Christians!?

Question

What is your personal testimony?

Answer 1

I grew up in a Baptist Church, so I heard about Jesus most of my life. I even walked the aisle as a preteen and again as a teen-ager. However, I did not have the power to overcome some of the sins in my life and I walked away from Jesus and the Church. It was too hard to try to live a righteous life and do the things that I wanted to do, so I did the things I wanted to do.

Rather than be a hypocrite (by doing the things I did and going to church), I told God that I was through. That there had to be a better way than to get saved and then spend the rest of your life struggling against "the list of things you should not do".

After about 4 years, a roomate of mine was telling me about a church that his mother was going to where the power of the Holy Spirit was free to move. Having NEVER seen such a thing as a Baptist boy, I was curious.

We were both in college and his place was over a 2 hour drive. So, we did not go to his place until after several months (in the interim, several of our friends were going and being set free through the power of the Holy Spirit). When I finally went, I was ready to give up my fight with God if He would only show me what was real.

I saw people getting Healed in the name of Jesus, and filled with the Holy Spirit. I was too, soon after that.

I then graduated and worked in the oil field. Jobs were scarce, so as a Petroleum Engineer Graduate, I worked offshore as a Roustabout and then a Roughneck with many people that hated God, hated college graduates, and hated just about anybody.

The spirit of the Lord moved on that rig. I saw people being healed and miracles performed nearly everytime I was out there working. I ultimately got a job doing R&D for a company developing a new MWD tool.

After a bit of time, and after I was delivered from a single car accident where I ran into a Black Angus Cow in Northern Wyoming (killed the cow, totalled the truck, walked away without a scratch after a head on collision not wearing seatbelts or airbags), I wanted to leave. I wondered who God woke up to pray me out of that death.

There was a driller that was prompted by the Spirit to pray that I would not be hurt when I had left. He told me this after I returned and he asked what was up. It turned out that God didn't have to wake up anybody as this guy was already up. The wreck happened at around 1:30 in the morning.

I got into the environmental consulting field and have watched God do many miraculous things there too.

Answer 2

I attended a revival by one Rev. Walter St. Clair when I was 14 years old and was saved during the revival week. That was over forty years ago and I have never forgotten the moment or the experience.

So how has my walk with Christ progressed? Much like the following:

In the early part of his ministry, Paul said, ‘I am the least of the apostles,’ (1 Corinthians 15:9).

In the middle of his ministry, he said, ‘I am less than the least of all saints,’ (Ephesians 3:8).

At the end of his life, he said, ‘I am the chief of sinners,’ (1 Timothy 1: 15).

I find it interesting that the longer Paul walked with the Lord, the more he realized how far he was from Him. That’s always the way it is. The Pharisee, praying on the street corner said, ‘God, I thank thee, I am not as other men,’ while the true convert beat his breast and said, ‘God be merciful to me a sinner,’ (Luke 18:11-13).

Answer 3

they at the instant are not Jews by fact Jew's don't think the messiah has come yet. they have not got self assurance Jesus so believing in Jesus and asserting your Jewish of course contradicts one yet another.... that's unhappy that there are those Evangelist Christians that decision themselves "Jews". quit this custom now, your disgracing the two Judaism and Christianity.
