Last night Ethan Accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior!!!Here is his testimony he wrote this morning ⬇️
Proverbs 28:26 "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered."
This reminds me of when I was an atheist. I trusted that my logic knew what had to be known, and I had rejected God. I was a fool, an absolute fool. After accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, the keeper of my eternal soul, I know what this verse means. For most of my life I walked my own path; a path that nearly lead to self destruction. All I felt was bitterness and anger.
While born and raised in a Christian household, I held disdain and enmity towards our Lord and Savior, as well as most who practiced any form of religious views. I was a fool who did not know of what I spoke. Again, I have to thank my Uncle Patrick for bringing me to this church, and Pastor Chuck, of whom walked me through the prayer to officially accept our Lord, Jesus Christ as my savior. God guided me to be introduced to this amazing family I never knew until now, through my uncle, and helped me through the prayer to accept officially, Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I cannot say how much my uncle and Pastor Chuck have inspired me, making my faith much more solid and palpable in how I now feel. Through God, my uncle introduced me to this church, and through God did Pastor Chuck help me step into a new path of salvation. I feel it was God's will that I had to lose my faith, just to gain it renewed and stronger than it has ever been through my entire life.
Living as an atheist was pure torture in all mind, body, and soul alike. I never knew that I was suffering until last night, when I had a long and very fulfilling conversation with Pastor Chuck about the Scripture. I cannot put into words how light I felt after our talk and the prayer that saved my eternal soul. I was shaking after it, barely able to contain my emotions. It feels as if an entire mountain was taken off my shoulders, and I was able to finish my job at work completely, whereas just a day ago, I would not have been able to finish what I had done last night at work.
For so long I only relied my own heart to guide me, and It led to nothing but pain and suffering. But now im allowing God to guide me, and my energy was non-dwendeling and powerful, as if I had slept restfully for many days before work, even though I didn't have anywhere near that much sleep.
I feel like now im starting to take my first steps as someone who walks wisely, and upon the end of my journey here, I shall be delivered to the Lord of whom I love and accept with all my heart.
