ALL THE HONOR AND GLORY FOR THE LORD. I WENT TO A RETREAT WITH A GROUP OF LADIES FROM THE CHURCH MY FAMILY AND I ATTEND, AND BELIEVE ME IT WAS NOT EASY TO GET THERE, SO MANY OBSTACLES WERE THROWN MY WAY TO KEEP ME FROM GOING, BUT THE LORD MADE IT POSSIBLE. UPON ARRIVING TO THE CAMPSITE AS SOON AS I TOUCHED THE GROUND I FELT GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER MY BODY AND A HAPPY AND FREE FEELING CAME OVER ME. A SISTER FROM THE CHURCH WAS LOOKING AT ME AND TOLD ME THE LORD TOLD ME HE HAS A GREAT BLESSING FOR YOU I WAS NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF IT THIS WAS MY FIRST RETREAT OR EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS. WE WENT TO THE TEMPLE FOR FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE AND I HAD ALWAYS BEEN THE ONE TO SIT IN THE BACK OF THE TEMPLE BUT FOR SOME REASON SOMETHING WHICH I NOW KNOW WAS THE LORD TOLD ME SIT IN FRONT SO I DID. I SAT BEHIND MY PASTORS WIFE AND AN EVANGELIST AND THE EVANGELIST STARTED TURNING AROUND AND LOOKING AT ME AND I STARTED TO FEEL A LITTLE WORRIED BUT ANXIOUS AT THE SAME TIME. ABOUT 10 MINUTES INTO HER SPEAKING SHE COMES TOWARDS ME AND PUTS HER HAND ON MY HEAD AND MY KNEES BUCKLED AND I STARTED TO CRY AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY. SHE PULLED ME UP TOWARDS THE ALTAR AND SHE BEGAN TO TELL ME OF MY DEPRESSION AND PAINS FROM MY CHILDHOOD UNTIL THAT VERY POINT AND EVEN TOLD ME OF THE DREAMS I HAD BEEN HAVING OF THE ENEMY TAUNTING ME. I KNEW THEN THAT IT WAS DIRECTLY FROM GOD FOR I HAD NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS WOMAN BEFORE. THE LORD SPOKE THROUGH HER AND TOLD ME HE WAS MAKING A NEW COVENANT WITH ME THAT HE WAS WITH ME WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME OR EVER LET ANYONE HURT ME EVER AGAIN. I FELT WONDERFUL I THEN GAVE MY LIFE TO CHRIST AND THE LADY PUT HER HAND ON ME AND I FELL BACK CARELESSLY AND CRIED TEARS OF JOY WHEN I STOOD UP THE EVANGELIST AND MY PASTORS WIFE CAME TO ME AND WERE AMAZED TO SEE THAT THE LORD ANOINTED ME WITH GOLD FLAKES THAT WERE COVERING MY BODY, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I SPOKE IN TONGUES, GOT CLEANSED, GOT A BEAUTIFUL ANOINTING, AND WAS SAVED. I CAME FROM A CATHOLIC BACKGROUND AND WAS NEVER TAUGHT OF THE BIBLE. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT ALL THESE THINGS REALLY HAPPENED I THOUGHT YOU ONLY HAD TO BE BAPTIZED AND THAT WAS IT, BUT THANK YOU MY LORD IN HEAVEN FOR SHOWING ME THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE JOHN 14:6. IF YOU BELIEVE AND OPEN YOUR HEARTS TO HIM HE WILL SHOW YOU ALL OF HIS WONDERS.
