The day my life changed

Hey every1 I'm Richard from england and this is my testimony, I love telling people about it

I have always been a "luke warm" christian and belived but never really wanted to do anything for God. But all that started to change before the summer when I started going to the youth group.Then on Nov 14th at about 9PM I was at the end of a worship session at a truly amazing youth outreach camping type thing called "desert challenge" and a friend started to pray for me. I started shivering and then shaking, then I fell over under the amazing power of God and went into some kind of transe for about 20mins. When I woke up I was completly different and am now a living sacrifice for christ(or at least trying to be one ) Since then I have brought friends to Christ, seen visions and had a dream from God, And i'm loving it!

On the way home from desert challenge that day I just couldn't stop the urge to sing for God, even in the supermarket! (you get allot of strange looks doing someting like that in a muslim country ) It was like God had lit a fire in my heart.

God has been doing so much with me recently. I have never played anything musical in my life then all of a sudden I just felt like getting a bass but I wasn't sure so when I was in the shop I asked God and then a man just came up to me and started telling me about how his town is the only 100% christian in the world so I took it as a sine and bought a bass. I have had it for a month and am learning really fast!

I hope this can inspire some of you, If you are willing and ask God to change you then trust me, he will!!!


God bless you all,

The answer to gentilones question.

Sure I'd love to tell you,



well I have had one dream and two visions. Belive it or not these are the short versions, well this was the dream:



I was walking along a beach with a small cliff along the one side and the sea on the other side with some people from my youth group. Then suddenly I was in an empty school corridor with two of the people from youth group, we got to the end of the corridor and one of the people I was with froze like he was in a trance and said "Jesus is coming." At that moment a door behind him opened and Jesus stepped out of a bright white light but he didn't look like we all expect him to look like, he looked like a normal everyday man but he had a pierced ear?! Then all of a sudden we were on the beach again with the rest of the people I was with before. I was slightly ahead of them, I came to a ramp up to a gap in the cliffs with a wall and a door in the gap I started up the ramp and my best friend from youth group came running out and asked where Jesus was and I pointed behind me. Then we all (including Jesus) went through the door in the cliff and came into a city but all I remember about the city was coming to a ruined, burning building but I can't remember any of the other buildings. Outside the ruined building was a man lying down in some kind of distress (I think he was hurt or dead) and Jesus walked over to him and the man was healed he then joined our group and we carried on, I then woke up.



And one of the visions was of a bullet going through a wall of water, it happened after a visitor out of the blue started screaming at the youth group about us needing to be more united. So I think the bullet represented the guy screaming and the wall of water was the youth group.



The other vision was when I was in a group of 5 people praying then all of a sudden one after the other 3 of us got visions and another guy got a verse. All the visions were different analogies of the same thing. I saw a heard of horses galloping at full speed but then getting stopped by a huge brick wall, another guy saw a yaught sailing but it kept getting stopped by an outcrop of rocks and the other vision was a wall of black oozing liquid which was sin slowly approaching my friend while he was standing there trying to stop it.



Those are just the less subtle things that God has done with me, it would take too long to tell you everything
