Teen Controlled by Fear Sought God!

Hi everybody!

I would like to share my testimony of how I was controlled by fear!

For a long time I was scared of everything, literally. I was terrified that my family would die and that I would be left alone, or that I would die, or even that God would forget all about me and that I would go to Hell. I was so scared that I often cried myself to sleep at night, but sometimes was even scared to fall asleep. Every day Satan gave me new fears and I started believing them, but I couldn’t stop the fear. I prayed every day, every minute, trying to block out the new fears that played in my mind. I felt that if I didn’t pray all day, the people I loved would die and that God would ‘blame’ me on Judgement Day.

I would get exhausted from fearing everything around me all day, and gradually this fear started building up to become anger, which I took out on my family. I hated myself, and became convinced all my fears would come true. I started believing that God was giving me these fears, and wondered why I believed in a God who hated me enough to give me these fears. I became desperate for a way to escape this never ending fear, but as my constant prayers ‘weren’t working’, I was rapidly giving up hope. I felt as if I was dying inside.

One evening it was particularly bad. I had had a full day and was exhausted from trying to block out the nagging fear within me. I got ready to go to bed and suddenly something inside me just snapped. An overwhelming wave of fear came over me, and I couldn’t stop crying. Every time I closed my eyes I would see demons and other figures coming to get me. I even saw a figure resembling my dad, who walked towards me, arms outstretched to strangle me. At this point I couldn’t take it anymore. I screamed until I found it difficult to breathe; I didn’t understand what to do anymore. I got up and went to talk to my dad, but I couldn’t speak and my breathing got heavier and heavier. It got so bad that my dad got really worried, and even asked if I had been taking something because he had never seen me like this. I asked him to pray that God would take away my fear, so my dad commanded the fear to leave me. Straight after the prayer I felt something leave me, and I was able to breathe normally again. I felt so relieved and calm for the first time in months that I couldn’t believe it! All my fear had disappeared and my dad showed me some scriptures about what the Bible says about fear.

2 TIMOTHY 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. “

1 JOHN 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment...”

I realized that being a spirit filled Christian is never going to be easy, but that it’s such a beautiful thing that Satan will do all in his power to destroy our relationship with God. It is an ongoing battle, but it is a battle we need to fight and that is well worth fighting for.

Praise the Lord!

How I got saved

Hi everyone,

My testimony is about how I got saved. I was seeking the Lord about receiving the Holy Spirit and my Dad came up with something that helped me a lot:

Confess your sins

Read the Bible

Obey everyone who is set above you

Pray

If you do this you build a base on which you can then build on. I had this stuck on my wall and had done it for quite a while. What it meant to me was that the CROP which is a seed, is sown in you by your parents, and if you Pray, Obey, Read and Confess you sins, it will help you to get closer to God. Then if you already have the Holy Spirit, it can help you to grow in the Lord.

This happened on the 28th of February 2010, our house group watched a video by Charles and Frances Hunter in which they explained how to receive the Holy Spirit, after which we had a time of prayer. I would not have received the Holy Spirit if it had not have been for Uncle Tom, who encouraged me several times to continue praying. Praise the Lord!!

In His love, Jonathan

The Power of God’s Promises

Hi, I’m Julia from Perth,

I would like to tell you a little something about what happened during one weekend.

On Saturday evening, I spent some time reading a book called “There is a miracle is in your mouth” by John Osteen. It gives you a lot of examples of how you can receive healing from God by speaking aloud. I realised that, as I was reading the book and with all the different examples, faith and the expectation to see such a miracle was growing inside me. It spoke about how women were healed of cancer by praying and ‘speaking out’ the miracle. In addition, there was a baby who was born with a muscle disability and was completely healed, again by the family praying and ‘speaking out’ the miracle.

Well anyway, that night, I got really bad pain in my legs. I could not curl up because that was too painful and keeping my legs straight was no better. After reading that book, even though I had only gotten half way through, I realised that it would not get any better if I did not put the things into practise, which I had just learned, as the Bible says be ye doers. Also because the book had so many amazing examples, it also gave me faith that God would heal me. When I went to bed, I laid there, put my hands on my legs, and kept saying, “By his stripes I am healed” (ISAIAH 53:5) Five minutes later I was perfectly healed with no pain whatsoever and I could sleep well too, which was also much needed. PTL!

Love in Christ, Julia, Perth, Scotland

God Knows Better

Hi Teens around the world!! :-)

I would like to share a little testimony with you. In France you have to do a three-day internship in the 4th year of high school. My mum and I were sending out letters and e-mails to find a place preferably in an international trading company. I asked God if I could work in the company in my village because it would be so practical and in walking distance, even though they were very busy around Christmas time. Sadly it didn't work out and I was panicking because I realised that I had started my search too late and that it was now only one week before the internship should start. But I continued praying. Then my mum had the idea to ask at the reception of some well-known hotels if they would need an intern. Already at the second hotel called "IBIS" they accepted me - I was so relieved and happy! Here are two scriptures I found about that situation: "WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK OF THE FATHER IN MY NAME,, HE MAY GIVE IT YOU.." JOHN 15:16Band "FELL ON HIS FACE, AND PRAYED, SAYING,, O MY FATHER, IF IT BE POSSIBLE, LET THIS CUP PASS FROM ME: NEVERTHELESS NOT AS II WILL,, BUT AS THOU WILT.."MATTHEW 26:39 I thought that I would work in the company in my village, but God had another plan for me, a much better plan. It doesn't happen how you think, but how God plans it for you. :-) Praise the Lord!!! God answers our prayers!! :-)
