My husband just told me he wants to be baptized.
I have been praying for 3 years. Every day I prayed for my husband.
I am in tears and thanking my Lord for His faithfulness.
It’s been 5 years since I entered a rehab facility for drug addiction. I was drowning in sin and hell-bound.
Jesus saves the worst of sinners, I’m living proof.
Today is the day of salvation, repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
My first year of college I did a speech on “Why Porn is Good.”
Fast forward 20 some years later, and this morning was studying the Gospel of Matthew.
What changed? God changed me. Don’t expect the unconverted to desire holiness.
Don’t preach morality, preach the gospel!
Christianity is not a bible verse tattooed on your arm. Christianity is not a cute Hillsong lyric. Christianity is not the one line in your Instagram bio. Christianity is actively dying to yourself and living for Christ.
My family and I attended a church that rarely spoke of sin and hell and never dove deep into the scriptures.
My husband remained unsaved. Feeling convicted we left and started attending a small expository preaching church.
My husband is now saved.
Biblical preaching matters.
My 20 year old son is lost, angry, and barely speaking to me. He text me tonight and I was able to send him the gospel message with prayers he will watch it. If you could please pray for his salvation. His name is Ashton.
After I was saved, I started praying for my unbelieving husband. Although my walk was far from perfect, he was “won over” by my walk with Christ. Last year, this time he was baptized. Tonight, we will attend our first bible study together.
Never stop praying. God is faithful.
My new pastor is taking my husband out to lunch today. Please pray for my husband’s salvation and for fruit from this encounter. I thank God for these small town pastors that may not be known to the world, but are definitely known by God and faithful ministers of God’s truth.
Not long ago, I was an addict with a failing marriage headed down the road of destruction. The Lord never stopped pursuing me and saved me.
4 years of praying, and today my husband will be baptized.
I rejoice in all He has done.
What a glorious Palm Sunday!
My husband smiled at me this morning and reminded me it had been 3 years since I had touched a pill or substance.
Although I’m forever grateful for the newness of life, I don’t follow Christ for the byproducts of His grace. I follow Christ because I truly love Him.
I cannot speak in tongues, I cannot bind a demon, and I cannot decree and declare anything from God.
But I can humbly come to the throne of grace with simple prayers and know who is in control and sovereign.
I drove by a church almost daily for over 10 years and would always read their sign with bible verses out front. Today, I attend this small biblically solid church.
Even though it’s small, it’s rich in worship.
I’m thanking God today for leading me here.
Happy Lord’s Day!
7 years ago I was dead sin, in and out of institutions and rehabs.
Tonight, I’m hosting my first women’s fellowship for church at my house.
Even though at times sanctification is slow and not easy, I see His hand in everything.
Grateful for new life in Christ.
Soli Deo Gloria
My husband gave a short testimony for his baptism. He said he had witnessed the power of God in transforming me and it made him question his life and own salvation.
Never stop praying for your loved ones and walking in truth. No one is beyond God’s saving grace.
SDG!
If you could please pray for my 10 year old daughter, Kesaria. She’s had belly pain for almost a month, losing weight and not herself and cries when she tries to eat. X-ray showed she was full of air but no explanation as to why. She will get labs today.
About 2 years ago I opened the Bible for the first time. Since then, most of my time has been spent alone in prayer and learning scripture in my room.
It’s in the waiting and isolation I have grown the most in my walk.
Sometimes in these moments God does his best work in us.
Today is my husband’s 50th birthday. He is a selfless and hardworking surgeon, a wonderful husband and father.
But above all his accomplishments I pray he comes to true saving faith and God grants him salvation.
If you could please join me in praying for Zurab today.
1 Peter 3
Today I’m going to see the woman who gave me the gospel. I did not like hearing truth and I ended up firing her.
She is on hospice and will be face to face with the Lord soon.
I want to apologize and thank her.
Please pray for God to give me the strength.
And for Sally.
I’ve been laughed at and mocked for preaching Christ by so-called Christians today.
So I shed a few tears, washed my face, and thanked God for bringing me from darkness into His glorious light.
Today, I turn 40 years old. I am grateful for life and salvation.
And I am sure of this, that he who began a great work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6
I often think of the night I overdosed when I see someone die from addiction. My husband found me lifeless and blue. Him, being a skilled doctor was able to revive me. God not only saved my life that night, but later saved my dead soul and granted me everlasting life in Christ.
The picture on the left was me in active addiction, dead in sin, hell-bound. The picture on the right, saved by grace. Today if you hear His voice do not harden your heart. Repent and believe in the finished work of Jesus. Today is the day of salvation.
Ephesians 2:8-9
My 20-year-old son came to visit me for the first time tonight in about 2 years. I pray for healing and forgiveness in our relationship that has been strained from past hurts. But above all, I pray for his salvation in Christ. Keep praying for your unsaved children.
If my prayer warriors could pray for William. William is completely missing his pulmonary artery. He will be having a very complex heart surgery next week. Pray for the surgeons and his family as they were unable to fly, but are driving from Kansas to California for surgery.
