Christian Testimonies Page 5

God still moves with the power of Faith. Just because we don't see that movement the same way we read it, doesn't mean God is stagnant.

I was at a bible study with my friend and her husband came home with a severe ankle injury. They were extremely upset, since her husband is military and this injury was a potential surgery and Medical Discharge. I just felt the Lord telling me to pray over him and as nervous as I was I did. I prayed for healing and the peace that comes only from Jesus, along with other things.

The first doctors exam showed a severe ankle injury. Then the weekend hit which means no referral or further treatment til monday.

After the second exam to confirm the referral, the doctor apparently made a shocking discovery. That the injury was somehow very different now. Instead of a severe ankle injury with a referral, it was just a minor sprain. That amount of relief for that family is something few experience. No one can explain the drastic different between these examinations, but God. He hears prayers and He answers them. I waited a month to hear any news, some people wait much longer. No matter where you are in your wait for the Lord, just know that he hears your prayer and an answer will come. He has a picture that is much larger than us and His timing is perfect because of that. Keep waiting on the LORD.

Back in 2010 I was at a job where I was being put through a lot of psychological and emotional abuse by my manager and boss. I also had a friend who was stealing money from me and using me. I was going through so much I said if God exists he doesn't care about me at all. Now I was raised in the catholic Church and always loved Church but with everything going on I stopped going. I Got diagnosed with anxiety disorder And asthma. I was the heaviest id ever been and I was borderline diabetic. On Christmas Eve I was laying in bed contemplating suicide or doing an act that would put me In jail for the rest of my life. But I said no I'll give Church one last try. I sat in the pew and I remember saying out loud if Your real help me. I got a warmth that started in my heart it flowed throughout my entire body than exited my fingers. I took a deep breath and started to cry. 5 days later I went back to get checked on my asthma and the doctor said my lungs were clear. He asked me what happened so i told him and he told me I had been healed by God. fast forward to 2015. The second Sunday I. October of 20015 was the first time I heard the Gospel and that day was when I gave my life to Christ.

My son lost his life yesterday, the eight of June.2022,because of drug and alcohol addiction. As is all too often the case, being the closest to him in everyday life, as a father my love for him blinded me to his problem. In simple words he died of an overdose but by the Grace of God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit he came back to my to us from the afterlife. Sure, human hands and circumstances played a big role but I firmly believe those hands were guided by God himself.

What I have shared up until now is only the beginning of the real story that I wish to impart.

I read my Bible everyday. My method is to start at the first chapter of Genesis and end with the last chapter of Revelations. I'm not sure how many times I have read the entire Bible(mostly the NIV But some King James as well but my educated guess is at least10 times. I do skip around at times seeking different passages for specific reasons also but when this happened yesterday in the normal course of my reading I find myself in the book of Psalms. The 38th to be exact. l will lave it to the readers desire to truly watch how the Hand of God guides those of us who are willing to listen and accept his truth in our spiritual journey to our home in his eternal presence.

Know that on this night it came as a revelation and epiphany to me and my walk with my Lord Jesus. May he bless each reader with his almighty and everlasting wisdom and to him alone belongs all thethe glory and praise.

First and foremost thanking God for keeping me in the land of living. I have known God all my life when I thought he wasn't there he was there all the time. I have been suffering from congestion heart failure for over 15 years are so . Heart was only functioning 10.0 percent.halluejuh is the highest praise .I was blessed and received a new heart on April 28. I give thanks to the donor's family without them none if this would be possible. God worked in my favour for that I am truly grateful. Now I'm working on being a doer of the word and not just a hearer. I still have along road ahead of me my faith is what gets my by . prayer's from people on here has got my by thanks to my prayer warriors. God ain't through with me yet Amen.

I would like to become born again, i bed to guied in spiriual ways Testimony

I live in uganda nd at the age of 16,my Dad refused to pay my school fees and life has sincce then become hard for me but i thank God for my aunt who started paying my tuition and am now studying my dream course "computer science".I thank God for everybody He has blessed my life with and i will continue to Praise Him all of my Life.

For 3 years the Lord Jesus stopped me from being rained on. if it was raining through my window of my apartment , I'd go down to the ground level of our apartment (faces north) from my apartment (faces south) and find it was a sunny beautiful day with evidence of raindrops all around. I'd walk to the bus (not even 5 minutes away) and when the bus came, after the driver shut the doors, it would start raining again. when we turned onto the road of my destination there was an obvious line that the rain was on the south side but the pavement on the road we turned on would be dry. This was for about 5 years every time I took the bus on a rainy day. there were witnesses to it happening. I keep it with me every single day.

