Mine is a story of miraculous healing by YHWH. I owe so much to him that at times I feel inferior & I wonder if I've done a good enough job in following His precepts as I should.But here I am! 51 years old, married to a wonderful spouse, employed, living in a nice house, who would have ever imagined! Let me explain why I believe this is. I was born in 1959 to 2 troubled parents. There was never any drug or alcohol abuse with my parents but they were very abusive to me both physically & emotionally. They beat me with anything they could get their hands on from belts to brooms to boards. They were both very belittling to me & I was miserable as a child. I don't remember how it happened but I met a co-worker that my dad worked with & he was a child molester & he molested me. I thought of it, at the time, as a way to get attention & affection since I wasn't getting it at home. At age 11 I was introduced to marijuana. The next 35 years of my life was steeped in drug & alcohol abuse. By the time it was over I was contemplating suicide. I had no friends, I had ruined bank accounts, I couldn't pass a drug test to get a job. At that point I cried out to the Father & he heard my plea. I called a member of a church that I was attending off & on at the time& said that I was in a lousy living situation & that I needed a place to live. In 3 days I had moved out of a bad situation into a much better one. It was October 30 2006. It was then that I began to take recovery seriously I think I used a couple of more times but on December 19 2006 I made a vow to the Father & to myself that I would never use illegal drugs again. It was then that I began to take recovery seriously I'm now going on 4 years clean & sober PRAISE YAHWEH!! I believe now as I look back that I used drugs to mask the pain of all of the abuse I suffered growing up. How ever the scriptures say to fill that void with the spirit of Yahushua & not substances. I'm now doing volunteer work in a homeless shelter here in Cincinnati hoping to give the gift away that was given to me.My life has been blessed in ways I never thought possible. I didn't even think I could enjoy a nice day without being high on something. Praise Yah he removed that lie from my life!

This is a very stirring testimony. I can relate. but not at your level. Heard a talk at a Feast this week by a man who's earliest memory of the Sabbath was when he was six years old when his father would come home from work on Fridays after being out all week. Suddenly the whole mood of the house changed. His recollection was that of his mother being beaten up and having a pot of rice and beans she'd been preparing poured over her head. The speaker said that at six years old he knew it was wrong and that when he grew up he would do it right. What a testimony to the Creator and the creation to endure such things.

HalleluYah

satan KNEW that one day....YOU were going to be Yahweh's....He was very jealous....wasn't he....Stay strong!
