Almighty God did a glorious and wondrous work in my heart and soul at my home one night nearly twelve years ago through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. I relate to the publican in the parable found in Luke 18:13, “And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying , God be merciful to me a sinner.” I cried out and God did not tarry, He saved me! I was born again! I was working at a factory at the time. I left that building a dead man walking in my trespasses and sins and returned through the door saved sealed, secured and a new creature in Christ (II Corinthians 5:17.) Glory to God forever and ever!
My co-workers saw a new man. The Holy Spirit was doing a mighty work in me. I took in God’s Word like a famished man who had gone far too long without nourishment. My friends scattered and some asked if I had joined a cult. I was growing from the inside out and everyone was beginning to notice. The devil at times was relentless in his attacks, but Almighty God was, and still is faithful. I am grateful that the armour of God does not wear thin or wear out. I was told; I needed to, “lighten up.” I was told, “You are taking this serious.” I had one man tell me, “Don’t get too deep in the Scriptures.” I plowed forward with the Word of God lighting my way and the Holy Spirit empowering and enabling me to live in victory each step of the way. Amen and Amen!! God was stirring a white hot fire that the devil and his angels couldn’t extinguish.
So, here I am, nearly twelve years later and the joy that I know and feel for what Jesus did in the saving of my soul still burns today! Salvation never grows old! The fire still burns!! I spend a lot of timing looking back, but not at who I once was or my past sins, but at what my Saviour did for me on that glorious night on the floor of my home. That night at my home on my face before Almighty God was where grace and mercy convened when I cried Jesus save me!
Take time today to praise God for the glorious work He did in the saving of your soul! Lift His name up high! He is worthy of our praise!
