i had an awful pain inside when i was 17 -i'd already tried a lot of alcohol and drugs to try to kill it...
i'd been physically beaten since i could remember, and sexually molested since i was three. i thought there was something terribly wring with ME ... and it hurt so BADLY !!! (we didn't go to church) i started "seeking" some answers about 12 yrs old ... i heard about Jesus, but i didn't know what is was all about, and i didn't know anyone who did ! at this time, i was poppin' 'bennie's' and 'dexie's' and drinking cheap wine, locked in my bedroom at home. i was shaking so badly, and wanted OUT OF PAIN ! i went into the bathroom and tried to cut my wrist with a double edged razor. it wouldn't cut me, tho... i cut the counter and a towel, but it slid right off my wrist. i went back in my 'black-lit' room, shut the door,and laid back on my bed and said: "God, if you're up there?...i need help!" a bright light came in my room, i felt the drugs leaving my body, and i was a little scared! then, somehow, i knew it was the answer to my doubt-filled S.O.S.! I was INSTANTLY sober! i felt something come over me that was unrecognizable. it took me awhile to define it... it was PEACE ! i had honestly never felt anything like it in my life! i fell asleep! IMPOSSIBLE with all the 'speed' i had in my system, but i woke up, got on the bus, and told my boyfriend: "Jesus Christ saved me last night !" he laughed, and said i'd better share whatever i was taking... even my Mom didn't believe me! That was the defining moment of my life ! i've never been the same since that night ! it is my most precious memory, but it never could be repeated or duplicated. i do recommend it, however, to the most doubting of all! lorna |

WHY DID THEY DIE? When in 1971 my parents and girlfriend at that time all died withing three months of each other. I was devastated. "I had lost the three dearest people in my life." "I spent the next 14years a loner. i wouldn't mix with my workmates, i never went out, and when I went on holiday I went alone." I was working in the Crematorium in Worthing West Sussex. "So i was seeing death all day, every day."
INVITED: One of the funeral directors who visited the crematorium regularly told me he would like me to come to a barbecue being held at his church. I was reluctant to go but went, and enjoyed it. "I liked what I saw," I recall "love, friendliness, friendship and happiness." I even started attending a 12 foundation course being run by the church--until they reached week six which was about the love of God and what we should be doing for him. I said: "No way am i doing this after what happened in 1971! Why should I?" I stormed out and went home. "i smashed up my flat, the furniture, television, the lot. "Then i took 12 barbiturate tablets and said to God, 'if you want me,take me!" With that, i collapsed on my bed. "About 5min later i had the most amazing experiance. I felt myself being rocked from side to side, and a warmth spread over me. "The room came alight and i saw the the Lord Jesus. He stretched out his hand to me and said, 'Peter, I want you, I need you and you're mine.' Then the room went dark." The next morning I went round at the Pastor's house at 6.30, knocking on his door. He opened the door, and I told him what had happened during the night .I could not stop crying. The pastor said: "Peter, it's your old life being washed away and your new life coming in." When i went to work my workmates could no believe the change in me. I now have a lovely new wife. |

IM tanya , rawny/isabella's mam , i was a chatholic and from a small child my dad taught me to say my prayers, i loved Jesus but didnt realy know him, we went to church most sundays , i was about 20 or 21 at the time , when we went to the church wich was very livley , but my family started goin to a pente church, i started to experience demonic presence and it wouldnt go , i wasnt scared at first cos it was just someone breathing, but after a long time i was scared and being a supersticous traveller went to mediums and all sorts who said it was my grandad, anyway my mam took me to see the pastor and he showed me the story of the rich man and lazerus, and how there are spiritual powers of darkness at work in our lives , i started to go to church then, and eventually gave my heart got baptised, but after my dad died i was very bitter and couldnt find the peace God promised me, being young i backslided. but i always knew he wouldnt give up on me as a woman gave me a word how God told her he would let me go but pull me back again when i had been to the brink, about 5 year ago he pulled me back after long years of praying for help and re giving my life countless times with nothing, i went to a gorgas church with my cusin aafter the 2nd week i thought well i might as well go for parayer here too , cant harm, so i did, and God moved in a MASSIVE WAY He flooded my heart and life with love and forgiveness , a few weeks after he baptised me in the spirit , and tho i suffered tremedous demonic attack again , he sustained me, he opened the bible too me in ways i never saw before , he gave me a understanding of the old testamont, and escatolgy, and a deep love for his people the jews, as my Lord is a Jew, me and isabella went to israel last year where she was baptised in the river Jordan , and tho there are tough times , i know My Beautifull Jesus is with me , and i praise him daily for each mercy and blessing ,, Shalom to you all brothers and sisters , in His Name , xx
