* This is a testimony received from one of the young ladies on our outreach team.
Tonight we went to one of our usual neighborhoods to visit some folks. One of our ladies has been wanting us to go see her daughter, because her daughter has really been wanting to speak with us. She apparently was in need of the Holy Ghost, too. So, we all went over there tonight to see her and talk with her. She tells us, "My Mom said you guys knew stuff about my kids that no one told you or anything, but you still know", or something to that effect... she proceeded to tell us that she was curious if we might know things about her too. :)
We explained prophetic ministry a little, and the Lord quickly spoke to each one of us about her life. Everything was on point and she was quite impressed at how real this was! This lady has been addicted to narcotics for some time now, and has been desperately trying to get free. Well, tonight, we came to her with the answer Himself... Jesus! Guys, we gave her the most SIMPLE message of the gospel. The BASICS to us, but this stuff is HUGE to someone who has never heard it this way! Things like the Kingdom of Heaven and righteousness, peace and joy. Things like God's real presence and his LOVE and goodness. Things like FREEDOM. A life in God where He wants to BLESS His kids and not condemn and judge them. A life where you need CHILDLIKE faith, because it's that simple.
We prayed for her, got her delivered of a bunch of junk, and got her full of the Holy Ghost. All she could repeat over and over, with tears falling down her cheeks as we prayed was, "Jesus, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You. Jesus... Jesus" How awesome is that?!
She was FREE. She was soooo excited and kept telling us how glad she was that we came over and how she wasn't expecting this. I told her she needed to get baptized and she was immediately fired up to do it. I told her we could do it next week in her tub or something if she wanted. Then I realized... Why wait?! So I asked her if she wanted to just go ahead and do it tonight since she was already on a roll and she was all for it! She filled up the tub, put on some clothes she could get wet in, and she got dunked right there in her tub! You could see her countenance was completely changed by the end of the night.
Freedom is the best feeling. To give it, AND to receive it! Thank You, Jesus for allowing us to be FREE and FREE indeed!! :D
