My faith

Seeking the truth
In my pursuit of peace I first came across the meditation technique called TM, which was initiated by the indian guru Maharishi Yogi.This led me unvoluntarily into eastern religions. For some years I became a little peculiar, influenced by what I found reading books by these so called "teachers of wisdom".When I was 24 I had a period of strong fear of death. For a brief time I also became interested in Scientology, taking some courses,but all along I felt that something wasn't right with them. When I finally received Jesus and got saved I was very glad that I never let the scientologists use my name for their purposes, which they wanted to. They very often use names of celebrities to draw people to their "church".
Finding salvation
I became a Christian, saved, born again,at a beach in Mallorca Spain, in august of 1985. I had then been reading the bible for 3-4 years and was drawn closer and closer to Jesus. Not that I entirely understood what was going on, but I became more and more desperate in my longing for a real and profound change of my life. I often prayed to God, and he started to send christians in my path. The word of God, the Bible,and the prayers of christians was essential for my road to salvation.My life was radically changed from that moment at the beach of Magaluf when I in my solitude said yes to Jesus as my own personal Saviour.

Rivers of living water
Jesus says in Joh 7:38, "He who believes in Me,....,out of his heart will flow rivers of living water".In Joh 4:13-14 Jesus says:" Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life".
This is what happened to me.I got a new fresh life on the inside.All the old was wiped away and I became pure like a newborn baby.My sins, my debt was washed away, I was forgiven and free! It was so wonderful.
It's now 18 years ago and it's still working and getting better and better. The more you walk with God, the more you get to know Him and learn to trust Him. He always shows His goodness and His faithfulness.

How to get saved
If you want to get saved, pray this prayer from a sincere heart:
"I thank you Jesus that you died and was resurrected for me. I thank you that you took all of my sins on the cross.I recieve you now as my personal saviour. I thank you for forgiving me and cleansing me from all sin. Jesus I want you to be my Lord. Thank you that I now belong to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life.Thank you heavenly Father that I am now your child. Amen! "
