How Is Jesus Made A Big Impact On My Life?

Loving and worshiping God began to be more and more part of my daily thinking, motives, actions, and decisions.

Furthermore, Sunday was constrained by an obsession to tell others how he had finally found inner peace and a more purposeful life. At first through lectures and then in sermons, he related how Jesus Christ gave him a new life of meaning, peace, and hope. This same gospel, he said, would similarly transform others. The evidence is overwhelmingly that it did.

I had been a “Christian” for years, being raised in a Christian home it was just the thing to do. However this meant nothing to me at the time I was a Christian because everyone else was. So after a long time and the struggles I went through, I was so far gone and away from what God had planned for my life that it looked like there was no hope. This is when something happened to me something incredible God restored my life and brought me home, out of my sin. Now this didn’t happen over night it was a process which took a matter of months, but it started the night I fell on my knees and realized I had been living a lie and that I was not a Christ follower, I knew the stuff but never applied it to my life and let it change my life.

Getting to know my faith more has really changed my life, Before I started going back to church my life was falling apart but while I was learning about the Holy Spirit, God, Jesus Christ made me lead to the right direction. My Faith means a lot to me now that I am able to understand every detail about the

Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we

From the time I was small I learned that God created the heavens and the earth and he created Adam and Eve and put them in the garden and they sinned which made it harder on the future generations. We learned that the world just got

I remember looking for decorations for my room and I saw a canvas with the quote “When you see only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that he carried you.” I immediately fell in love with it, it has impacted my life tremendously. God carried me through a situation most people would think of as not a big deal, the situation was having to give my dog away. It was really hard and God helped me get through it.

It was amazing what total surrender did to turn my life around. My double life died as I became single minded for God. I could not get enough of his word, prayer, worship and fellowship with other believers. God began to lay a strong foundation of faith in me that would begin to grow and produce good works for his kingdom. Walking with God has not always been easy. I had times were I have been faithful to God and times when I have grown cold toward him. I thank God that he never gives up on me. I thank God that his mercies are new everyday. Almost two years ago, I lost my husband and my mother on the same day. I lost my father ten months later. If I not built a foundation and if I had not developed intimate relationship with God I would have never made it through the most difficult time of my life. If God had not healed me of the brokenness of my youth, I would never have believed he could heal me of these new

Throughout my life, I have impacted the lives of few people. Growing up around non-Christian relatives it was hard to express my faith around people who never heard about God. Although it was a challenge for me, I was able to reach out to one my closest cousins.

DONE, gave Mr. Herbert revelation. He realized that for the last couple of years, because of a sin he committed, that he was a “DO” focused on religion feeling he had to do “works” to get back into God’s grace, and receive his forgiveness.

For the first time I discovered the Bible… I had often preached. I had seen a great deal of the Church. And talked and preached about it, but I had not yet become a Christian… I know that at that time I turned the doctrine of Jesus Christ into something of personal advantage for myself… Also I had never prayed, or prayed very little. Then the Bible, in particular the Sermon on the Mount freed me from that. Since then everything has changed. (Metaxas 2010, 123).

As an example, I can remember at one point in my Christian walk when I felt like I lost my zeal for God and the need to worship God. I felt like the gifts that he put on the inside of me were all gone. That feeling was very consistent until one day I began to pray and ask God to give me the zeal to want to worship him again. Through many months of praying and many influential spiritual leaders in my life, I was able to gain the zeal that I once lost back again. During that time in my life it was not an easy journey, but I knew that if I wanted to see change in my Christian walk that I had to meet God half way. I also knew that I had to make the effort to pray and read the word of God more. Today, I continue to pray and seek spiritual guidance to work through those challenges and many other challenges that come my way daily as a

I am a proud grandmother of 4 and have learned that I have a Savior, Jesus Christ. I have learned I am not a victim, but a victor.

Since the day I was born my parents took my sister and me to church ever Sunday. I grew up in a loving Christian home and was encouraged at an age where I could fully understand, to purse a relationship with Jesus. I accepted Christ into my heart when I was in the second grade and was baptized in the fourth grade at age 10. Growing up I have always been super involved in Church. I have a heart for people and love serving. Since 3rd grade until now, my senior year of high school I have been on the leadership team with my youth group. I can not imagine my life without Jesus as the center. I have been pushed to step out of my comfort zone and because of that I have grown in several different ways. For example, I am an extrovert and enjoy getting new people, but never liked public speaking as I felt nervous and intimidated. By the many adult leaders, and pastors coming along side of me and encouraging me to step of on my comfort zone I now highly enjoy speaking and spreading the truth about The Lord in big groups of people. I am so thankful for the many God loving people that have come in my life and helped stretch me. Jesus is my entire life and I am nothing without him.