Another time when we were going out, the forecast said rain and my husband told me to wear some raingear; I told him "NO, I have FAITH that the Lord has stopped the rain for years now so I/we would not get wet. I have FAITH that He would stop me from being rained on today as well." When we were on way to our destination, as we turned onto the buildings' walkway, I noticed something on the ground I picked it up and it was a round - I call it a token - on the one side it has the word FAITH, on the other side it had our church Benediction!! - it was Jesus telling me He knew I had faith about the rain stopping and He let me know that He had heard me. God's children HE IS HERE! I now help him + speak to Himself every day. He blesses me in so many ways every single day... This is NOT a fairy tale nor a lie. I really am on speaking terms with Lord Jesus!! I tell non Christians it takes BELIEF that Jesus lived and died like in the bible. I tell them to have FAITH that He is with us, TRUST that His PROMISES are true, and that He wants us to LOVE EVERYONE (we don't have to like them, or see them a lot) and to HELP anyone who we come across that needs it. Belief, Faith, Trust, and to Forgive + Love each other always. If you are a Christian you already do that!!

Praise God...my wife left me one year ago. We were married 60 years. She didn't find another man, she went to live with our non-christian son. My son has always dispised me because I bought him a car when he turned 18 and I caught him driving fast and drinking beer with a buddy. I took his car away and he has despised me every since. He and my youngest son and wife managed to sell my property and I am homeless.. I forgive them... Praise God...Jesus says give up your riches and follow me....I am...I never smoked, drank alcohol, or drugs. I never cuss and I love all animals. I am writing a Christian book TITLE Shadetree Saint.. My first book is being published in June and will appear on Amazon..The story of my life as a Park Ranger. TITLE Renegade Ranger. Jesus has blessed me in so many ways...I am in good health and I am now retired. I would appreciate hearing from other Christians. PRAISE GOD....

The day i met Jesus, i was trained in love. I who thought i was alone in the world. Without anyone caring! Jesus love Is eternal, without accusation, with this love i can endure everything! 1 Corintians 13

When i think back and see what darkness i lived in, it is with shame. Because I did not give Jesus my heart before. For I lived in the world without God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I was doomed and did not understand! But then i think: Could i have been awakened as Jesus did for me, if i had not been in this darkness? No, so here i see that it was the Lord who did / wanted / loved / raised me from the dead!

Everything came from Him both to darkness and to light. Because He wants mr to Honor and Love Him who is Worthy Jesus Christ therefore lives in me, Thank Almighty God for Your goodness and Greatness.

God the Father has seen me from the beginning. He wanted me to come to the knowledge of the truth. Live with God in the Spirit through Jesus Christ to His glory with body and soul and spirit for the rest of my life. Oh, nothing can separate me from His Great Love.

He knows about all my hair, all my thoughts. My chores so Is He there. When thoughts swirl here and there, in my head. I look at the Love of the Lord. And get a feeling of purity and closeness that does not touch anything in this world.

For in Him i can overcome everything, in His Love. In this state I can feel invincible, loved and forgiving in every way.

It is true love that overflows, it threatens to overflow. So that the Love i walk on propagates in the people i meet on my way. And the day will come when i will see Jesus, see Him as He is and my heart then?

He Is Patient, am I? Yes i will Lord, show me patience in love. Show me closeness in love. Show me today in love. Jesus Christ i love You, and u

Me & my wife had done months of research and consulting with pastors on the subject of 1st cousin marriage. We found that the ONLY country in the world where it is illegal is in the USA. And only illegal in 24 states, where 26 states it's legal. But our concern was with God and the written word. Some denominations believe Joseph & Mary were 1st cousins. We could find in the "list" of forbidden marriages NO mention that 1st cousin marriages were forbidden and even encouraged. We are both nearing 70, procreation not an issue.

We were married in a Methodist church, by a Methodist minister, under the eyes of God and witnesses. But we still encounter people who say it's forbidden. In fact I just ended a relationship with a good friend over this issue. I was insulted. What are your thoughts please !

