Delivered from Drug and Alcohol Addiction: A Testimony of Salvation and New Life in Christ
When I was a kid, going to church was a lot of fun for me because I love dancing and singing, but I didn’t really know who Jesus and God were. But I still kept going to church.
In 2004, I went to a Christian Boarding School in Darwin. As a young teenager in school there was a lot of trouble and hate I had faced but that didn’t stop me from going school because education was important to me and my family.
Then in 2007, I started hating my houseparents, who were only trying to help me, but I didn’t want to listen to them because at that time my dad went for surgery and they had to operate on his heart. I was drowning in my sorrow, and I felt like telling no one,
But little did I know that God was watching over my family and me. So in 2009, when I was 17 years old, I started doing drugs and drinking all sorts of beer. It was fun, but it also brought pain. Then I realised that doing that was slowing me down in my studies, and I was always tired.
But I didn’t pay attention to what was really happening in my spiritual life. Looking back, I was living in complete darkness. In 2009, I got married, and in 2010, I had a child. After my daughter was born, I turned back to drinking, and it had gotten worse. My husband and I were always fighting – then It was me and my mum fighting.
Then, emptiness and fear began to build inside me. I felt like the devil was always watching my every move. On July 07, 2011, my great-grandfather passed away. Two days before his funeral, there was a big fellowship, with lots of people, and they asked if anyone needed prayer.
I stood up and said, “YES, I WANT TO GIVE MY HEART TO JESUS CHRIST!” As they were praying for me, I felt the Holy Spirit hit me like a flood. Then my soul was uplifted, and I felt no more heaviness – and it was like I was floating on air,
I could never forget the feeling of the Holy Spirit. And now I continue to praise God and worship Him even more, and watch others grow in Christ.
I believe that God can set you free from anything because NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE to GOD.
Have faith and keep it strong…
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!
