I was saved when I was 17 years young, at a retreat that I did not even want to go to (with my mom), all kinds of people were there from different religion back rounds. I was going through some kind of growing pains, I felt lonely, depressed. There were a lot of speakers at this retreat, they spoke about God, healings, they preached, and they even spoke about Exocism. There were people from all over the states and even Africa. They seperated us by age groups, I really did not want to be there, but my friend persuaded me to join the teenage group, I only joined after two boys came up to me and introduced themselves to me, and they were different, caring, warm, and friendly and they even were asking me to join their group, so I said okay. We were all in this big room listening to a pastor speaking about Jesus, and preaching, and how to be saved. Well I did not know what he was talking about (being saved? I asked myself). Any ways...there I was sitting on the floor listening to him speak, and then he said:
"if any one wants to be saved and wants to go to heaven bow your heads and repeat the sinners prayer after me", so I bowed my head and I prayed to Jesus, and I repented and confessed my sins to him, and I repeated the sinners prayer, then all of a sudden....I started to cry out loud! Tears rolling down my cheeks, and I felt this warm feeling, I felt great after that I realized that I was saved, and that Jesus has this huge love for me..for everyone!...Now I'm 43, I went thru my 20's faze, my 30's faze and yes i sinned again and again, but I did pray to Jesus to forgive me of my sins, again, and again, and again. Now I will tell you what happened to me this year...on April 4, 2008 I was on my knees praying to Jesus, I was praying for one of my brothers, and I felt the holy spirit in me and I started to praise Jesus with all of my heart and soul, crying my eyes out, praising him really loud, the following morning again I was on my knees praying and I told Jesus that I have always been a believer, and that I know he is always with me, and that he hears my prayers (Jesus has always answered my prayers in his timing). I told him that there are times that I wish I could feel his arms wrapped around me, that I really needed to feel his arms wrapped around me. Now it is April 8, 2008, I was in my dining room reading my bible, and my husband (Ernie) was there as well reading his bible, but we were both reading to ourselves, silently. I was reading three verses that I have read before many times but not really put them together and meditate on them, so I kept reading these three verses..."In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God", and "through him we are all held together", and the heart of the gospel.."word became flesh, and Jesus took our sins upon himself and shed his precious blood on the cross, and resurrected in three days and lives in us", these verses really penetrated my heart, I thought to myself "Thank you Jesus" because I felt he had answered my prayer when I asked to feel his arms wrapped around me, these verses were enough for me that I felt loved by him and it was the hug that I was asking for but after reading them three times over, I told my husband:"Honey I have to read something to you listen to me", he asked me why I was crying, I did not know that I was, so I started to read him the verses that I was reading, then when I got to the heart of the gospel (good news about Jesus), I only got to three words when all of a sudden, I felt Jesus within my SOUL! I felt very warm, my eyes were shut, and I was worshiping him very loud, and I was crying, this went on for about 15 minutes, then he filled me with joy, and my tongue started to move up and down I sounded like a baby just starting to talk (he filled me with utterance), and I heard a heavenly language. I asked my Husband:"Honey what is that, what is that language, what is that sound"?, he said he could not hear anything, but it sounded sooo beautiful, I did not speak in Tongues, I heard the most beautiful language, and it was in my voice, but not coming out of my mouth, I heard this for about 5 minutes. I felt soooo loved, I felt a love that there are no words to explain it, it was amazing more than amazing! I wish everyone could feel this love. When this happened to me, my husband jumped out of his chair and was holding me, he said he thought I was going to fall off my chair, and he said he felt my whole body very warm and he said he felt good, he said it was a very good feeling he felt just by holding me. I was on cloud nine! I felt like I was flying, I felt sooo Happy! That nite I had a great sleep, I could actually feel Jesus's presence in our home for a whole week, I know he is with us at all times, but I could actually feel him! The following morning, I went over my mom's house, I went to get some milk (she live just a couple of blocks from our house), I did not feel like getting all dressed up to go to the store, so I went to my mom's wearing my pj's. Little did I know, my two older sisters were over there as well, I did not plan on telling anybody what happened to me the nite before because I thought they would think I was going crazy, I was going to keep it to myself, but when I walked in my mom's house all happy, a smile from ear to ear, I was very Happy! I kissed my sisters on the cheek, and my mom as well, I said good morning to them, and one of my sisters (Janie)looks at me and she asks me "why are you so happy? "tell me what is going on with you that you are so happy and so joyful" I told her nothing at all, that I was just happy for no reason, (my sister Janie is one that likes to get every info she can get so she just kept asking me). (my older sister Alice just looked at me smiling), then the next thing my sister Janie asked me was sooo of God, it was a God send, because she is not one to ask me such a question, and I knew then it was God wanting me to tell them what happened, it was not for me to keep. Janie asked me:" Did you have a spiritual moment, did you start to speak in tongues?", when she asked me that! I just started to burst out in tears, I was crying but of happiness, because I knew that it was Jesus that had put those words in her mouth, I knew from that moment he wanted me to tell them. So I told them I said:"You have no idea how much Jesus loves you", I told them: "people asks sometimes do you know how much Jesus loves you, and people just answer, oh yes, but I said:"no they don't, they just say that to say it, Jesus love is enormous! it is eternal! you don't compare his love for us to the love you have for anyone on earth". I told my mom, and my sisters what had happened to me, and that I felt Jesus's Love for me, but not just for me, for everyone on this earth! I know that Jesus wants me to tell people, I got that feeling just after my sister asked me if I had a spiritual moment and if I spoke in tongues. My sisters were very surprised, My sister Janie asked "why can't that happen to me", I told her, she has to give herself to Jesus, and repent, and ask forgiveness, I told her I had been hungry for God for a whole year, I was reading my bible every day and every nite! I was getting to know God, and I asked him to come into my heart, and he did!
After this had happened to me, I kept reading my bible, because it is the only time I can be with him, truely be with him!, and every time I go some where I witness to people, the holy spirit guides me to witness to people, it is amazing, God is amazing! I tell people how much Jesus loves them, and if they don't know, I tell them, I tell them the gospel, I prove to them just how much he loves them by quoting scripture to them, I have led some people to Jesus, and the look on their faces after they say the sinners prayer with me, is always nice to see, they tell me they feel great.
I give all the Glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
For those that don't know him, all I have to tell you is: He is God came down from Heaven and took your sins upon himself, and he shed his precious blood for you on the cross, and he rose in three days and is alive in you! He is the Light of the world, word became flesh, he is the Alpha and Omega, he is the "I AM", and he has this huge love for you! YES YOU! ALL OF YOU! and he wants to be with you, He loves you very much! and you don't have to work to be saved, it is a gift, it is by his grace. Just cry out to him and repent of your sins, ask for forgiveness, confess with your mouth that you know he is God came down in flesh to take your sins upon himself on the cross, and he rose in three days and he is alive! Invite him into your heart, and ask him to lead you with his holy spirit to truth, ask him to baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. After that you will be a new person, put on the Armor of God everyday(reading the bible)to protect you from Satan.
My prayers are with all of you out there, May the Lord Bless you all!
Your sister in Christ
Izzy:)
