"We will all feel very much ashamed if we do not yield to Jesus the areas of our lives He has asked us to yield to Him. To reach that level of determination is a matter of the will, not of debate or of reasoning. It is a matter of absolute and irrevocable surrender unto Him. If a crisis has come to you on any front, and you are at a great crossroads in your life, surrender your will to Jesus. Determine to be absolutely an entirely for Him and Him alone. The big question of the crucified life - what you do and how you respond in your actions - determines whether you will be a 30, 60, or 100 fold Christian. This year, we are each reaping what we sowed last year. Next year, we will reap what we are sowing today. Commit yourself to the Lord Jesus with all your heart, and imitate Him. Seek to have the spirit of Christ and labor to make your life conform to His."

My (Descriptive) Testimony In February 2023, I shared my conversion story in the community section of how I became a Christian. It was my overall, basic testimony of how God gave me hope & purpose, when I felt totally helpless & alone. I talked about the day when I was so sad & frustrated, & how in a struggle with suicidal thoughts, I began whispering a prayer that began with the words “God, IF you are real...” I decided to make it basic because I wasn't ready to share specific things- being that this is the internet & all is public, as well as not being totally sure about what to share & what not to share. I was super excited last year that it was 20 years since I had been born-again, & to me that felt like “Wow! I can't believe it!” - & so I thought that sharing my basic, general testimony would be okay to do so. The month of February is always a time in which I recall certain events that changed the course of my whole life, & today, I feel a little more ready to share some details of the day when I surrendered my life to God, which later led to eternal life through Jesus Christ. So when I was a teenager, I was in a deep depression for 6 years, & I isolated myself in my room for about 4 years. It was like this darkness was over me. I felt trapped, & I just could not help myself. Each new year that I was still in my room, I began to lose more & more hope. I had heard a commercial on the radio about a woman who dealt with depression for 20 years, & I began to think “What if what I'm going through takes 20 years?” The thought of being isolated in my room for 20 years began to weaken me, to the point that it began to make me feel like it would be better just to end it all- instead of having to suffer any longer. In my heart I felt like “What is the point of life?” On this one day, my emotions started to overtake me. I began to see blurry & I couldn't even hold myself up to stand. I felt so down & helpless. I felt like crying very loud for a very long time, but I really couldn't do that because then my parents would hear me, & they already had enough grief. That day I thought, “If something doesn't change, I have to end this.” But I was trying to figure out a way of how I was going to end it without having a funeral. I had dark thoughts about how I was going to do it. Taking pills did not work the last time I had tried. I didn't have the courage to hang myself or cut some major vein- & I didn't have access to a gun. So the only thing I kept thinking about was “fire” (too graphic to even explain). In my 18 year old mind, I figured using fire would somehow do the job of ending my life, & likely even prevent my parents from giving me a funeral I really didn't want. While I thought all this, I knew these thoughts were insane, & yet I couldn't help the pain I was feeling. The thought of being dead made me think that the pain I was feeling would also end if I could only die, & as twisted as this sounds, in the thought of death, I felt a little bit of hope- hoping that the pain I felt would stop. It was evening time that day, & my parents, my little brothers & sister were all awake. I just wanted to cry with all my heart until I couldn't cry anymore. I wanted to get every tear out, but I couldn't- because then their whole night would be ruined. I felt awful. Like I was being torn inside. So I decided to go shower because it was the only place I could freely cry & have the shower block any sound, as well as have the opportunity to rinse my face with the warm water so that my eyes would look normal & not make my family worried. I passed my family in the living room, & they didn't suspect anything was going on with me. Everything was the same to them, as usual. When I got in the shower, I leaned my head against the tiled wall, & I finally began to quietly weep with all my heart. I began to talk to God, even though I wasn't sure if He existed. I whispered as loud as I could so that God could hear me, but still whispering so that my family wouldn't hear me, & I said, “God! God! If you are real! This God I heard about when I was a little girl! God, take me out of this! Or else...” - & the rest of my thought I did not whisper. I simply said it in my head, & I said to Him in my mind, “Or else, I'm going to kill myself.” Then I heard a voice. I heard very clear words. I couldn't have imagined it. It was the voice of a male, & the voice clearly said to me, “All or nothing.” I was puzzled that I heard a voice, & I even stopped crying because I couldn't believe it. I didn't know what was going on. It took me a few seconds to think. Then I must have realized it had to be God because I got down on my knees & looked up to the ceiling. I began to talk to the voice to reason with it, & I said, “Okay, okay. But when you take me out of this, I'm just going to smoke a little bit, drink a little bit, & maybe go to a party every now & then.” - plus a few other things I said to the voice in regards to my future in the real world out there. When I was done speaking, the voice spoke again, & it said the same thing in the exact same tone, “All or nothing.” It was a peaceful, calm & kind tone. Yet the voice had power to command me, & at the same time the voice wasn't necessarily forcing me. The way I had understood it was that two clear choices were being set before me, & I could either choose to give my whole life to this Being & be set free, or I could choose to keep my life (or portions of my life) but not receive the true help that only this Being could give me. So I stayed quiet for some seconds thinking about if I was ready to submit my whole life to what the voice was requiring of me, & I just clearly knew that the “all” meant I could not go on in life sinning if I were to go back to the free world, & I knew that the “nothing” meant that if I want to hold on to my sin in the future, then I shouldn't look to this Being for His help to deliver me from the circumstance I was in. So in that moment in that bathtub, totally helpless & weak, I saw how much I needed this Being. It had been years since my room turned into a prison, & my life was broken. So I began to cry, & while still on my knees, I whispered to the voice, “Okay! Okay! ALL! ALL!” Without realizing, I was surrendering my life to God. Then something happened. It was as if that moment had paused, & I noticed this calm peace came over me. I stopped crying after I had said the second “all” - & the voice didn't say anything again. I got out of the shower & went to my room. I didn't feel like crying with all my heart anymore. I was wondering at what had just happened. I had walked by my family, & they had no idea what had just happened to me. I didn't say anything. All they knew was that I went to go shower & went back into my room. About a few weeks later I was watching the Christian Broadcasting Network, & Pat Robertson was on television speaking about Jesus. He was saying things I could relate to, but it was when he said, “Jesus is the answer!” I leaned forward on the couch & sort of held my breath, & I was like “I get it! I get it!” That's when it clicked in my head. In that very second I knew the truth & EVERYTHING MADE PERFECT SENSE! It was as if something was taken off my eyes so that I could see. All of life made sense. Jesus was the missing piece. This God I heard about when I was a little girl, was all about His Son Jesus Whom He sent to the world. So I ran to my room & got on my knees, & I told Him, “I believe in you! I get it! I believe in you!” - & my life changed FOREVER. I had been born-again. Right after praying I called the number that was on the screen & told them what had just happened. They sent me a booklet called A New Creation along with a cassette tape. I received it on February 12, 2003, & I began to read it. I read: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17 I was going through a new experience. All of it with Christ in it was new. It felt like life itself was new. EVERYTHING was different- & I clearly remember thinking, “For some reason, I feel like my life is never going to be the same.” - & it was true. Those who have experienced the transforming touch of God, have been changed forever by the power of His love. ✝

