A Soldier for Christ

I have two loves in my life, my daughter here on earth and the lord in the heavens. In September of 2005 the lord Jesus Christ found me and my life has never been the same. Most people don’t believe my testimony of what Jesus has done for me so hold on. I was married for about 5 years when my wife and I divorced. My little girl (Zaria) is and has always meant the world to me so moving alone in a cold apartment lead me into a state of depression. I’ve always felt this empty feeling inside that just could not be filled by money, women or kids. Hey, it’s not like I didn’t try! Around this time I met this woman and got into a relationship that promised to lift me from my depression. Nevertheless we moved in together and surprise surprise it didn’t work out. At this point in time the Lord blessed me! My blessing went by the name of Cynthia. She spoke to me about the Lord in a sweet and warming voice that compelled me to visit her church. There I met the BIGGEST blessing of my life, my pastor and spiritual father Amaury Mella. There the empty feeling was being filled by the Lord Jesus Christ and I could not be happier. Now what happens next is something that impacts most people. My ex-girlfriend (the one I had moved in with) called me about a year and 1/2 after we had broken up and wanted to meet with me. To be honest I really didn’t want to meet with her but I figured that it couldn’t hurt. We met on a Thursday and had dinner together. She then said the one thing that no one wants to hear, I’m HIV positive. At this moment I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. My knees began to buckle and I became nauseous. My world had just ended. Or did it? The first thing I did was get on my knees and prayed. I then felt a strong urge to call my pastor. I called him and when I was unable to get him on the phone I went to my spiritual leader's house (Feliciano) for some comfort. To say the least I didn’t get an ounce of sleep that night and I was more than anxious to go to church the next day. On that day the pastor came up to me during service and told me to go and get myself checked out because the Lord spoke to him. The Lord told him that because I love him and because I submitted myself to him I was cured. He then put his hands on me and I felt that pressure I had on my shoulders lifted up and away. At that point I knew I was cured. On Tuesday I went for an HIV test and sure enough it was negative. The one thing that most people don’t realize about my testimony is that I was not going to die of Aids but of depression. I had just lost what was most important to me, my family. I was in the process of being told that I could not have kids, a wife or a family again. That would have killed me long before anything else.I would like to thank Cynthia for speaking those sweet and warming words that lead me to my pastor Amaury Mella and to my Lord Jesus Christ. I love you and as long as I am alive you will always have someone you can count on and pray with. I am collecting testimonies to post as blogs. If you have a testimony that you would like to share please feel free to e-mail it to me. We must show the world that there is a God that cures, prospers and loves and that it’s not just something you read about or see in movies. God Bless!
