How God Saved Me
Hi I'm Miss DollieCrave and I'm the owner and manager of Dolliecrave.com. The following you are about to read is real and part of my experience and "encounter" with God.
When I was just a kid, I have a wonderful aunt whom will tell me stories from the bible. I recalled looking forward to her stories every week and I was curious about this Jesus Christ she had been telling me about. However growing up as a teenager, the last thing I wanted to get involved in was anything to do with Church. I was very hostile towards her and everytime she called me, I didn't want to talk to her.
Back then, God had no place in my life, and this aunt of mine was very persistent. To make things worst, my parents were violently against it. I recalled when I was just a kid, my mom yelled at me saying she will disown me because I lied to her about a christian story book my aunt had secretly bought for me. Nevertheless, there were a handful of times I went to church unwillingly only out of respect for my aunt, and I was culture shocked. I can't say I agree with my auntie's "hard sell" approach, but now I see her heart was at the right place.
In about November 2001, I woke up from a frightening dream. I'll briefly explain to you that the dream I've dreamt was a scenario written in the Revelation from the Bible, and the weird thing was, I had not even read the bible, let alone know what Revelation, the comming of Christ is about. Just briefly, I dreamt that all the christians in the world was being taken away and I was left back on earth which was in a terrible state. The sky was blood red, people were walking around aimlessly like zombies, my entire house was filled with darkness. I called my aunt and I told her to save me and all she said was, "I can't save you". Next thing I knew was I was running in the streets trying to find people who aren't in a trance. The christians in my family and my siblings were gone, and my parents were left behind in a zombie state. I've never felt such a state of hopelessness and despair.
When I finally woke up, I called my aunt and told her about my dream. She told me I've dreamt something similar to what the Revelation had said, God's people would be raptured and the Anti Christ will take over the world. I said, "Okay, lets get me to this Jesus." Till today, I could see how God had tried to win my heart, even in my sleep LOL.
I finally attended church for the first time in my life, this time on my free will. I was actually hungry to know the truth and for no reason I could not stop crying when the worship begun. It was extremely embarrassing and unexplainable at that time. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. Til today, I'm one of those people who can't stop crying during worship in church. To describe this feeling I get during every worship would be similar to "intense gratefulness" and wonder.
I would also like to add that after accepting Christ, life is not always smooth sailing. It's important to know that the blood of Jesus washes all our sins the moment of accepting Jesus, once and for all. Though we may sin, we will never lose our salvation. Our salvation and righteousness was given freely and Jesus paid the price for it. The holy spirit convicts us of our righteousness(John 16:8-11). We did not earn it by our own works, thus will never lose it. It is a gift, by God's grace. If the blood of bulls and goats could cover the sins of the jewish people for one year, what more can the blood of Jesus do?
I could go on all day but I just wanna say, my Jesus is amazing. He is so full of love and acceptance, He will never reject anyone who come to Him. He knows what you are like and loves you anyway. Jesus will never force you to do anything you do not want, unlike some of us LOL. It's a shame many of us are unable to show the world how amazing Jesus Christ is, you just have to experience him yourself. Most important of all, for God so loved the world that He had given His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us, that who so ever believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
