Our stories for His glory!
My story for His glory --- where do I begin? In October of 2015 when He called the assignment of Christians Seeking God forward, I never expected that it would change my life forever, that I would begin to embark on a personal relationship with God that goes beyond my wildest and imaginable dreams. Through the message, I have formed divine relationships; my eyes have been unlocked to see as He sees; I am able to hear Him in ways I would not have expected; and my heart has opened to love as He does. I have witnessed miracles, signs, and wonders of physical, emotional, and spiritual healings, deliverance from strongholds and generational curses, and salvations in the most intimate, unique, and humbling of ways. I have watched the growth of the flesh as people through the invited and power of the Holy Spirit be released from fear that was replaced with courage, instantly and over time. Many hearts have been opened and mouths that were shut are now praising Him and praying to Him boldly, openly, and with might. I have seen God release spiritual gifts in precious and tender ways right before my very eyes. God has allowed the filling of the Holy Ghost, and sent to many, messages in Word, visions, and dreams. He has spoken in miraculous ways, giving direction to the Message, exposing dangers, and offering prayer direction. From the name, Christians Seeking God, to the foundational scripture, Ephesians, to the words, song, my word, testimony, and prayer, to the message itself; He provided all of it and consistently reminds that He will lead as it is a holy calling. I have been shocked and put in awe of His power and reminded repeatedly that He is creator. His grace and mercy to allow me to be in His presence and be a part of His mighty army is just wonderfully overwhelming. I truly have become a witness and willing soldier for the Lord with a call to His purpose. I, through the message of Christians Seeking God, genuinely understand the gift of salvation and now I live without fear and with anticipation, as to where I will spend eternity. For this, I give Him thanks and all the glory! And God said, “Ask Them This – Who Will Follow Me?”
In Christians Seeking God, I was delivered. I lived a life of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and unhappiness. In Christians Seeking God, I found my deliverance and healing. Now, I have a peace of mind. I have a holy peace that only Christ can give. My head no longer races. There is a calmness now that can only come from Christ. I found this through Christians Seeking God. No longer do I have thoughts of suicide, I have thoughts of life and living my life more abundantly. Through Christians Seeking God, I found my life. The life that God wanted for me. I found direction. I found purpose. I have wandered all my life with no direction, no purpose, just living unintentionally. But now, all of that has changed in and through Christians Seeking God. I found relationships that hold me accountable, relationships that help me hold myself accountable. I found a personal relationship with Christ.
My story for his glory... When I was asked to be a part of a prayer group I never knew how much it would change my journey with the Lord. I have gone to church all my life, always believed in God and that Jesus Christ is my Savior but never really was seeking Him outside of Sunday mass and daily prayers when I had time. I have witnessed God healing people and relationships, removing generational curses, and people accepting Jesus Christ as their savior. Now, after being a part of CSG for over a year, seeing and hearing all the blessings that are happening in and outside of this group, I am seeking God more and in different ways. I speak more openly about my God and my faith to encourage others to seek the Lord too. In one of our first prayer meetings we asked the Holy Spirit to come into our hearts and fill us up. I believe He did come in and filled us up and He has been responding ever since. I feel blessed beyond words that He chose me and is allowing me to be a part of this wonderful group of God loving people!
Responding to an invitation to be a part of Christians Seeking God has forever changed my relationship with God. It has given me a newfound awareness of the God I serve, given me an understanding of the enemy who comes against, and has shown me the amazing and awesome power of the Holy Spirit. It has connected me to other Christ followers who are also seeking Him and we are finding Him in unbelievable and miraculous ways that have been both humbling and overwhelming. I would not have imagined that I would ever witness signs and wonders, inspired writings and messages, miraculous healings, the cancellation of enemy assignments, the end of generational and suicidal curses, and even the casting out of a demon. I have clearly seen God at work preparing hearts, strengthening relationships, removing fear, and changing circumstances in ways that make no earthly sense... but God! For me personally, God has opened my ears to hear Him in a way that I had never heard Him before and opened my mouth to pray and praise Him like never before. He has humbled me physically and stretched me out in an unnatural posture of clear surrender. He has spoken to me softly that I would begin to understand and has given me simple and clear directions to follow as He leads and to Love Like Jesus Did. He has allowed me to be in His presence and witness so many “but God “moments. His mercy, grace, and love are undeniable and unimaginable! I can testify that there is pure joy in Him to be found when the labels and judgment of the world that want to divide us are put aside and when we can focus on acknowledging who He is and praising Him together in agreement and unity. God is so good! Do you know Him?
