Ehpesians 4: 14-16

"We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body's growth in building itself up in love."





By hearing what Christ has done in the lives of others, many have come into a deeper relationship with God. This is one of the ways where we can build each other up, strengthening and supporting each other with love. There is a hungry world asking questions: "Is God Real?" "Does God care for me?" "Is God really involved in people's lives?" These questions are answered by sharing testimonies, by sharing what God has done in your life.

I want to put your story here. Will you share with others what God has done in your life? Email me a short testimony. I can't promise to print every one but I step out in faith that the Holy Spirit will urge some of you, the readers, to send in your stories that will give honor and glory to God. Will it be you? Are you ready to help others with your story?




I grew up going to church. In fact, I can not remember a time when we didn't say a thanksgiving before meals, when we didn't attend church on Sunday and holidays. When I was small, prayer was part of the bedtime ritual. I had heard of "being saved" but my thought was that I knew God in my own way, I didn't need all that gooey stuff. As an adult I wasn't "religious" but I still went to church. If I went to heaven it would be because I had done more good things than bad.

One afternoon, while napping, I had a dream. In that dream I needed a doctor. If I didn't get a doctor I knew without a doubt that I would die. My friends in the dream who were with me were going to find me a doctor but I told them there was only one doctor that could save my life and his name was Jesus.

When I awoke I had the taste of blood in my mouth which stayed with me throughout the evening. Finally, I said a simple prayer. I told God that I didn't know quite what was happening but that I was His and would He please come into my heart. Today, 27 years later, that experience is still as fresh as when it happened. I have come to learn that the Holy Spirit is my best friend, that God the father loves me more than any earthly father could, and that Jesus died so that I might have eternal life. The most wonderful thing I have learned is that I can't do enough good things to get me into heaven but, because Jesus died for me and I asked him into my heart, I have been marked by the seal of the Holy Spirit for the day of redemption.
