My Personal Testimony- From Half Baked to Fully Baked
Transformed from Shame to Shine in the Light of the Lord!
I lived in guilt/shame of not being good enough for God to heal me.
I have been saved for 20 plus years, on July 10, 2022, God showed me during a healing prayer over me, that I felt, shame/guilt/unworthness to be healed. In 1988, I was in a parachuting accident, and was left paralyzed. After 3 months in the hospital, I was given the gift to walk again. But with great difficulty, I had a very pronounced limp followed by significant pain every step I took. For 34 years I was in great pain walking, leaning to the right side and leaned forward somewhat. On July 10th, 2022, I had a powerful breakthrough, that I am worthy of all He has to give me. God forgave me of the shame/guilt of feeling selfish to ask for complete healing. Once I surrendered this to God, the healing began. I realize now, during those years that I was saved, I never gave it all up. Like a "Half-Baked Christian. I am happy and filled with joy that God healed my body and continues to heal me, I am fully baked, and cant get enough of what the Lord has for me! Now I want to go the next step and be baptized, I want to die as my old and be reborn as His own!
A dear friend shared with me, God wants for me to be totally healed, and the guilt/shame and feelings of being selfish for more healing (after all, I was walking, from being a parapeligic) how could I ask for more? I attended her church, and after church on the last pew, her family and her along with two church members and prayed over me for releasing these burdens/sins to Christ. I did! Then the healing began! I walk straight up with no lean and very little pain. Praise God! All I want to do is serve Him!
I am free of the guilt/shame/unworthiness! It is so liberating, to be released from the bondage of the enemy for so many years! My Father and Savior Jesus Christ died for me. I am so humbled and grateful. He has wanted to heal me for years! I kept getting in the way of his Grace. I am so thankful, He never gave up on me.
It's been only a little over a week, since this transformation. I have peace, and do not worry, I no longer have shame/guilt/unworthiness. I know I can take anything to Him and leave it at His feet. The real test came, recently with my daughters family not being saved and may possibly be stuggling with substance abuse. Normally, I would worry and stress over the situation and feel hopless, that God is not hearing me. Now, I just give it all to the Lord and know, His will is done!
I have been transformed and reborn again! I know, there is nothing that will keep me ever from serving the Lord. I know, He went through a horrible death and rose again, just to ensure my sins are forgiven, I am His child. I know, I am a walking miracle. I know, all I want to do is serve Him! I for sure know, I am His child, and I can come to HIM FOR ANYTHING! Lastly, I know, when I die, I will be welcomed into the Kindom of Heaven!
Your testimony matters too
