Speaking of which, my mom was a Christian, but my dad wasn’t. He had a lot of anger issues and I was afraid of him throughout my childhood years and into my teens. I won’t go through those dark details as I don’t want that to be the spotlight of my Testimony.
One of my early childhood memories was of my mom teaching us a Born Again prayer from a very young age. Another is when I drew a picture for God, because my mom called him the Father. So I thought, hey, maybe He’ll like a picture. I finished it and coloured it in as best I could and tossed the paper in the air, hoping it would disappear or be taken up by a soft wind.
Alas...
It only floated down to the floor. I remember feeling devastated. Alone. Unwanted. Wondering where I belonged if not in either world.
Nonetheless, I continued reading God’s Word, hoping to find answers. The few I found weren’t significant enough for me to hold onto and again I continued my search – even elsewhere as dark as the Ouija board and Tarot cards. Again, I won’t go into detail with those, but something significant did happen and I got confirmation that there really is another world totally apart from this one – and yet, not so far beyond, but a veil. I then started to “respect” what the other side is capable of, but not fear it. God is to be feared respectively, and so I did. However, I was still conformed to this world and didn’t know how else to be.
Then I got sucked into people saying “didn’t you know? You’re Empathic! You’re magical!” Though, not outright saying it like that, save the empathic comment, but I felt like they got me. They understood me and I wasn’t alone anymore. But these people weren’t Children of God, but unknown slaves to gods. I wanted so badly to be accepted and belong somewhere in this world that I clung to it and them...
Until it just didn’t feel right anymore. Every now and then I would feel this tug in my heart to change direction, and I wouldn’t hesitate to listen. I let them go since their belief system didn’t fit mine and I didn’t wish for any arguments or fights over it. I’ve learned a long time ago that people can’t change people – only God can.
A few months ago, I asked a simple question that I had no idea would change my life – forever.
“God…. Once and for all, what is the Truth?”
I asked this because I was starting to think like Satan. That all these religions were really just connected to God in some way. I thought they all pointed to Him, when in reality there is only One True God. No other religion is connected to Him, but His Word. Truth.
Not only that, but also finding inconsistencies in the Bible.
That way of thinking later on really freaked me out because I started seeing it in the paper and online, even the Pope himself said all religions are one. Sent chills running up and down my spine, I tell you!
That was God’s way of telling me or showing me that these people are frauds and that He is the Truth.
Now, getting back to when I asked this (not so) simple question, I was left bread crumbs and I totally ate them!
*Ahem!* This trail lead me to watch Four Blood Moons and of course careful not to take everything in as truth, however, the past and Biblical prophesies that came to pass astonished me. I hungered for more and picked up my phone and dusted off the Bible app to read His Precious Word. Another was when my sister told me about Joyce Meyer’s Battlefield of the Mind book on Audible. I ate that up too. Then later I came across a Youtube film called New World Order Bible Versions. I was horrified that I was reading the wrong version, and more so when I learned of the missing verses! I went straight to King James Version in learning of how much it was persecuted, much like the Christians. Why would I read anything less persecuted or none at all? What truth is in that? I asked God for the Truth. He was giving it to me in such abundance I didn’t know what to do with. I felt like a happy school girl, giddy and free getting to know Him.
Then came the hard Truth of what is going on in the world today. Much, much terrible persecution in Syria and other parts of the world. Learning of the two Beasts of the modern world – Obama and the False Prophet. I did a lot of research, reading His Word and the prophesy… so telling. However, that is another topic entirely.
I feel like He’s giving me a recap of what’s going on in the world, catch up if you will, and telling me to be ready for the thief in the night. To have extra oil for my lamp, watch for His signs, and get ready to fit my gown for the Bride of Christ!
For He is coming soon!
