I am now seventy-one years old and have been a Christian most of my life. I still remember my first experience with the Lord as a boy of eleven years old. It must have been a revival meeting my folks and I were attending because we were going several nights in a row. I recall sitting in church and feeling very tired and falling asleep. Suddenly I was awakened and the preacher was giving an invitation to come to the altar and give your heart to the Lord. I instantly felt a strong pull like a nail drawn to a magnet to go down and respond to that call. I had never experienced this feeling before. I asked my dad if I could go out and when I went outside I broke down and cried. I decided right then if I felt that again, I was going down to the altar. The next day I forgot all about what had happened the night before. I felt no different, but that night we went back. The same thing happened. All I felt was sleepy and couldn't keep my eyes open, however when the preacher gave the altar call I was wide awake. That same drawing was pulling on my heart. |
This time I went down and I knew afterwards I was different and there had been a change in me. The next day I was still thoroughly excited about this new encounter with Jesus and I went right away and ask a friend to go to church with me. I wanted my friend to have what I had. This hunger for the Lord's presence has continued to follow me through these years. I have had many encounters with the Lord since that day and His calling still beckons me to come closer. I've made mistakes, probably slowed down God's first plan for me, but that anointing I feel, I'm still drawn to. I am not satisfied by any means, I still want more of Him. The one thing I declare is, He's faithful in all his promises and I want to know Him and the power of His resurrection. |

We welcome any input or questions from anyone, especially those who are eager to grow and share God's word with another believer. I have learned much about the Lord since I began my walk with Him, but I feel I've just scratched the surface. His ways are higher than ours.
