will let you down, but Jesus never changes nor does His unfailing love. If you have never received Jesus as Lord and Saviour do not put it off until tomorrow. Tomorrow may never come. Eternity in Hell is a long time to regret never having done it. Jesus says in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Jesus died for you to go to Heaven, "joy unspeakable" the Word of God says, and He loves You personally. God bless you.
Years ago I was going about my own business thinking I was doing ok as things in my life were going all wrong; my private as well as my business life. I was misled of the things of this world, things by society and everyday life that most of us thought were right when in fact they weren't. It was just a huge lie from Satan telling me that I could have this and that and I didn't have to pay the price. Jesus first of all paid the ultimate price with his life on the cross for ALL of my Sins as well as yours! I didnt have to pay anything at all. The only thing I had to do was just to let Jesus have all of my sins. I asked him into my heart, and asked Him to take me over and to cleanse me of all of my sins and to fill me with His love. It was so easy to do it once I let go of my selfish desires and the greatest things is I am free from all things of my past and of the things that would hurt me. It is such an awesome feeling to know that Jesus is the center of my home and life. His love has given me so much.
I lost my first husband, a tragic death; someone murdered him. However I know without a shadow of doubt that his death was paid for by those two men who killed him, whether it be with their own lives, or whether it be with them accepting Jesus as their Saviour. I have had to forgive them of their sins. Oh it wasn't easy. It took time and healing, but Jesus has healed me of the pain from what they did to him, and Jesus has brought me a wonderful new husband from all the way across the world in England. We met on aol, yes right here in a christian chat room just when I thought things where finished for me, and that I would be single for a long time after a break up that devastated me. That was Satan trying to get a hold on me, but it didn't work because Jesus brought me Richard, my sweet loving husband who Jesus has given my son who was fatherless after his Dad died. Then Jesus came after hearing our cries all those years.
Yes oh yes as you have read now, God answers prayers. Never give up on those because I also had a major prayer, and that was to have children again, but there was a problem with me being able to conceive again. I was told that I couldn't have children. My whole left side ovaries were so badly decayed. Then I got married to Richard and I became pregnant. However I had a miscarriage and lost twins. I was crushed, and felt alone. As time passed I was lied to by Satan telling me God didn't care, and I began to feel hopeless and confused and just wanting to die. Then,
Praise God because God's Promises are true, and He is faithful to those who cry out to Him, and ask Jesus to save them and to forgive their sins. I recently gave birth to two girls. Praise God!
