Praise God for your testimony, and may God bless you abundantly.
Salvation for me was very clear when it happened. Because I had not clearly understood repentance.
I had only turned from my old life of sin.
And began to do all the right things.
There was something missing but I could not grasp, understand or even find what was the missing “ingredient” so to speak.
As I continued to gather for the word of God and prayer, the LORD made me to realise that I had no assurance of salvation in my heart.
Even though I was outwardly living the Christian life, I could never freely, spontaneously, openly confess the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
The day I realised that I actually didn’t know where I was going if I died that night and the seriousness of it, I immediately did something about it.
Not that I could twist Gods arm, but I stayed on my knees that night and told God all my heart and to please speak to me.
Immediately God told me to “Repent”
How many times had I heard that word and not understood to fully surrender to God through His Son Jesus Christ.
So from that moment of repentance,
It was no longer I will do this and that,
But, LORD what would you have me to do. LORD, please guide me today by your Holy Spirit.
Yes! Daily die to self, because God is looking for instruments/vessels that He can use.
Without full surrender, God cannot use us.
May God bless you.

I just looked at the date closer and see that these are from 2021.
Just another reminder for us to double check when a newbie or someone restarts a thread that doesn't look familiar. Not criticizing because I've done it too. It's just a chunk of time from my day that could be more productive.

I gave him benefit of the doubt even though he just said this and took off back then.
Just in case this guy didn't have Google spell check change his statement and is under the same spell as some of the prosperity false gospel preachers, here's a popular one. I know that spell check does a number on our writing and we don't always proof read twice. However, There are too many of these out there. I don't miss my TV channels.
