Pastor Stephen's Testimony
What can God do with a desperate young man? I know what he has done with this one. My name is A Stephen. I am a Christian from the country of India and this is my story. I was born and raised in India. My parents were orthodox Hindus and I was thought the doctrine of my family’s religion. As a young man I travelled all over southern India with my parents to offer sacrifices and to worship Hindu idols. Yet my life remained empty and had no peace or happiness. After stealing money from my father’s temple, I left my family and village. I travelled from village to village talking to sadhus (Hindu holy men), yet their counsel did not provide me the life changing experience with God for which I was searching. Again, the peace I was seeking eluded me. After three months I returned home with no money and no peace. I was so broke that I thought suicide was the answer.

Thank you for sharing your testimony with us. May God draw your Father and Mother's heart to Him...pray that the eyes of the heart would be open. They have been blinded by the devil and in order to understand the word tells us in Acts 26:18

Praying for your family and your Light that is lived before them, may it draw them in too.

ReplyDeleteNaveen, what a beautiful testimony of God's grace!I enjoyed reading every word. It's interesting that God took you step by step to where you are now, not condemning you for worshiping idols until you were ready to stand for Him.
ReplyDeleteIt will be exciting to see what He has in store for you in the future!
What a powerful testimony! You certainly are more than a conqueror! You have been through much, yet by the grace of God you have been called for such a time as this! I praise God that you have been born again of water and of the spirit; baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the removal of your sins, and that you have been filled with His precious Holy Spirit! As I read your testimony, I thought of Daniel and the three Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! You are truly a living testimony! What a mighty God we serve! I praise God for you, and I'm so glad that we chatted today. Continue to let your light shine before all men, that they might see your good works and glorify the Father in heaven! Your reward will be great! I am very happy for you! Continue to stand on the word of God! Praise God! On my blog on Wednesdays, we have a Praise and Worship Session. I would love for you to join in the worship experience. I'm going to leave the link for one of the worship experiences. Please feel free to join us! May the Lord bless you, and keep you! May He make His face to shine upon you, and may He give you peace! :-) :-)
