I did the whole religious church scene from a small child until I was like 23 and the whole time was possessed by the devil, did the unspeakable’s and had no problems with sin in self or others.
It wasn’t until I reached a point in my life, a point of utter desperation as I was on the brink of actually killing myself that I broke down and cried to God to take me from the turmoil I was in. And let me testify… HE DID, He came to me, Lifted me UP, SHOOK the Living hell out of me (Literally) and manifested himself to me, through me and IN ME!
It wasn’t because I was a good boy, it wasn’t because I went to church, it was because I GAVE IN and virtually SUBMITTED my “SELF” to Him and wanted him ABOVE {{{{ALL}}}} things in life, including my own life.
THEN, It became OBVIOUS, It was HIM, Allowing the devil to do the things he did to torment me internally and externally.
It was that moment I could “Identify” the “Reality” of God and Satan “at war” for the Souls of mankind. It was that moment I realized my purpose in life.
And don’t get me wrong, I struggled with the lord for a while, Not because I didn’t understand, but because I fully understood and was NOT doing what he was telling me to do, LIVE.
Once I started “obeying” his “Live” Voice.. Well, lets just say..
I’m washed, redeemed and Ready to leave this flesh body that walks this temporal earth and enter his kingdom that I now SEE every waking minute of my life.
When you’re a slave of “the Christ”, IT Shows, it is OBVIOUS who is at ones control panel. One can tell when one is doing and speaking what the Living God, who Speaks with voice is directing him or her to do and speak. BECAUSE, God, AKA Holy Spirit, AKA The Christ… DOES NOT, Contradict HIMSELF!
The Living God is only a Contradiction to the DEVIL!
He hates when Gods People/Children/Servants/Slaves STAND UP and STAND OUT! He will use his cunning silver tongue devil talk to demoralize, dismiss, degrade and prosecute those who acknowledge the Living God and allow him to direct their life and speak through them.
Those who TRULY Follow Christ, KNOW, Those who truly follow Christ.. THERE IS NO CONTRADICTION!
I praise the Lord for this testimony Dear Brother. God can do marvelous things with the broken and the helpless who cry out to Him.
I know of someone who was in a similar condition, about committing suicide. Things changed when she heard the Voice of God called her name.
When such encounters occur, the difference is always clear in the lives of those who had the experiences.
May our hearts be continuously yielded to the Lord.
More of Lord Jesus to you.