Amen

I love you more than anything my 💕

“To be a missionary you don’t have to cross the sea, you just have to see the cross.” ✝ ~ Mark Cahill “THE ONE WHO WOULD HAVE REAL SUCCESS IN BRINGING OTHERS TO CHRIST MUST HAVE A LOVE FOR SOULS- a longing for the salvation of the lost. If we have no love for souls, our efforts will be mechanical and powerless. We may know how to approach men and what to say to them, but there will be no power in what we say and it will not touch the heart. But if like Paul we have 'great heaviness and unceasing pain in our hearts' for the unsaved, there will be an earnestness in our tone and manner that will impress the most careless. Furthermore, if we have a love for souls, we will be on the constant watch for opportunities to speak with the unsaved and will find opportunities- on the street, in the store, in the home, in the car, and everywhere that would otherwise have entirely escaped our notice. But HOW IS ONE TO GET A LOVE FOR SOULS? This question can be easily answered. First of all, a love for souls- like every other grace of Christian character, is the work of the Holy Spirit. If then we are conscious that we do not have that love for souls that we should have, the first thing to do is to GO TO GOD AND HUMBLY CONFESS THIS LACK IN OUR LIVES, AND ASK HIM BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT TO SUPPLY THAT WHICH WE SO SORELY NEED, and expect Him to do it... May God stir up your own heart to be one of those burdened to pray for true revival until God answers your prayer.” ~ R. A. Torrey
