What is your testimony?
We sang the song “Testimony” this week in worship, and as I sang and listened to the lyrics, I thought of all the Lord has brought me through. He has had a plan, purpose, and destiny for me since I entered this world. The enemy knew the Lord had something special in mind, and he has continuously tried to take me out. At 4 years old, I didn’t listen to my mama, and I got behind her car, and was run over. Thinking it was a dog, she pulled back up, running me over again. Praise Jesus I only had a broken leg, but was in the hospital for 3 days, and had a cast for a couple of months. I was always drawn to the Lord. I was raised in church, but never understood how to be saved. I drifted into life, and met my now husband, Robert. We dated a while, and I got pregnant at 19 with our son, Robert Eli. Scared to death what my dad was going to say, I never thought of how I disappointed my heavenly Father. We did marry and we struggled. Robert surrendered first to the Lord, and I followed. I saw the change in him and I wanted the peace he had. I went forward and was baptized, but really didn’t feel complete. We continued in church, still struggling. Life issues, kid issues, marriage issues. When the Lord called us into ministry, and told us to step out on faith to start this ministry, I admit, I was scared. It was the unknown. But that is what faith is in Christ. Stepping out into the unknown. When we both put God first in our lives and our marriage, life became content in Jesus Christ. God called us to start Grace Fellowship Ministry in December of 2019 in our little garage that Robert worked out of to support our family. In May of 2020, I told Robert I wanted him to baptize me again, in the name of Christ Jesus. I knew I wasn’t complete, and I knew I needed to surrender completely. So on May 10th, 2020, we went to Manito lake and Robert baptized me. It was pretty chilly when we went into the water. I walked out to Robert, turned around, and as soon as he asked me , “are you ready for this?”, I shook my head and the warmth of the Holy Spirit started in my toes and filled me to my head. That day was amazing. I came out of that water truly saved and made a new creation in Christ. Has it been easy? No, certainly not. Jesus never promised it would be. He told us the way to life is narrow and difficult. It is full of sorrows, hurt, pain, obstacles, rejection, loneliness, persecution and mockery. But Jesus Christ is right there with you. He is fighting the battle that tries to over take us. He has the victory for us. We have to be armored up in HIS armor and walk in the fruit of His Spirit as we walk with Him. I have my moments. God has me in a season right now to draw me closer to Him. But God has a plan. His way is perfect. His way is CHRIST JESUS. The only WAY, the only TRUTH, and the LIFE. I wanted to share my testimony with you all today. Christ has a perfect plan, purpose and destiny for each of you. If you haven’t surrendered to His calling on you life, today is the day. We are not promised tomorrow. Seek Him and LIVE! He will turn all those tests of life into a TESTIMONY of HIM.
God’s blessings to you!
Have a blessed week!
