This is my testimony, I hope you get something out of it.
Praise the Lord! Since I have so much to be thankful for, I must be brief. In 1986 I was addicted to several things and was so tired of hitting bottom that I started calling on Jesus. He led me to a local church where a revival was about to start. The message was about the power sin had over my life and the power Jesus wanted to give me over sin.Before the message was over I was on my knees at the alter praying and seeking Jesus. That had been a right-now-on-time message from a right-now-on-time GOD. When I got up I heard a lot of comforting words from others, but didn't feel a change or the power.
I went again the next night and another convicting, powerful message landed in my lap. Again I was on my knees seeking Jesus.
I got up and all I felt was desperation and thought maybe I had to change some things.
I think GOD wanted to see what I was made of deep down so I threw my ciggs down and 24 hrs later, I didn't need or want them any more.
I was at that alter for 5 nights straight. The last night I was on my knees, the Holy Ghost came in me and I bent over backwards with my hands still raised and began speaking in other tongues as Gods Spirit moved on me.
Before I knew it, the whole church got hit and everyone began dancing or crying with some speaking and singing in tongues.
I knew this was not something weird this hard-rocking heavy-metal head had just dreamed up, because every one there experienced it!
Since then, all I'm addicted to is Jesus' love. I just want to get closer to him.
I once was lost, but now I'm found; was blind but now I see.
Jesus is the answer!
I've never hit bottom since.
