Hi,
In brief, I was saved at age 20. I am now 50. Over the years the Lord has blessed me and lifted me up infront of all my enemies. He has brought bad upon them and good upon me and my family. He saved my daughter from a near fatal car accident when she got hit head on by a drunk driver, He miraculously saved my best friend's son from death when he put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. He has done so much in my life I can't even begin to tell you. At this point in my life without Him I would have been in a terrible way. I was addicted to alcohol when I was young. I may even have been dead by now. But now my life is wonderful, God blessed me with a loving Christian husband and we have 2 daughters and 5 adorable grandchildren we dote on. When I look at my life now and I see how He has lifted me from being a very weak damaged person to who I am today the scripture comes to mind where the bible says, "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. The old things have passed away, behold I make all things new."

Hello, Cindy:
I will be 67 this year and that marks the point in my life where have been a believer for 33 1/2 years. I will never go back to the previous half as Satan and the world have nothing to offer.
I have done missionary work in Mexico, and am now in the tropics, doing what I love most, working for the Master.
Jesus is Lord, and He calls us when we are ready for Him. It is His Spirit working within that changes lives and fits us for residency in Heaven. Can hardly wait.
Because I spent years studying mathematics, it was Bible math that proved to me God's existance, and that is why I recommend the Bible code on YA because it proves Jesus is the Messiah. Select http://abiblecode.tripod.com
Blessings, and AGAPE, Balaam

The reason that I am now here is because of the Awesome Grace and Mercy of God. Jesus said, "Because I live, you also will live. (Jn 14:19)"
I am here today because of Grace of God. Let me tell you, each and every moment i take my breath, I have a testimony. So this testimony lasts till Eternity even until I meet my Jesus in mid-air.
God bless you Cindy.

I am going through a lot of family issues right now but I want to thank the Lord because He is helping me be strong. God is my Teacher, Healer, Redeemer, Savior, and Friend. He has done so much for me. He always loves me and he loves everyone else just as much. He is so kind and patient.

I have loved and follow the Lord for about 30 years. However, I want to give you my brother's testamony because He is no longer with us to give it for himself.
My brother was born in 1946 in Texas. He grew up in a loving family. Around the age of 19, he met some people who were into marijuana and other drugs. He joined them in their partying and drugs for fun.
By the age of 20, he was hooked on the hard stuff. The friends either moved on or grew up. My brother didn't. He lived a lonely, drug addicted life for 35 years in all.
Then, after so many years of hateing him and rejecting him, God spoke to me. He told me to pray for my brother, stop criticizing him but not to condone his behavior and that He would change him through my obedience and my love for my brother and Him.
The funniest thing happened. My brother was arrested for the first time in 35 years for delivering and selling drugs. He had been arrested for other things but for drugs this time. By that time I was the only friend that he had.
He called me often from jail. This time he never asked me to come and get him out which was unusual. He wrote me letters and wanted to know about God and Jesus. He held bible study group at the jail.
When it came time for him to go to court, the lawyer told me that the judge that was preceeding was very tough. He was worried. My brother asked for the judge to send him to a Christian rehab called Teen or Life Challenge. He was looking at a 15 year sentence in prison.
The Lawyer was worried when we recessed. I told the lawyer that I was not worried. God was handeling this situation. When we returned to the court room, the PROSECUTING attorney asked the judge to let him go to the rehab!
The judge sentenced my brother to 6 more months in jail, and 18 months of Christian rehab. He came to know Jesus as his Lord and his personal Savior. When he got out, my husband and I bought him an inexpensive car and he started working and was appreciative to Jesus for saving himl.
My brother passed away two years later. Lung cancer from smoking dope. He had pneumonia and the doctors could do nothing for him. He left this world, saved. God is so good......

I've been a christian for a long time. I'm only now learning what that does and does not mean.
I'm a little angry with the institution of Christianity however God is showing me who he really is, not what man says he is.

Saved at 3. I was a bit older before I became certain probably because of the attitude of the religion I was raised in but I am certain now. God bless you.
