My testimony:)

Well this my first blog and in these blogs I want them to help others and show the love of christ through them. Well first I want to talk about how I came to christ and later I will talk about how you too can come to know christ as well. Well it started when I was a teenager in my sophmore year of high school. I used to be believe it or not , not a very nice person and I would cuss alot and make rumors about others and want to fight people and now it is like I do not even know who that person was or who she used to be. Well first in my life I kind of knew about God but did not really go through with the thing of going to church and praising him like I do now. Until, my sophmore year of high school and I had this friend and she invited me to this camp called Falls Creek and oh my goodness it was just amazing and the preached there the first night talked about God and how he could fix your problems and how he loved us so much to die for us and that his love is everlasting and that he did all that for all of us , including me. I was like no this can not be because everyday I felt so alone and did not think anyone cared and all the things that I went through with anixety and pain. When he said that God could take all that away and how he loved me enough to die for me, I was like this sounds true and the feeling I had that day was like nothing I ever had before and at the end he said how we could get this wonderful love by repenting our sins and telling God I was sorry for everything and that I wanted him to come into my heart. So I did it and believed in him with everything I was and after camp my mom picked me up and was like how was camp and I was like it was amazing and told her about what God did for me and what he could do for her also and I helped my mom come to christ also. Then I finally found my church which was a pentecostal church a few years after that and I learned about being baptized and receiving the gift of the holy ghost and  what God gives through the holy ghost which  is the gift of speaking in tongues. I had never been baptized before or heard about speaking in tongues and I went to a revival at church and they spoke about it and how God loved us enough to die for us and there was a alter call and I had this feeling, like a warm feeling in my stomach and it was amazing and it was like God was telling its your time , the time to recieve the holy ghost and become new. So I went up there and the pastor told me to raise my hands and tell God I am sorry because at that time I had backslide from God and I knew I needed him back in my life so that day I surrendered all of me to the lord that day at the alter and the pastor said let the spirit move on you and let God just take control and he was like I feel the spirit all over you girl and at that moment it was like God was like BAM and I started speaking in tongues and a sense of peace shot all over me and it was like my heart was left there at the alter and it  was like God was telling me  "I know where you have been and how scared you have been for so long and what you have gone through and you do not need to go through that anymore, I am here and I will carry you every step of the way". That night I went home and told my husband what had happened and he was like something is different about you and even a glow is around you and I came to tell him what happened and about God's love and spirit is for him too and the gift of the holy ghost is too. So the next day at the revival he went and oh my goodness he went up the front and it was amazing he received the gift of the holy ghost and repented his sins. Then the pastor told us about being baptized, because we already were baptized by the spirit which was God's and could speak in tongues and the next step was water baptisim and we both got baptized that night and we have both changed our lives and are renewed by the grace of God. So if it can happen for me a girl who was always scared of everything and had anger all the time and could not let go of the past. A girl who sometimes did not want think this life was worth living that was told by people that I would never amount to anything, a mistake. Well I am here to tell you if  your looking or reading this , I someone here to say that my life is changed and I have a God, a father, a friend, a comforter that loves me and takes me as I am.  I have the holy ghost and I am glad about it, I have eternal life and I'm glad about it, I have jesus christ in my heart and I AM GLAD ABOUT IT! If your a person who is here to say oh God can not accept me I am a drug addict, a selfish person, a murder, a person who is addicted to pornography, anything . Well I am here to tell you your name is none of those things. You are a child of the one true king, like the song says and you can have a close relationship with Jesus today, not tomorrow , not a few weeks down the road, no Today! You just need to come out and admit your a sinner and need a saviour and you can get it. In John 3:16 it says for God  so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son and whos so ever believeth in him shall  have everlasting life. See it said who so ever believeth in him, so you can do it!  Anyone can have a new relationship with him today and can be baptized in jesus name and receive the wonderful gift of the holy ghost. Just talk to him and find the right church and start receiving the blessing that God has for you today. Thank you for reading this today and I hope I can hear you talk to others about your testiomony one day and learn how  God has changed your life. God bless you everyone!
