My Testimony
Monday, January 26, 2009
This is a heart-touching testimony that was sent from a young sister in Norway. What started as a little push in her life to go to the YF Italy camp, ended in a cascade of life changing experiences.
My testimony!
I want to share this testimony with you, because I think and hope it becomes a pleasure and blessing to you.
The road back to Jesus started when dad asked if I would go to the Italy camp. He told a little about it, and I was a little skeptical in the beginning; since I had to go all the way to Italy for only a weekend. But then I got my friend to go with me, and off we went to the camp.
Before the Italy camp, I was a little off, I didn't really care that much about the Message. I believed and I knew the truth, but I never read and I hung around with my worldly friends. They influenced me in the very wrong direction. But I had my life experience in Italy. It was a fantastic weekend, and I met wonderful young people! And the last meeting, I had a really good meeting with our Heavenly Father! It changed me a lot afterwards.
I have been asking much when there have been home services, that I really need a new meeting with Him after the Italy camp. And He met me again after we went to Jeffersonville, about 2 months afterwards. It was also my two best weeks ever! I had a great time, and it was a real blessing to be with young Message believers. There are not many of them here in Norway, so it can be hard sometimes.
When I got home, I felt like a new person. I spent much of my spare time to listen to the tapes of Brother Branham and reading my Bible. It is truly a blessing! Three weeks afterwards, when I was in my room with my laptop on my lap, I was talking with a brother in Christ; he showed me some quotes that I will share with you:
It'll come to pass!
Everything He's got in His Kingdom belongs to us. He just takes the whole big Book full of checks, and signs His Name on the bottom of them, say, "Here you are, son. Anything you need, go get it." Amen.
Don't be afraid to fill it out. Fill it out and hand it in, say, "Thank You, Lord." Hallelujah. It'll come to pass.
"Whatsoever things you desire (Mark 11:24), when you pray, believe you'll receive it, you shall have it."
Sign out the check, say, "Lord, I need healing." Tear it off, say, "There You are, Lord, I ask in Jesus' Name for healing." Say, "Thank You, Lord," and walk right on, believe for the healing. That's right. Like them crows sending down that food to Elijah. There it is.
Say, "I need salvation for my soul." What will you do? Just write out and say, "Said, 'Come unto Me, all ye that labor and heavy laden; I will give you rest.' That's for me, Lord." Fill out the check. "I need salvation. Hand it to me, Lord."
"Here It is." "Thank You, Lord." Walk away with it.
Need the Holy Ghost? Yes, sir. "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem till you're endued with power from on High. After this the Holy Ghost come upon you, you will be witness of Me in Jerusalem, Judaea, and Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the world." You believe It? Fill out the check and send it up signed, see what happens. God will give it: God's provided way. He provided you a Checkbook; go ahead and fill it out. God promised it. You believe that? Sure. God always has a provided way.
God's Way That's Been Made For Us: 52-0900
I have been praying about receiving the Holy Ghost, because I knew it is the best thing Jesus could give me as a Christian. After I read it, I ran to the table where my checkbook was, and I wrote down: “I want the Holy Ghost!” And I said: “Now, Lord; now I know that I get the Holy Ghost soon. Thank you! Amen.” Right after I had said it, something hit me and a Spirit came over me that I cannot describe. I just fell down on the floor and I started to cry. I crawl over to my bed; I felt I couldn't stand on my feet. I was shaking, crying, and thanking my Lord!
I felt like another person inside. It was something there that has never been there. I have felt quite lonely for a while, after I left Jeffersonville. But now I have power from our King with me all the time, I know!
God bless you all!
A sister in Christ
P.S. I really hope it will be a blessing for you all! Thank you for the check book!
God bless you!
