I have been Born Again since March 27TH, 1982. I met Jesus at 3AM. in my bedroom. My friend gave me a book called Beyond Death's Doors by DR. Maurice Rawlings and after reading that and having a experience which I would call a hell experience I came to Know Christ. I like to call this my Damascus Road experience. My friend went to church(she is out now too) she convinced me that I needed to be in a church setting so I could grow. Well I never fit in it seemed and I went church hopping looking to see where Marjorie would fit. I spent hundreds of dollars on healing programs that taught me that I had generational curses, how to programs etc. now that I look at it,it is nonsense as Christ paid for all my redemption from sin ,curses and whatever. Of course I did the tithe thing so my finances would not be cursed and so on and so on. Well I started getting discouraged with it all and coming out of church feeling depressed.Well the last church I went to there was a incident to which I was involved and the Pastor needed to correct this situation and he didn't and told me that I misinterpreted the situation. Well I stayed for a couple of weeks holding to the belief that the situation would be corrected. I started to be treated with contempt and ostracized. So I was driving home from the last pot-luck there at that church and the Lord spoke to me about leaving that church. I then asked Jesus where do I go now? He said nowhere but stay home and learn from me. Well that's been 5 years now and I am so free and I know Jesus and I am following Him as He leads me. Being led by the Holy Ghost and having the freedom to minister to anyone the Lord puts in my path is great. Not answering to a man who says whether or not I am qualified to be in ministry. What a crock of crap that is. We are all priests of God and ambassadors of Christ. What a insult that was to me knowing that Christ is in me and I am dwelling in Him. I am glad I am an outie, free believer or called out one.I have been told by some of my old church friends that I left because I got hurt and I should get over it. I told these friends that if that was the case I would have left years ago.I also said to them that I know you don't understand this but Jesus called me out of the organized church. I also have been called a backslider and lone ranger. And that I would fall into error. I have been called a heretic also. I feel so privileged. I live in Oshawa,Ontario, Canada I am 56 years old and I am single and now retired which means more time for Him. New adventures are awaiting and I am excited aboout my life now especially now that I am free in Jesus. Thankyou for reading my escape into freedom from religion.
