I had to write my abbreviated testimony for someone so here I am sharing with you!
I was raised in a home that proclaimed Jesus as Lord. I attended church on a regular basis. When I was 13 I came to know for certain that Jesus died for me personally, therefore I said the sinner’s prayer. From that point, I grew in the faith, and learned more about my Lord. The next 9 1/2 years would bring a strong current of struggles, temptations, and sin, with fragments of pursuing my Lord. This season left me mentally out of whack, and trapped. It was like I was on a spiritual bungee cord, where I could never go past a certain point. I knew the Bible said I was free not to sin, but I believed I was the exception, and that freedom was not possible for me. Praise God I was wrong. One of the most profound seasons in my life, began when I realized that God wanted freedom and abundance for my life. Therefore, I began to change my thinking. I allowed God to reveal that I had been held captive, by the father of lies, Satan. Since then God has given me the opportunity to experience true repentance and real freedom. I now know I am equipped with authority and discernment to come against the devil’s schemes in my life, and live the life of freedom for which I was created.
You know what is so awesome... That everyday I learn something new, and everyday I am being changed more and more in to the likeness of my creator. Every experience and interaction provides an opportunity to learn something great and grow.
So what is your testimony? We each have a great one. I would love to hear yours.
Remember God says...
"For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Have a splendid day!!
