Marguerite KirkseyBorn Again: Friday, the Third
Week of August
|
My Testimony |
I felt lost for the first time at age eleven during Concord's revival. I thought Brother Elihu Martin preached every word to me. I was so convicted I went to the altar for prayer twice that week. On Friday, I was determined I would not leave until I was saved. The burden was so heavy I thought I would die and after the church had dismissed, I asked if they would pray one more prayer with me. I don't remember much about that prayer except praying, "Please Lord don't let me die like this. I will go to hell." Suddenly, I knew I had something I couldn't wait to tell. I had planned to shout, but I didn't. I just had a sweet peace. I joined the church and was baptized the next day.
Jesus Said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". [John 14:27]
