I have heard some pretty crazy testimonies on how people accepted Jesus Christ, and I want to know yours...big or small. I will put my testimony on how Jesus healed me...I really do not have one on how I was saved because I was saved when I was seven...but it is good none the less

well it starts about 5 years ago when my dad left my mom. Now, I really didn't know why he left her for a while, but I still hated him for it. I had such a strong bitterness towards him. However, I did what you are not supposed to do, keep it inside and not let anyone know how bad you felt. Then about 2 and 1/2 years ago I learned about the real reason why he left my mom instead of all the bogus reasons he would give me. He got a new girl friend and had one for a while before he left my mom, but we were still willing to take him back. I even met the girl before I knew who she was to my dad. If I met her when I knew I would have stabbed her to death or something like that. Now that I knew about this I had utter rage against my dad and would fantasize about killing him and his Girlfriend about every day. Such horrible ways that I cannot even begin to describe...after a while I would also think about killing myself.
No one knew how bad I felt at all,

that was mostly my fault for keeping it all in. Sure my mom knew I was sad and mad, but not to the extent that I was at. All I could say is Satan just loved how mad I was at him and how badly I wanted to kill him. I was convinced that I either had to kill him or kill myself.I couldnt kill another person so 3 months ago on December 26th I prayed to God," I really cannot take this anymore God, I pray that you forgive me for any sins I have commited and that which I am about to do, God if you are willing to give me the peace that you promise, send my mom down within the next minute or I will strangle myself" so I waited...30 seconds went by....40 seconds by...so on about 50 seconds I wrapped my belt around my neck and started to strangle myself...about 4 or 3 seconds left to go...my mom comes in, lol apparently my dad called and wanted to talk to me...if it wasn't for the person I hated most on earth, my mom would have been folding laundry and I would be dead right now...God used my

God used my enemy to save me...so I went to a Christain counselor and I learned that my unforgiveness is the root of my bitterness. I learned that I have to forgive my dad for what he did. Well I decided to give it a try...so we worked through it for about 2 months and by the end I had completely forgiven my dad...I let go and let God :) I know that God will deal with my dad, and anything that I would want to do is just destructive to myself. I have stopped going to counseling because I am completely healed...she said I am so impressed that you have come so far in 4 months" and I corrected her and said it was only 2 months and she was just shocked that I amde a recovery so quickly...
Now, I my own faith and personal walk has grown with God, and I see my dad growing closer to God every day...only God can take a hopeless situation and make it whole

A testimony is a personal witness of how God's influence your life. And how the Holy spirit has helped you to change from sin living to in victory and fullness in Jesus!
I have an appreciation for all the wonders of God's world, in which we live, and for showing my testimony in many differerent ways.
Your Light and everyday life are examples of how you get the testimony to others. When you talk about your "Sins" you also show how you repented of your sins. It is very personal. I chose to put my thought into a web site.
I believe a testimony is best given others as your own individual experience, told in a story ie, "Once I was a sinner and this is what happened to me."
The real purpose of a testimony is to show others how you experienced the miracle of God's Grace and Mercy. It should be written of told in such a way as to witness to others who may be going through similar things.
My witness or testimony is interwoven in my web ministry, as a way to tell others of what helped me. Below are great links showing evidence of a changed life. My Testimony is in the contents and sum of the things written on the web pages written as helps for others.
Please read and pass on...,
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained or the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more "I love you's." More "I'm sorry's."
But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute, look at it and really see it , live it and never give it back.
A good testimony but too late for her! (take heed). It is what we leave behind that counts.

Uhm. When I was in 6th grade, i had no idea who Jesus Christ was. Than, by winter break, my friend offered me to go to a winter retreat with him. I went because i thought for fun and all the excitement. But i was wrong. There i felt loved by others and especially by the pastor. I decided to come to that church. But my faith was going nowhere. I would stay back and fool around during sermons and praise. I called myself a "christian". Than 7th grade passed by like nothing. So it was winter again. I went to a retreat again. There for the first time i saw God's power. I saw people getting knocked out by the holy spirt I saw people crying busting out in tears and speaking tongue and all these crazy gifts from God. Than i asked myself? Is God real? I was always confused until the summer of 2006. I have faithfully attended this church till 8th grade. Than when 8th grade was starting i ditched lot and smoked and drank. My faith obviously went down. But God gave me an opputunrity, He decided to send me out to Indonesia during the summer of 06. I went and when i came back God gave me so much plans and dreams. My life changed 180 degree. God gave me lots of talents and saw how i was so important to God's eyes. Now, I am currently leading a North Korea Prayer group at my church and i am a praise leader and a mission team leader. I quit smoking, ditching, cussing, and drinking through the power of God. Now, this year God gave me a heart for Kenya, Africa. I am excited what God will do to me this year. And God told me to become a cop so i can protect and serve my people and change the nations. Amen.

Quit the baloney! I went through all that born again mumbo jumbo in the early 70's. It took me a month to realize that this was all a sham. I saw brainwashed fanatics going into weird seizures, and some, mumbling nonsense. This was such a turn-off to me, plus, I later realized that the Bible is a flawed man-made book that is full of contradictions.

My God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit came into my life about 12 years ago and alot of remarkable things that God has done but God did heal my Body and i'm very thankful for that i had blood coming out of my backside and the Spirit of God started dealing with me to pray about it and in the meantime he started dealing with me about women ministers i didn't believe in them and God ask me who are you to judge my anointed people and i said i'm nobody God he said don't look on the outside listen to the Spirit and he started giving me scripters to read and then he delt with me to go to a church in a local town it is a very Spiritual church and a sister in the Lord was preaching that night and at that time i worked underground in the mines and my knees were killing me and she walked over to me and smack both of my knees and said i come against that in the name of Jesus then she said the blood you are seeing is going to stop and the Holy Spirit welled up inside of me and i knew it was done and i praised God, this woman and i had never met before and i have never seen her since.

I went up and obtained stored whilst I was once now not quite ancient sufficient to realise all that it entailed, approximately age four. I don't forget I was once gambling with my puppies sooner or later and I began speakme in Spanish (I suggestion). I suggestion to myself that any individual might feel I was once loopy for speakme like that so I under no circumstances did it once more......Until many, a long time later I spoke in tongues. I was once raised Baptist (they do not speak approximately items of the spirit) however I knew there was once extra to the bible than that however under no circumstances determined it till I went to a revival. Then the Holy spirit introduced again to my remembrance the day I was once a little one and spoke within the heavenly language. God has under no circumstances allow pass of me even if I have walked clear of Him.
