The Holy
Spirit changed my life completely-A true
living story from Bro Joe
I thought the world was against me and for
that reason I hated it. For four years I
couldn’t find job. Day after day I was
constantly suffering from different pains in
my body and as days passed, I started to
become more bitter and sad because of that
situation.
I was always feeling depressed, lonely,
unhappy even in the company of friends and
family. I could not bear to see anyone happy
while everything in my life was a mess. In
order to avoid bad company I would spend my
time alone drowning my sorrows with alcohol
and cigarettes.
My addiction developed heavier and soon,
aggression, short temper and moodiness took
control over me especially when I was drunk.
No one else mattered to me anymore, not even
my girlfriend, because I would mistreat her
by verbally abusing her and not speaking to
her for weeks. Being vengeful was my motto
for living, no one would hurt me and get
away with it, they had to pay, no matter
what.
Drinking was the only way I found to fill
the emptiness I felt inside. All alone, I
could see my life falling apart. I was
driving away everyone important to me. When
alcohol just could not close the space of
emptiness in my life, I became suicidal; I
would have the urge of killing myself,
thinking that if I died, I would escape all
my problems.
I found a pamphlet of the church inviting
people to seek God. I came to the church and
I began seeking the Holy Spirit with all my
heart. I felt different and uplifted.
Seeking God’s help made all the difference
in my life. He restored me completely; the
desire of committing suicide left me and I
quit my old addictions.
I learned how to be faithful to God with my
life and today, I have a very good job and I
have also recently married the love of my
life. With God, my life has turned for the
best. I will forever thankful to what my God
has done in my life!