Please send references from KJV only as this is the only Bible he reads.

god has done so much in my life

I was saved when I was 6 years old, I was doing my A C E pace. while reading a story Ace was explaining how amazing it was to be a Christian. I stopped and asked Mom how to be saved, then she told me and I got saved. :-)

I was saved over 69 years ago God put up with with my ways all these years. I did many things that was wrong but God would forgive me. Greater is he that is in me is greater than the world.

I have preach the word for over 50 years.

This past year i had 3 heart attachs in less than 8 hours the Dr told me i should be dead God pull me out.

ALCOHOL WAS DESTROYING MY LIFE

In April 1990 after 16 years of marriage and four children. My life was ruined because of alcoholism. After an argument, I left home to sort my self out. Although I had tried in the past, I just couldn't change.

Why is my life a mess?

In desperation I called out to God-"The sun rises and sets every day for thousands of years but I am only here for a short life. Why am I here, why did you make me, why is my life such a mess? God if you are there please help me! I went home and found a leaflet in my letterbox asking, "Who is God? The one who answers of course!"

Immediate and remarkable change

I went to a meeting and heard the full Gospel message. I believed in God, but I never seen or heard evidence of his power in any other church. When it was shown to me from the Bible what I must do to be saved, I decided to be baptized by full immersion according to the scriptures ( Acts 2:38).

I awoke at 3am the next morning to feel an amazing peace and joy come over me and I spoke in tongues. From that moment my life change. My marriage healed, aggression and alcoholism healed. God proved himself to me - why not you.

Healing

In February 2013. I was diagnosed with a tumor. "The surgeon told me" The tumor is very close to your right eye, after your operation you may lose your sight in the right eye. I went in to hospital for keyhole surgery and they could not find any tumor it disappeared, thank you Lord. I thank God for he is a God who hears and answers prayer.

Having a personal relationship with God is the promise of the bible. The New Testament of the bible describes a church that changed the world. It talks about salvation as a foundational experience from an answering God.

In Jude 1:3 (KJV)

Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

Where do it begin? almost died at age of 7 or 8 with a horrible case of scarlet fever. years later would be diagnosed with cervical cancer. jesus in his infinite wisdome & mercy showed grace to a women who was lost and undone. how patient he has been with me over the years. in the last year he has taken nothing and made something out of it. and it is all him. i do love him with all my heart and following him until he calls me home or raptures the church whichever comes first.

do want to share something though. a few weeks ago during testimonies at a church service, this dear sister stood up and said " i can't fix my daughter to become saved, but i can continue to pray." those words just kept going over & over in my mind. jesus had sent me another word. for years ive tried to fix people around me even being saved, but you can fix no one. only jesus can. my walk has been hard in that im a nurse and when we have a situation we use our training the good lord allows us and we fix what we can. but when you really realize he is truly in control and let go of the worries of this world, your walk with him becomes so much sweeter. it's been hard to let go, by his grace and mercy i have let go and laying up my treasures in heaven with my masters guidance. we sing a song in your choir called stand still and let god move. people are in a hurry to do this or run there, when we all need to take quiet time to commune with jesus. he is waiting now to hear from you, won't you let this be the day you no longer walk around filled with anxiety, worry, depression. he loves us all equally and has no respect of persons. we are all his children whether we choise to live for him or not for we were all created in his image. god bless everyone who reads this. he is coming soon, please be ready to meet him.praise his holy, holy, holy name now and forever in the name of the lord hesus christ amen

It's been put on my heart, to share my ebarringly painfull I need to share in person.

I was in the fast life with all sorts of profanities and the Lord decided to look upon me...

Those lonely evenings coming from work I would pray to Him...He heard my cry

I was raised a Mormon, but their beliefs never satisfied my soul, and i left the church and eventually became a Christian. My husbands sisters were instrumental in my salvation. I thank God for them. there have been so many times that God saved me from death, he kept me alive for his purpose, until I was saved. I love him so. To God be the glory.

