My name is Louise Hall from South Africa Gauteng Benoni,
I would like to share my story as I feel it is relevant, and I know the Lord wants me to share it with all of you, at the time when this took place I did not fully realize what had actually happened to me, not until years later.
I was with my first boyfriend Barend and we were both doing drugs and not realising the consequences of our actions. This particular night was different, we each had acid( which is known as candy) but for some reason we had a bad trip the whole night, I kept slipping in and
out of different mind sets, the one minute everything around me would be beautiful and colorful and the next moment everything seemed to be ugly and I sensed such an evil presence it was the most incredible feeling ever, this carried on the whole night into the early hours of the morning.
until it seemed like I had lost total control over my mind and could not control my mind, it felt like my mind was racing at such a speed I could not bring it into control again and I knew I was so to speak losing my mind, I ran to the bedroom and just held my head in my hands and closed my eyes and it was like my mind was racing at such a speed, I became scared and cried out to Barend, he then said we should take a walk outside for some fresh air, this was already 6am the next morning. we went for a walk, until we came to an open piece of field. I then stopped and told him I don't feel well and I know something is very wrong, we sat down and I layed my head on his lap and told him to please start praying for me , I felt like death was living in me, it was awkward and I had a lot of fear, I then said these words, " I am slipping away,I am going now' I had no control over what was happening I felt my whole body go numb, then next thing I felt myself go down into complete darkness, and as i was descending further and further into this dense darkness I heard Barend praying, but it sounded like he was a million miles away, and I could barely hear him, he was pleading with God on my behalf.
The next moment I was pulled back again into my body and I sat up, we both looked at each other in amazement and we felt an awesome presence that surrounded us, we could sense a very strong
presence of another being, it felt like Jesus himself was standing there, the whole place lit up and for a moment it felt like he looked at me and paused for a minute, reconsidering and then decided to give me another chance. it was an amazing experience. It felt like God looked ahead in time and saw what he had in store for me and at that moment he just poured out his love and grace and mercy upon me. I knew that I knew it was him, and that he gave me a second chance.
Unfortunately I did not turn to Christ immediately, but I knew the hand of God was on my life for years after that.until I gave my life over to Christ Jesus completely, and was born again. We can not go through life thinking that oh tomorrow I will change and give my heart to the Lord, we tend to think that we have so much time in which to make our lives right with the Lord, but the word of God says, "Today is the day of salvation'' there are millions of people dying daily and going to hell, i have never shared my testimony up until now, yet i know if Gods mercy was not there at that time, I would of been doomed and my portion would of been hell. The sad part is not everyone gets a second chance, they die unexpectedly and find themselves in Hell. Many people have heard the truth about Jesus, and yes they believe he was a great healer and some even believe that he is the son of God but are not willing to make a commitment to him, repent from there wicked ways and turn to him, cause its our sin that separate's us from Jesus. He did not come to this earth and die on that cross in vain, he had a purpose, and his purpose was to reconcile man to God through his death
and resurrection at the cross, its his blood that cleanses us from all our sin and inequity. We need to search our hearts, even if you don't believe in heaven and hell, the choice is yours, but do yourself a favour take the bible and ask the lord to reveal himself to you through the scriptures. Don't shrug your shoulders and say oh well, I l don't believe that God could put people in hell, the fact is Yes God is a merciful God and Just in all his ways, he gave us his son Jesus in order for us not to perish, but have eternal life with him in heaven, but we put ourselves in hell by the choices we make and the road we choose to walk.
Don't put it off until tomorrow as tomorrow might never come, "you have to be born again"
CHOOSE LIFE AND NOT DEATH
