Since accepting the Lord into my life back in Feb 2015 so much has changed with me and others,
My life before was filled with drinking, drugs, sexual stuff, anger, ups and downs mainly downs, friends that were not friends and loads more, feeling lost, helpless and a whole lot of other emotions, don't forget the swearing and the use of Gods name in Vain,
All my life I have been in and out of Church, never really took in anything, always believed that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, never took it seriously though.
That day back in Feb I was at Church with my kids, through the service i was feeling overwhelmed, when we were worshipping I was crying tears just running down my face, through the message i was getting the time is now, today no more sitting on the back bench the choice has to be made, at the end of the service when the alter call was made i felt myself being lead down the front, weirdest feeling but I went with it, My Pastor was there as well as the Senior Pastor and they Prayed for me, I was asked if I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour and Belived that he dies on the cross for my sins, Yes of course, well wow can not explain the feeling inside me but it was good.
I attended Church every week, went to the Prayer meetings and Connect groups, Became part of the Leadership team and yet things were not really going anywhere, I was still in the mindset of the flesh and not really wanting to let go of things.
In July of this year My walk with God took a turn for the better, We had had a good weekend with the Church doing workshops and a morning service and a night service, You could fell God with us, so amazing. At the night service The guest Pastor was calling new christians up and ones that had lost the connection and wanted to come back and then a call out to people who wanted to prayed for o do with the Holy Spirit, My Pastor and a friend took me up, I was nervous but feeling calm, like wow something great is going to happen, I was standing there going with the flow listening to the music and emptying my mind, The Guest Pastor came to me and started praying over me and this weird but wonderful feeling flowed through me, next min I am on the ground with a few others praying over me, I was down for awhile and when I got back up i felt like a new person, a new lease on life, Things were so great.
I was ready to take on the world, I spent time talking to God more than I ever had, swearing became non existent, using his name in vain stopped, i was more settled, things were still going wrong but this time instead of getting angry i would seek God.
I was helping people and learning things to do with the Word,
Still I was not reading my Bible daily nor was i praying until I watched a movie called War Room, my eyes and ears had been opened and wow since then i have noticed a huge change in my life.
I have a prayer journal and i write in that everyday and i also pray and read my Bible daily as well.
I am helping a fellow christian with what i have learnt as well, Praise God.
I am learning stuff everyday and becoming more aware of different things as my walk goes on,
I am far from perfect but i am no longer where I used to be.
Yes i have coped a lot of taunting and there are people who no longer talk to me anymore because I chose God. In the end I know he is with me and that is what matters.
Love to all
