How do you know God is real? When I asked God a year ago to give us one more holiday season with my grandpa, He did. When I asked God to give my grandpa the time to meet my niece, He did. When I asked God to give me one more week to say goodbye, He did. He gave us not one week more than what I had asked for. I knew my grandpa was going to pass the night before he did, which was today. My grandpa had COPD. My mother who is in the medical field had expressed that she has never seen someone live as long as my grandpa has with COPD. 10 years ago the doctor gave us one more year with him and we got 10. I am beyond grateful to my Lord that He has been gracious enough for time which is something many people aren’t able to get. Ernie, you will rest in heaven for the rest of eternity and there is no doubt in my mind that right now you are greeting your family members that have gone before you. Some of my last words to you were “You’re going to meet Jesus soon. I’m a little jealous.” because right now, Heaven is trumpeting in the welcoming of your arrival. How blessed I was to be your granddaughter on earth, and how blessed Heaven is to gain an angel like you.
A few months ago I was laying in my bed and praying. There was nothing beside me and my dog wasn’t in my room. I suddenly felt my arm burning. I looked down to find 3 scratch marks (a sign of the devil). I’m a very logistical person so of course I’m looking around me trying to make sense of it but like I said, there was nothing near me that could mark my arm like this. A normal scratch wouldn’t burn like this did. I started examining my arm to find above the 3 scratches, a scratch in the shape of a cross. For this to happen coincidentally is one thing and I am prone to rashes, but for 3 scratches and a cross scratch above it to happen during prayer was no coincidence. I have felt intense spiritual warfare in my life in the past 2 years as I’ve gotten closer to God. This felt like a crime against my christianity however, I was not afraid. I don’t believe that God would induce scratches on me, but I do believe that the cross being higher on my arm than the mark of the devil was a sign. The devil was angry that I was praying. He was mad that he lost his grasp on my soul. God said that I am His. He said, “I am above you and I hold the power.” If you want to chalk it up to coincidence, go ahead. For me, this was proof that God confirmed that I am His. Although the devil tries his best to deter our faith, this was a sign of hope that God is the King, and He will make that final decision.
This is such a crazy story. I 100% believe that the devil and demons can take over our body when we are too far gone. This is why it is so important to get right with God. He does not play about His children.
When I was a new reborn christian, I continued to sin. I didn’t pray much or read the bible but I knew I believed in God. I was still stuck in depression and mental health issues. I still was struggling to make sense of my past trauma and I was still very angry with the world. I was mean and cold hearted and filled with hate. I felt like I was constantly being attacked by people, by the devil, by the world itself. One day in the middle of my lunch break I cried in my car and I prayed. I gave God for the first time in years all of my problems and I was angry with Him but I asked Him, “do you even hear me?” Are you real? Do you hear me angrily crying out to you? Are you there to take on my problems and help me fix them? It was a simple prayer that I didn’t expect an answer to. I just had to get it all out. I got out of my car and walked into the store. 5 minutes later, I walked out and back to my car and found this card laying next to it on the ground. “God hears my prayers and answers me when I cry out.” Not only did God answer, He delivered the exact words I needed to hear. I learned that day that when you pray, He is listening and He will answer you. After that, I started praying consistently. 6 months later I felt that I needed to read the bible atleast once in my life. The bible kickstarted my spirit and I could not put it down. I read and read and read. I am nowhere near finished but read it at my own pace. From beginning to end I will read. From a lost young soul to a flourished woman deep in her faith, He grasped me. He confirmed that I am His and He is mine. He answers my every prayer and has nearly cured every mental health issue I have had. Something that no therapy nor medication could do for me. He hears me and He hears you when you cry out. All you have to do is put your two hands together and talk to God.
