Sharing Testimonies and Joy with You

Last week, I had a wonderful opportunity to baptize an ex-Satanist. He gave his heart to the Lord Jesus earlier, and now wanted to receive baptism. After explaining to him what baptism means, he understood and decided to make the commitment to die to self, to identify with Christ and to rise again with Christ to live a victorious Christian life.

In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit I joyfully baptized him and welcomed him into the Kingdom of God. What a day. What a powerful testimony for the Lord that he is making already.

Another one after years of pain and anguish in her soul about a sickening disease decided to give her life to the Lord. I led her to renounce all ties to the dark world and its demonic forces, renounced the evil spirits and denounced Satan.

In the name of Jesus I bound the evil spirits that had oppressed her for a long time and cast them out of her life. Immediately after that, a beautiful smile appeared on her face. It is no longer a sad and troubled face but a radiant smile expressing the new found relief and freedom from the pain and anguish of the soul.

I asked her if there is anything that would stop her from receiving the water baptism. She said nothing would stop the baptism. I simply explained to her what baptism meant and gladly baptized her in the name of the Father, of the Son and the Holy Spirit. She felt cleansed, pure and relieved of the burden that had put upon her heart for a long time. What a mighty God we serve. You can help but notice a new calmness she has shown after that.

More and more, I have experienced leading many troubled people to seek the Lord, and some have found the joy of salvation, healing and deliverance that they were looking for.

Today while we were singing songs worshipping God, the Holy Spirit moved mightily on one of the participants, and she broke out crying. Another friend came to hold her as we continued our worship. Through the song the Holy Spirit touched her and mended her broken heart. Many gave thanks to the Lord afterward.

Keep pressing on.
