God's encouragement came right when needed

Hi!

I'm not so good with my English, but I will try my best to tell my story. My name is Anette I am a 38 year's old, Christian lady, from Norway. I'm married to Tom and we've got 3 children: one girl and two boys. My husband is not a Christian, and sometimes it can be really hard, you know. But I praise the Lord! I now His promise is that my holdhouse shall be saved.

What I want to tell you about happened some years ago when my husband and I where on a holiday in Sweden. We had been traveling around with our campervan with our two boys - a 7 year old and a 4 week baby - for about two weeks when it happened.

I had felt really bad inside the last days, longing to have some Christian friends to speak with. I felt like I have not succeeded in my life as a Christian and that I had done things I should't have done. I felt and I was wondering if the Lord would forgive me for my sin. I had ask Him to forgive, and I knew inside my heart that He had done so, but this feeling wouldnt leave me.

In this peculiar day that I want to tell you about, we were going to a big amusement park. We parked the car and then it happened. When I went out of the car I heard my spirit praying: "O, God I pray that you send a person to me, filled with your Holy Spirit. I was suprised! But I didn't think anymore about this prayer, and I and my family went into the park. Tom took our oldest son and went to have some fun in the park, and I took our little baby Andreas and went looking for a place where I could sit down.

After a while I felt thirsty and went to buy a coke. There, in the queue, I saw a young boy with a necklace whit a cross on. I started thinking that: He is a Christian! And then I saw him speaking with what I was thinking was his mam and dad. What I didn't now at that point, was that the Lord was pointing out these people to me. He wanted to use them to show His love and care that He had for me.

I bought a coke and went back to where I was sitting. I suddenly realized that the boy with the cross and his family were sitting behind me. After a while it looked like they were going, and in my spirit I heard myself saying:'oh, no, they are leaving!'. I didn't know why I said that and felt so sad that they were leaving. But the Lord did! He knew that I needed to speak with somebody. Jesus heard the prayer I had prayed earlier that day, and He wanted to reach out His loving arms through these people. He had seen my longing heart.

Suddenly the mother in that family came back and set down beside me. She asked if she could take a look at my baby. Yes, I said. And then she told me she had eight children. Then I said to her:'Tell me: are you a christian?' 'Yes, she said. When I was about to leave the park the Lord told me that I should go back to you and speak with you'

In that moment I felt the love of God and started to cry. She told me about her family and her life and I felt how the words were touching my heart and every burden fell of as she was speaking. I'm so greatful to the Lord that He sent me help when I needed it and in an amusement park!!!

God is not religious! He loves you and me so much and is always looking for a way to bless His child. He will give us more than we can imagine to pray about! God is Love! He wants to satisfy our needs with His glory! Just call upon Him.

Glory to God!

Your sister in Christ,

Anette

A Personal Challenge For You

The people of the world can be divided into two groups. The first group are those who can clearly point to the intervention of Jesus Christ in their lives. The second are those who cannot. If you are in this latter group PLEASE don't let another hour go past before you get right with God. He loves you and has a great plan for your life! But there must be change. If you are religious but can't point to a definite work of God in your life YOU NEED to get born again in the Bible way. To find out how to get right with God, click here now.

If however, you are in the first group and you have a testimony of Christ's working in your life, God wants you to share it. Read HERE about the power of your testimony. You can overcome Satan by the Word of your testimony, and help others to find faith in Christ.

Would you like to do this? If so, start writing your testimony as soon as you can, and THEN, e-mail your testimony to me here so we can publish it for you online. Post it on the testimonies bulletin board here. In this way you are helping to fulfil the Great Commission. Some testimonies on this site are reaching 10 or even 20 people per day. Our team wishes to help people share their testimonies through the internet. Let us together bring hope to those who don't know the reality of our wonderful Savior Jesus Christ.
