Hello everyone I'm new here. I gave my life to Christ last week,for the second time in my life. I know what your thinking "second time" what is this guy talking about.well it's quite a testimony. You see when I was 16yrs old and in high school one of my best friends took me to a Pentecostal church, I eventually gave my life to Jesus and got saved. I remember two years into my new life I started questioning my faith because I felt as god did not not have a purpose for me. Then I went to this youth conference, and I remember this one night I said to God if you truly are real and this is the life you want me to be in then I need a sign I need you to speak to me. Well during the worship part of the service I raised my hands and closed my eyes. The next thing I remember is I hoped my eyes and I went from the center of the row where my seat was to the alter dancing and speaking tongs with the holy spirit running though me.
Well needless to say I fell into the wrong crowds after high school, I started partying and having sexual relationships with women and through time I would lose faith. It got to the point to where I would deny Gods attempts to allow him back into my life, but he never gave up I would walk into a restraint bathroom and see a pamphlet that would say Jesus love you, or a billboard that would say Jesus loves you. It was all around me and I would still deny him. It got so bad that I allowed my life style to allow myself to just say what god there is no god and I don't believe in god. However deep down inside I knew he was still speaking to me in some sort of way.
I'm 48 now and about a month ago I saw a long list cousin on FB and I friend requested him, little did i know he was in the ministry. He would eventually start talking to me about God, and church. I live in Bethlehem PA and he live in Oh. So to make this long story short last week he says to me George have you excepted God as you lord and saviour yet. I said "NO" I am still battling with questions. More like I felt guilt and embarrassment, so much that I knew I let god down and he probably did not want me back. Well after a nice talk with my cousin I went to meal prep for the week. I could honestly hear my cousin who is in OH praying for me, I did nothing anything of it and went to bed. Later that morning around 1AM I woke from a horrible dream and retrieved to the living room. I got on the computer and had a message from my cousin with some bible verses. With tears in my eyes and joy in my heart I knelt beside my couch and surrendered to God for the second time in my life.
So since the only Christian I know is my cousin right now i joined here to make friends share bible verses and hopefully through church and prayer i can walk the path God wants me to.

You may want to have a mod move this to the Testimonies forum, since it IS a testimony.
