The following is my personal testimony presented to our church congregation prior to my Baptism on February 13, 2011:
My name is Glen Beck. I first accepted Jesus Christ into my life back in College. It wasn’t until later in life, however, that a series of events led me to truly make the commitment to walk with Christ as a believer. In other words, it is a testimony to God’s profound love that he took my commitment more seriously than I did.
Like so many believers, it took the storm of tragedy to lead me to a life of faith and to walk with a boldness that only God can provide. My father took his life, I experienced a divorce from an abusive 18 year marriage, was sent to prison, lost the companies I had worked so hard to build and the income required to meet both my business and personal obligations. By earthly standards, I had lost virtually everything that had taken a lifetime to build.
Today, I am blessed with an incredible wife and marriage, a supportive and loving family, and have started a Christian-based business helping to serve various ministries within the local community and throughout the United States. God has blessed my obedience in ways I couldn’t have even begun to imagine a year ago. My life is a living example of God’s promise to us in Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
My decision to be baptized is just a small facet of my obedience to our Lord. The shear act of appearing in front of an audience this size is difficult to say the least. In some small way, this is my opportunity to thank God publicly for His grace and kindness and, hopefully, compel at least one of you to consider doing the same.
I knew Christ as a child but did not really come to the understanding I have now till a young woman. My husband and I held fellowships in our home for many years. Eventually we left the ministry we had been affiliated with but continued our home gatherings. 7 years ago my husband got cancer. He was healed but three years later, feeling cocky, he fell out of fellowship, even started to get “high” smoking weed with an old buddy. This was really crazy because part of his cancer was in his lungs and he made a vow to God that he would never get high again. Eventually he fell ill again and fought quite the battle for two more years. At the end of his life were many miracles including coming back to God and Jesus Christ. During this time we prayed with many people from all over the country. A believer friend introduced us to a couple who were fighting the same battle; the wife had stage 4 breast cancer. Though we had never met, the four of us spoke and prayed for one another. Then Annemarie died, 11 days later Jonathan died (we do believe their spirits rest with God till Christ returns). James and I continued to speak as support to one another; he was living in CA, and then moved back to Texas, I was in Manhattan. We never met, we never saw photos. God certainly had a plan. Three months to the day that Jonathan died, James called and asked if he could call me each night to read the bible to me. YES! that Texan accent was doing something. We spoke for 40 nights during which time God was knitting our hearts together. Who knew you could still love the person you lost, grieve and fall in love all at the same time. James moved to New York by that summer. We are now together for over two years. Yes we continued to grieve, we would talk to each other about our loved ones, we still do, but we also found the love we had for each other continued to grow as our lives grew together. What a blessing to have each other and to build a new life on the foundation of the word. I had never been on a blind date and had been married to Jonathan for 26 years. Well, God arranged that date! JD James
I am one of many who have a testimony like this, I professed faith in Christ at an early age, when I was 13, I am now 55 years of age and can say that Christ has always been faithful to me, and there were many times I was not very faithful to him and also many times when I was faithful. All times that I was lukewarm or backslidden, it was I who was away, not the Savior and Lord who loves me. All I needed was to confess my sins and failures, repent, and follow Christ as best I could. Anything short of our best is failure. There is no work of righteousness I can do that will earn salvation, that has been done already by Christ, my salvation depends on what Christ did for me by shedding His blood for me and giving His life on the cross to pay our sin debt and turn God’s wrath away. The life I have in Christ, the obedience and service I now render as I walk in faith, is not to earn salvation, but reasonable service. Rom 12:1&2. When I fall short, I am forgiven through Christ, and start anew following Him. That is what all of us do as we go through our life here. What I have learned through the years is that true Christianity is a life trusting and following Christ, walking as He taught us to walk in the Bible. A true believer is one that has been changed; they live a life that is different than their old sinful life, because Christ lives in them. There is a simple saying I personally use that is proved by scripture. True faith means a changed person, if our faith does not change us, then we have no faith. That famous verse, Eph 2:8&9, tells how we are saved, “by grace”, “not of works”. However, that same verse also explains, “through faith”. Jesus said “Ye must”, not “Ye should”, in John 3:3&7. James 2:26 also explains saving faith. I hope that there is no person who sees controversy in that. My faith rests totally in Christ, and I put my life and trust in Him. I hope we can share our faith and testimony to help us all mature in Christ! Thanks for allowing me to share with you! Billy B
I was raised by a single mom of three to know that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior from as early as I can remember. Went to Church in the Bible belt buckle Sunday morning (Sunday school and Church), Sunday night, Wednesday night plus choir practice night because my mom was the church pianist.
