BACKGROUND
Born Again Testimony
I was raised in a church going family. We went to church in our small town every Sunday. When I was 7 years old I went with my father to confession for the very first time. At that time my father told me that I could have a personal relationship with Jesus. He explained that I could talk to Jesus just like a friend. I already understood that Jesus died on the cross to save me from my sins so that I might have eternal life.
Before I read God's word I would tell little white lies, maybe cheat a little, even let an item go by that the cashier didn't scan (which I knew was stealing). These little sins didn't seem to matter before reading God's Word for myself. After reading what God was telling me in His Word - I realized how wrong these little sins were and began to change my behavior. This was a very slow evolutionary process that took several years. Then a major event occurred in the year 2000. I went on my first Women's Retreat. I didn't know that during the retreat God had told the prayer warriors (who were praying over the retreat) to pray specifically for me. During the retreat I felt like crying but I didn't want to cry in front of everyone. The second night I broke down and cried and asked God to mold me and play beautiful music for Him through me. Then I felt God come down from Heaven and wrap His spiritual arms around me - and, I was BORN AGAIN! It was a spiritual birth where my body became indwelled with the Holy Spirit. Now my spirit can relate to God's Spirit (John 4:24). I do not know if I was saved before this experience, but I know that I am saved now. |
