My Story

[JohnnyV]

Hello!
I am 34 years old and have only been a Christian for the last year.
I was raised in a Pentecostal home, and knew about Jesus but around the age of 12 I started living life my own way.
I began using drugs, alcohol and cigs at age 12 and continued up until last year.
There were many times in my life that I attempted suicide, 5 of which were before the age of 18.
I eventually became involved in Bisexuality and Witchcraft.
As much as I thought I was in control of my life, I was not. I could not escape from the depression, loneliness and hopelessness.
Last year, I had a seizure at work due to too many pills and that started me on a journey to clean myself up.
I realized that I could not do it on my own, so I prayed and asked Jesus to be Lord of my life.
My life has since changed quite a bit. I have not touched drugs or alcohol since, I no longer am Bisexual and have renounced my involvement in Witchcraft. I am going back to school to get my degree and my Life is so different now that I can hardly believe how I used to live.
I Praise God for his Love and Mercy and am so Thankful that Jesus loved me enough to die for my sins that I may live for him!!!
God Bless,
~John

It's so great what God has been doing in your life! I was involved with Shamanism for a while until God showed me my rebellion and drew me back to Him. I've had to renounce that also. I've been powerfully drawn back to Shamanism at times since them, but God has taught me how to give the struggle up to Him so He can protect me from my weakness in that area. His grace is overwhelming and it is just so wonderful to just rest in His arms of love and let Him fight the battle for me! Thank you for sharing your testimony and reminding me of what God has rescued me from.