Learned a lot ABOUT God…at the age of 9 gave my life to Jesus and was do gooder til the age of 16 when I went prodigal for 5 years. In the fall of 1989 Our Father after seeing me wallow in a life of sin and shame…met me at the lowest of lows and embraced me and began to heal my life and put a calling on my life to prepare His Way with a joyful but urgent awareness that this place is not our in light of eternity I a very blessed husband and father of 3 goes forward with this ONLY reason the Apostle Paul said he was chief of all sinners was that I hadn’t been born yet. I have had to receive forgiveness from the utmost degree and therefore am so in awe of God’s Grace and Mercy and out of love have answered His Calling upon my life! Went to Bible School(s) and for some reason was lead into eschatological studies.
A few years ago and after much praying and saying “Father why did you have me study eschatology and yet give me no gift to teach?” It was during a very stormy night that a young meteorologist came on the TV and began to urgently warn people to take shelter that God spoke to my “Tim, you see that young man who has studied meteorology? Yes Father, well that young man is not teaching what he learned he is taking the information He has learned and with great passion warning all who will listen to run for cover and that is why I had you go to bible school to study what you did and your assignment is to be going into your assigned world sounding the alarm 2 all who will listen to flee the wrath to come and to exhort the body to wake up A rise and Shine!
To prepare His Way for His Imminent Calling of His Bride by going into the highways and byways of my world one act of obedience at a time and when I stumble…joyfully aware that 70 x 7 I am told to forgive a day BECAUSE I’ve been forgiven more.
Hope to be a blessing in my outreach here as part of the Christian Blog family in Christ as a fellow writer/blogger and lifelong student of eschatology
In Christ,

Raised in a Christian family, I accepted Jesus as my Savior at about 7 years old. As I grew, I had times of drawing close to God and also times of straying. God’s strong hands have always gripped me firmly and by the time I reached my adult years, I was confident of my path in His will. While there are still dry times and times of asking questions, His Word is and has been my ultimate guide to actions, decisions, and thought-patterns.
I have been active in the same church for over thirty years, serving as an Elder for a number of years, and continuing to serve as a Worship Leader today. My profession is in the music business, so my heart is also in that area of ministry. God’s generosity in giving opportunities to minister in areas for which I have a passion is not taken lightly. His blessings abound.
My claim today is that I am a sinner, saved solely by His Grace. I’m still learning, still wondering, still seeking. I don’t yet have all the answers and don’t anticipate that I will get those until the day I stand before my Savior in Heaven. I’ll keep working at it until then.
My name is Christine and I came to Christ over 6 years ago, am I there yet … No but everyday I pray that I will do better that I will become more Christ-like and that my walk with Him will get closer. I have learned a lot on my road, like He has never left me. Even in the darkest of my life, even when I was so filled with sin that I could not even love myself He was there reaching for me and whispering love into me. I ran from Christ for a very long time, I convinced myself or better yet the devil convinced me that I was to far gone for anyone to love me or even forgive me. That devil can be cunning and he had far to much power over my life. But then the day came when I had been depressed, lost, I had just made a mess of things on my own. The Holy Spirit reached down into that darkness and stirred something inside of me, I was listening to the radio at the time driving down the highway, and I yelled out God if this is really you and you are real the next song on this station will be ‘I can only imagine’. And the very next song was exactly that, the miracle was that this station NEVER played anything remotely Christian. I pulled off to the side of the road, broke down, and ask Jesus into my life right there.
The road isn’t always easy but the love that I am filled with makes it worth it. I have been writing for over 10 years now and recently I made a promise to the Lord that if He gave me the words that I would write them and I would follow His leading and share them with others. So this is my promise to you, if you read my blog the Holy Spirit has lead you to it and the Holy Spirit filled me to write what you are seeing. I hope you enjoy and are blessed by what it is that is being shared and I look forward to hearing all of your comments.
God Bless you All!

In 1969 God stepped in and transformed my life as a sixteen year old teenager. After a couple of years of intense emotional ups and downs, I decided I needed a firm foundation in my life that went beyond emotional experiences. It was the decision to become involved with a ministry which specialized in Biblical Research which changed my life.
