gave my life to the Lord at a young age. However, it didn’t become
real to me until I grew older and experienced different ups and downs in
my life. I came to understand that I needed to recognize that Jesus is
the Lord of my life, all of my life! He is the One who knows my needs
and He is the One who will provide for those needs! He is not here to
hurt me, but to teach me, and to mold me into the woman that He desires
me to be! Growing and learning can be really hard and it can hurt, but I have found that when I let God really work on and in my life, it is a beautiful thing. One constant struggle for me is to put Jesus above everything else in my life! Sometimes I get distracted. He wants it all, and He deserves it all! I desire to give Him all of me. I want to use my gift of music to serve and glorify the Lord, to reach out to those who do not have Him as a constant, everlasting Friend. He is there, waiting for you with arms open wide. He Loves you! What are you waiting for? Make that uturn in your life and come to Him! I love playing the keys in the Uturn band and am always challenged by the message and dramas shared during the events! May we continue to glorify the Lord with the gifts He has given us! 46.67% |

Hi, It's not that easy to write on the net about a miracle that the only true God operated in my life. I will go ahead since the only purpose is His glory. I was saved by Jesus-Christ on April16,1989. Born again by the grace of Jesus-Christ, my God. At that time,my husband and I had two daughters. We had many quarrels and difficulties in our marriage. I was teaching computer programming for adults wanting to obtain their high school degree. My husband was an associate lawyer in a law firm. On a Sunday, after a terrible quarrel it came clear to me that a divorce was imminent. I realised that nobody could help us but God. I cried out to Him. I didn't want to divorce. I silently, prayed in my hearth asking God "Help me God, I don't want to divorce." He heard me. Durind the next week, while, alone, I was correcting exams in class, a student came in working on computers. We were alone in the classroom. She then started to talk to me about Jesus and I was drinking all about what she was saying to me about Him. She invited me to church on the next Sunday. I declined the invitation at that time. On the next Saturday morning she was at my door offering me a booklet from Radio Bible Class titled "How to have a happy home" and inviting me to church on the next morning for 9H30 a.m. On that Saturday night I I started to read that booklet, agreeing "intellectually" but I was not a child of God yet. The next Sunday morning the quarrels between my husband and I started again. Our daughters were suffering so much. At 10h00 a.m. I decided, even if I was late, to go to church. t the end of the meeting a woman came to me. She told me her name and asked me when I was saved. Saved????? I don't know what your talking about? Then she told me that she was saved on a certain date. I told her:" I'm not saved. I don't know what your taking about." She then brought me to a room where she talked to me but I was not listening. I was just thinking: "I have to go and cook dinner for my family." She became aware that I was not listening very much so she told me that she could come at my home that same evening at 8 whit a man that knew the bible more thatn her. I accepted. Arriving home my husband refused that thay would come. I tried during the afternoon to cancel but was not able to. At 8 p.m. both arrived. My husband welcomed them but left after for our bedroom. I was alone with them. I started asking:"Why should I believe that this book (the Bible) is true? When I was conviced that the Bible was true, the word of God, then I asked him many questions. At each time he opened the Bible at a page showing me with a verse the answers to my questions. At the beginning I was objecting. But, every time he turned the pages of that precious book and showed me the answer with the Bible verse. He showed me in the Bible that I was a sinner before a holy God. At one time he asked me: "Esther, if you were dead yesterday were would you be?" I knew after all he told me that I would be in hell but inside of me it cried "NO" and I did not answer. It was so clear to me. Hell is real. But hten he showed me a verse: Acts 16:31 "Believe in the Lord Jesus-Christ and you will be saved you and your family". I believed, by faith, in that verse. I tought:"God, You tell me that if I believe in the Lord Jesus I will be saved and also my family" than I grasped that verse. At 11h45p.m. on that Sunday night, that man, after explaining me the plan of salvation stoppped and told me:"Now I have told you everything, now it's your choice." Nobody talked. It was silent. Then convinced of what I had to do I prayed:" Lord Jesus, I ask you to forgive all my sins. I ask you to save me from hell and to bring me with you in heaven." April 16,1989: Jesus heard me, saved by the grace of my Saviour! Since then many blessed times, many trials also but Jesus keeps me. We are still married my husbamd and I. The Lord has blessed us. We have now six wonderfull children: 3 daughters and three wonderfull sons. The Lord as kept us together and He helps to love one another. May all the glory be to Jesus-christ, our God and Saviour, our Redeemer and friend. And as Thomas said:"My Lord and myGOD." He is alive and call out to Him! In Christ, your sister, Esther xxxx 6.67% |
