Deliverance

Deliverance

Without my Jesus This writer is Naught
By His blood-shed salvation was bought
He is the only one, that can cover all sin
Through Him (only) can a new life begin

Just where would I be without my king
He owns my all, my everything
Nay, He did not take it, I gave to him
My Life, my soul to free me from sin

Jesus replaced self on my heart throne
Because to my Savior I, too, now belong
Many lessons now being taught to me
Some hard to learn, this old-self to free

The lessons now taught, they’re very real
Some long ago learned, remembered still
Taking from self makes Jesus increase
Until old self is gone in a total release

Thy words were found, and I did eat them;
and thy word was unto me the joy
and rejoicing of mine heart:
for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
Jeremiah 15:16
<><><><><><>
When Jesus came to me I had been listening to a song on the TV as I lay on the couch, listening to a gospel 'sing'. One man was singing about "One drop was shed for me." I felt that drop - suddenly that drop, covered me. It was really quiet, such a Holy Moment, I felt that one drop covering me and it thrilled my soul. I knew God had picked me for some reason. I had to hurry because he wanted my soul. I knew it was time to truly give my life to the Lord.

I knew it. I felt his call. He wanted me of all people. Me? I felt it in my soul, stronger than anything I had ever felt before. I got up and stumbled down the hall and fell upon my knees by my bed and I do not know how long I was there, but I knelt and then I even lay on the floor. There I lay in total submission; I was covered with his glory.

When I came to I almost floated out into the hallway. I was so tickled. All I could do was laugh. I was a brand new child of God - the King of Glory. The one and only God of Gods. Such a marvelous feeling. I belonging to the King of Kings. I even wondered why I had been afraid of submitting to him before. It was an icy hot feeling inside and outside of my whole being. I arose, cleaner than a brand new baby,

I was the happiest I had ever been in my entire life and I had heaven to simply fall into my soul. That’s how it felt. I was filled - overflowing my soul is the only way I know how to explain the happening, never to be forgotten, simply beautiful. I started down the hallway and felt like I was so thrilled - it happened with not one soul in the house to tell about the new life that had just entered my old existence.

I felt, at least, a foot up over the floor, as I simply floated to the kitchen, then started to cry, by now in pure relief. I had never felt more pure or cleaner, I had been thoroughly cleaned and full of God's sweet spirit...

Having prayed and praised God so much, I was almost hoarse. what a happening - what a beautiful happening, My God came in my heart and He still is living right there until this very day. I had found what my heart had searched for all of my life, only a prayer away. He was there all of the time, right inside of me.

I have searched no longer. What I had found was the piece of puzzle that was missing from my entire life. It is God - he is the fulfillment of what I yearned for. I had searched and searched. I had been so unsatisfied in my life; it is so satisfying knowing he lives within, that He is truly alive inside of me. Praise God for my sweet salvation.

It felt like inside of my mind that God had turned on a light inside of my whole body, inside of my whole life, I felt as if I was illuminated. I just kept crying "Hh praise you, Father. Thank you!"

I must have said that for a solid hour. I could not stop praising him enough; he had honestly saved me. I would never be the same.

I had given my life to the Lord when I was 15 and had been baptized ,in Jesus name. Then, I thought I was saved - well I was, in a way

I know now I had been willing only, but when the Lord called me I knew it, and anyone who had experienced the lord will know it also. He just kept giving me stuff to do and I loved it. would you believe I used to be so bashful I would have never spoke to hardly a stranger at all?

Now I loved even the stranger, finding that strangers are just friends. I just have not found their name yet; they can sense it too. They know -  When you love the Lord, it is impossible to hide it, nor do you want to. You would shout it up on, the highest hill. Some still do.

You want to repay him for your newfound peace, knowing you never can do it, no matter what you could do , But you still appreciate him for what he has done in your life and you want to bring others to the well.

You feel like you have a flowing well inside of you, and you just bubble out over upon everyone, so many have come to God thruough words given to you for them. I have seen miracles you would never believe could happen, so I will not talk about them here. So many folks now think I brag and I have to admit I do, a lot of bragging on my God, because just you tell me. Who is worthier?

I thank you Jesus,
What a wonderful day to relive this all over again. Thank you Mighty God, for miracles, that happened to me, so long ago. Seems only yesterday. This wonder happened to me. God you just simply grow sweeter as the years go by. Now I am on the back side of the cross and look back over my long life and see where I came from and how many mountains and valleys we have traveled together. I know the lights of home are near and my wilderness days will cease. I thank God for my life.. That was in July/Aug 1976. I have never been the same since.

I have been growing and just knowing ever since then, that my Lord is real. He is indeed still saving people each and every day, Today I praise his Holy Name. I thank him for giving himself for me. The very least i could do for him is to give myself to him and I have never been sorry. I have been a child of God for 70 years, but got really serious about it about 40 years ago, come August 76.  Such a difference, getting serious makes all of the difference in the world about salvation. What a treasure i have found in him. This is one little pearl I wanted to share with you. I do not ever wish to be ashamed of my savior, especially after what he has done for me... do you?
