Ben Received Proof of God in His Life

I had read stories of Jesus Christ in the Bible, but they were 2,000 years old. One day I bumped into someone I knew, who told me she had been instantly healed of a heroin addiction by the power of Jesus Christ. I thought that if Jesus was working today, then that was the proof I needed of the existence of God. She didn’t try to sell me her ideas on religion, but she had a real confidence in Jesus Christ, and said to me to go to Him, and ask for the proof I wanted.

We went down to the beach that night, and, while she was praying, I simply said to God I wanted the truth, in whatever form it was in. I instantly received the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues, a miracle written in the Bible, and experienced by the followers of Christ. In a moment of time, I knew the presence of God, of Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit. I went to a Revival Fellowship meeting with her 2 days later and got baptised under the water just as they all did in the Bible.

That was in 1979, and each day since has been an amazing journey of discovery into God’s ways and His incredible grace and love.
