Denise WebbBorn Again: One night
after revival services
|
ÿI joined Yuma Baptist Church when I was about ten years old. I knew at the time that I wasn't saved, but a lot of kids were baptized that year and I guess I wanted to be too. When Harold and I married we started attending church at Independent Baptist Church. Revival services began and Brother Kenneth Massey was the preacher. Harold started going to the altar for prayer and I would go to pray with him. The Lord began to remind me that I wasn't saved either. Needless to say my condition got worse. We would talk about the service every night after we got home. It seemed like the Lord dealt with me more when I was alone with my own thoughts at bedtime. When I laid down to sleep I would pray on my pillow for the Lord to save me. Then, one night as I lay on my pillow praying I just thought, I'll die if that's what it takes, and somehow within myself I gave up everything in this world. At that very moment RELIEF passed over me and I fell asleep immediately. I doubted my experience for some time until I realized there was no burden in my heart when I heard sermons about dying and going to hell and I haven't had trouble in my heart like that since. I joined the church in 1982 and was baptized.
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." [I Peter 5:6-7]
