I thank God that He pulled me out of organized religion by giving me the LOVE OF TRUTH. I wasn't aware of what God was doing, but I thought to myself: there must be something better, this religion is dead... Sure enough, about 2 years later, God had me run into a brick wall, and my only choice than was to call upon HIM, the TRUE Living GOD, repent of my straying and wanting to do my own will. I gave Him then a challenge: to show me His Truth, I didn't want any of that religious scam; to manifest Himself to me ( Jn. 14: 21), and to show me a Church of His choice where I could serve Him. GOD did all of that and much more, I found in Him a true Father, which erased the false picture I had of Him as Father, He manifested Himself in 3 different ways: by testifying His Word in sending such light, love and power when I was reading a verse concerning His Word, I almost fainted in the process; by showing me an assembly of men and women of God, soulwinners, true Bible believers; and finally, as I was having problems praying in the English language, French beeing my mother's tongue, I asked God what I should do about it, and a couple weeks later, as I was busy serving Him, inviting children to ride the bus on Sundays, around 1 PM, as a strong migraine headache came on me, I got back on the road and thought: "man, I'm going to hit the bunk as soon as I get home..." As I was in these thoughts, suffering under the pain, God spoke to me in English and said: "Take the next road to the left". I was so pleasantly surprised, and so amazed, WOW... But I said: "Lord I'm sick , I have to go to the house" In fact I wanted to hear His voice again, and sure enough, God repeated to me the same phrase, so I stood on the brakes, as I was getting very close to that road and I turned left. Then I said: "Here am I Lord" He didn't say anything else so I thought: "who do I know on this road?" I only knew one sweet old christian lady living in an old trailer. I went directly to her door and knocked, a weak voice said: "Come in, come in", so I did just that, and when she saw me she started crying of joy and said: "I've been praying for 3 days that God would someone to me". She had a bad kidney infection. I knew she was alone, no family no friends in the area, but I didn't know she had no phone, so her only alternative was to ask God to send someone. I was in the area, open to do God's work and He asked me to go visit her, and at the same time He answered my request about this language problem I had by speaking to me in English. From that time on I found it extraordinary to speak with my Lord in the English language without feeling uncomfortable. That's when I started walking with God, who was to me more real than anything I could see or touch. We talked together all day, for specific subjects I'd get on my knees and God would give me an answer soon after. It was really incredible, but I was so thankful to have met the True Living God and to live such a fulfilled life, though I was so weak, and God showed me every one of my sins so I could get forgiveness and strength to overcome, and our relation grew more and more. "...grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ..." There's nothing in the world as GREAT as to be in tune with the True Living God!!! Chris
