Hey in know I’m a bit knew here, but the biggest thing in my life is Jesus so I want to share my testimony band also ask fellow believers on here what your testimony is?
For me, I’ve always grown up in a Christian household, and I accepted the gospel when i was like 7, but my faith was not my own until about middle school where I went through a season on depression and anxiety. I remember being afraid to go to sleep because I knew that my anxiety was waiting to overwhelm me for hours. One night, my father told me to talk to Jesus about my worrries-AND IT CHANGED MY LIFE. I remember crying out to Jesus in the middle of my darkest night and being rescued. Jesus changed everything-my life is so full of joy and I can never thank Jesus enough- I see him working in every part of my life!!
How has Jesus changed your life? It doesn’t have to be long, or crazy, just please share your Jesus story!
And, if you have never accepted Jesus, Jesus loves you and died for you and if you ever want to be set free please feel free to talk with me you won’t regret it!
I had grown up in church like literally since I was a newborn so I’ve always known who Jesus was but when I was about 11 I knew WHO He was. I was getting bullied constantly at my co-op school. I dreaded going so much. I had just grown out of kids church, so my age just had to sit through Sunday services with everyone else. I didn’t have many friends anymore. I was just sad. I started going to youth group on Wednesday nights and I think that brought me to Him. I was always super shy but I felt like my calling was to be a worship leader. That seemed so uncomfortable and that’s how I know it was The Lord. I started praying more and more , I actually started on the worship team in youth! I have 8 great friends that I do all kinds of fun stuff with now and I’m not scared to worship freely and I love The Lord more than ever! I have seen His face and I am ruined for anything else now! I am so blessed to have such wonderful people at my church to pray and lift me up! I’m so grateful for how he has changed me!
I was i think 7 when my Christian family went to Life Action camp in Michigan. It was there I first came to our Savior. Since then, I had multiple times when I thought I wasn’t really a Christian and that rly made me think. Then came a time in my life when I felt like everyone of my friends was leaving me behind. I had no one to confide in except my closest friend who didn’t even feel like that sometimes. She often left me behind for her other friends. Then I read a book series (forget what it is) that was Christ centered and introduced me to a passage in Psalms. Psalm 139:7-12. It basically says that Christ is always with you and will never forsake you. That really hit home. But I never fully understood it ‘til I heard Psalm 139 by Ellie Holcomb. And then I realized that my worth is not in my friends but in Jesus. And I haven’t doubted my Christianity since then.
So good
Psalm 139 is my favorite Psalm I have it memorized and recite it every day because i. need that reminder constantly.
“ where shall I go from your spirit? It where shall I go from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there.
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
If I take wings of the morning, or dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me and your right hand shall hold me.
For you formed my inmost parts and you knitted me together In my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
I met Jesus when I was 2. Bad situation I won’t get into. But, just knowing of Him, was not the same as knowing Him. I grew up in an era that taught about Him incorrectly. I guess that still does happen though. I know He loves me. He is my all. I love Him more than my Jerry. (which is a lot). I love Him more than my children. And yes, in times of trouble through the years, I have mentioned that to them. Or her. I was so blessed the last couple of years when she came back to Him also. I still have other prodigals I am praying for. We plant the seeds. God does the work. I have had dreams and visions. They mostly came to me in deep despair when I turned fully to Him again. I know He is with me always. Heaven on earth (in the midst of the storms) started for me years ago. I am so thankful for His love and forgiveness.
I don’t think I’ve ever had like a certain huge moment, but since I’ve grown up with the knowledge that he exists and loves me, I’ve just always had Him with me whatever situation I’m in, and I find that very comforting! Also, all of my best friends go to my church, and they are really wonderful people that I can surround myself with. I’m homeschooled, but I see them most every day because of church things like activities, church, and seminary, so that’s really fun!
There IS a difference from you know Him and when you have a real encounter with the LIVING GOD!
That’s why I don’t argue Christianity or the Bible with anyone, until they encounter the LIVING GOD for themselves they don’t understand.
And,
People are willing to tolerate apparent inconsistencies in people they love but treat you like a caveman if you love Jesus. Jesus DID warn us about this!
“ “because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:9 ESV
There is more than just acknowledging God or having even revelations and dreams. God gave dreams to people in the Old Testament and even Pilates wife in the New Testament. Even the demons acknowledge that Jesus is real. (Not that I’m saying your demonic lol) But, you can’t just believe that Jesus loves you- you have to make a decision to follow Him and tell Him that you believe.
I’ve been going to church since birth, when I was five on the way to homeschool co-op me and my 6 year old brother told our mom we wanted to be saved so she pulled the car over and she explained it to us a little more (we were 5 and 6 so we needed it) and she prayed with both of us I remember that day even though I was five and always will (it was the most important day of my life!) I was baptized at 7 on Palm Sunday with five others about my age (another very important day in my life!) 2 years ago at church camp I realized I was not spending enough time at all in the scripture I still struggle sometimes with reading every day a verse that came to my attention and helped me was 2Timothy 3:16. Then I think it was within this last year that I realized that my personal prayer life was suffering my family prays before meals and I pray with my mom before bed but I realized that I was kinda just praying when I needed help (which is not how it’s supposed to be) so now every night after my devotions I sit and pray and not just for myself but for others and to thank God. I attend Sunday school and Church every Sunday morning and Youth Group on Sunday nights and help with a club for kids called Awana (maybe you’ve heard of it) on Weekdays and we have a couple week long camps like VBS in the summer that I help with! Pretty much all my friends go to my church or at least my youth group and a huge prayer that was answered for me recently was for me to find more good Christian friends (my best friend recently got married and moved away) and recently a lot more girls my age have been coming to my youth group and church!! I’m a teen now and still learning so much!! Btw Ty for making this post
I like that there are christians on this website. I thought that it was just me and another person. But there is actually a lot of us! And i thank God for that.
I am (growing) up in a Christian home. I recently (few years ago) went on a retreat for my youth group, where I accepted Jesus as my savior. About 2 months later I was baptized
and I can never thank Jesus enough- I see him working in every part of my life!!
