The Father of all existing and of all creation. I remember when people forgot about The True GOD that gave grace to humanity and worlds to come. I also remember
Those who neglected and rejected the
Lord for sinful lives for lustful flesh. I remember all those beings who mistakes GOD For Evil during the time
Of plague in the world because disobedience to GOD who gives life and life more abundantly. I remember the time when GOD saved me from all
My enemies by giving me the strength
To overcome the world. I know my reward be with me in heaven. Meaning
Salvation and Restoration of The Temple Of GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.AMEN.
For the Book of Life will show your whole life. I had a after death. I saw the Book.
I also battle with idolatry, especially the temptation to overindulge in video games - by God's grace, I've stayed away from video games for over a year and a half (praise God), but the temptation to play a "little" is there, which almost always has turned into overindulgence and idolatry - and the temptation seems to be growing more and more. I think if the Lord gave me clarity, to see things the way He wants me to, and to love the things He loves, and hate the things He hates, it would greatly help.
Does God look at us as being evil when we relapse or pick up that alcohol during out weakness see us from our heart n soul and allow us to be in heaven, or does he damn all Addict and alcoholic.ppl to hell?
How sad my life became! No more fancy homemade dresses from Granny. No more fairy tales from Grandpa. I became very shy. The older I got, the more shy I became until, I would turn red if someone even looked at me. My sister and I started attending the Nazarene Church with our neighbors. The only friend I had in Sunday school was a crippled girl who did not make me feel inferior. In fact I picked out all my friends by looking to see if they had a right to be shy too. (too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short) How Shallow!
By the time 2 other brothers had been born, I had decided that I wanted to help the unfortunate, the lame, the weak, the sickly. In fact I wanted to become a missionary nurse. I became a born-again Christian at about the age of 12.
As my friends at school began to fill out a little, I noticed I was the one who was tall and skinny. I became more shy than ever afraid I would never have a boyfriend, never marry . . .
After graduation from high school, I did become a registered nurse. I wanted to witness to folks on their deathbeds so they would not miss Heaven. However, my personality did a 360 degree turn. Now I thought I was pretty, just the right size, the favorite nurse of everyone, etc. I ran into some issues with some sinful boyfriends. Please dont act this way. I broke my sweet mama's heart for a while until I returned to Christ who amazingly forgave me and set me on the path toward righteousness.
When I was a little girl I thought I had a normal family at least it seemed that way to me. My dad was a minister , yet he was given to the demon of alcoholism. My mom worked like a dog to make ends meet. I had 3 other sisters that was older than me who quickly married so it pretty much left me alone . I grew up being to myself a lot. I got to know God because my father introduced him to us at a early age then I got to know him on my own as I became a young lady. Satan started the lie of telling me I wasn't good enough early on in life. I never felt comfortable around people so when I hung out with so called friends I started to drink just to feel like I could be comfortable in my own skin . Because when I drank I became someone else and not my quiet , awkward self. This went on for the first few years of my adult life. Then I started to date and the first real boyfriend I had was a monster from hell who cheated all the time and told me I would never be anything and made me feel like trash and not to mention the abuse I tried to hide from everyone ( I married this guy) So I spent many years in deep depression and isolated from life. I got a divorce and eventually married another guy pretty much just as bad as the first guy but God got me out of that relationship too.Then the devil put a spirit of rejection on my life that I had to fight through for many years. It was like every where I went no one seemed to like me no matter what. So I went further into depression. I spent a lot of time praying and fasting. I am 48 yrs old now and I just gotten to the place where I know who I am in Jesus and I feel good about my relationship with Christ. I don't drink and I have gotten rid of all those toxic friendships . I spend my time with my 2 daughters and the lord and I believe God for a kingdom marriage . God has been working in my life all along because through all that I went through he kept me safe and in my right mind.
I have been seeking God for many years , started from ground zero , Knowing nothing except that the scriptures (the bible) is the truth . God gave me that unshakable truth .
Now I read only the bible for a source of truth , after seeking help from other books , they only created confusion.
But God has always been open to my prayers when they are according to his will . All the selfish prayers get a NO or silence . He truly hears prayer and sees everything.
I have experienced that Jesus really will care for all my problems if I take them to him in prayer and trust Him with it .
He has never failed . Sometimes He changes me with his grace to endure the problem , or changes things miraculously .
Have faith in God and be at peace . Read the Bible . Amen
The answers that I seek are either by prayer, or from Scripture...
However, I write to you for your opinion; so please read the following:
My wife and I have been married for 27 years. She is 55 years of age and stricken with Alzheimers Dementia and now resides in a Personal Care Home.
I believe that it was manifested by my sins and tempting God and Satan to do their worst to me.
We had a real love after finally finding each other through Gods intervention.
In recent years; our relationship was suffering for many reasons, no blame to either of us but to both of us. I could not suffer my wife to leave her and I could not bear her to suffer the rejection.
So, in my mind; I thought that it would be easier on me and my wife to lose her spouse by death rather than by rejection. So I tempted God and Satan to do your worst.
Then it came to pass that I got an infection in my brain and tried to ride it out to death, but reasoning with myself that this may not bring death but rather life with an infliction, So I finally went to the hospital and the surgeon performed a cranial and then three months of intravenous antibiotics.
