Testimony: Over the years, one learns to take up the cross daily to crucify the desires and lusts of selfishness so that we can live more holy lives. Dying to self(self dignity and self reputation) was the hardest one for me. However, I found when you finally die to what others think of you, you are totally free to do God’s will without hesitation.

Testimony: One Bible teacher explained that God allows temptations from the devil to make you strong in that area. Being strong is saying ” NO” in Jesus’ name to that temptation. God always leaves a way to escape temptation but He tests us to see if we love sin more than His laws. The more mature Christians see sin as destruction so they immediately hate the thought of sin and dismiss it out of their mind.

Testimony: All of us are at different levels of Christian maturity. In the Book of Acts, the disciples were ready to give their lives for Jesus. Even today, missionaries are martyred for their faith. Others, living in rich countries find it hard to love other people and to believe in miracles. When I visited a poor country I saw people with great faith in Jesus. A girl had a knee twice the normal size. She came(limping) for prayer believing for a miracle. Right before our eyes Jesus shrunk the swelling and she walked away perfectly well.

Testimony: When someone told me about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, I was afraid of it and therefore avoided asking for it. But I was finally convinced by the scriptures that it was the will of God for all to have it. I took courage and asked for this baptism at the end of a service when the leaders were laying hands on people in prayer. I received it that night and was given a new heavenly prayer language. This gift has been such a blessing to increase my faith as this scripture says. It is so powerful not only because it is God’s gift, but because it increases our faith and makes our faith holy and helps to remove selfishness.
