Yeshua Saves! My Testimony! Drugs, Alcohol, New Age, Panic, Anxiety...to Jesus!
"Yeshua is SO AWESOME! A true deliverer, Blessed be my ROCK.
2Cor. 5 Verses 14 to 21"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
I grew up in Minnesota under the canopy of Catholicism. I only knew Jesus "up there on the cross"...
...I endured decades of anxiety, severe panic attacks, drug, food & alcohol abuse/addiction (hospitalized 3 times), deep, deep cyclic depression, emotional, spiritual & financial bankruptcy, paranoid schizophrenia, gambling addiction, lesbianism, new age. I went to India seeking enlightenment through yoga/gurus, took Ayahuasca with the shamans in Costa Rica.....intensely searching for God. I would have momentary bouts of peace and then the bottom would drop out. It was like going to a funhouse at a carnival only to discover you are lost in a labyrinth that is in itself a hall of mirrors. A grotesque black hole...I was totally LOST and did not know it. That's what was so scary. I did not want to live anymore, and I did not want to die either. I loathed Christians, btw!!
I had literally tried everything known to man and uncovered every rock in this known universe looking for God. I have been a God-seeker my entire life!
So, after leaving a high-paying job in real estate, I fell into a deep, DEEP DEEP dark, panic-ridden depression, I could not sleep for weeks on end, and had such LOUD ringing in my ears I had to go to the emergency room several times. I was crying out to God "Help!! where are you?" Seemingly no answer.
Then Yeshua delivered me!
It was only then when I had hit my absolute bottom of the bottoms, I called a friend who I knew in my heart had "God". She prayed over me and that is when I had a supernatural encounter with Yeshua in the Spirit of Shalom. (Bear in mind I grew up Catholic and had no idea what Shalom meant). That experience was an all-encompassing glory, and I naturally just fell to my knees saying YES to Yeshua. I Gave him my life right there on the spot (2017). In that very moment when I said "YES" to Yeshua, Immediately the God I had been seeking my entire life was ABLAZE in my heart. I also became obsessed with the Hebrew language.
From that moment my life has completely changed. When I say 'delivered', I mean truly delivered from all of it!!! I am a completely different person. All that stuff I mentioned above is gone!
I am not saying I don't have anxiety or pain in my life, I certainly do, but the Peace of God that goes beyond all understanding has been with me since I said YES, and I DO to Yeshua.
I am so grateful to our King! I do not have words for the LOVE I have for Yeshua and the gratitude for all he has done for me. My heart is on FIRE for Him! I have a very special love for our Jewish brothers and sisters.
While my walk in Jesus is most definitely not perfect, I know who my Savior is and there is NOTHING else I want or need.
Psalm 66:4 "All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name. "All glory to God! Blessed be our King!"
Thank you for listening and I pray this testimony blesses everyone who reads it.
Thank you!
