Carried by Jesus
- I had a life filled with tragedies, living for the next "bad" day. I started praying and one day everything changed. I collapsed and fell to the floor, and as I lay on that floor looking at the empty pill bottle in my hand, I heard Jesus. He picked me up and carried me when I could no longer walk. After four years of living as a high functioning drug addicted workaholic; I fell into the arms of God. I have no pain, no withdrawal symptoms, and no job. Jesus heard my prayers and life began that day on the floor. Yes, my new life is a miracle.

God Woke Me Up
- For 13 years I read tarot cards and cast "white magic" spells. Gradually I moved on to hexes, which I used against anyone who offended me. In addition, I was a big fan of “mature stories”. Inspired, I started writing similar tales and posted them online. I was proud of this! God eventually took matters in His own hands and woke me up from that lifestyle. I’ve become very restrictive with the things I read, the things I watch on TV and the websites I visit. Because of this, my friends and I drifted apart, but one night last February God spoke to me in a dream. He said, "Even though your friends have forgotten about you, I haven't!" Then (in the dream) a dove flew up and settled on my left shoulder. Sometimes it may seem like God doesn’t know or care that you’re alone, but He does.

I Found God
- I was in a world of sin. I was drinking and I got into a bad relationship. I thought I could maintain, but I couldn't. I was drinking, doing drugs, and I had to get some help. I went to a Gospel shelter for women, which is a non profit organization, and I found God. I love the people, and even more, I love me today. I will be going to school to be a certified alcohol and drug counselor in March. I remember waking up with hangovers and not wanting to live. I was ashamed Today, when I wake up, I want to live, and I don't wake up with hangovers anymore. I wake up sober. I love living. The shelter really helped me. I love this place. I am better today. I love my roommates. I am sober today. Thank you, God.

Jesus Found Me and Brought Me Close
- "You are precious in my eyes and I love you." God can break through anything! And nothing can limit him! He says "come to me, I don't hide on anything evil, all I want is to be with you. All my heart desires is to love you. I will never forsake you nor leave you. I am with you. I'm here. I won't leave. There's nothing I wouldn't do just to hold you. You are everything to me. I love you more than my own life." Jesus is the most beautiful I know. He gives "life" meaning. I hold onto him because He's the only one who can fulfill me. He's truth. And the truth is stronger than anything else...

God Redeemed Me
- I praise God because he delivered me out of darkness. I was walking in my own path of sin and degradation and married a man who was an alcoholic and heroin addict. He was abusive to me. I went through five years of hell and wanted to die. I cried out to God and He rescued me completely through His love. He taught me to forgive and be forgiving, freed me from my chains! Praise God.

Our Princess
- Back in 2002, we lost our granddaughter, daughter, niece, and cousin to murder. Our granddaughter (Princess) was only 6 years old. How our hearts had been so broken. We prayed to God many times with many tears and anger. I just never wanted to go to church or read the Bible. Finally, I went out drinking. I left my family and just didn't care. I woke up one day and prayed and God was there for me. I asked him to forgive me, help me and guide me. Not only was I suffering from this, in April my friend died, then after that, my daughter's 22-year-old boyfriend died in a farming accident. They had just gotten engaged that Sunday. My nephew, 18, died in a murder, then my 1-year-old nephew died. It was more than I could handle after leaving home, so I came back home and am right with God. I pray that the family all gets right with him.

A New Creation
- I was an agnostic when I met my soon-to-be husband. We met in college back in 1981. He shared with me about his faith in Jesus Christ. We dated for five months and then got married. He quietly prayed that God would somehow bless our marriage. One night, just three months after we got married my eyes were opened. I was unable to sleep and God's Spirit was working on my heart. I realized that there was a wall between me and God because of my rebellion towards Him. I felt so convicted. I prayed to God for forgiveness and asked Jesus Christ to come into my life. I had such a peace inside. The next day I told my husband. I began reading the Bible and studying it. The Lord wanted me to forgive people who have hurt me. He began healing me emotionally. He helped me overcome the fear of people, driving, and taking risks in life. He gave me a compassionate heart for people. I now enjoy reaching out to young children and elderly people. I have a heart that's gentle now.

Shine Brightly
- I once lived my life in the darkness, hidden from God's grace, but recently I have been born again with the help from my church Potter's House, Newcastle upon Tyne England. Their love and support has given me the strength to witness in public and witness to all who want to know of how God can and will love you for eternity, if only, like me, you give your life to Him. All I can say briefly is that you too can shine brightly. Do not be afraid to step into the light. God does not want us to be alone. Make a bold step into the light and be loved ... and love and care for one another. Then you will know what it is like to have our Lord and Savior in your heart, and then you will shine with hope and strength.

Healing
- I was suffering from a skin allergy caused by food since 2007, and was taking medication till I was suddenly healed this year (2010) during the Lent fasting period (17th Feb - 4th April, Easter). What surprises me is that I didn't pray for myself during this period. I was only praying for my loved ones who were in a worse state than me. The Lord is so lovable and kind to those who are faithful to Him. My message to others is to love, obey, and thank the Lord always, and all your problems will flee.

