[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was born into a Christian family. Hence I knew Christ is the Saviour. As I grew I started drifting apart from God due to experience I started having in my life.I was sexually abused as Child By my Family Member, My Parents had a tough time in their married life and they were ready to be divorced .All these experiences had started making me rigid .But I was still connected to God , I was active in Church , I was part of worship team and Ushering team and then at the age of 17 I was Baptized and my life took a turn. I was been Tempted by pornography and I gave in, Guilt covered me and I stopped going to church gradually I drifted away from God. My education was affected, I got into a wrong relationships and I was in PIT. But still God saved me from all that .Gradually I started coming back to my Jesus. He started speaking to me through various sources . But i was still wavering in my faith I did lot of things during this phase which i was not supposed to. But still God was gracious he healed me from all my heartbreaks and brought me out from my sins . I started seeking God for an answer about the things happening in my life. Im 29 now and everyone around me expected me to get Married and even I longed for a Life Partner. This desire led me to seek for a Spiritual God sent life Partner and as I was in the process to get answer, I was tiered of waiting , I was tiered of every heart breaks I have gone through I gave up on marriage .But I happened to visit a Page called Pray for your future husband by Ann Brand in Facebook. And She had called for 3 day fasting for future husband and I felt that God was asking me to Pray .During this 3 days God through her spoke to me saying before you seek for anything from this world you have to make God as your focus point as it is said in Mathew 6: 33. This Scripture Pricked my heart Hence from then on I am on the Journey with Jesus Knowing Him, Experiencing His Love and Embracing it. The Hope I had Lost about my life was Renewed by my Jesus. Now in True sense I have accepted Christ as my Saviour and Lord. He gave me a desire to serve Him, I did not know how I could serve Him Hence I am fasting and praying today to know my assignment as I am writing my testimony and God led me here. Hence Im here to find my assignment that God has given me. Thank you Jesus for Saving me!

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

I have served a Church named Destiny Center in Mysore, Karnataka , India. I was part of the Worship team and Ushering Team. I was there for 2 years

We had a media ministry Mytri Creations, in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. and I was part of it. I have assisted my father in his ministry for 2 or 3 years on and of.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

When I was 10 years old saw a Doll and i begged my parents to buy it for me, but it was too expensive , Hence they asked me to pray about it. And I prayed for a month and my grand mother gifted me that Doll on my birthday. This was a very small thing but it ensured me that God answers prayers. Even now this experience encourages me when I feel low. It encourages me to trust in the Lord at all times

My Parents Marriage was saved by Gods grace…Praise God for that. It gave me Hope. My faith was built.

The time I was in Destiny Center Church as a part of worship team had bought a great difference in me.. Foundation of my Faith in Christ was laid there. I thank God for the church he had planted me in in my youth days

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

As a Child I was sexually abused by my close family member whom I trusted a lot. When I realised what was going on after few years I was devastated, I started feeling ashamed of my self and I could not share it with anyone. This has led me into committing other sin. But God brought healing to my heart and gave His peace. He washed away all my bitter feelings and now I feel I am loved By my Jesus. If I see Children Going through/ who have gone through the same abuse I feel for them. I will be moved .

I was in a abusive relationship When I was 19. I eloped with him going against my parents and I almost got married to him I lived with him and his family for almost a year. I really had a bitter experience there… it flipped my world. His family treated me like a slave and tortured me. I was depressed and wanted to end my life as i could not find any light in my life. Finally I started Praying and I was delivered from their snare, It was hell there. I came back to my parents and they accepted me back and encouraged me to be a strong person. this experience was like the experience of prodigal son.So when I see People specially Women going through the same situation or have gone through it and are struggling to cope up with the experience they had.. who is finding hard to forgive themselves , I will feel compassion for them. I feel like encouraging them to seek God to find peace and forgiveness that only Jesus can give it to them.

Recently I got a proposal through our family friend. I liked the guy we spoke he liked me too.. but as days went by we couldn’t communicate well and misunderstanding sneaked in and I was impatient too… I doubted him as i thought he was loosing interest I tried my best to retain that relationship but he rejected me . this literally broke me into pieces. I have cried to sleep for 15 days… I gave up on Marriage. But then God revealed that I was too eager to get a life partner and did not see this coming even though God gave me several red flags…. He asked me to align my Hearts desires to HIS and focus only on Him and everything will fall into its own place…He asked me to Get Prepared as Bride for Him first .. He wanted me to Be His daughter. This experience has led me to my Jesus Once again and I am here seeking Gods will for my life is because of this recent experience and I Praise God for this. Hence When I see people going through same situation i will get connected with them and I would Like to encourage them to not to loose Hope.Not to Give up but to Cling on to Jesus.