It is one thing to learn the Bible, but it is another to learn how to read it with understanding and be able to live it consistently. Learning keys to understanding the Bible unlocked the doors which brought me great personal fulfillment and peace. Later I learned how to enjoy the sweet fellowship available to us as believers with God our Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
That which has pulled me through this life with all its twists and turns has been my knowledge and understanding of God and His Word. Although I had to “unlearn” all I had been taught earlier in my life, nothing has ever altered my firm conviction that the Word of God is the will of God.
I do not have a life full of drugs and other horrific things which God saved me from. In fact, how and why He chose me when I was so young used to puzzle me. I was a “good kid” but I was on a course to self destruction for sure. My initial salvation brought me peace and wholeness mentally and emotionally.
The Word of God has given me stability in life and has allowed me to withstand all the bad things this life has thrown at me. I truly thank God for His abounding grace and mercy and for His wonderful Word which has made me whole.
There is a common saying: “You can miss Heaven by 18 inches.” That is about the distance between you head and your heart. I had an intellectual knowledge about Jesus but no heart knowledge. It’s like knowing you had a father and knowing your father. I did not know Jesus as my personal Saviour.
I had experienced God’s urgent call to salvation many times in my life. I told God “I’ll get around to salvation, but not now.” I was not ready to give up the temporary rewards sin has to offer. Every time I rejected God’s offer I fell deeper into sin.
It was in the first week of December 2011 that I began to experience overpowering demonic oppression. My mind was flooded with thoughts that were not my own. The words were cruel and mocking. I heard that it was too late, that God had given me many chances to repent, to turn to Him and no more. I would knock on the door and no one would answer.
Images of my life flashed through my mind. I saw all the times I had heard the gospel and refused to give my life over to God. I was in great distress and anguish. The accusing thoughts would not cease. I felt trapped and helpless. I felt like my situation was completely hopeless. This went on for two days and for those two days I could not sleep.
Going on the third day I was mentally and physically exhausted. The flood of thoughts, the accusing voices and the images were coming fast and were constant that whole time. Imagine a radio turned up full volume and nothing but unpleasant noise in your head for two solid days. That’s as close as I can describe it.
I felt so hopeless and I remember crying out to God. I said “To the real God, I beg you to give me another chance.” The cruel. Demonic voices ceased immediately. The constant flood of “noise” ceased. For the first time in over two days I slept. December 7th 2011 I was born again, praise God.
I have known God’s plan of salvation for most of my life. Knowing what to do and doing something are of course, two very different things. I now believe with all my heart that the blood Christ shed cleanses us from all our sins, past, present and future. I believe that when Christ died on the cross, he took the penalty of our sins upon Himself. He willingly sacrificed his perfect, sinless life for us while we were yet spiritually dead in our trespasses and sins. He overcame death and the grave on the third day. He was in the tomb. He is alive. He is life and He is coming to deliver us from the judgment soon to come upon this world.
Everything is new. I have experienced the deep love of God. This is something that goes beyond human understanding, I can’t think of a word that can fully describe what it’s like to know the God of the universe. I have an understanding of scripture like never before and I clearly understood the plan Satan had for my life.
I have a deep sense of peace. Knowing Jesus Christ as MY Personal Saviour is a real experience. I know I am loved. The burden of shame and oppression has lifted for the first in my life. I would not trade my relationship with Jesus Christ for all the gold in the world. I mean that with every fiber of my being. I love Jesus and know I am loved.

This is my testimony of the true Lord Jesus Christ in a shorter version in hopes that when reading many will not be overwhelm with so information at once. As a Christian believer, I was actively involved in many well known Christian churches from 1990-2007 believing was saved and serving God. During that time experience many manifestations of the spirit believing this was a confirmation of my salvation. Then I started witnessing through those years many Christian believers get sick and die even though they were prayed by pastoral staff and other believers.
God sent his son and raised him from the dead on the third day destroying the body of sin forever. Therefore the antichrist-the old serpent and the mark of man are defeated forever to those that have faith and believe in God sending his son in sinful flesh, who knew NO SIN to take our place. This is the true gospel. I believe in the true living God sent his son and raised him from the dead on the third day. I am alive by Christ’s sufferings, death and resurrection of the dead destroying the body of sin forever 1John 2:26-28.
