Testimony of A Completed Jew

Testimony of a Completed Jew

Deliverance

Once we are saved, living for God is not always as easy as one might expect. Our problems do not suddenly disappear, but God gives us an ability, which we did not have before we were saved, to withstand adversity and resist temptation. When we first come to God, He does not necessarily deliver us from all of our habits and fears immediately. While some people do receive total deliverance the moment they experience the baptism of the Holy Spirit, others go through periods of time – sometimes months or years – when they struggle to overcome them.

At the time of my conversion, I had been dealing with a number of emotional problems, including depression and codependency. During the first several years of my walk with God, there were many times when I felt isolated and alone, and the pain seemed unbearable. But, God was teaching me to rely solely on Him. My friends were not always reliable. Friendships were not always what I thought they were. I learned that Jesus is our only Friend who is always there when we need Him, even when all we need is someone just to talk to. He always understands exactly what we’re going through. He never condemns us, but will convict us or chastise us whenever we need it. He is always right and never wrong.

God was healing me emotionally, He was also strengthening me spiritually and increasing my faith. He bestowed on me the gift of tongues. This is an awesome experience, and not to be confused with the initial tongues spoken at the time of Holy Ghost baptism. I had been praying in tongues regularly for several years before receiving this gift. God would speak to me in His “still small voice,” reassuring me of His love for me and His omnipresence in my life. Even when I can’t feel His presence, I know He’s always there!

Summary

God takes broken vessels and fixes them, and then uses those who are willing to serve Him. I was once lost in spiritual oblivion, but God saw my hungry heart, and He drew me to Him. I am complete in Him – a “completed Jew.” I have experienced Pentecost the same way the 120 Jews in the Upper Room experienced it when the Holy Ghost was first poured out, fulfilling Joel’s prophecy, “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:” (Joel 2:28).

Have you experienced your personal Pentecost?
