Cordie's Testimony - Through the Fire Undamaged
When I was a member of the James Island Fire Department, we were called out to a house fire. After we arrived it was noted that the fire was located in the den and consumed most of the entire den before we could get it extinguished.After putting the fire out we performed a clean up of all burned materials. This is known in fireman's lingo as salvage or overhaul. As I looked around the room, I noticed that the den had a player piano. It had gotten so intensely hot in the den that the keys on the piano were melted into one big lump. Some fires reach a thousand degrees or more.
As I was cleaning up the room I noticed a large book. I picked it up and discovered it was a family Bible. As I dusted it off it appeared to be in good shape. I took the Bible out to the lady of the house and gave her my regrets. This was the only thing to survive. As we looked at the book we noticed that the pages were not even tarnished. The Word of God had gone through the heat undamaged. This experience is one I will never forget.
Judy's Testimony - I've Never Been Happier
I am a mother of three and a grandmother to six. I went to church as a child but of course, when I got old enough to make my own decisions, I quit going. I started smoking cigarettes at sixteen, and also at that age, I had my first drink of alcohol.At first drinking was just an occasional thing, but as the years wore on, I drank more and more. We moved into a trailer park and one of my neighbors invited me to her church. I went off and on for about a year. I would go to church and come home and drink beer.
The day I gave my life to Christ was March 21, 2004. I wish I could say I never drank again, but I did. The last time I had a drink was June 6, 2004. Since then the Lord has taken away from me the taste for alcohol. I've never been happier. Now I believe the Lord is taking away my nicotine addiction. It has been three days. I want everyone to pray for me because I know God answers prayer.
Tara's Testimony - Clean for Six Years
I am twenty-nine years old, and life is good. It hasn't always been that way though. At age sixteen I was an avid drug user and drinker. I didn't know anything about the Lord, although my mother had me on the church bus every Sunday, to get me out of her hair for a couple of hours. It wasn't until I was about twenty, when I was walking home from one of the bars I frequented, that a bus full of Christians asked if I needed a ride home. I agreed, and they led me to the Lord.For years after that, I didn't go to church, or build any relationship with God. I still did drugs and drank. One day, I felt I had hit rock bottom and needed help. I cried out to the Lord, and he was there for me. Eventually, he freed me from all drugs. I have been clean for six years, praise God. I know I couldn't have quit on my own, but the Lord took it all away from me.
Now I have three beautiful children that know the Lord, and a husband that is learning. I still have a struggle with alcohol, but the Lord is doing a work in me. He has saved me so many times from the grip of hell, I know he will do it again. There is so much that the Lord has done for me, but it would take forever to write it all down. So, thank you for this opportunity to tell you what I was, and what God has made me now.
Tracey's Testimony - I Am Healed Completely
In July of 2003, I went in for a mammogram. The doctor did all the relevant tests and told me to go home. He said the lump that I had in my breast was benign. Two months later, praise God, he put me in so much pain in my breast that I insisted on having a second mammogram. I found out the next day after a biopsy was performed, that in fact I had a very high grade of infiltrating carcinoma. The surgeon that the doctor had referred me to, wanted a substantial amount of money up front before he would operate - money I didn't have.That night I told my husband's boss about my situation. He was an angel of God who changed everything. He referred me to an Oncologist where I had chemotherapy. The treatment worked together with the Holy Spirit, and after only four treatments the lump disappeared. I had a lumpectomy done, after which I had more chemotherapy and then twenty-six bouts of radiation.
After treatment my prognosis was so amazing I didn't need to take any tablets. Although the treatment was very aggressive, not once was I sick except for hair loss. I am healed completely. I have had four tests, and still no trace of cancer. I am not in remission, I am healed by the blood of Jesus Christ, and I am eternally grateful to the Father God. Jesus is and will always be Lord of my life.
