There was a time when Billy Graham was on television being interviewed and he was asked, “How do you become a Christian?” He replied, “You have got to see that you are a sinner, repent of your sin, and just believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and let him into your life.”
On hearing this I can remember turning to members of my family and saying, “Yes, I believe that!” A few months later my former Pastor stopped his car in Summerseat and asked me if I wanted to hear Billy Graham at Earls Court in London. I replied, “Yes”. I remember it was a nice day out in London, but it was mainly the evening that I remember: an evening that changed my life forever. We went up to Earls Court, and the arena was massive.
The first thing that struck me was the music of the choir. On taking our seats, what we saw was breath-taking: in the main body there were seats on the ground floor, and on three sides there were seats rising up in steps. We were on the left hand side, and as we looked down we could see the pulpit in front of us; just behind this was where the guest speakers were seated and above them was the choir.
When the service started I can honestly say that I do not remember much of what happened, but I do remember when Mr Graham said: “This might be the last opportunity you get to believe!” My heart was beating so fast and I knew what I had to do. I went forward and I was led into the counselling room at the back where an old gentleman sat me down and told me that I had to repent of my sin and accept the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart. In those moments that is what I did, and when I came out of the meeting, my heart felt like a burden had been lifted – I felt clean.
I am now writing this testimony 47 years on, and I can faithfully confirm that the Lord Jesus Christ has been my Saviour and Lord from that time on until now and I would not have it any other way.
My life has changed completely and I thank God for it – he has kept me all the way.
