Freddie's Testimony-Looking back all the way to my childhood years when my mom would teach us about Jesus and would send my brothers and I to Sunday school. For most of my life I just knew about Him, but didn’t really know for sure if He really did exist. All of that changed for me the day that I found myself so lost and so alone in the deepest darkness of sin. For nearly 18 years of my life I was
a slave to Satan. Bound by a life that consisted of drugs, alcohol, gang activity, in and out of jail, and prison. In the year of 2006 I had become very addicted to methamphetamines (ice). I tried many times to stop using this drug, but it seemed like the more I tried to stop the more addicted I became. I grew so tired and miserable without hope and peace in my heart and one day without knowing how to pray or what to say, I called out to God in Jesus name. I asked Jesus to help me. I asked Him to make Himself real to me. To prove to me that He really did exist by delivering me from my drug addiction and He did. now that I don’t crave or desire to do drugs, or anything else that I used to do in darkness. Praise God! Psalms 145:18 -The Lord is ready to help all those who call out to Him. He helps those who really mean it when they call out to Him. Thank You Jesus! Belinda's Testimony- Psalms 40:2 The Lord reached down and took me out of the slimy pit, out of the miry clay and set my feet upon the rock and established my steps. My marriage was in chaos. My husband was so addicted to drugs that it completely changed him as well as myself. M**h became his God. He promised me it would never control him and it ended up controlling him in every which way possible. I soon started supporting him, standing by his side. I thought,” well it's better for him to be here than in the streets.” I would see my husband smoke this evil drug called Ice and I could feel the evilness around me. Everywhere my husband went, evilness followed. I soon became a single mother with three kids and felt I had no hope or direction in life. My heart had been broken and shattered to pieces. As much as I loved him, I hated him. My heart became calloused and bruised and didn't trust anyone. My life was full of misery and depression. I was tired of our kids seeing me this way. One night I fell to my knees and pleaded with God and said “Lord, I'm tired of living like this! Please relieve me from this pain and take me out of this pit I'm in. I just want to feel happy again.” The Lord answered me and said “ I need time to work in his life like I need to work in yours.” One month later my husband and I surrendered our lives to Christ and since then, we have been allowing God to use us to do His will. My God answered my prayers. He took us out of the slimy pit and set our feet on a solid foundation. Praise the Lord!
