How I received Jesus Christ (chapter 2)

After the prayer, I searched for myself and couldn’t identify myself. I wanted to handle myself and I couldn’t because I was extremely touched. Later, after the service, while I was busy going to my class. A lady appeared from nowhere, and I suppose God assigned her for a positive reason. She pleaded, "Why are you crying?" I responded, "I don’t  literally perceive." She responded, "Come, let me take you to the pastor so that he can pray for you."
 
I was so overly emotional. We went to the spot where the pastor was. And when we got there, we discovered a very long queue of learners standing by to be prayed for. I could sense that everyone was staring at me. I was very humble and ready to receive Christ. They did not allow me to stand on the line. The guy in front said I should go first because he saw how I was. 
The pastor called me and prayed for me and a certain spirit embodied. Even though I don’t remember some of the things, I remember falling down and when I waved up, I was perfectly free. The pastor said that I should come to his church on Sunday. I acknowledged it, before I went back to my class. I saw my class teacher and she looked so concerned about me. 
 
She asked, "you look troubled, what happened to you? " I looked at her with a smiling face and replied, "I am, but after school I want to show up at your prayer session." I remained quiet and my classmates and friends didn’t ask if I was okay or not, and I wasn’t even concerned. I was just waiting for the school bell to ring so that I could have a prayer session with my class teacher. 
I felt a change. I am no longer the person I used to be. The bell rang. It was after school and I was so excited because all I wanted was a prayer. I ran to that teacher and the teacher hugged me and said, "You are so special among the pupils. It’s like that pastor came only for you, and you look so different. " I was so touched and emotional because she also noticed a change and I replied, "Indeed, he came specifically to me. God saved my life." And after our short prayer, I went home, and I was so excited about explaining to my family how God had touched me.
 When I arrived at home, I told my grandma everything. And she asked me the location of that pastor’s church and I froze because I absolutely forgot. I started to think deeply and I couldn’t recall the address he gave me but I only recalled his name. We asked our neighbors if they knew the place of that pastor’s church, and nobody knew. We asked a lot of people, and nobody knew. 
One lady, who lives a bit distant from my place, suggested that we go to her church. She thought that maybe it could be the same pastor. We were then baffling because we preferred to go to that pastor’s church. On Sunday, my sister and grandma went to the church where that lady recommended we go. The church members were so welcoming, caring and loving. The pastor was so powerful and packed with people. 
And after church, my grandma asked, "what do you think of this church? Is it the pastor we searched for? " I replied, "No, it  is not him and we won't stop searching for him." My grandmother said, "Don’t worry, we will try another church. Maybe next time we’ll find him. " I was happy because my grandmother really wanted me to find him.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us  

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