Re the pretrib contentions nowadays. I have a controversy with this for when a young Christian I was reproved of beloved *FATHER GOD* for some aggression in my walk. I was so moved, ashamed & repentant to think I was bruising others after experiencing much bruising attitudes and sad handling of situations through life till 52 years old when I finally confronted my Mother. "Mum, I have always though you did not like me." An immediate response was. " Edwin, how could you say such a thing!" "Well, thats the way Ive always felt." I answered. Again her quick answer was. "I can prove you were a wanted child, as I wanted 7 boys and you were number 5." Then as though conviction came upon her, she bowed her head saying. "OH Ed, I am sorry, I did neglect you." Resulting in her humbly accompanying me to Church of CHRIST NZ Mt Roskill, and her returning to her early Christianity. At death she said: "I said to GOD. I must be the proudest woman alive."Then with a grin. "I think *HE* said. "Dont be proud Jean, you are not." Loved that ! Brought up as atheists. Our *FATHER GOD* with infinite understanding foreseeing my response to the aggression reproof gave me three vivid dreams, clearly memorable to this day.

1/ We lived next to a catholic famly and a great wind storm came from the east to the west and I was blown horizontal, on our side holding onto a post of the fence between our two properties while all sorts of objects flew past me.

2/ A group of people complete with backpacks waiting on the northern grass siding of the Riverhead Road. Dad approached me from across the road. I noted his bright eyed face. Sparks fell around us as we lifted heavenward. Malachi 4:3. Rev 6:11. *GODS*wrathful DAYafter sifting tribulations.

3/ I was sitting in a round craft above the earth, two beings looking over the edge and one said to the other."Theres another one." As I looked to my right in the distance I could see the city of GOD bordered with a rainbow. Matt 24:31, Mark 13:27 GBU.

I am a student in Nigeria but i relocated to the U.K and then i was looking around the neighborhood for a school but thank God I got a good school

I was a lukewarm Christian who lived for the world for almost a year. I broke almost all of God's commandments, I was lustful, I did things that God hated, I followed the world and became in love with fame and money instead of God, I treated my phone and other devices as idols, I struggled with my sexuality, I told boys sexually what they wanted to hear, I never wanted God to come into my life thinking He would just "mess up my fun" since I wanted to do my own thing, and so much more than anyone could ever believe I did before since I was raised in a Christian household. Then my grandfather passed away and I just turned into a true demon that day. I ignored every warning that Jesus was returning, I didn't acknowledge the fact that God could have just taken my life, I ignored Jesus who kept knocking at the door of my heart not knowing that one day He could have returned and I would be left behind and I would've taken the mark of the beast for fun or to gain followers or to just follow what my friends were doing. One day whilst I was seeing how many more followers I gained, I fell to my knees unexpectedly and I was frozen there and out of nowhere I cried out to God. I asked for forgiveness for every single thing I did and I repented. After that, I felt His heavenly presence around me and I felt peace in my spirit and I was filled with love and joy. After His amazing encounter every sin that held me down disappeared, friends and boys started to dislike the new and improved Christian me but I didn't care since I asked God to remove anyone who wasn't right for me, I got many prophetic dreams and visions, and I thank God for saving me from my past that could have led me straight to hell. PRAISE GOD FOR HE SHALL LIVE FOREVER!!!

i was introduced to God from a young age. i was around 3/4. my grandmother is the one that made sure we went to church. i had a genuine childlike faith and love and belief in the Lord. then i started being sexually abused around the same age by an older male cousin. He eventually moved from molestation to raping me at 5 years old. i remember crying out to God to save me. but the abuse didnt end till i was 10. so at 5 i turned my back on God and was angry with Him and His believers. and i grew hateful and bitter and angry as the years went by.

at age 10 the abuse ended cuz i got older n was able to avoid him or say no more or fight or run off more than i was able to before. at 11 i started self harming via cutting myself with whatever i could get my hands on. i also started strugglign with my sexuality from age 7-25. thinking i was bisexual. hating being a woman/female and gender issues. so it was an awkward time. and of course i didnt tell anyone of the sexual abuse and rape until i was 14. i told when i was 14 because i was going to commit suicide but backed out cut instead n the next morning told my family. my nana tried taking em to church around that time n id go and pretend to be Christian but my heart wasnt in it.

from 14-25 i struggled with mental illenss and suicde plans and i got to a point i was going to save up and buy a gun to kill myself at age 25. God reached out to me june 10 2018 at 3am with the movie "woman thou art loosed". and it set me free. the God i thoughbt abandoned me and that i abandoned in return, loved me. forgave me. saved me. was always theree. and was calling out for me to return to Him. the following weekend i was in church and 3 months later i was baptized. my life hasnt been the same since. He set me free from sooo many things. from my sins, from myself, from the enemy. and He is ever healing me steadily now. i am 28 going on 29 and im getting my life and growing in my love and knowlege of the Lord. wont He do it!

