My testimony from brokenness to redeemed and set free

Before I was born again I was an addict deep in shame and despair.

I remember having anxiety to the point of being admitted into a mental hospital. I made mistakes because of the addiction that had me captive that caused me to loose everything.

I was in my shop crying still in sin reading the Bible at night listening to worship music on October 25, 2021. I dropped my arms and said “I can’t do this and never can, I’m yours” and when I said surrendered it came from my heart. Shortly after that I kept reading and there was a bright light and the ground shook. As that happened the song I was listening to was Rattle by elevation worship And the sound faded out and I couldn’t hear it anymore. Then I felt like I was looking down at where I was standing. I saw the Holy Spirit descend down like a dove. At that time A feeling of deep love, peace, romance that I’d never experienced before came into my heart. Then I became 100% sure about everything written in the Bible. I felt a type of belief that I’ve never experienced until then. I knew the gospel of Jesus christ. I could feel every heartache of my past leaving my heart. The chains that had me bound for so long were broke. I could literally feel everything bad in my heart disappear. I immediately started walking around to check to be sure no tools fell off the walls but they hadn’t. I was in such a dark place and in a instant it was all gone.

I am now on fire for Jesus. I’m no longer an addict. I’m off all my anxiety and depression medication. I love in a way I never know how to love before. I am directed in a new way to glorify Jesus in everything I do.

I am at peace in every area of my life like I’ve never experienced. I look forward to eternal life and encourage everyone I come across that is struggling with addiction there is a way out and Jesus can set them free just like He did me.

When I saw a bright light, the ground shook, and the Holy Spirit descended down from heaven I became anointed constantly from the Holy Ghost for about 2 1/2 months. When I was looking down on myself right after I saw that light and remembering coming back to myself like I had been in the presence of the Lord. There is a type of belief in me now that assures me I am a child of God and everything in the Bible being straight from God. There is no longer any doubt about my eternal salvation.
