Testimony: What Are You Holding On To?
Anonymous testimony "What Are You Holding On To?" on 7/20/2016, 9:48am...
I grew up with strict parents. I was raised in the church. So therefore, I have no story of an abusive father or drug addicted mother. Instead I willingly got into trouble. I longed for freedom, I wanted to experience the fast side of life. So at the age of 14 I met a man who was several years older than I and became romantically involved with him. We were together often, I'd call him over when my parents weren't home. I thought I was living the good life. We planned to become public when I turned 18 years old. We continued on for three years. When I was 17 I began to tire of the sin I was living in. I wanted to be free and know God again... But there was something was holding on to. I was not willing to leave the man alone who I had given my everything to, who I'd become somewhat addicted to. One night I asked God to remove anything from my heart that was hindering me from completely trusting in him. A few weeks later the man cut it off with me after three years. I was very hurt and depressed and prayed that God would just strike me down. I cursed God hoping to make him mad enough to end my life. Then he spoke to me saying “ I gave you exactly what you asked for " So needles to say that at church that Sunday I got prayer. That Wednesday I was home alone and instead of missing that man I talked to God. He laid it in my heart to tarry. Kneeling right there.. On my bedroom floor I received the holy spirit. And life has never been the same.