I grew up Lutheran christian. I went to church, was baptized, and confirmed. In high school, I was diagnosed with major depression and anxiety. I hit a very bad rough patch but continued my faith. It wasn’t until my senior year of high school when I fell into the wrong group of friends that I completely lost my faith. I was partying nearly everyday in the summer and every single weekend. My life continued to take a downturn when I went to college. I grew up with a severe underbite and was heavily bullied for it along with my weight for many years even into college. My freshman year, I got jaw surgery which completely turned my life upside down. I was now suddenly conventionally attractive. I was getting attention and I didn’t know how to handle it. I realized that pretty privilege is a real thing and people that hurt me suddenly wanted to be my friend. Everyone was kinder to me. I remember calling my grandma crying because I realized how fake and disgusting the people in this world can be. I became very angry. I continued to party often. I was losing friends left and right, my rent money was stolen, people were suddenly making up disgusting rumors about me. Everything went wrong. In June of 2022 I hit rock bottom. I decided to move home and do college online. I went back to the psychiatrist where I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety yet again but this time I also had BPD, bipolar, and PTSD from SA I experienced twice that I will not dive into at this time as I’m not ready to share my story on that. My psychiatrist was astonished that I was seemingly calm and collected amidst everything I had gone through. I had done therapy, I tried medication but all it ever did was turn me into a cold version of myself with no emotion. I dropped out of college and decided to work full time. My life was slightly on the incline but I still felt empty. I was a young adult trying to navigate my mental health and lifestyle choices with nowhere to go. In September 2023, I took a trip to Florida with a friend. We walked along the riverwalk in Tampa where a group of christian’s were singing and handing out pamphlets. Little did they know, that their work of spreading the word changed my life. I went out on a boat the next day and the sights I saw were astounding. I fed a bird a cheeto from my mouth (gross I know haha) but what really was my moment in realizing that I had been lost for so long was when a dolphin jumped alongside our boat. I have had this happen many times in my lifetime but for whatever reason, I suddenly believed in God again. It wasn’t some magical moment nor a wildly life shattering occurrence, but a simple connection with nature that made me realize God designed our world oh so perfectly that He had to be real. I didn’t seek out God or the holy spirit, He found me when the time was right. I will continue my testimony as I share more stories and images but this was the one small moment in my life that changed everything for me.
Alright! My apologies, for my post with the photo of “a sign” I accidentally posted the screenshot I took of the original photo as people pointed out it had the wrong timestamp. The original photo was taken June 19th, 2024 so much longer than a year ago. I have a lot of photos in my camera roll so instead of constantly going back to find it, I just screenshotted the photo because it is one I love to share when introducing people into my faith. I have found the original photo and also screenshotted my library around it so you can see that it is authentically my photo! I did cross out my other photos again for privacy reasons! Being honest and authentic is EXTREMELY important to me so I wanted to share the original photos once I realized my mistake of posting the screenshot instead.
Now a plus member, your encouragement leads me to share my story. From a young age, I have always been labeled “emotional.” It was often seen as a negative and I myself didn’t know how to handle it. With age, God has sculpted that emotion and taught me that He has given me a gift. The gift of connection, understanding, and empathy beyond this world. I am not a “psychic” persay, but God allows me to read others emotions and thoughts without them having to say a word. I can feel someone’s experiences and what they need to hear and He has granted me this so that I can deliver His word in the way He intends. I will share examples later when I have time but I am beyond excited to prove to this world that God is good.
a year ago I cried on my way to work. I had one block left to go and I asked God for a sign that He was with me in my time of need. Within 10 seconds my favorite colored car pulled up right next to me with a license plate that said “a sign” Timestamp included for proof
Wow! Thank you all for following and for the support in posting my testimony. Will be paying the $10 monthly because what is a measley $10 to praise my Lord?!? I cannot wait to share my experiences with you all! I’ll share one of many before I’m able to share more after work!
I need to get verified solely so I can post paragraphs upon paragraphs about my experiences with God without worrying about a typing restriction. God has changed my life more than anyone would know and I am waiting for my chance to testify. He is real and He is the great almighty
I used to wake up every morning angry. Angry at the people in this world, angry at my circumstances, angry at my past. God has taught me to be grateful for the good. He has taught me to let go of my anger and be the forgiveness. kindness. and empathy I needed in my trying times.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of my beautiful, wonderful Mothers out there! You have the hardest job and you are appreciated❤️
