PEEVES: I don't like the fact that a lot of Christian's words doses not line up with their actions. There are a lot of persons whose faith is not supported by deeds.
PERSONAL TESTIMONY:

The grace of God is beautiful, He is always doing something new to show that he is in control. The Lord showed me the importance of prayer and the power of faith in 1998 when my uncle was in the hospital. He had a heart condition and could not sleep at nights. The first night I prayed for him, he slept like a baby. I kept on praying for his healing and 2 weeks later he received a sponsorship enabling him to go to the states for medical attention, where he was healed.

PERSONAL TESTIMONY:

I've been in the church all my life but never realized that there was more to Christianity than just going to church. Therefore, T was going along my mercy little way believing that going to church ritualistically was all there was to going to heaven and I never had a clue that I was wrong.

The first step, I believe to someone making the step of faith is realizing and acknowledging your sinful nature and then realizing that the Lord is the only One who can fix it. In the summer of 1995 I had a lot of time on my hands; a relationship I was in had just ended in a nasty fashion and I retreated away from all my friends and I started to think about all the things that I had been doing which had hurt people's feelings and wondered why I had done them and unknowingly allowed the enemy (satan) to set up mighty strongholds in my life. (Remember even though I wasn't a Christian I though I was and I knew all the stories and connotations associated with the devil). I had somehow became a slave to my sinful nature but....but being the rebellious person (I was!) I was determine to be a slave to nothing and no-one. So I set out on a mission to find out how to conquer my nemesis(sin). All this time I had never touched the Word(Bible) because I never had a clue that it had the answers I was looking for. So when I found out that Christians are not supposed to be slaves to sin I was stumped!!!,

I was a Christian, I went to Church every Sunday!, What more was there?, What didn't I see?, What didn't I know?, Lord help me Please!!!

And that was it how could I have missed it what was it that would make me a Christian?, Why did I go to Church?

And that was it how could I have missed it what was it that would make me a Christian?, Why did I go to Church?

Claim the promises of the Lord as your own and give your life to Christ right Now!!!

My life has been one full of ups and downs. At my lowest moments I have felt like nothing even lower than dirt. But God and my friends have helped me through these times and I am grateful that I have come to know Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. There is a verse I live by, "Direct my footsteps oh Lord, let no sin rule over me." (Psalm 119:133). I have written it on almost all my shoes and I do try to live by it. If you are not a Christian, make yourself know to the Lord. I mean "Seek the Lords with all your heart" and He will be there for you. For all the Christians, If your are in a hole, continue to strive for excellence no matter how hard you think it is. Jesus is just wanting for you to call for help and he will come to you rescue.

PERSONAL TESTIMONY:

In the world today being a teen or rather a Christian teen is one of the most difficult task in life. Especially when your friendship is demanded by everyone around you whether Christian or non-Christian. I have learnt through my many trials and tribulations that I should of all not forget my purpose in life, which is to serve and honor my Creator and Savior, and when I delight myself in Him everything else falls into place.

My testimony is for persons who face trials of many forms and those who are currently going through one. Remember that after a storm there is a clam and you will have to go through before you can say you have been through.

"Be strong hold the faith, and use God's help to fight against the obstacles the devil creates."

PERSONAL TESTIMONY:

In 1998, I found out that I had a brain tumor. Not cancerous but it was huge and could harm me severely. I did one operation, which was 13 hours long and included going through my forehead, in the summer of that same year. It was successful but then the piece that was left in grew even bigger by the end of the same year. I then had to do another operation in February of 1997. This time they went through my nostrils. And after that I had to do six weeks of radiation treatment, 5 days a week. All this time people were saying I should not be afraid because God was with me and I wasn't because I knew that I am a child of God and that God works all things together for those who love Him. All we have to do is have faith in Him.

In December 1984, I had just started high school. I had a little accident. I was on a skateboard and fell off it. Only to learnt after I reach home that I had blood in my urine. I went to the doctor soon after. At the family Doctor, it was diagnose that I had some kind of damage to my kidney or ladder. The doctor requested that I do some x-rays and there were done. I was then referred to a specialist as result of what the x-rays showed.

The specialist said to my mother and I that my left kidney was damage. He also said this was pretty strange that it was my left kidney that was damage and not the right one. The specialist explains that it was because the left kidney was deformed from birth so that is why it was expose. He also explained that if this "accident" did not happen then I would have been experienced blackouts without knowing the cause of it. An operation was needed and the date was set for the April after. The left kidney was remove and I recovered very quickly from the operation.
