Testimonies from Around the World

When I was 29 years old I became addicted to drugs after my fiance broke up with me and my job was terrible.

Life was so bad I purchased as many drugs as I could in order to commit suicide. As I lay there waiting to die I prayed, “Are you Allah or are you God? Whoever you are, save me. I didn’t think that life could be this hard. People are cruel and insensitive. I am addicted to alcohol and drugs. I know these are bad, but I use them to escape. Please help me if you can hear me, help me. If I deserve hell for killing myself, stop me right now. I want to be happy without being dependent on anything. I have lived far from you and offended you, show me where I made a mistake and teach me how to make a fresh start. I’m about to die God, help me!”

Then I fell asleep. I heard a voice in my dream saying, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

I had no idea what this meant, but sometime later I met a Christian who took out a Bible and showed me the same words I heard in my dream. They were from Matthew 7. As I read, I found peace and Jesus gave me hope. I realized that Jesus is Lord and savior. In a very short time, Jesus gave me healing, hope, and blessings. I got rid of all my addictions and bad habits without any medical support. Jesus saved me, and thanks to the Bible, I now know God very well and know that he is a loving father. I used to not like people, now I love them very much. We are no longer under the control of sin. I have become a new person and I am full of hope.
