I was sent by the people I worked for to remove a NS threat. Two had been sent before and completely disappeared. But you would never know it, because we didn't exist. I had the threat in my crosshairs and was ready to pull the trigger when a hand touched me on the shoulder and said Father forgive this one and open his eyes. I looked up and it was the man I had in my sites. I wept bitterly for three weeks and could not stop. Then I read the bible over and over and over and over again for years. I didn't get it, nothing was changing except I had the writings of the bible memorized. Then It struck me one day as I was pondering what I had read. It is an instruction manual. Follow Christs Teachings and example and they will come and make their home with you. It's true.

John 14
23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

Right Its "lets not just be hearers of the Word, but doers of it" Its when we act on the Word that it becomes alive and dwells in us. I also just read and read for years and nothing! But now, He changed all of that. Now I believe it, and act on it. It is real and alive and to be trusted. Its life.

If I could have stayed and walked with that man I could have learned sooner. But He was gone and I couldn't find Him through the tears and bright sun light behind him. That was twenty five years ago. I have been walking in the Light of the Son of God now for twenty years. All of the signs are in place and it is just about time for the world to know the Lord which is not a good thing for the majority of them.

How I became born-again:
In 1996, my mother was diagnosed with cancer, Dec.24th, I was told she could live maybe two weeks, without surgery. Surgery would only prolong her death, not prevent, as there was nothing they could do for her.She allowed a doctor to do surgery after he told her he could save her, she passed away on Feb.21, 1997.

Being a nurse, I immediately quit my job to care for her, and each day she would apologize for not dying. She told me " I am sorry you are not going to a funeral today, as I am ready to meet Jesus, and for you to get on with your life."

I had stepped out of church at 15, after being in church all my life to that point. So I am thinking, what had I missed since I stopped going to church. She knew she was going to heaven. I thought I was, but was beginning to be very unsure about those ideas. Here I was, watching her die slowly each day, no job and no money about to lose everything. My car was repossessed, I was behind on my house payments, when my son, and his church gave me the money to catch up my payments.

When she passed away, two Sundays later found me in church. I could not begin to describe the joy my heart felt that day. As the alter call was made, I heard the Lord tell me " I have let you do your own thing these past 20 years, now is the time to come home." Well, I thought , boy now you are hearing voices. You crazy thing.People don't hear God. Well, I did not go to the front, but 3 Sundays after that I did respond, after the Lord said."I am not going to ask you again to come home to me." Well, I almost run to the front.

Since then: God has healed my grandson and daughter of cancer. Saved my husband from death from heart attacks, (4) and counting. Brought me to Australia, where I have been baptized by the Holy Spirit, given unbelievable gifts, and a ministry to the homeless, disadvantage and the elderly.

Praises to the Lord Most High. He is the King of kings, Lord of lords. The Living God.
