Hi there anyone willing to read my story. I've recently joined this forum so a way to connect to fellow Christians and learn about the power if jesus christ.
My story goes back to my childhood, brought up catholic in a catholic family. Went to church, had a great childhood, did all the sacraments and things I was supposed to do as a good Christian child does.
However, in my teen years I moved country, shortly after I started taking drugs. I say drugs found me more than anything and I let them take everything from me. My family, my spirituality and my mental health of course took a strong turn for the worse. After a period of 3 or 4 years where I thought I was living my best life, I started to get spiritually misguided by evil spirits. I was led into the darkest period of my life. Hearing voices was the least of my worries. I felt lost and like there was no hope. However I clung to the idea that I could always come back when I was ready. Felt like I was waiting for someone to save me.
Thus begins my spiritual journey. I searched and I searched, tried all religions, hinduims and buddhism and although I would feel at times satisfied or quenched, it would always leave me wanting more. I would chant mantras for days on end and while I was doing it I felt like I was getting somewhere. Then it would stop and it would all go away leaving me feeling empty again.
That was until christ descended on me like a dove. I had almost spent this Christmas in a psych ward but by the grace of God I was released. God came to me in that psych ward, encouraging me to prepare for my rebirth. My heart was filled with love and forgiveness for my fellow man and women.
Now my grandfather, a great Christian man, a teacher of the bible and one of the best humans I know had been telling me, turn away from these false practices. Jesus will save you. And I swear to you, I felt an opening in that moment. Within 2 days I had given up chanting and had completely turned to the lord jesus christ.
I now know, jesus has been in my heart, mind and soul my whole life. He never left me. And in these random moments I felt overwhelmingly gracious, that it was him. Tears of joy, stream down my face regularly now, even just the thought of his love and who he is, is enough to put a ball in my throat.
I testify to jesus christ, the saviour of the world. I know everyone on this forum will believe when I say this. And for that we are saved. I love you all. And I love you jesus.
