      The Bible Is Not Open To Personal Interpretation

      Sep 23, 2022

      What a beautiful scripture above – this is a solid motivation to meditate on God’s Word. Yet, believe it or not, there are some Christians who deem this Scripture to be an ‘arrogant’ or ‘self-righteous’ declaration. I am so grateful that I’ve had str

      ONE OF THE HARDEST COMMANDMENTS of Jesus, for me, is the order to forgive. Anything. Anyone. Seventy times seven. But how do we do this when whatever wrong we’ve suffered is raw—and our feelings still fresh? Worse yet, probably, when the other person

      Thought this book would be a great compilation of stories but it sounds more like imagination and not the most accurate use of scriptures.

    A NOTE TO READERS

    PREFACE

    …Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you—Hebrews 13:5

    Why do people trust in Jesus Christ?  That is the question Never Forsaken: A Testimony Collection seeks to answer.  It offers insight into the reasons people choose to believe in Christ despite their different backgrounds.  It exists to dispel the idea that God has abandoned mankind and serves as a reminder of the great glory God reveals today.  Christians and non-Christians can benefit from this account of God’s power.

    This publication consists of three sections: Christ’s Freedom, Healing, and Salvation.  Readers that struggle with shame from past sins may take a special interest in the Freedom section.  The Healing section will appeal to readers who wish to increase their faith in God’s willingness and power to cure illness.  People who are curious why Christians believe in Jesus will benefit most by reading testimonies categorized under the Salvation section. 

    I became a Christian over ten years ago after a supernatural experience.  Then I began reading testimonies similar to my own on the internet.  Some testimonies shared on websites were supernaturally amazing.  Others displayed beauty in their simplicity.  One thing was for sure, there was no end to them!

    I considered how marvelous it would be to spotlight a variety of interesting, well-written, and compelling testimonies in a single publication.  I learned through a network of friends about individuals who have spoken their experiences to a limited number of people but never used the written word to communicate them.  I took steps to collect and secure these testimonies.  Once this work was started, it gained a momentum of its own and was quickly assembled into this final work.

    No author, editor, or publisher was paid or compensated in any way for this publication.  Due to the sensitive nature of their testimonies, some authors have chosen to protect their identities by using pen names.  I consider it impossible to verify the testimonies, but their authors claim the events within their own testimonies are factual. Each testimony stands alone in its claim. The views expressed within this publication are that of the individual author and do not reflect the views of the editor or other authors contained herein.  Although most of us attend different churches in various parts of the world, we all agree on this: Jesus is the Way.

    I want to thank our Lord Jesus for revealing His great glory to us.  I also want to thank the authors for permitting me to publish their amazing testimonies and the hundreds who have prayed over this publication.  Finally, I want to thank and bless its readers.  Enjoy! 

    A Great Man of God by Joseph

    Exactly to a month, two years ago I was married to the most amazing, godly beautiful Spirit-filled woman I have ever met.  I married her because she was everything I had ever wanted in a wife and more.  She made me happy; she was what I wanted to be deep inside.  I hid things from her and pretended to be someone I wasn’t to marry her.  I thought I could be who she needed me to be.  I used my gifts and talents to cause her to fall in