Through Christians Seeking God, I found salvation and have accepted God in my heart. I have a relationship with God where I can be myself. I understand God better. My relationship with God is so personal that I can “clown” with Him. I am connected to people that I would not have connected with in life which has given me more support in my life. I am on a path to find my purpose. I am on a path to walk in His light. I want to do the things He wants me to do. God has opened my heart and now there is Love in my heart. I don’t sell drugs anymore. I have more understanding. I am able to look at people differently. I am learning to trust in Him and trust others. My relationship with God has changed my life all the way around and I am thankful for everything He has done!
This has been an incredible year in the Lord for me. I have witnessed great and miraculous wonders, and He has allowed me to participate in those things that give Him glory. His love has also taken me into a season to encourage others, and to be a sign pointer to Christ. God has shown me favor on my life and my family’s life, which I am so thankful for who He is. He has not forgotten nor forsaken me. He has been with me everywhere I go. He has been with me thru surgery and blessed me with supernatural results this year. He blessed my wife with a successful surgery this year. He provided comfort this year when I lost a best friend. The count of the stories of praises are more than I can see and recognize. Christians Seeking God has built new Christians and glorious relationships for me, and I have been taken to a new level of faith and trust in God. His plan has shown me to continue to work as He directs. The Story for his Glory is that He has shown me that He is who He says his is, The Great I Am!
My "Story for His Glory" is short but meaningful. Simply put, He gave me a family. He took a struggle of mine that was painful and something within me that was broken, and completely turned it around. It wasn't the traditional way I was expecting, which makes it that much sweeter. He knew what I wanted, and instead gave me what I needed. A family!
My Story is that I came into Christians Seeking God broken, lost, and full of confusion. But being part of Christians Seeking God and in the presence of God healed my wounds, humbled my spirit, and uplifted my heart, and injected me with the patience I needed to let God work on me in His way and in His time. I not only believe in God, I know Him, and not only do I know Him, I trust Him and have allowed Him to lead the way of my journey!
A little over a year ago I was asked if I was saved and had a personal relationship with Jesus. My answer was yes, I am saved, but I do not have a personal relationship with Jesus. Over the course the past year I have been on a spiritual whirlwind journey with Christians Seeking God (CSG). My eyes and heart have witnessed God at work in everyone in CSG. Now, I can say with full confidence and joy that I do have a personal relationship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. My CSG story for his glory started with my not feeling worthy, ashamed and on the verge of being cast out if exposed as the truly ugly sinner I am. I feared the prayer circle (the Circle) and my turn at coming under the Lord’s gaze. All my life I have built shield upon shield upon shield to hide my sin. When my turn came in the Circle, doors to sin that were opened were commanded to be closed. I felt the shield doors closing and the grip of anger, lust, envy, guilt and shame being loosened in my heart. I was instructed to go home and pray in the name of Jesus for those doors to sin to be closed. I began seeing and feeling the light of the Holy Spirit in the Circle. I would feel a slight breeze that always brings goose bumps as the Holy Spirit filled the room. I started seeing visions in and around the Circle. I saw a vision of protection encircle CSG members holding hands, facing out to the north, south east and west around a cage surrounding a member. While praying in the park, we prayed into freeing us from distractions, prayers of protection and words of God having gifts that he wanted to bless us with. The Circle was broken and while we were praying and giving thanks to God Individually I witnessed a dark spirit fleeing/crashing into the woods. This disturbance was like none that I have never witnessed in my 30 plus years of hunting. Then I felt a poke on my right arm as if someone wanted to get my attention. When I turned to see who it was, nothing or anyone was there. I feel we are protected in the Circle. Again in the park I was instructed to bow down before the Lord. As I bowed lower and lower everything became dark and I hit the ground. I heard a command that the evil spirit/demon was to come out I began to cough and gag. I coughed again and spit out a glob of blood. I tried to cover it up but could not. As I sat up I heard voices swirling in the air around me and then depart. I stood up and sat in a chair and said if I were to die right now it would be OK! I have witnessed sins being placed at the foot of the cross, strongholds broken, souls on the brink of destruction, and death turned around in the Circle. I have seen doors of goodness, opportunity and provision opened through CSG. I have seen the hidden sin door of pride exposed within me and heard the words of forgiveness spoken over me. I have felt the touch of the Holy Spirit. I have faced evil, given voice to that I am not afraid, that I am willing to fight the Devil. That he may knock me down but I will get up, because the Lord is with me. I prayed and gave voice, in the name of Jesus, for the evil to depart from me. Even though I suffer constant temptation of lust after female flesh, anger, envy, guilt, shame, drugs, pride and self-righteousness, I have found a renewed presence of the Lord within me, surrounding me and guiding me. Temptation’s hold on me no longer controls how I live, react and love. I believe, with my whole heart, that God has a relationship with me. This richness does not get any closer than that. Praise GOD’S holy name!
