In 1999, through a series of bizarre circumstances, I ended up at the neighborhood drug dealers house through a mutual acquaintance of ours. What threw me off was while I was there, this drug dealer was telling me I needed Jesus! (The Lord can use ANYONE!) After hours of conversation and feeling the conviction of The Holy Spirit, I decided I DID indeed NEED Jesus... My heart had an empty black HOLE that nothing and no one else could fill. I had tried EVERYTHING and was still miserable! That's because ONLY The Lord Jesus can fill that hole in our hearts.

 

I got down on my knees, preparing to pray to Jesus and accept Him into my heart...As I started to say the sinners' prayer, I started being choked by unseen hands! NO KIDDING, people! Something was literally CHOKING me!!!! I could feel hands around my neck but NO ONE was there! I was gasping for air! My eyes were tearing up due to lack of oxygen! Then, the drug dealer casted demons out of me in the name of Jesus! He said something along the lines of, "In the name of Jesus, Get out of her!" As SOON as he cast them out, my throat was loosed... I GASPED for air as I frantically realized I could breathe again!!!! I quickly got back to my prayer of accepting Jesus before anything else CRAZY happened... As I finished my prayer of asking Jesus into my heart, he heard a 'swooooosh' noise go out the window! He also heard screams as they swooshed out the window! I was too busy praying and gasping for air to notice these noises, but he was sitting near the window and heard 'them' leave... The 'them' I'm talking about was demons who had been residing in me all those years from the things I had been involved in and exposed to...

 

I KNOW from personal experience that demons, the devil and hell ARE REAL... As well as God, Jesus His Son, The Holy Spirit and Heaven is REAL... There are TWO eternal destinations we can choose from and earth is the place we make the decision where we will reside for eternity! We are making our reservations here, people! We are practicing here what we will be doing in eternity...Whether we be slaves to sin or living holy lives in Jesus...

 

It is written... "Ye shall be holy; for I am holy" (1Peter1:16)

 

Also, It is written... "...Without holiness no one will see the Lord"(Hebrews 12:14)

 

We need to repent (means to actually TURN AWAY FROM) these sins & turn to Jesus...He will change your heart from wicked to pure...You CANNOT do it yourself but The Holy Spirit CAN.

 

That drug dealer is now my husband, who is also saved and born again, in Jesus Name! We are BOTH on FIRE for Jesus & completely sold out...I don't go through one day without thinking about The LORD- And that's how it should be! He IS my #1 LOVE...

 

Jesus can use ANYONE He so chooses! The more you've messed up, the more of a wreck your life is now, the greater of a testiomony you will be for Him! I did NOT change my life of my own power. The LORD changed me after I gave my life to Him...

 

I do not share this story with you for recogniton, pity or entertainment! I share this testimony with you so that you can KNOW that Jesus IS REAL (and He is coming SOON) and the devil is out to KILL,STEAL and DESTROY. The devil hates God and because he cannot step to Our Heavenly Father, he has to mess with His BELOVED creation...Us. And that's what he's doing everyday, whether you realize it or not... It is all happening in the spiritual realm that you cannot see!

 

"...We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal..." (2 Corinthians 4:18)

 

Gods' Word says we defeat the devil by the blood of the Lamb,not loving our own lives to the death AND by the word of our testimony! (Revelation 12:11) This is why I share my testimony with you now... If you have a testimony...I strongly encourage you to share it with others as well,to EVERYONE,whether they want to hear it or not! If you don't have a testimony, I pray God will make a testimony out of your life for His glory!

 

I am hoping this can help someone who thinks they've ruined or wasted their life away...Please listen to me friend, God uses broken vessels so that through the cracks His light can shine through! Jesus said to them, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners." He's calling out to YOU today... Will you listen & come to Him wholeheartedly? He wants a REAL relationship with YOU!

 

With MUCH Love, Catrina
