    I came to saving faith in Jesus Christ on March 4th 1995.After thirteen years of alcohol and drug abuse which started in my early teens I got to a place where that lifestyle wasn't fun anymore.I never held a job, bummed off people.Many believers and preachers in my family tried to witness to me.I would listen but never was interested in knowing about Jesus even though I was headed for Hell.I can attest of many times Satan tried to take my life as a sinner but God had other plans.One night my preacher Uncle told me he was holding a revival and invited me.all that day I thought about it.i was invited to a party that night also.Something in me prompted me to go to the revival.I sat each night telling myself I wasn't going to go back after first night. On the fourth night of this revival at the altar call I headed to the altar but made it only to the front pew as I fell to my knees and cried to God for forgiveness.He saved my, baptized me in thr Holy Ghost a month later.I was water baptized four years later.I have since been involved in various aspects of ministry mostly outreach and street preaching.

    Praise God & welcome to the family. I myself was baptized with the holy spirit so no need to be baptized of water. Bless you for allowing Him in your heart.

    Thank you Bshiff68 for sharing your wonderful testimony. Clearly, the Lord had plans for your life even when you were once ensnared by the awful hell-bound promises that this world gave you. You were in God's elect according to His Foreknowledge ( 1 Peter 1:2) & His Spirit did everything, in His Time, to turn your heart towards God & give you a receptive heart & mind. Your words spoke to me again, of the amazing Power of God to keep you focussed & not be sidetracked, when Satan's appeal to your mind would have been the strongest. This is nothing but the Work of God in you & he has now taken you to where the lost, aimless wandering souls are, to share His Light & Love (where you once were). May the Lord bless your labors, seeing fruit in His Time, that the praise might go to Him alone.
