What's your Story?
We all have a story to tell. Some of us have been raised in church all of our
lives. Others came from different Christian backgrounds, and God led us
into the truth. Some of us used to be pretty wild. Others never strayed
from the church. I would like for everyone to tell a little bit about themselves.
Particularly, how you came to know the Lord. Also, what do you do for a
living etc.....
I've put my testimony on this forum before, so I'll be brief and to the point.
If anyone wants to know more, I can expound on it later.
I was raised Southern Baptist. My dad was a medical professional, and the
president of the local country club. As a teenager, I'm in my low 40's now,
I quit attending church, got on drugs and nearly destroyed my life. Before
I got into such a mess, I had visited a Pentecostal church with a friend.
It was the pivotal point in my life. Even though, I did not give my life to
the Lord until later, what I felt in that service left an impression upon me
that I would never forget. A true visit from the Holy Ghost is always
something that is unforgettable.
A year later, I began having nerve and mental problems from LSD trips
that I had taken. I turned to my parents and confessed everything that I
had been doing. They took me to a psychologist, the only thing they knew
to do. Of course he could not cure me. Out of desperation I turned to the
Lord, and of course it was in the Pentecostal church where God had so
wonderfully visited me earlier. (I never would have dreamed that one day
I would be Pentecostal. I thought you folks were fanatics) After turning to
the Lord and receiving the Holy Ghost, I received a peace from God that
healed me of the problems that had been caused by drugs. This was 23
years ago.
God has blessed me wonderfully with a great wife. I have two great
teenagers. He also has blessed me with a career as a financial advisor, which
he led me into a few years ago.
Well here is a summary of my story! What yours? I'm looking forward to
reading them, don't be bashful.