I did not fulfill the curse that I wished for.
Shortly thereafter, my wife was stricken with Alzheimers Dementia.
Now the ambiguous loss and the guilt that I feel because of my continued tempting of God and Satan to do your worst to me.
Well now; it has come to pass the worst curse, only my wife has become a victim of my sins.
I had recently become born again so that I could repent my sins and pray for my wife and ask God to perform a miracle and remove the demons from my wife and make whole again.
In conclusion;
I had a dream and a clear voice said to me "This is you cross to bear"
When I looked to the internet to find a meaning for this phrase, the first example displayed was;
"when a family member is diagnosed with Alzheimers, this is your cross to bear."
Are my prayers lost?
As time went on, we now know why God wanted us to have this house. We moved to a small town and between 2 good sized small cities. We started doing ministry to the local senior center. There was our church denomination in those 2 small cities. 18 miles in both direction. We truly believe that God did have a hand in all this. May God give you the love and grace that he has bless us with.

I would drown myself in alcohol everyday after work. I was introduced to every kind of drug, but when I turn 26,
my brother told me to try heroin. immediately I thought, at least I won't have these hangover's anymore from
alcohol. but then I endured the worst addiction I've ever experienced. for three years it took to get off it.
in 2005 I was homeless on the streets of Santa Monica California, sleeping at the courthouse hoping to see a
judge about a ticket. 3 days without sleep I started crying, I found myself crying out to the Lord Jesus.
then I found a magazine from the Salvation Army, and I opened it and it had a picture of Jesus talking with a
child. this picture touched me, and all of a sudden I found myself walking to Venice California,someone along the
way referred me to the Bible Tabernacle Church near Venice beach. I met a man named Rico there, he told
me to come back in an hour and you can have dinner and spend the night at the men's house. so the next morning, I
met with another person. and he evaluated my skills, and told me I can join the ministry program. the next
morning I was told to read the Bible, I had received the Holy Spirit that morning,and a week later I got baptized
at the church. from then on I always depend on my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. never drugs or alcohol.
Fortunately, some new influences came into my life and slowly, question by question I had began being answered. I began filling the holes in my faith and I began feeling more hopeful about life. I'm grateful for everyone who followed God's nudging to come walk with me and offer support, even if for a short time. I believe God can use people to be blessings in other people's lives. And I was a recipient of that. I seek to pay it forward. I'm imperfect and still hit bumps in the road, but try my best to follow Jesus, love God and love my neighbor.
I also realized life isn't about me being happy. God doesn't exist for that. He's not a genie in a bottle there to serve me. I'm not entitled to anything, despite what this culture brainwashes people into believing. However, when I shift my focus onto loving God and loving others and deciding to be content, I naturally become far happier and satisfied with my life. Interesting how that works.
I was doing great at the job but my wife just couldn't find her way in the work field and was slipping away from being a wife/friend/sister, in the lord due to her not being able to fit in somewhere doing some kind of work, although she didn't have to go to work since the lord had blessed me with a good annual income to provide for the both of us,but she needed something to keep her busy and just couldn't find anything. I started to notice changes with her and odd behavior's happening , so as time continued to pass I just kept praying the lord will help her and guide her, but she just couldn't pull it together . Her friends were not Christians and she was falling back into drugs and drinking. I didn't know how to handle it and the churches we were attaining didn't care enough to help.
It was on a Sunday early evening when I got the call from my mother in law saying to me that Debbie had died, this is when the real story of my life begins, since that day I began to fall myself back into old habits and began to pursue DEATH to be with my Debbie. I did what I could do , to get to the grave and so I make a long story short because there are so so many words to add to the story here and to explain all of my experiences, all I can say at this juncture is if my story can be worth telling on your web-site...

I very much enjoy learning about other peoples experiences, or Testimonies, of how and what the Lord has done in their lives. God wants us to share our Testimonies. Anyone can take their time and type their Testimony on their own computer. Save it. Work on it until you get it all finished. Then just copy and paste it here in the Testimony section.
Then you will have a link you can e-mail, or text, to anyone who would be interested in it. Better to post it somewhere than nowhere. Sharing your experiences to help others gain faith in the Lord.
God Bless everyone.
Just as Jesus came to rescue the demoniac hiding in the tombs, Jesus rescued me. By then I was becoming suicidal but, one night, as I held a gun to my head I thought "then what?" and fear made me put the gun away. That's when I called on God, in ignorance because I did not understand the gospel, hoping against hope that there was a God because I had said for so long "bah, there is no God!" my soul was in total darkness. Hoping that He would help me. May this confession serve as testimony to the goodness of God because He saved me in spite of my blasphemes, the corruption that my life had become. I did not deserve God's mercy nor His salvation yet He began to heal my soul, to bring comfort to me. He brought Christians into my life who shared God's word which convicted me until I openly admitted "I am a sinner". I said that to Ron Norton when he asked if I was a Christian. He admitted that he was a sinner and showed me Ephesians 2;8,9 in his pocket bible. I finally understood: our salvation is a gift and not by our well doing because Jesus suffered the penalty for our sins at the cross.
Bless you Lord Jesus and may all who read this testimony be encouraged to trust in you!
