Brendan was Healed of Alcohol Addiction

I was homeless at 17-years-old and spent much of the next two years living on the streets, under trees and on the beach. I started living with someone who had a $500 per day ICE addiction. I saw him completely healed of this. I watched him over the next three months and as his life got better while mine got worse and worse until I hit rock bottom. 

I was dependent on alcohol and became violent when I drank. By the time I was 23-years-old, my family gave me up for dead, or thought I’d be in jail before I turned 30. Then there was a particular incident when I made a huge mistake and, when I realised what I had done, all I could think about was the guy who’s life had completely changed. I didn’t know if God was real, but I knew my life needed to change; I needed to change.

I came to a couple of meetings, and then one day decided I wanted to know for myself if God was the answer. Some of the guys at church prayed with me. I didn’t know how to pray or what to say, but I opened my mouth and just spoke in tongues which I now know is the sign of receiving the Holy Spirit. At that point I knew without a doubt that God was real. I was baptised afterwards and my life instantly changed. I was healed of alcohol dependency and the violence left. I was given direction, purpose and hope for my life. 

I have since been healed of chronic liver failure, and seen God heal my daughter, provide for me and my family, and so much more. I now have a life of love, peace, success, and a hope for now and the future.
