February 2019, I chose to attend church because I needed more social interaction. I was going to church every week then, but I was not living as I should. I was a sinner. One "normal" Sunday, evangelist Griffin came to preach about God's love. At the end of the service, one had the option of going to the front. At first I didn't want to go. But I knew I had nothing to lose, only to gain, so I went to the front anyway. Evangelist Griffin went by everyone and then spoke to me. I needed the encouraging words then and he spoke right away about what I was struggling/sinning with at the time. It was as if he could read me completely. I remembered being very surprised as I stood there. I experienced God's love so deeply that day and I remember immediately calling my parents and friends to tell them about it.

Several months later (Aug. 18-19, 2019), I have been set free by the name of Jesus of Nazareth' and by the blood of Jesus Christ.

I was blinded by the devil's lies about my identity, but fortunately I was able to see what my true identity is in Jesus Christ. I believed in a certain "love," which is not true love and I wanted to be someone, who I am not.

So when I went forward that one Sunday that Evangelist Griffin preached, that's when God spoke to me through him. God did not look at me for who I was at that time (sinner), but for who I would become in Him (child of the living God). Therefore, I want to encourage and tell each and every one that you do not need to be ashamed of who you were or are at that time. Our Father knows us inside and out. He says: come as you are. That Sunday was the (unnoticed) beginning of my deliverance and witness in Jesus Christ. And I thank God for all he has done in my life and I thank Evangelist Griffin who shares God's word & truth. Praise the Lord Hallelujah

I was blind, but now I can see. I was lost, but now I am found

I was blind, but then I could see again. I literally felt washed clean and light.
