When God Speaks

I believe that I have a mandate from the Holy Spirit to start my testimony of how I started serving God. The hope is that this will minister to a lot of people and bring them into a right relationship with God.

I am going to start at the beginning. I was raised in Sacramento California. I had a sister, mom, and dad a pretty typical family in the 60s and 70s. Of course we had our problems as all families do. We did not attend church regularly just ever once in a while. I knew that God existed but I didn’t know about a personal relationship or about the Holy Spirit.

Fast forward to my teen years they were rocky I pretty much decided that I was not going to make it to heaven and probably didn’t care if I did. I also dropped out of school when I was 16.

My one and only sister became sick when she was about 19, She had leukemia, this really changed our lives, by this time I was 17-18. At the hospital I met my first boyfriend. When I was 20 I ran off with him to Reno Nevada and we got married. I had to grow up really fast in order to survive. He was a drug addict and acholic and thought that was ok to be an abuser. So I lived that life for 5 years. I will spare you the details of this life we will just say that it was not good at all. My sister passed away when she was 22 years old.

‍ ‍BUT GOD!

I can honestly say that God was with me through all of the things that I went through because I would not be alive today. I now can see where the Holy Spirit was with me even when I didn’t know what to call Him. I will give you some examples.

He gave me friends that would come and pick me up when i needed to escape.

I had a knife held to my throat by someone that was so drunk he didn’t even know me and didn’t get hurt.

This man had a rifle shooting holes in the walls of our apartment.

And many more situations……

So, fast forward to 5 years later I finally came to my senses and got divorced but I still didn’t serve God. I decided to live out in the world for awhile and see what the world had to offer. The only thing that the world has is a lot of heart ache. I had my time with drinking, sex before marriage and partying this did not satisfy. During this time I was starting to think about God more and sometimes I would pray before I would go out, I knew that this life was not what God wanted for me. I was also going through a healing process that the Holy Spirit was taking me through. You may ask how do I know that this was the Holy Spirit? Because their was no one else around to teach me these things. Some of the things that helped me was writing a letter to my sister and telling her that I was sorry for some things and burning it. Realizing that God has plans for our lives and He loves us no matter what we do.

During this time God gave me a dream. One night I went to bed and was feeling really sad wondering if I could ever have a godly relationship. God gave me a dream of the man I was to marry. In the dream we were in a church and we were worshipping God together. That dream came true. I literally married the man of my dreams.

But as I said before The Holy Spirit was in my life guiding teaching and loving me into the arms of Jesus when I didn’t know what to call Him.

Through prayer and prophecy God showed me I was suppose to be in Missouri where my mom was from.

When I was 28 years old we moved to Springfield, Mo. I found the church that was in the dream and accepted the Lord. I was attending that church about a year and met the man that God gave me a dream about we have raised 4 children and been happily married 34 years.

I will be adding to this testimony I have more things to tell about what my god has done in my life.
