My Story

I remember growing up in a Christian home, going to church, Sunday school and 'giving my life to Christ' at every opportunity of an altar call. To be honest, I was more scared of the stories of hell and the threats of my Sunday school teachers, than actually getting to know the Lord and Saviour for myself.

I had the knowledge of good and bad but always opted for bad had to 'give my life to Christ' over and over again. I knew God, Holy Spirit and Jesus but to me, I could never have direct access to them because I was not a pastor, prophet or someone with a higher calling.

I wasn't a picture of a very bad child but I tried so many things in my teenage years and early twenties. I remember going through a very difficult time in my life (will share this someday) early 2017. Honestly, I cannot actually explain how I felt but I remember I had depressive thoughts, giving up thoughts and also those of being very useless. One day, in my room, I asked the Lord to show me that He is real. I wasn't so sure why I said this but I remember I was tired of being alone in that situation. I said "God, if you are real, You just have to show yourself to me. I am tired of feeling this way and I want to feel differently. If you are real to me, I promise I will never look back". At that point, I felt so weird, cold, shaky, scared, peaceful and happy. It was a very weird feeling but there was someone or something else in the room with me. I went to bed that night a different person (inexplicably different!!!!). I woke up the next day and started to have conversations with 'myself' and 'my mind' started to give me answers. I tried and tested the power of God, I asked for so many random things and I got answers in weird ways. The Lord led me to a church in Coventry and by November 2017, I had radically given my life to Jesus. I knew I was never turning back - then my journey started.

I met the Holy Spirit and there was a constant fire burning within me. Every night in my room, I would have an encounter with the Holy Spirit while studying my bible with a cup of tea. It was so exciting and I just wanted to be with Him. It was an amazing point of my life and things changed easily for me. I remember asking the Holy Spirit to help me give up so many things. Things that I had tried to give up so many times in my life and I remember the Holy Spirit saying to me "Don't worry I've got this". 

My life changed so much!!!! Ask my friends LOL. Some of them were not so happy about the boring person I had become. Honestly, I didn't want to know about any parties, drinks or whatever was happening in the world. I only wanted to talk about Jesus, go home, lock my doors and bask in the presence of my Lord.

There are so many amazing stories of people meeting the Lord and every time I hear testimonies, I start to tear up and remember my moment(s) with Him. Some stories are very simple, some are dramatic but they are stories that need to be owned and shared.

So guys, if you have your story, please share with people...and if you don't have a story yet, it'll come.  Seek Him and open your hearts to Him.
