Firstly, my aunt is now a former Jehovah's Witness and has turned Christian! Praise the Lord! She said she started reading the gospels one day and started paying attention to what Jesus was saying. She finally got to the part where he said he is the way the truth and the life. And then she read that every knee will bow, and it hit her right there. She realized the JW had it all wrong and that God wanted to bring her into relationship with him and not their organization. She then attended a church and has since told me about it and I invited her to my church if she hasn't already made hers a home church. Praise God.

Secondly, I am beginning to understand what it means to become sanctified! I have become repentant more and more here lately and am starting to wonder what the point of being Christian is if you are not being sanctified by God, his word, and his grace. I am having less and less convictions and hope one day if or when the Lord calls on me I will be able to say "here i am! I want to serve you my God!"

Another praise is that I have revelation concerning faith and what it is. The bible calls it the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of that which cannot yet be seen. I realize now we will never have much solid or believable proof God exists in this day and age, but I also see that the evidence of the work of his hand is everywhere, whether it's the birth to the ascension of Jesus Christ or the creation of the world!

Finally I am feeling increasingly priestly lately. I think I am beginning to bear more of the fruit of the spirit :)

I think that ties into my sanctification but I feel change happening. I feel increasingly spiritual and peculiar and holy. I praise the Lord! Amen.

It kind of sounds like you are on the top of the mountain right now and that is a good place to be.
And when that valley experience comes along, don't let it affect you the way the devil wants it to.
Remember God can use the valley experience to work patience, character and hope in you. Romans 5:1-5

I thank God for your Mother being freed. Praise the LORD.

The word sanctification is one of those big Christian words that get thrown around by preachers that most people don’t understand what it means. Sanctification means to be set aside, to be separated, to be dedicated, to commit yourself wholly and completely to something or someone.
