Jesus Loves You

09 | "I Saw You."

After the lovely way I met Jesus, I saw my life changing. 

I already told you that it became hard for me to complete my books then. The more I focused, the more I was confused. I was wondering what was going wrong when, suddenly, my teacher texted me.

The first time he texted me was when I was around fourteen. So, it's been found years later I received that message from my teacher as he invited me to a meeting. 

Now, in that message, he talked about God. Like always. He said they are holding a meeting where God comes and he is delivering people. The gospel is being spread and he has even cast out devils!

So, honestly, it hit me hard! I mean, I thought he would tell me about it just the moment it started but he was telling me almost after a month had passed. 

Yet I was grateful that I got this invitation and my reply was like, “Why didn't you tell me before?” Haha! 

Though I was excited, there was still that reserved nature within me that told me not to go. But I waited for the next day and got myself ready to join him in the meeting. I didn't know how did I make up my mind. It just happened! I just got ready! 

Now as I went, it started smoothly. I also noticed a girl there who was behaving abnormally, and I remembered what my teacher told me. He also asked me not to be afraid of this all but you see, without the Holy Spirit, controlling emotions go hard.

Anyway, we began praying and soon, tears escaped my eyes. I didn't understand why this happened. Last time I was in a church and the pastor laid his hand on me, I was crying and so happened in the meeting. 

I didn't understand why this happens but now, because my insights are opened, God tells me, “I was really happy to have you in the meeting. I was glad you came. I was waiting for you. I called you.”

In that meeting, my teacher led us with his words and a song was played in the background which I couldn't sing because I only knew of two worship songs for Jesus which I used to sing a lot when there was a lot of pain in my chest and sorrow too heavy to be carried.

I cried but still I wasn't satisfied. I won't say I opened my heart at that time. Such encounters happen but it wasn't with me. 

When I prayed, He touched me. I couldn't feel it, nor was it in my understanding. But I'm able to narrate because God tells me what actually happened when He received me.

I still couldn't cry my heart out and soon, the demons were activated in the same girl who seemed abnormal to me. She was held captive by the devil. I saw her and I saw my teacher who commanded the devil to leave her body in the name of Jesus.

The devil had to obey and leave, but this all left me speechless. I honestly had to comment. 

Not like I didn't believe my teacher when he told me about it. I believed him and wanted to see this happen with my own eyes. He thought I'd be really afraid and maybe faint, but no, it was exciting. 

You know reading in the Bible that the demons that left the boy or the girl will remain words until you see the power of God actually working with your own eyes. I saw it and I was like, “Wow!”

I didn't think such things even existed but they did! And what gripped my attention more was that it was the power of Jesus.

I told you I believed in Jesus with all my heart the very first day my teacher shared the Gospel with me. I knew all these crores of gods are a lie; a scam! Rather, they are demons. But you know, having such evidence that the God you worship is alive, powerful, wonderful in deeds, and awesome in glory will make you boast even more loudly about Him. I was really happy.
