Verse
of the Day: Revelations 2:7
“He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I
give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”
Are we listening
to the Spirit of God? We need our spiritual ears turned up to overcome through
Christ. He will direct our path and in the end we will eat of the tree of life,
which is everlasting life. Here is a short version of my testimony.
Growing up I was molested as a
young child, brought up in a broken home, but the little bit of Christ put in
me never left me. As a teen, my boyfriend was a married man, I was having sex,
using drugs, and consuming alcohol regularly. I began to sell drugs and run the
streets heavily as a young adult. Partying and making money was my way of life,
but Christ was still with me.
Basketball kept me grounded
though. I played through high school but with all the distractions, I was not
as good as I could have been. I did get a scholarship to PJC which I blew by
getting kicked out for alcohol and partying. God still gave me a second chance
at another scholarship at Shaw University which I blew for drugs and pursuing
music. I ended up getting involved with
the wrong crowd, signing with a record label, and caught up in theft and all
kinds of evil, but God never left me.
I ended up prostituting myself
and working in strip clubs, but God even sent people to me during this rough
time. He continued to watch over me. My life continued with more drug sales and
a lifestyle in the fast lane. This soon came to a halt when I got the
revelation that I was pregnant. I told God if I was pregnant I would give my
life to him and 3 months later, I was baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost.
Amen! Those things that had me bound were no longer holding me back and I was
set free by the Lamb of God!
Revelation 12:11 (KJV)
“And they overcame him by the blood of
the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives
unto the death.”
2
Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
“Therefore if
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,
all things are become new.”
Halleluyah! I was no longer “Dirty Red”, my
alias, I was now who God created me to be, a child of the most High God! I am
an overcomer through Christ who saved me from a world of sin. And now I stand
firm on the Rock, Jesus Christ, the anchor of my soul. Nothing can take
me away from the love of Christ!
Romans
8:35-39 (KJV)
“Who shall separate
us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For
thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the
slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Have
you overcome through the blood of Jesus? What is your testimony? Now I can
boldly say, “I am an overcomer!”
Walk
in the Spirit,
Prophetess
