Hi!
My testimony is really long, and I only managed to give it coherently once by God's grace. Making sense of it is an act of God!
Suffice it to say, I was an atheist for a while, but kept thinking that over. Then I was an agnostic for a while and kept thinking. Then I became a Hindu, and pursued God earnestly. Yet the more I pursued him, the worse off I got!!!
During that period, God would speak to me in visions and I never understood. After one vision where God pulled me up to heaven, I woke from the vision and went to reading the Bible immediately. But then I stopped reading it because I did not really understand a whole lot. But I did understand this much:
John 13:1-17 - Here Jesus showed humility by washing his disciples feet.
A year after that, God came to me in a dream. A morning star soared over a field of wheat. It had started to come near, but I was too scared so it went high into the sky. Soon it would be gone in the horizon and it would be too late!!!
I decided then, I would accept him. The morning star came to me, and it was God who is objective truth. When he spoke these words to me, they were not intellectual words, but words spoken from the being of God, words which could not be refuted.
"You are my child." which God spoke from pure love and truth. I knew it was true because of this, but I could not understand how I was his child. It made no sense to me!
If I was God's child, I certainly did not deserve that treatment. I sinned every day. I tried not to sin, but I would sin anyway. I meditated harder so that I would stop sinning. Then I became demon possessed through meditation because I was trying to receive God's salvation through my own works. I was trying to be perfect enough for God to accept because he had called me his child.
And then when I became possessed, I understood that I had failed. That it didn't matter how much I could ever try, I had already given it my absolute best, and I had become demon possessed and insane trying my best. Salvation was beyond my ability.
I decided then, I would have to learn from Jesus himself. I made him my "guru" as Hindus believe. He would be my instructor and I would learn from him, because he had cast demons out of people. Within a couple days, my uncle led me through a prayer to be born again where I made Jesus my Lord.
Yet, God saw me as his child and called me his child before I was saved!!!
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. - Ephesians 1:5
And after I was saved, I read about Christ who is the morning star.
I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star. - Rev 22:16
Then after I became a Christian, God began healing me of all the ills that came upon me before I was saved!
First he healed my legs of chronic pain and poor circulation.
Then he healed me permanently of all diseases, such as cold, flu and all other diseases.
In 1 year, he healed me of poverty, by tripling my income, taking me from poverty level income to middle income. He also healed me of chronic heart burn during this year.
In 2 years, he healed me of the mental disease I was still on medication for, which was trauma and wrong thinking resulting from the demon possession and my old life.
This is the 3rd year, and I am receiving healing for my eyes which have been near-sighed since childhood. He is also ministering to me about receiving the wife he has chosen for me. I have also got to minister to other people about healing, and how much God has for them!
I feel younger now at 32 than when I did at 18 and was an atheist. Since becoming a Christian, I feel younger every year I go forward. I am not getting older, but younger because God's life is with me.
So being a Christian is great!