After an all night party, driving home my car hit a cliff and spun out then stopped The car was half on and off about 100 foot cliff. I got out to see what had happened and in my minds eye, the car went over the cliff and exploded with me in it. 2 Years later at a Church there was interpretation of the spirit and the words were exactly what happened. They were I am the GOD who saved you from that CLIFF!

PRAISE GOD FOR HE SHALL LIVE FOREVER!!!

"Have no fear" sayeth The Lord. If one loves Him how could one fear Him? He is my life, and my life would be worthless without Him.

Praise the LORD almighty . All these year I had never experience this amazing feeling of excitement with GOD . Challenges was on me all this years believing that I can do it on my own but I was very wrong . I am the head of the family and being the bread winner I choose to stay away from them for nearly 18 years working abroad . All I want is to provide for my parents and siblings . It is never easy and most of the time I would always say things anyhow to them to the point of even employing words when i argue with them with those help I gave them . Being away from my family for so many many years was truely never easy and I feel like my connection with them is only about the help i am providing them financially . We fight emotionally , they were hurt , I got hurt and never will I think of them everyday every after exchanges via chat because they will always receive the words I tell them without any remorse from my end . They were hurt but because I provide and help them they choose not to respond . Thinking that what if I was in their shoe like how am i going to go thru it . I know it is never easy as well for them to accept . I became so entitled of how i want to them to look at the help i was giving them all this years but the LORD is really great . The lord spoke to me to open up my heart once again with them . The love that the Lord is sharing with me is so awesome , promising and very reassuring . Because of GODS enormous kind of kindest love , he made me to realize so many things - that as his son by flesh he created me to bless people with kind words , my family to receive my blessings unconditionally , that by flesh his wisdom share to me is my greatest opportunity to stand again , to be great again , to be who i want to be , to be someone who only get approval from him. I thank the LORD for what it is and how he has challenged me - challenge my faith . The unbounded joy is so wow - like it is no other after YOU SPOKE YOUR WORDS BEFORE ME , PRAISE THE LORD !

Thank you lord for being present and looking after my husband during his surgery. Please continue to bless and protect him and help him have a full recovery.

As a child I went to church, but I didn't understand what I was actually doing fully. Although, my mother always warned me "God is watching". Although throughout my life, I fell in and out of faith; I didn't know about Jesus. My father is an atheist, and this is what I began to call myself. When I was in my teens, I learned how evil the world was. I saw all the signs and symbolisms of Satan. I learned there is a whole other side to the spectrum of this evil I was seeing. That other side being God. This is when I started to pray more, I still didn't seek Jesus, but I had a passion for the truth. This is when I was attacked in my sleep by a demon. I searched high and low for answers and gained a lot of knowledge. I noticed a pattern, the answers would always end at God. I still would pray here and there. I ended up having 2 children out of wedlock at age 26 &27. I moved to Sun City (Vegas) and ended up losing everything. I moved back home with my family in 2017. In about the year 2019 my son was being attacked by demons, at this time I thought it could have been paranoia schizophrenia beings my grandmother had it. I was looking for answers. I started to get into political truths and learned more about God. I prayed to Him quietly late one night, in tears. I heard Him say "I have loved you from the beginning". Immediately I was wide eyed and saw 2 crosses as confirmation. (Feb, 18,2021) I picked up a Bible and at this time, my son began witnessing the Gospel to me. He asked questions and I'd seek the answer in the Bible. I'd find he was right. I then realized he was seeing visions from God. Also, my brother who was in Christ already, said he'd had a dream of me submerged in water, he could see my hand surrounded by light and bubbles coming to the surface. I made the connection of me being saved. Since then, my life has done a complete 360. My son, who is 9 now, still tells me "He gave you so many signs mom". God knew how skeptical I was, he gave me a gifted son.

I became a Christian in 1970.Shortly thereafter a minister encouraged me saying; "The most important thing for you to do is to get alone with God,read your Bible and know what it says."Best advice I have ever received in my life,I'm still not done praying or with reading my Bible yet,and plan to keep at it until I see Christ our Lord,I'd like to pass on the same encouragement to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

God give me favor and a miracle in regards to my current housing. Protect and give me and my children stability in Jesus name Amen
