A testimony of the Lord and a short story of my life..

I’ll start with when I was exposed to pornography at 11 and at the age of 12 I started smoking weed I was a rebellious child that never listened but only did what I wanted to do I use to run away and I grew up in a broken home and while around the age of 12 I started to lose the sense of “home”. By the time I was thirteen I began drinking and partying and got addicted to ecstasy, and also started to have sexual relations with someone and I just lived to drink and do drugs and have sex and have friends and majority of my teenage years until I was 21 that’s all I did and my life was a mess.. I had no sense of a place that was home and I never had my father in my life.

As I grew older I was lost and didn’t know anything about life but drugs drinking and sex and the pornography perverted me at a young age and I also grew corrupt.. I started to despise life and hate my life so I would always drink or do drugs etc it was an escape as I grew older and life would just beat me down. I was also a thief that stole from stores it was a way of providing for myself because I couldn’t really get a job.. and my life progressively grew worse and more dark and then I had these voices brought into my life by a warlock and I was also betrayed by someone who I thought was close to me.. this was when I was 21 and my life began being destroyed i was institutionalized and diagnosed with schizoaffective and this affliction or whatever took its toll on me and while in the hospital I would become suicidal and almost tried hanging myself on a tree but I got scared and I just had hope that things will change one day.. I was addicted to crystal meth and I use to see evil things with my eyes while I was under the influence and this warlock tried to take my life on multiple occasions serving the devil and my life and my mental health seemed to fall apart... and I was at my lowest at my gfs at the time and just kind of gave up on life.

until one day God opened my mind to Jesus and I remembered that he was a Savior and Gods son and the Father drew me to Jesus and he came into my life and the power that these voices had over me were broken and I began to repent and seek Jesus for forgiveness and mercy the great light has shined in my darkness and in the shadow of death and the Lords been delivering me and setting me free, destroying the works of the devil in my life..and he has given me life and His Spirit to be with me in this.. I then committed myself to him and he’s been good to me and I now live for him. My life has changed he’s given me a new heart and I no longer feel lost in the world but am found in him..and when I believed I had a depraved mind he has been restoring my mind...

There’s so much to say about my conversion but I am sorry I cannot express it in words.
Though I’m sure you have a story too... it is amazing how great the Lord is and how wonderful he really is that he considers us and to adopt us and forgive us of our sins..

to make a wretch his treasure..


I’m 25 now and Jesus came into my life when I was 22.

On this journey we go !

Great to hear that you found Jesus in your life and He saved you from a life of illness and sin. Love the Lord a lot for saving you from your misery then you will grow mightily in His Kingdom. Learn to love Him in all your moods and let His love quieten your spirit.

Jesus is great isn't He? He truly saves broken people from their sins doesn't He? Nothing compares to His love does it?

Peace

How merciful & yet how powerful is our Lord to change us from those enslaved to sin to become his members for righteousness & furthering His kingdom. He is indeed the Savior of the world & His joy is indeed our strength in times of difficulty. Praise the Lord for His goodness unto the children of mankind!
