Gods Grace 🥰

Im becky, im 44yrs old. im a single mother of two. I grew up in a city called Swansea in Wales in the UK. I was brought up with a family of 6. There was my mother, step dad, 2 sisters and 1 brother and myself in a working class household. We had a house full of pets and from the age of 6-7 I can remember being apart of the Mormon church (false prophets). The Mormon church put the fear of God into my parents and other members by saying if any members left the church, God would slit their throat, deism-bowel you and rip your heart out. After years of fearing the church, and being to scared to leave, my mother built up the courage to walk away. My mother realized that the only true God is Jesus. Jesus died for our sins and Jesus gives us the gift of salvation and eternal life. When we receive Jesus as our lord and savior we are saved through grace by faith. After leaving the Mormon church my mum had a nervous breakdown from being mentally ripped apart. My mum was baptized and Jesus became her lord and savior. Not long after Me and my sisters started attending a Christian youth group where we also accepted Jesus as our savior and we were Saved. Hallelujah, praise God. Even though I grew up in the Mormon church for 6yrs with false teachings, I do believe this is where I learnt good values and beliefs. Romans 8.28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose"

However at the age of 14 the devil was at work. Not long after we got saved me and my 2 sisters got involved in things which were not of God. We started partying and going to the wrong places. Nightclubs, house parties and bars. iv partied until 6am in the morning, taken narcotics, drunk myself stupid, been promiscuous, smoked weed and swore like a sailor. During our times of drunkenness, and staying out late at night getting involved in the devils work, I know the hand of god was on our life and God was protecting us. When i reflect, Looking back God has always been with us. At the age of 17 I fell pregnant and at the age of 18 I gave birth to my son in May 1998. I was a single mother, living my life the way I wanted to. Like I always had done. I was trying my hardest to provide for my son, whist working different jobs (cash in hand), studying in college, still partying and not living according to Gods will or following his words. I was very distant and far from God. All throughout my early 20s I was very destructive. At 26 I lost my driving license through DD (drink driving). I was 3 x over the limit and banned for 18mths. By the grace of God I didn’t end up with a long prison sentence?? At the age of 29 my daughter was born in 2009. Me and her dad were together for 4yrs but our relationship ended and he moved out in 2012 when she was 3. So I returned to being a single mum. I was slowly getting back on my feet. Feeling Good, positive and happy with the decisions I was finally making. I had just started working in a lovely job and started studying in university. But no the devil could not leave me alone......Here comes his schemes Again…….....In July 2013 an old boyfriend (from when I was 24) came back into my life. He contacted me and we started a new relationship. At the age of 33, For the next 10yrs our relationship was on and off like tap water.breaking up and then getting back together Repeating cycles of False promises, False Commitments, False Love and lies. My Now Ex partner had a drug addiction and alcohol issues from a very young age. During our relationship I couldn’t see how much he was hurting us both and how much he was breaking me apart with his substance abuse. I was lying to my friends and family, letting them think things were good (even though they could see what was going on). I was hiding the truth that he had a drug addiction and he was abusive towards alcohol. 10yrs after In May 2023 at the age of 43 i came to a breaking point. I started having panic attacks, I was exhausted and my anxiety started getting bad. I had never suffered with these issues before. I heard God say to me that if I carried on I would not see my children grow up or have a future with them and I would not have a future myself. I had also fallen out of Love with my Ex partner and realized HE was not the will of God and i was committing sexual immorality. After hearing Gods whisper, I prayed silently with God in my bathroom and quietly asked God for a different life. A life that 'HE' wanted for me. I told God I didn’t want this life anymore. And Deep down the life i was living was hurtful and sad. And true to his word, God answered my prayer. It is written ‘It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear” (Isa. 65:24). “Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me!” (Psalm 66:20). By July 2023 God had gently removed my partner from my life. He collected his clothes and I deleted him from my life. After 20yrs of knowing him, chains were broken, bondage was defeated and the soul tie was smashed to pieces and I was set free. By Gods grace I still managed to achieve qualifications and succeed with my goals. In August 2023 I accepted Jesus back into my life, the Holy Spirit came upon me. It was electric, magnetic and the love I felt from Jesus is the love that I have never felt from anyone else. I was home. I was back with my savior in his loving arms. I nearly collapsed to the floor. On August 31st 2023 I had a spiritual awakening. I had an encounter with God. Demons were released from my soul and the sprit of God came upon me. The next few weeks were rough, Satan was everywhere, the enemy wanted me back. But God is stronger, through prayer and studying the bible, God helped me to build my strength. God has grown my strength to realize the difference between good and evil. Gods ways and satans ways. To know what's Right and wrong. Satan is a lier, God is truth. In October 2023 I was baptized. I gave my life to God, surrendering everything I had, my job, my kids, my finances and my family. My finances were a mess, i was struggling with debt and iv been going through the cost-of-living crisis. I thank God everyday for the blessings he has brought into my life, as i have been able to receive support and advice with my debt and God has blessed me immeasurably. It took me a while to start attending church. After God speaking to me through different resources I started to attend church in February 2024 and my life has completely changed. I feel accepted, I hold no shame or any guilt from my past and i feel peace everyday. I know God is working in my life everyday and i feel his healing and presence in every aspect of my life. It’s now December 2024. Jesus is moving in so many ways. I wake up everyday, i pray, I read the you version bible App, I read the bible, I write in my journals. I follow Jesus and try and live by his words the best way I can. We all make mistakes, we all sin but knowing I have Jesus who I can call upon everyday, who I can trust with my whole soul and who is always faithful, I know I have everything. Jesus shows us so much love and kindness. I love serving my savior. I serve the church (functions, Sunday school), I volunteer for CAP once a month (Christians Against poverty), I volunteer for Age uk (helpline worker) through Silverline once a week and help people 55 years and over. Whilst reflecting on my life, I reflect on how God has been so good to me, he’s been an awesome God, who has helped me through many things and helped me achieve many things even though Satan has wanted to drag me down and destroy me. With the strength Iv built through Jesus, Satan has no authority over my life, Satan has no authority over my family, my finances, my health, my wisdom or my love for God. God has authority over all of my life now and forever more. In this life and for all eternity. God is the beginning and the end, The Alpha and the omega. God is everything and the only one we need. I walk by faith and not by sight, i walk in the spirit and in truth and I walk with Jesus everyday. No possessions or worldly pleasures will never amount to the love i feel from my lord. I feel complete and i feel accepted knowing about Gods unfailing love he has for us.

