My name is Austin Zamora and this is what I can thank God for. At the age of 7, during Spring Revival at Milligan Ridge Baptist Church I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior or so I thought. That night for some reason I paid the closest attention I ever had before. Come Invitation, I done what I thought I was doing. I even followed in Baptism. My parents would soon drop out of church and me being the young age follwed. I did not attend church. Around 4 years later my grandfather passed on. He loved the Lord with all of his heart. And I knew I didnt. The night before my grandfather's funeral, I realized I was on the path to never see my grandpa again. That night I really came to know and love Jesus as my Lord ans Savior. At his funeral I knew not to fear for I would see him again. I did not make this public until I joined a local church. My parents have yet to join the church and come to know the WONDERFUL Lord, but I am not giving up. I want all my family to know our Lord. I can thank

PRAISE GOD, AUSTIN! You know the angels dance in heaven at the conversion of any person. God bless you and your courage is inspiring since you did it publicly. Jesus is smiling. Now go find some real authority to teach you and grow you spiritually, and get out of these demon filled chat rooms, little brother. There's little authority here to help you.
I just troll these sites to state truth and scripture because God's word does not return to Him empty.

Christ had so much more to say about this life than the next. Your testimony is great, but what has Christ done for you in this life? He's awesome! He came to give us Abundant Life. You do not come to know and love Jesus in one night. We start as 'babes in Christ' and grow up to maturity from there. I'm glad you love the Lord and wish you well on your journey as you follow Him.

God bless you. Keep praying for your parents, but just because they haven't joined an organized church does not necessarily mean they do not know the Lord.

Well, it's not exactly earth-shaking, is it?
How about this?
"Visualization: I see upon a vast ridge, a cavalry lined, patiently waiting. They gaze into the Valley of Death, in which all of us dwell. The valley is cast in shadow and is colorless. They see evil funneling across the land from village to village like a sick black river made of thousands of demons, which to them are but ants. From the ridge, they can hear our distant cries of anguish as we are raped and pillaged by this evil. Our cries, however, do not move them into any sort of action.
At each horseman's side is a woman and a child. The child holds the horse's reins. The woman bears the arms for the knight, readying for the time the battle cry will sound. They hear our cries, and feel our anguish, but greater for them is the love and respect they have for their Leader, who is God Himself. It is He who will sound the battle cry, and each and every person on the ridge, including the horses, stay absolutely still, trusting that He will give them the signal at the correct time.
From moment to moment, they are poised for battle, so ready are they to leap to our aid, yet they hold themselves in eerie stillness, so that they will not miss hearing God's voice. Like a bow that is pulled back to let fly the arrow...God's aim is true. They place their whole trust in him, and do not question why they cannot charge into the valley yet.
They know, that when the time comes, the enemy will be totally annihilated."
