My Testimony
Posted : 17 Sep, 2010 03:07 PM
I am posting my testimony because I have had several e-mails lately asking me to share my testimony.
I was brought up Catholic and consequently in my experience not knowing anything concerning the word of God and the lord.
When I had my encounter with the lord, I used to say I did not believe in God, did not care if he existed, so consequently was not looking for him either.
I had a divine encounter similar to the Apostle Paul, early one morning in the summer of 1985. I was at my place of business at approximately 5 a.m. in the morning after being there all night, I was standing under neath a car I had been working on, and I was as in a daze, when I heard in an audible voice You know what you have to do, I heard this voice audibly five times altogether. I believe it was after the second time of hearing the words you know what you have to do, that I came out from under the car and went looking around the shop hollering who is in here and looking in every nook and cranny not finding anyone in the building. I went back under the car just standing there and again I heard audibly you know what you have to do, I don't remember which time of hearing those words that I broke, but I did, I started sobbing uncontrollably, to the point the blue jeans I had on were soaking wet. This voice never said who they where nor anything else to me, but I did respond with these words I guess if you are I will. I had no idea what had happened to me but I called a woman that was working for me around 6:00 a.m. in the morning just crying uncontrollably saying I need to go to church, why what is wrong with you, I don't know I replied, but I need to go to church. I went and took a shower and afterwords sat down at the table reading the bible just on fire, saying wow this is so good.
So yes I do understand the grace of God, the love of God, I know in my heart how I came into the family of God, I understand repentance and how it applies to the new birth.
It did not take long to run into those that said they where Christians but for some reason always saying the word of God does not mean what it says, but thank God that same voice is talking today confirming the written word of God.
I don't know why I was always gun ho for the truth, the word of God, but from the first day, and ever since he is still leading me into his truth. For instance I was not saved for thirty days when I heard on the inside of me you are not believing with your heart, and of course he started teaching concerning about the heart of man verses the mind of man and how it is at enmity with God.
Would you believe I have never been able to find one christian on this site that knows what the heart of man is and what it means to believe with the heart.
When you say these kind of things, many assume you are elevating yourself above others, and that is farthest from the truth. I know the will of God is the same for all men, and I know from the beginning how particular the lord is about how we handle his word, but so many seem to believe it is ok to think as you will, or as they have been taught, it is normal to have your own opinion, and yet all is very contrary to scripture.
None the less The lord is Good to all and desirous that we come to knowledge of the truth, and become one with him.
Ps. Sorry about my writing skills but I did my best and all to the Glory of God.
