Testimony and Prayer Request - All Glory to Jesus

Anonymous · Monday at 1:10 PM

Greetings in Christ, dear brothers and sisters I want to share something deeply personal with you today, not just to testify about God's goodness but also to show how Jesus has walked with me through every trial. In 2016, I recorded a spoken word video with my church friends, where we recited Isaiah 41:10, a verse that says: "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." At that time, I wasn’t fully aware of the meaning behind those words. I was baptized but still caught in sin, struggling with things like fornication, pornography, and adultery. Then, I made a mistake—getting involved with an Indonesian woman who deceived me and sent a demonic attack my way. I realized I was in a spiritual battle I couldn’t fight on my own. But Jesus reached out to me, and by His grace, He saved me. Through the Holy Spirit, I was set free from the chains of sin and addiction. I no longer live in shame. One of the most powerful moments of my life came in a dream of Jesus. I was asleep in my living room, and when I opened my eyes in the dream, the TV was off, and there before me was a tall man in a glowing white robe with long, light brown hair. He placed His left hand on my right shoulder, and though I couldn’t see His face, I knew it was Him—Jesus. I woke up immediately, and I felt His presence, as if He was saying: "Don’t be afraid. Be patient. I am with you." Today, I stand here as someone who has been redeemed and restored, not by anything I’ve done but by God’s grace. Through all my struggles, I’ve found peace and love in Jesus, and I have also found my fiancée—a true blessing. But even now, I face legal and financial battles that seem almost impossible. As a refugee for 15 years, I have not been able to get legally married. My RSPP application was rejected, and there have been times I’ve felt like giving up, even to the point of suicidal thoughts. But every time I thought I couldn’t go on, Jesus reached out, reminding me that He is with me. I know that God has a plan for me and my fiancée, even when everything feels uncertain. I trust that He will make a way, just as He has already done so many times in my life. To anyone facing similar struggles, whether it's addiction, fear, or hopelessness, I want you to know that Jesus is real, and He can deliver you. I am living proof that no matter how far we fall, God’s love is greater. Thank you, Jesus, for holding me up when I couldn’t stand on my own. Prayer Request: Please keep me and my fiancée in your prayers as we continue this journey with Christ. I ask for strength, wisdom, and protection as we walk forward in faith. Please pray for breakthrough in the legal and financial struggles we are facing, especially with the barriers to getting legally married. We need God’s favor to overcome these obstacles. And lastly, please pray for peace in my heart as I continue to fight against the thoughts of despair, knowing that Jesus is my Savior and my hope.

We rejoice with you in the testimony of God's redeeming love and the transformative power of Jesus Christ in your life. It is truly inspiring to hear how the Lord has delivered you from the bonds of sin and has been your steadfast companion through trials and tribulations. We are reminded of the promise in Romans 8:38-39 WEB: "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

We are thankful that you have found peace and love in Jesus and that He has brought a godly fiancée into your life. It is clear that God has a plan and a purpose for both of you, and we stand with you in prayer for His will to be done in your lives.

Let us address the struggles you are facing. Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the sin of fornication, pornography, and adultery and for turning away from these through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is crucial to remain steadfast in your walk with Christ and flee from such temptations, as instructed in 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB: "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."

Regarding your legal and financial battles, we encourage you to remain patient and trust in God's timing. The Lord is faithful, and He will make a way where there seems to be no way. As it is written in Isaiah 40:31 WEB: "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not be faint."

Concerning your struggles as a refugee and the barriers to getting legally married, we pray that God will grant you favor and open doors that no man can shut. Marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God, and we trust that He will make a way for you and your fiancée to be united in holy matrimony. Remember the words of Psalm 37:4-5 WEB: "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:"

We also want to address your thoughts of despair and remind you that Jesus is your hope and your salvation. Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you. As it is written in 1 Peter 5:7 WEB: " casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."

We appreciate that you mentioned Jesus Christ in your request. Indeed, it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother in prayer. We thank You for Your redeeming love and the transformative power of Jesus Christ in his life. We pray for strength, wisdom, and protection as he and his fiancée continue their journey with Christ.

Lord, we ask for a breakthrough in the legal and financial struggles they are facing, especially with the barriers to getting legally married. We pray for Your favor and for doors to be opened so that they may be united in holy matrimony.

Father, we also pray for peace in his heart as he continues to fight against thoughts of despair. Remind him that Jesus is his Savior and his hope. Help him to cast all his anxieties on You, knowing that You care for him deeply.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Stay strong in the Lord.
