My Testimony
I was raised in Catholic church and exposed to Mormonism as
well, but by the age of eighteen I had become atheist or so I thought, I almost
died experimenting with mushrooms and went into cardiac arrest. At that moment
while dying, my body began to separate from my spirit I cried out and asked if
there was a God to help me. I saw a bright light, whiter than the sun and it
came into my room and something touched me and the pain subsided and a voice
began to speak to me that I needed to go to church and get a bible.
Unfortunately, I was stubborn and continued to use drugs, drink, smoke, and sin
after going to the priest and confessing all my sins. A few months passed and
watching a film about Jesus of Nazereth and I became aware of how good Jesus
was and how terrible of a death he suffered for no apparent reason, "I
cried out why would someone so good have to die such an awful death" and
the Holy Ghost spoke to me and said, "the reason Jesus died was for your
sins," I immediately fell on my knees and wept over my sinfulness and
asked him to forgive me and change my heart,
God spoke to me by his Spirit and said, "I welcome you with open
arms" and suddenly I saw a vision of Jesus in the corner of my room with
his hands outstretched and with pierced hands and feet, I was raptured away in
God's love and Spirit and knew my sins were forgiven. The next day some of my
friends asked me what I was on (drugs) and I told them I have been reborn,
though at the time I had never heard the term being born again. God quickly led
me out of the Catholic church and I was sanctified and baptized in the Holy
Ghost and called to preach the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have been fortunate
to serve almost 20 years as a pastor, and asst. pastor for a few years, also as
a youth director, missionary to Canada and fervently desire to love and serve
the Lord Jesus with my whole heart all of my days.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ here are three steps you need to take to be saved:
You must admit you are a sinner, confess your sin to Jesus, repent (turn from all you know is wrong), ask Jesus to come in your heart, and begin to follow Jesus by reading and obeying his word and go to a bible believing church that teaches his word. May God through Christ bless you!
