    I'm also a single black woman in my 4th year of pharmacy school. I appreciate the doors God has opened for me.This testimony spoke to me because I think God is telling me I need more spiritual discipline and that I need to be more obedient.

      Our true identity outside of Christ is condemned. Our true identity after becoming a Christian is born again, child of God, secure and sealed. We need to be born again by the Holy Spirit to even see the kingdom of God! Don't let the "image of God thing" be misconstrued to endorse a "born in sin" lie. I am just saying. . . you need to know the difference. Because churchianity will teach and treat everyone as if they assume they are believers and "good to go." Don't depend on churchianity or "in the image of God" fleshly ideas.

    I can relate to her, I go to church and taking Bible classes yet I still listen to worldly music and go to clubs just to fill in what's missing in my life because I don't feel happy or satisfied. I feel like I a missing something or should I say many things in my life. I go out and drink beer not because I want to but because I feel hopeless and have nothing to live for except my daughter. I feel like giving up sometimes and stop going to church but part of me tells me not to. I haven't drank in about 3 weeks and recently started drinking today because I feel like I am never going to get what I desire in this life. Being a single father sucks, I hope God sends me a woman of God to marry one day and leave all this sinning behind.

    Love this. We truly are not identified by our accomplishments and titles. Those are just vehicles that God uses. Knowing our identity in Christ is vital and God has been re-emphasizing this to me this year. It's not easy when the world views what you drive, what org you are apart of, how much money you make, what you do for a living, how big your house is, what kind of clothes you wear, marriage, etc. as success. However, Christ has shown me that my success & identity is found in Him alone. 🙌🏽

      Friend, a person is made righteous by faith in Jesus. The only 1st steps you need is to believe in Jesus and to call out to him for help. Make steps torwards Him, however small, and keep going. Read your Bible. Pray to Him daily. Put away the things you know He doesn't like, and seek to know more of what He does, and put that into practice. Its not by your strength, but by His. He will help you. He will meet you where you are at. Be encouraged that Jesus is in the business of redemption. And you are the very person He has died on the cross for!

These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength, 20which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, 21far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

    Part of your testimony really resonated with me; turning towards the Lord feeling overwhelmed and hurt in a similar experience by another believer in ministry; then having the comfort of experiencing the Lord speak into my heart and life how "Even though people will let you down and hurt you, I will never leave or forsake you." I can relate too how it can be a crucial importance how bringing that to the Lord, changes what the enemy meant for evil, God turns out for good.
    You're inspiring me though to dig deeper in studying the bible.

      Some people are naturally storytellers. It's not anything that needs a script, some people just can't relay a event. It's how the brain works. It sometimes sieves out of a person's brain so it doesn't retain it. They won't be able to tell a testimony on their salvation story unless they able to ponder on their life. Tell it and still feel what the experience was.

    🎶 "You saved me, you changed me, and you made me into someone you could use. And you gave me a new beginning, Lord I thank you..."
    There is a Christian song called "Testimony" by Monica Trejo (Kingdom Muzik) with a similar message. It's the story of a young woman struggling with self worth who gets caught up in the clubbing lifestyle and taken advantage of by men. She was in a really dark place when Jesus heals her hurt/trauma and restores her life.

    The Jesus Only church misuses the term Apostolic Church in the same way JW misuse the Word Jehovah. Im sorry. The Jesus Only church has ruined my marriage. Broken up my family. It's so sad. But I trust the true and living God.

      Other versions speak "English." I have to study another version when I read the KJV version. Other versions speak more plainly.
