About a year and half ago i suffered from depression, i had an eating disorder, i was a drug addict, a self-harmer and wished i was dead. I was in a destructive relationship with a violent drug dealer who abused me mentally and emotionally.
Basically i wanted to die, i felt worthless and lost 6 stone in weight over the space of 1 year because of the lifestyle i chose to live in. I suffered from bad panic attacks because of this and ended up in hospital on many occasions.
It was around this time that i met a lady from a local Pentecostal Christian Church called The Potters House. She told me how God could heal my heart and my sickness and could change my whole life if only i believed and put my trust in Jesus. She told me that God loved me so much that he sent his one and only Son to save me from my sins and give me eternal life.
I gave it a go and found it quite strange at first when i heard people speaking in tongues. That day changed my life, i opened my heart and asked God to save me from my sin and to forgive me for the way i had lived my life. I know that day i was truly touched by the Holy Spirit and if it wasnt for Jesus i would not be here today to look after my children and to give my testimony.
I backslid a few times and found it hard to commit 100% but when i fell pregnant by my abusive partner i knew i needed God.
It was then that i decided to be a follower of Jesus and not just a believer and it hasnt been easy but through faith, prayer, reading my Bible, attending church and fellowship with other Born Again Christians my life has changed.
God healed my broken heart and fulfiled my life. I no longer depend on anti-depressants, i no longer have an eating disorder and i love my life.
I still had trouble with my drug addition but God worked on me in time and its been 3 weeks since i was healed through prayer after nearly 8 years of being an addict.
I was baptised 1 week ago and feel amazing. I have 2 beautiful children aged 6 years old and 8 months old. My 6 year old is also saved and living for Jesus and continues to be an encouragement to my life, I love it and am so proud when i see her lift her hands in praise and worship.
We attend church on wednesday evenings and twice on a sunday. We also go on outreach on saturday afternoons in the local high street witnessing to people telling them about Jesus and inviting them to church giving out flyers.
It was only when i decided to truly contend and give it all to God that i noticed a change in my life.
I know now that there is no going back as the truth and love of God are in my heart.
I am fulfiled, contented and loved.
I am saved!!