“My life was really messed up and confused in the past. I knew right from wrong and I knew how to behave. I just didn’t have god by my side at all times. My parents didn’t send me to church on a regular basis when I was a child. Plus, I had to figure out how to correct my mistakes on my own. Every time I screwed up, I figured I would never get myself out of the old trap. My parents would get on me for everything. I only went to church here and there when I got older but that stopped in a short period of time. I never knew about christianity when I was a child. I would lie a lot, I would masterbate, I would watch pornagraphy, I would forge signatures, and I would hide things from my parents. My mom and dad had to get me to see that I would go no where in life by being selfish. Finally in 2012, I screwed up big time. I messed up royally with other people and my parents. I was criticized for every thing I did. Not only that, I would bring myself down by bringing up the incident over and over again. I finally realized that it was time for me to change for good. When I ran into Nathan for the career without walls business, me and him talked in McDonalds. On that day, he said, “what do you know about jesus”. I said that he can help people out. I went back home and did some soul searching by myself. I looked on the internet for the word repent. The computer talked about how you can be forgiven for all of your sins. I decided to do this from then on. After that, god drew me to his presence. He saved me in January 2013. Now, all of my sins are forgiven and I can move on with my life. I have admitted I was a sinner, I forgave myself and others, I recognized Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and I asked Jesus to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. My salvation was confirmed in the month of January. I believe the truth about the bible and I read it on a daily basis. I also pray on a daily basis as well. If I do mess up some then, I can ask god to forgive me and take away my guilt. But, I will always be in the lords hands forever. I definitely want to go to heaven and enjoy my days in the mansion with other children of christ. My mission is to endure until the end of my life.”
My name is Charles Bundschu (bun-shoe)
Born and raised in California, joined the Marines out of Marin Junior College and was assigned to helicopter mechanic duty with VMO2 at Futema MAS on Okinawa 50 years ago.
A deacon at the nearby English speaking Baptist Church gave me the ride back to base and asked if I was interested in joining their fellowship.
I felt I had been found a home overseas…”Yes ofcourse.” I said.
The gentleman deacon handed me a marked New Testiment, and showed me John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:8 and 10:8,9 and 10. Ephesians 2:8 and 9, then Revelation 3:20. He calmly asked me if I had ever asked Jesus to come into my heart.
“No” I said thinking how dad had forbidden my sister and me from joining any church which we visited.
“Wouldn’t you like to now?”
The big question pressed me to make my eternal decision. I had life pass before me in a flash. My mother and many Scout leaders influenced my choice — though I was shown to open the car door and leave the moment…
“Yes.” I said meekly. The deacon was so considerate.
I was led to pray in my own words the simple form of confessing, forsaking sin, accepting God’s provision, and asking Jesus to come into my heart and life as personal Savior and Lord.
I served two tours in the Marines, got married, had two daughters, joined the Army, went to OCS, and accepted orders to return for duty to Okinawa where two more children joined us.
There we served with the same fellowship as youth group leaders.
My career was my ministry serving soldiers being mentored by the chaplain corps.
Returning to enlisted duty stressed my marriage, which led to divorse as wife and children was shown to leave me.
The service became less glorious with a Korea tour, and assignment to Ft Hood, where I chose to leave the Army and begin a second career with aircraft manufacturing.
Today, I am writing. Through a marriage to another Christian woman who needed me to help raising her three children. God is our Lord.
Last year, Pastor Dad asked me to edit the men’s ministry magazine.
My life’s circumstances have bought me to my kness n made me confess my sins n desire in my heart to seek the Lord eranestly.I thank God for the hardtimes becoz it has made to realize that i’m living in dark world, need the wisdom of Word n love of Father.
Prasie the Lord. It’s also a joy to hear How God has changed peoples life by His unfailing love, Power n compassion. I’m very thankful to Lord for all that He has given me,even thou i’m
unworthy of His Blessings.I specially Thank God for giving me strenght n speedy recovery n wisdom n patience to doctors who were performing a surgery.God has blessed me with loving n very God fearing in laws n husband. Thank God for all those people who were n are still praying for me n my husband, each one of them is spl. blessing from above.
I hope to thank God for a miracle, which i believe will happen by Almighty God in His unconditional love n Grace n power.Despite of medical odds my faith in Lord promises me a child for Father’s Glory.Praises n Glory be to God for ever. I love You Jesus.
I want to start off by saying, everyone has been through something in life that was bad, some people have been through horrible situations, but now I know that God has always been there to help us.