Through my salvation and the love, kindness and peace Jesus has shown me I know that I have eternal life with my saviour. When I die my soul will live on in eternity. When you die do you know where you’re going?? I hope you choose heaven. You enter heaven by forgiveness and through the righteousness that Jesus gives you. It is written ‘“No one comes to the Father except through me” is a Bible verse from John 14:6. Jesus is my foundation, my rock and my stability. And his words are truthful and he is always faithful. The only one we need is God above all things. I want to tell other people, who feel stuck with no where to turn, who feel like all hope is lost......ITS NOT!! Shout to Jesus., Call on Jesus, turn to Jesus, cry to Jesus. God is with you, He loves and cares for you. His unfailing love never ends even through all our mistakes, sorrows and sinful nature, we are forgiven. SAY THIS PRAYER...... Jesus i accept you as my Lord and savior today. Come into my heart and come into my life. I need you, now and forever More Amen Don't be afraid or discouraged, For the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you 1 chronicles 28:20.

I have gained so much through having Jesus is my life. I have spiritually grown. All glory to God i have no addictions. God has helped me to heal physically, mentally and spiritually. I am no longer into sexual immorality, I no longer swear or blaspheme (what a transformation). I am striving to be more gentle, generous, forgiving, loving and kind just like God wants us to be. Genesis 1:27 God created man in his own image. God created us to be like him.

When I left my job in October 2023. I had no idea what I was doing. But I heard the Holy Spirit tell me to give up my job. Looking back now, God has wanted me to rest. It is written and scripture says Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" God has certainly giving me rest. I have been able to get to know Jesus again, I have been able to attend the alpha course, church and bible study. I have been able to grow my faith and trust in the lord. I have been able to become disciplined, committed and and have found love and respect for Jesus. I could never have done all this if I had still been working as I worked shifts. God has provided for all my needs. God promises to provide what we need (Philippians 4:19, Matthew 6:31-32). He created the universe and gives food to every living thing — including you and me. The same God who provides food for the animals will not allow us to go without (Psalm 145:15-16, Luke 12:24-26). Thankyou Jesus.

I know I have eternal life. I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins, for my sanctification and justification. I believe Jesus was dead and was resurrected on the third day. I believe Jesus showed himself to over 500 people after being resurrected and I believe he ascended to heaven and is seated on the throne at the right hand of God. Luke 29:69 ‘from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” The New Testament declares the entire old covenant obsolete. The principle is still good: we should remember to obey God. The old laws are abolished because we are saved through grace by faith. God has given us all a hope and a future and shows us all mercy every morning when we wake up and open our eyes. God knows our whole being and the life he has already prepared for us before he wove us together in our mothers womb. John 6:47 “Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.” John 6:54 “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” John 10:28 “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” I pray that my testimony helps you to open your heart and soul to Jesus because Jesus is coming back soon. It is written’ No one knows the exact time that the Savior will come again. “Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36) When you reach the Bible’s end in Revelation, Jesus makes a final declaration: “Yes, I am coming soon” (Rev. 22:20) To accept Jesus into your life read the passage below….Confess today with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 God is -Loving, kind, forgiving, generous, thoughtful, giving, sinless and full of joy. He brings us peace and comfort. God is our creator he is majestic, powerful and is sovereignty over all things. For the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.' Deuteronomy 20:4 - 1 Corinthians 15:57- Philippians 4:13 -. The Devil is - hateful, nasty, disobedient, hurtful, sinful, evil and cruel, The devil causes depression, anxiety and illness. The devil is a real spiritual being, not a myth or figment of the imagination. Referring to Satan, Jesus said that ‘The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy’ (John 10:10). The only reason the devil will come to you is to bring harm and destruction. He is an utterly evil being, with no hope of redemption or mercy. When you have time today think about- Who do you follow? Who do you belong to? What's-your-story?? I hope my testimony helps and encourages you to follow our savior. The one true God, Jesus Christ. May he pour out his spirit on you with many Blessings. Amen Xxxx