Popcorn Testimonies Helped Me
- Has anyone experienced a feeling whereby you really need someone to talk to, but even though the world is filled with people, you feel that you are all alone? That was how I felt until I read some popcorn testimonies and realized that God still loves me even though it seems I'm not even worth a smile or greeting from someone else. I thank Him for enabling me to come across these testimonies. Reading other people's stories gave me hope and strength to face another day because there is nothing as painful as rejection coming from people around you because of your past. Recently, I have felt shame because of my past. No matter how hard I try to move on, my past surfaces and ruins my relations. A few days ago my shame was so bad that I did not even love myself. Reading testimonies gave me hope to realize that this is the reason why God died for me, for my past, as shameful as it is, so that i can have a guilt free future full of God's promises. Praise be His name!

Getting Well
- I am in my late 40's and my life was a mess. I smoked too much, had breathing difficulties, ADD, depression, and anxiety. I was unhealthy in heart, mind, soul and body. The Lord took my nicotine addiction away. For that alone I give thanks continually, for I was too weak to do it, and it was killing me. He snapped me out of my depression and my social anxiety is much, much better! Thank you Lord, for loving me!

Snatched from Darkness into Light
- In Oct. 2007 I encountered the Holy Spirit. Being touched by the Spirit on the death of my father is something I will never forget, and I wonder what it was that lead him to come to me at that time ... why he choose then? I felt love, peace. I fell into a prayer at his passing. I was in Australia at the time, and he was in New Zealand. It was a huge emotional time for our family. And from there I began a journey, a journey that God has walked me through. Growing up with drugs, violence, gambling, fraud, theft, emotional, physical and sexual abuse ... Almost every sort abuse you could think of, I witnessed it. I was a part of it. I was consumed in it and it became a part of me. It was my outlook on life. At one stage in my life my parents knew the lord and those are fond memories for me. I remember hearing about my grandparent's lives in Christ and often thought how beautiful it sounded. And now I know ... I know love and peace since that day I was snatched from darkness into light.

The Vision
- One day my friend gave me a book 'Beyond the Veil' by Gulshan Esther to read. After finishing the book I broke into tears and my thirst for the Lord increased. I wanted to meet the author in person and I told my friend about this. She told me not to worry and you need not meet anyone, the Lord knows your heart and he will come to you. Believe me, after a week, one Friday morning around 6 a.m. (Indian Local Time) a vision appeared to me. In that vision I saw myself going somewhere when suddenly I saw a rare statue - two Jesus'. One in a sitting position with His head bowed down and the other Jesus lying on the lap of the first Jesus. I slowly approached the statue and suddenly the Jesus sitting lifted His head and spoke the words, "Give thanks to the Lord." The moment His breath came upon me, I experienced a very rare feeling and the whole area started to glitter and it was such a beautiful sight - very rare and very precious. Jesus is real and I had the chance to see Him.

My Life is of Testimonies
- I was arrested, but he delivered me. I fell seriously sick; People thought I was going to die, but he healed me as if nothing happened to me. I work for a company and closed one evening and took the company car, and strangely the engine of the car seized on the way. But God still touched my boss' heart to forgive me. To God be the glory and praise. There are other testimonies, which l shall give later.

Jesus: "I Will Never Forsake You"
- After going through three failed boyfriend relationships, I came to realize how much God loves me and protects me all the time. I wanted to have a relationship that would eventually lead to marriage. Of course, none proposed. I was not at peace with the failure, and I lashed out at man. I considered myself a failure. But, every time I thought that, a voice said, "I will never leave nor forsake you." I learned to forgive and love in a Christian sense. I realized that I don't have to be married to a human man to be complete. As a believer, I am already married to Jesus Christ. I might sometimes feel lonely, but I will never feel empty as Jesus Christ fills my cup to overflowing. Through him, my life has value, a purpose, and a reason to live. And to him, I'm perfect.

God is Real and He Healed Me
- I knew that God was real when I was healed after suffering from seizures for the first 15 years of my life. I was born with hydrocephalus, a disorder that causes fluid to build up on the brain. My healing from the seizures has changed my life. It showed me that the power of prayer is real and it does make an impact on our lives. I'm 27 years old and I'm still seizure free to this day. I owe my cure to the healing power of prayer and the miracle of God!

A Second Chance
- In March of last year, I was run over in a crosswalk by a car going 50 miles per hour. I spent one month in a coma. I am still trying to get my senses about me! However, the one thing I have no doubt about is that I was given a second chance by God to come to Him. If I would have had to face Him on that day, I would have been in big trouble. I'm sure that all the good people in prayer groups helped God to give me more time. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart, and give praise to God! I hope this testimony speaks to someone out there who just needs a little boost. God does make a difference.