I used to be pro-choice, pro-porn, pro-euthanasia, pro anything against God.
Then God saved me and gave me a new heart and new desires.
Don’t spend energy trying to change someone’s mind. They are dead in sin. Preach the gospel and God will do the work necessary for new life.
I had to laugh when I got the mail today.
I was thinking just a few years ago I was reading, “50 Shades of Grey” to
today, I was excited to receive “The American Puritans.”
God can change any heart.
Oh, man. 🤣🤣
Dear Christian,
Satan loves when you spend your day focused on conspiracy theories and “Plandemic” videos instead of on the glorious gospel.
Eyes focused on Christ.
Love,
A saved wretch
If I died tomorrow, please do not tell the world a religion or denomination saved me. Tell them only by grace through faith in Jesus was I saved. And preach the gospel. That’s my only request.
Today marks 2 years since my baptism. It has been by far the most challenging 2 years. This picture brings me joy and hope. To live is Christ, to die is gain.
Would love to see more baptism photos from my brothers and sisters. 🤗
It wasn’t long ago that my marriage was in shambles and on the verge of divorce.
But God....
Celebrating our 11 year anniversary today.
Soli Deo Gloria!
I was baptized as a baby. Spent every Sunday in church growing up and did every sacrament required.
Yet, I was dead in my sins and hell bound until Jesus called me from spiritual death into his glorious light.
“I’m glad we are saved by grace, not by good works. Because I don’t wanna sit in heaven and listen to everybody brag for eternity of how they got there.”
D. L. Moody
“It is misleading to say that God accepts us the way we are. Rather he accepts us despite the way we are. He receives us only in Christ and for Christ’s sake. Nor does He mean to leave us the way He found us, but to transform us into the likeness of his Son.”
Sinclair Ferguson
I sat through every Christmas mass as a child growing up and honestly couldn’t even explain or understand the gospel. So many people will clean up in their nicest clothes today and tomorrow and celebrate a savior they do not know. Pray for those that are lost in false religions.
When I first started my walk, I looked up to women in my town who seemed to be true followers of Christ. As I grow in the word, I’m finding that I have nothing in common with them.
Ladies, it’s okay to not follow the popular crowd. Follow Christ.
I am saddened that some do not think I am saved because I do not possess certain gifts, speak in tongues, and cannot manifest miracles. Does God perform miracles? Absolutely. I’m living proof of God’s mercy. I merely preach the gospel and the rest to God.
The cost of following Christ is high. You may even lose your own family for the sake of Christ.
But take heart, the reward is much greater. We find our lives in return for having given them up to Jesus Christ.
Matthew 10:34-36
A little over 3 years ago I was sitting in a rehab completely broken and unsaved. Today, I’m watching my son play soccer and know God is in control of my life. And if it was all taken away tomorrow, I still have way more than I deserve. Only by God’s grace I am here.
My 8-year-old fell climbing and broke his distal humerus in his right arm and we are waiting to see what it will require to fix. Praying it just needs casted but may need surgery. Please pray for Niko.
“When people ask me what appeals to me about heaven, it isn’t the streets of transparent gold or gates made of pearls; it’s the absence of sin. I’m tired of sin.”
John MacArthur
“This year, let us dissolve all our hopes into a single hope, to know Christ and be found in Him. May this be the year to desire a radically transformed, deeper, truer, knowing Christ as our All-Sufficient One.”
Elisabeth Elliot
Ever since I’ve been saved, I’ve had a disconnect from my own family members. I’ve spent the last 3 days on vacation with my own mother and it feels like she’s a stranger. And then I beat myself up because I feel like I’ve failed as a daughter. I’m struggling in this walk.
My pastor who just lost his niece this week, whom he helped raise, preached today. At the end of his sermon, he wept. Saying he loves God no matter what.
We wept with him, and Jesus wept.
What a raw testimony of faith.
“Radical Christians are not people who jump around at concerts. Radical Christians are not people who just wear Christian t-shirts. Radical Christians are those who bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit.”
Voddie Baucham
The gospel isn’t just for abortionists, prostitutes, homosexuals but for porn-addicted pastors, unconverted elders, and self-righteous churchgoers.
Burk Parsons
I sat at my kitchen table today with my head in my hands. I could not find the words.
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
Romans 8:26
I was stripped of much and most of my friends after the Lord saved me. But he has replaced them with the best brothers and sisters I could ask for. They all come from different walks of life, and we don’t look alike or even the same color. Cause none of that matters in Christ.
I just spoke to my sister for the first time in almost 2 years. She’s a converted Muslim. It did not go well and I’m heartbroken. I managed to get the gospel in. I’m tearfully praying for God to soften her heart.
I’m attending a new church today that’s more biblically sound. Please pray I continue to grow in God’s word and pray for my husband’s salvation. It’s been quite a tough season. But I’m standing firmly on God’s truth.
