My Testimony:

I was in prison and the Lord Jesus filled me with His precious Holy Spirit during my incarceration. The Lord gave me a vision to minister to all nations as well as incarcerated people. Sometimes people feel unloved and forgotten. I'm a living testimony to inform you that God has not forgotten you! You are His peculiar treasure and the apple of His eye. There is nothing you have done that you cannot be forgiven of -- no matter what anyone says because the Lord is a forgiving God. After you have received salvation and His forgiveness, you no longer need to feel condemned, for there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Rom:8:1.

Mankind was created in the image and likeness of God; made a little lower than the angels. Jesus loves you so much that He gave His life on Calvary. He was tortured, beaten, ridiculed, scoured, spat upon, including His flesh being ripped from his body with various cruel whips, and nailed upon a cross. Mk:10:34. Afterwards, Jesus rose from death on the third day and sprinkled His blood upon the mercy seat in the Holy of Holies to make atonement for the sins of mankind. God's word tells us that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Therefore, a sacrifice was necessary. Jesus became that sacrificial offering to wash away our sins. Heb:7:2.

You can receive the Lord Jesus by first acknowledging that you were born in sin and shaped in iniquity (unrighteousness) and asking Him to forgive you and come into your heart. Commit yourself to the Lord Jesus by allowing Him to direct your path. Afterwards, you need to receive the baptism by water immersion and being filled with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which is evidenced by speaking in other tongues (languages) as the Spirit of God gives the utterance. Jesus said that the Comforter (Holy Spirit) will teach you all things. Jn:14:26.

Lastly, you need to live a Godly life by putting off the works of the flesh such as lust, fornication, uncleanliness, unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, envy, jealously, strife, pride, murder, debate, deceit, whisperers, all lying, backbiting, swearing, all theft (including small items). Begin telling others about what Christ did for you. Jesus promised us to dwell forever in the heavenly city called the New Jerusalem, which is to come. There will be no more death or sorrow. Rv:3:12.
