From the article: Popcorn Testimonies
Popcorn testimonies are quick, spontaneous stories telling how God intervened in your life. Each brief account reveals a life transformed through Christian faith. If you've experienced a unique and life-altering encounter with God, we'd like to hear about it.

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.
