Yo!
My name's Armor, I gave my life to GOD on 01/10/08. I was 14 at the time. Before I gave my life to GOD (got saved), I used toswear, rave and have sex on a regular basis. I used to be angry most of the time. My family consisted of Sikhs and Hindus, Iwas born as a Sikh, but I never knew anything about Sikhism. I never really thought about GOD or where I would go when I'ddie, so I just tried to live for the moment. I accepted the fact that life is short, so I tried to take as much advantage ofit as I could, before it was my time to 'swim with the fishes'. I would link girls very often, and get fustrated if we didn't'do a ting'. I was very, VERY impatient. During this time, my parents would fight, argue & seperate alot, but I acted as ifit didn't affect me, 'til this day i'm still not sure whether it did or didn't. I used to love to compete with the peoplearound me, and never wanted to lose an arguement. I used to love 'being bait', the feeling was nice when people wouldapproach me and say things like 'are you Armor?'. I loved being me, I was extremely selfish. I had alot of problems in schoolbecause people didn't like the way I acted or the people I 'jammed' with. My biggest priorities in life were music, schooland a girl who's name shall not be mentioned. Music, because I used it to control my emotions. Whatever emotion I felt that Ishould be feeling, I listened to music that would match it. School, for the plain fact that I wanted to be rich. I didn'tknow what I wanted to become, but I knew I wanted to have nice clothes, cars, houses etc., I was fascinated with living thehigh life. I'm not sure whether it was to show off, or to make myself feel good. And the girl, because she gave me comfortand support in whatever I was doing. We would have sex, whilst secretly I would have sex with other people because deep down,I was very insecure and unconfident. Having sex with other people made me feel better about myself. During all of this time,my biggest fear was to die in pain. I didn't care when I would die. I didn't care where I would die. I just didn't want todie in pain.
My life was pretty much an on-going cycle, until I got invited to a play at a church in Walthamstow. Theplay was entitled 'What They Never Told Ya', it contained a number of different story lines, but the main message was thatthe devil tempts you with so many things that seem fun or interesting, but they leave you with a negative outcome. Forexample, drugs, alcohol, raving, gang culture & many more. I did feel like the play related to me, but at the same time I wasvery resistant. The idea of 'the devil' controlling my life seemed silly at the time. I was getting dropped home afterwatching the play by my cousin, which attended the church, he asked me a number of questions like "did the play relate toyou?" "did it touch you?", I lied through my teeth and said "nah man". The reason for this is because I didn't want to getdrawn in by all this 'church stuff'. It seemed like everyone at the church was brain-washed, although, the play did tacklealot of problems youths in London face everyday. The people performing all seemed pretty normal too. But, I had it set in myhead that everyone that worshiped Jesus was brain-washed. But anyway, as we sat in the car while I lied, my friend which camewith me was asking questions about salvation, things you can and can't do if you give your life to GOD and if he was going toheaven or hell. Amazingly, these were all the questions I was too hard-headed to ask. From that conversation, I knew thatwhen I die, heaven wouldn't be my home. I knew I wasn't right with GOD, but I wasn't ready to be either. I was having toomuch fun having sex, I didn't want to change just yet. I needed to clean up my act before I came to GOD. Then my cousin said"GOD says that you should come to HIM how you are so HE can do the rest. Taste, and see that HE is good." This was a shock tome as I thought that all Christians had to be like 'The Flanders' family in 'The Simpsons'. When I went home that night, Ithought about GOD for a long time, thinking about if HE's worth giving up the things which I enjoy so much. I decided to goto church that following Sunday, the sermon was about being grateful for everything you have. The words were so powerful. Ienjoyed every minute of it, but I still refused to be a part of it. I attended the service on the following Wednesday, whenmy cousin dropped me outside my house in his car, he asked me "do you wanna get right with GOD today?", this was a question Iwas asked around 7 times
during my short time at that church. But this time I replied, "yes". He followed me in a prayer that went something likethis...
Lord, I admit that I am a sinner
and I ask for your forgivesness,
I repent of all my sins.
I believe thatJesus died for me on the cross
to
pay for my sins
and rose again on the third day.
wash me clean with the blood of Jesus
and come into my heart andlive inside me.
I recieve Jesus as my
Lord and saviour.
Amen.
From that day on, GOD blessed me with happiness, humbleness and WONDERFUL people to be around. HE's blessed me with patience.That following week, I let go of the girl I would please my desires with. I hardly ever swear. And I never rave. At first, Ihad no idea who GOD was, but now HE is my father and friend. I even conquered my biggest fear, i'm not scared to die in painanymore, because that's how Jesus died. I pray that people reading this take an interest in GOD. GOD Loves You. Give GOD a chance towork with your life, as HE has so much planned for it. GOD can do so much for you, you just need to
let HIM.
