I have had the awesome privledge of reading so many great testimonies, its amazing what God can do.
I think its time I share mine with all of you. About 3 years ago I gave my heart to the Lord. Before that I was a complete mess. I wasnt brought up in a Christian home, I was brought up in an occult (hinduism) family. From the time I was a kid I never understood this religon, all I was told was that it was tradition and I shoud just follow it. Every time I had a problem I was taken to a hindu priest, so they prayed (actually they put more curses on you), but thankfully my God says Im blessed beyond a curse.
Most of my childhood, all of my teen years I spent with the wrong company, I was an alcoholic throughtout my teen years and into my first 2 years of my 20s. When I was 21 I lived in a boarding house and the women there was a Christian by name but not by faith but she took me to a pastor. The pastor asked me what I believed in and at that point I tried to sell him the whole deal of hindiusm and about how good it was (I was blind now I can see). At the end of the night at this pastors house , he and his wife prayed for me, they prayed that the scales be removed off my eyes. I still walked out of that place not surrendering to Jesus. A year later I moved into a new place with a roommate who was always partying. In that time I was still lost and oneday I said to God, if you are real is there a book on how to live life? I didnt get an answer.......My life started to get more screwed up and I decided to start looking for the real God, then I came across islam, I decided to stay in that religon for a while, the muslim people gave me a korean (their holy book) and told me to live a strict life, its more a spirit of control. I did what they told me to do but I never felt happy.After 8 months of living with this roommate, we had a fight and she kicked me out with only a small bag of my clothes. Whatever money I had in my bank account I used to pay for my accomodation at a hotel. My money was running out fast. At this hotel I met a women who looked like a muslim (she had the muslim head-dress on) ,so I decided to befriend her and I told her I was muslim. She looked at me and told me she was a born - again christian who had come out of islam, she just wears the head - dress becos of culture. She took pity on me when I started telling her my problems. At this point death had become an option in my head. I had no respect for life at all, I kept on thinking if I die, I die, so what. Becos I had almost no more money and no place to stay this lady took me to stay with her in her room. Every night before we went to bed she told me to read the bible and certain pslams (psalms 91, 35, 23 ect), all had to do with God delivering me. One night when when she was asleep, she called the name of Jesus in her sleep. The next morning I told her she was talking in her sleep and I told her was she said, She then told me that her spirit speaks to God (I thought she was crazy). At 4h00 this same morning she told me who Jesus was and asked me if I'd want Him to come into my life. I thought about it and said the salvation prayer and I made a bet with my self, this is my last chance , if this Christanity thing doesnt help, then is no God. It almost 3 years later and accepting Chrsit into my life was the best decision in my life. My heart beats for Him, I have had many encounters with Him after that, He is so real. I am who I am today becos of Him and still very much a work in progress but knowing Him is my greatest joy.
I love you Jesus!
All glory, honour and praise to our Saviour:pp