I knew Jesus, but I didn’t have a personal relationship with Him then, I didn’t run to Him for help & forgiveness, but I ran to the world in a pit of destruction. I am a sinner, but I know God loves me & He chose me & called me to do a great work for Him, even though I am not worthy of God’s mercy, but His grace He has forgiven me and washed me clean by abundantly giving me His Glorious Spirit to live in me & guide me, He loves me & I love Him.
Jesus is my Lord & Savior, and I thank God that He lives inside of me & He gave Himself for me & shed His blood for me for the remission of sins. God has given me many Spiritual gifts, I have a very strong passion for giving and helping the hungry & the homeless. I want to help all people who have no place to go, & help them find their way and Jesus is the way, the truth, & the life.
Being a blessing to the homeless, the hurting, & the suffering is a passion & a gift of mine that God has given me. I thank God that He finds me worthy of my walk with Him, even though I still do wrong, but God is faithful. He has called me & has chosen me for a great work and He is bringing it to pass by blessing me along with my mom to fulfill our ministry, “St. Barnabas Faith & Hope Recovery Center”. I want to bring God’s word to all & to strengthen & encourage them by building up their faith, hope and their trust in God, we can do nothing without Jesus.
We all can trust God because His word is true and everything He does it right, I know because I am a walking miracle of God’s mercy. I was diagnosed with HIV in 2001 with phenomena & I almost died in the hospital, but God. He sent a angel to me, I believe she was an angel & she told me everything is going to be ok. But yet I was still living for myself & living in sin on my way to death. God’s grace, His mercy, His faithfulness & His forgiveness, i believe God was tired of me playing around and He wanted me to come back to Him.
God saved me and pulled me out of the pit (ISAIAH 38:17) and He healed me from HIV in 2010 (PSALM 107:20), after I came back home to Him & obeyed God (2CHRONICLES 7:14), Amen. My Father has given me a strong faith & my faith is in the Son of God Jesus Christ my Lord & Savior & through my obedience to Jesus, God has made me well and He wants to make us all well, the Lord is a Healer & He loves us all.
God is good! I hope in God, I belong to God, He chose me & formed me & He predestined me for His glory to do a great work. I live my life fully for Jesus being led by the Holy Spirit, I left myself & I have took up my cross, I’m a child of the Most High God, the living Father. I am married to Christ, & Jesus is my Lord & Savior. “I pray this word encourages many people.” God Bless, Amen.
I received Jesus as my savior when I was about eleven years old, but as do many, I wandered in the wilderness, stopping by every now and then–usually when I was in need of something–but then I got turned around. Looking back, I still wonder sometimes how I came to be where I am and who I am today, bu this testimony explains it fairly well:
Just before Christmas in 2008, I bought a small book by Rick Warren, entitled The Purpose Of Christmas. So many things Rick said in the book spoke to me in profound and awesome ways. You know how sometimes something you’ve read or heard a hundred times suddenly goes, “ding”, and you understand? This happened several times while I read Rick’s book about Christmas.
One such instance came when I read a paragraph where he talked about how we can’t go through life on our own power. He compared that method of living our lives to God wants us to trust Him and depend on Him. He also discussed how God allows problems to come into our lives that we have no chance of solving on our own. Rick explained that in these times of trial, God is waiting for us to stop trying to solve the problem and start trusting Him to solve it.
Ding!
A voice in my head, or perhaps it was in my heart, said, “Be still, and know that I am God.”
How simple is that?
Let go, and let God!
although I’d heard it so many times before, in so many different ways, I really didn’t get it until that moment.
I had already had a revelation of sorts at an earlier point in the book. It came when I read a sentence Rick had written, saying there are 365 places in the Bible where God says, “Don’t be afraid!”
Upon reading that, I told my wife, Sherry, it would be a good premise for a book of daily devotionals. She must have told me, “You should write it!” five times in the few minutes following my statement.
And so I decided to write a book of devotionals using each of the three-hundred-sixty-five verses that say something to the effect of “do not fear.”
But then as I was writing the devotionals and approaching the end of the month of January, I looked at the list of 365 verses I’d printed and thought it didn’t appear there weren’t enough left to add up to 365. It was only then that I read the note at the top of the page I’d printed which said there are actually only a hundred or so verses that say, “Do not be afraid,” or some equivalent thereof. I was extremely disappointed at first. But I considered how much I was enjoying writing these daily encouragements, and decided I would search for another phrase or word I could use as a theme to continue once the “Do not be afraid,” verses were exhausted. I decided on “Love,” because after all, love is what I believe God and life to be about.
