I was Lost but now I am Found

September 12th, 2009

At 14 i started experimenting with drugs. I dropped out of school because i skipped so much school it became the point of no return. Everyday was a mission to get high on some sort of pain pills. I have overdosed so many times i cant even count on both hands. I never thought about god. I didnt think about tomorrow. I was a thief, a drug addict and over all a miserable person. At the time i thought there was no way out. I would occasionally think that all it took was my own will power or maybe just to quit my job so i wouldn’t have any money. So i did. That’s when i started stealing money from my family. Then one night sitting in the living room nodding out on oxycottin i started watching kirk cameron on t.v. And when i heard what they were teaching i started understanding the gospel. It was the truth and i couldn’t deny it anymore. I knew god was angry at me. Seeing myself in all his holiness made me feel ashamed of my sins. I mean here is this unconditional love that god has for me and everyone and i have been sinning against him! It was a change in my life. I began to pray, read the bible, and meditate on gods word and because i knocked he answered me and gave me a new heart, a new life, and after all my transgressions i was forgiven and the holy spirit came into my life and no drugs could compare to the holiness and pureness of a new body and mind that god gave me. If you are saved you know what I’m saying, instead of thinking about myself i see life totally differently. I’m know 17 years old. I now like apostle Paul i realize that my life is meaningless except to speak the truth of the gospel. Thank you for reading my testimony. Peace be to you. amen.

    Hi Nicolai,
    Praise the Lord for you are such a vessel whose purpose is just to be filled by Him!
    Your simple testimony truly touched me. You’ve really sanctified the Lord through your sharing. I’m 18 and I also find that pursuing the Lord is so sweet. May the Lord continue to bless you and me with His riches.

If the road ahead gets hard , keep praying and relax while you pray. hold the bible on your chest and breath. the road sometimes will get difficult, but keep that bible in your home , and pray with it in your hands bro , them words are holy for sure , remember the lord of lords is with you …..right now even
