Christian Testimonies

“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”

The Bible is very clear about the destiny of the devil.  Revelations 20:10 says “Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur…. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”  Notice that before he was tossed into the lake of fire, the Bible says that the enemy had deceived “them”.  Who are them?  The world.  The devil is fully aware of his fate of doom, and consequently, he’s focused his attention on trying to take with him as many people as he can because he is a true hater.  He hates God with a passion, and since he cannot defeat God, he goes after God’s most prized possession – man.

Recently, I sowed some money into a ministry that helps the homeless. I told my husband that I felt led by God to do it and what if it was one of our family members that became homeless? Little did I know, shortly after that one of our children became homeless and he failed to call us. He panicked and needed help desperately. A ministry in a central Texas town took care of our son and encouraged him to call us. He is home now! I believed God took care of my son because I obeyed and sowed into this ministry.

I was called out of the “world’s system” in August 2008 and I can truly say with no exaggeration that life has never been the same.  I’ve written about this in many of my previous entries so I will not go into too much detail about it now; however, I do urge you to read about it through the links I’ve provided for you below, but for now, I will simply say that Deuteronomy 8:2-4 pretty much summarizes this experience:

To expound on 2 praise God’s comment
“I think when we learn to forgive others, not only does God promises to forgive us, but we become free. Free from bondage and free from anything else that may compromise our relationship with God.”
That bondage includes freedom from hurts, and insecurities, and begins the unconditional Love that God shows us… Since I moved with my dad at 8 yrs old i was abused, both verbally and physically. When I met my mom shortly after i moved with my dad, she would invite us to spend time with her, then stand me and my brothers up. These things hurt, but The more God put it on my heart to forgive, the more i acted on it, the more God began to remove pain from the past experiences…He began to show me what happened wasn’t my fault, but I was a victim to situations that it helped to shape my destiny, and turned my Victimhood into Victory!