According to at least one of the sources I found on the Internet, the word love appears 319 times in the Old Testament and 232 times in the New Testament. My plan is to use the ones that speak strongest to me. I trust God will guide me in my choices, and they will speak to others who read this book of devotionals, too.
But before you read even the first day’s encouragement, you need to know who I am.
I’m just another guy—a redneck kind of guy. I play golf, fish and drink a beer now and then. I am so far from perfect, that some may say, “What does he know about God?”
My answer would be, “Not enough.”
But I do know enough to know that God works in strange and wondrous ways, and if He chooses to reach a segment of the population through this simple man, then that He will do. If you choose to read these devotionals/encouragements, please remember I am not the author of the words that follow, I am merely the pencil.
I’ve been writing and posting daily encouragements for over four years now, and I have grown so much it astounds me. I often say the person I most write the encouragements for is ME! I am blessed!
My name is Chelsey Schenavar and I attend the University of Sioux Falls. My husband, Brian, and I were both collegiate pole vaulters here at USF. Brian was ranked #1 in the conference and in the nation (NCAA D2). He was 8 inches away from hitting the olympic B standard and even used his red shirt last season so he would be able to vault this year. The story I have to share with you is how all of this ended within seconds due to an injury. Then, three months later at the national meet, pole vault was taken away from me due to an injury as well. However, something greater was given to us-the compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ who has worked through us so others may experience his awestruck love. I simply ask that you pass this story along so others can continue to be touched by our story. God has blessed us with this injury so others may be blessed with his love. The link below follows you to my blog where I shared my story at: http://www.vaulthigh.wordpress.com
God Bless,
Chelsey Schenavar
I want to start off by saying, everyone has been through something in life that was bad, some people have been through horrible situations, but now I know that God has always been there to help us. Growing up from child age to my teenage years was hard for me, I felt like I didn’t belong here on this world, but if I had just trusted Jesus & put my faith in Him, He would have made it better for me to bare those years. Then in my twenties, I just went astray & I got lost in the world. I ran to sex to comfort me, & back then for me sex comforted me from my anger & pain, but it just made my anger & the pain I had inside worse and I became bitter, that’s what Satan wanted was for me to just give up on myself. I knew Jesus, but I didn’t have a personal relationship with Him then, I didn’t run to Him for help & forgiveness, but I ran to the world in a pit of destruction. I am a sinner, but I know God loves me & He chose me & called me to do a great work for Him, even though I am not worthy of God’s mercy, but His grace He has forgiven me and washed me clean by abundantly giving me His Glorious Spirit to live in me & guide me, He loves me & I love Him. Jesus is my Lord & Savior, and I thank God that He lives inside of me & He gave Himself for me & shed His blood for me for the remission of sins. God has given me many Spiritual gifts, I have a very strong passion for giving and helping the hungry & the homeless. I want to help all people who have no place to go, & help them find their way and Jesus is the way, the truth, & the life. Being a blessing to the homeless, the hurting, & the suffering is a passion & a gift of mine that God has given me. I thank God that He finds me worthy of my walk with Him, even though I still do wrong, but God is faithful.

God’s grace, His mercy, His faithfulness & His forgiveness, i believe God was tired of me playing around and He wanted me to come back to Him. I had a vision that woke me up & this is the vision i had, I saw the coming of the clouds & the way we will be going up in the clouds & it was so breathtaking & beautiful, then all of a sudden it was over. The Lord is coming “SOON” to take the saints His church home with Him to God’s glorious kingdom in heaven, & that vision is what got me together to be at peace with God (JOB 33:28,30). God’s mercy and His love for all of us is that He wants us to come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ His Son and be saved. God saved me and pulled me out of the pit (ISAIAH 38:17) and He healed me from HIV in 2010 (PSALM 107:20), after I came back home to Him & obeyed God (2CHRONICLES 7:14), Amen. My Father has given me a strong faith & my faith is in the Son of God Jesus Christ my Lord & Savior & through my obedience to Jesus, God has made me well and He wants to make us all well, the Lord is a Healer & He loves us all. God is good! I hope in God, I belong to God, He chose me & formed me & He predestined me for His glory to do a great work. I live my life fully for Jesus being led by the Holy Spirit, I left myself & I have took up my cross, I’m a child of the Most High God, the living Father. I am married to Christ, & Jesus is my Lord & Savior. “I pray this word encourages many people.” God Bless, Amen.
