HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR READING DEAR FRIEND IN CHRIST!
I JUST FELT LED TO SHARE MY TESTEMONY WITH YOU TODAY. I WAS LIKE MANY OTHER KIDS RAISED IN A NON CHRISTIAN HOME AND ARE ALSO TODAY THE ONLY BELIEVER IN MY FAMILY.

EVEN SO I WENT TO SUNDAY SCHOOL AS A CHILD AND WHEN I WAS 11 OF AGE I INVITED JESUS INTO MY HEART IN A PENTECOSTAL SUNDAY SCHOOL IN OSLO, THE CAPITAL OF NORWAY. I WAS INVITED TO A REGULAR MEETING BECAUSE IT WAS A MISSIONARY THAT WOULD TELL ABOUT HER WORK IN INDIA WHO WOULD ATTEND. NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT SPEAKING IN TONGUES SO WHEN THAT HAPPENED I BECAME SCARED AND NEVER WENT BACK.

I WAS GOING A DESERT WALK WITH CHRIST FOR 1 YR BUT THEN I LET GO OF JESUS HAND AND THEN MY PROBLEMS REALLY STARTED.

THE FIRST WAS THAT "SUDDENLY" I MET A LOT OF DIFFERENT MEN WHO ALL LIKED LITTLE GIRLS AND WAS SEXUALLY ABUSED. THEN I START TO DRINK AT AGE 14, SMOKE CANNABIS AT AGE 15, USING AMFETHAMIN AT AGE 16, GOT MY FIRST CHILD AT AGE 17, MY MUM HAD TO TAKE CARE OF HER FROM SHE WAS 2,5-3 YRS OLD CAUSE I WAS NOT CAPEABLE.

WENT FROM THAT INTO DRINKING HEAVELY AND WAS IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP, BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY ABUSED, I WOULD NOT SURVIVED IF I DID NOT HAVE THE STRENGHT TO WALK OUT AFTER 2,5 YR.

THEN I WENT TO SIX WEEKS REHAB WHERE I MET MY HUSBAND AND GOT MY SECOND DAUGHTER AT AGE 24 AND WAS SOBER FOR 3 YRS AND MARRIED FOR 1 YR.

STARTED TO USE DRUGS AGAIN AND MY DAUGHTER WENT TO LIVE WITH HER FATHER AND DID NOT HAVING A SAFE CHILDHOOD THERE EITHER AS I LEARN WHEN SHE WAS GROWN. I WAS USING HEROIN AND WAS NOT A GOOD MOTHER FIGURE.

I ALMOST DIED FROM SEVERAL OVERDOSES BUT GOD WANTED IT DIFFERENT. I WAS PUT ON METHADON AT LAST BY MY DOCTOR WHEN HE SAW WHAT SHAPE I WAS IN, 42 KILO JUST SKIN AND BONE. WHEN I USE METHADONE FOR SOME YRS I GOT DEPRESSED AND WANTED TO KILL MY SELF. ON MY WAY OUT TO DO THAT ON A COLD JANUARY DAY IN 2004, I WAS DRAGGED INSIDE TO A PENTECOSTAL MEETING FROM A FORCE I KNOW TODAY WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE FUNNY THING OF IT ALL IS THAT WHERE I WAS DRAGGED IN WAS THE SAME CHURCH WHERE I RAN FROM AS A CHILD.

WELL I CAME BACK TO THE LORD IN 2004 BUT I DID NOT HAVE THE STRENGHT TO QUIT METHADON OR MY SUBSCRIBED PILLS, NERVEPILLS FROM MY DOCTOR 300 A MONTH AND A LOT OF CANNABIS DAILY.

JESUS DEALT WITH ME DAILY AND ONE DAY I SAID ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND WENT TO REHAB. I WAS IN CHRISTIAN REHAB FOR 10 MONTHS AND JUST USE THAT TIME TO SOAK INTO HIS PRESENCE AND HAD NO ABSTINENSES WHAT SO EVER. PRAISE THE LORD, HE DOES MIRACLES TODAY. I HAVE NOW BEEN SOBER TOTALLY COMMITTED TO THE WORK OF THE LORD SINCE OCTOBER 2006. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED YOU CAN SEE WHERE I WENT

HEAVENLY FATHER I PRAISE YOUR HOLY NAME FOR YOU ARE THE REDEEMER OF MY SOUL, MY SAVIOUR AND MY DELIVERER. I PRAY THAT THIS TESEMONY WILL BLESS SOMEONE TODAY. AMEN

I was as many others trying to avoid my calling. Last year about this time I had to get down on my knees and say to the Lord that ok I will accept my calling from you if you gives me a rehma word to stand firm on. And yes He did, the faithful one gave me this verse:
Luke 4,18
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed.

How can He use me for this?
Because I know how it is to walk without Jesus in darkness because I was backsliden for to many yrs.

Because I know how it is to be in captivity cause I have been in jail and been in captivity in a relationship.

Because recovery sight to the blind also means spiritually and I was blind but now I see, halleluja.

Because I was oppressed by the devil in drugs for 32 yrs and I am now clean and free, my redeemer lives!
