Before this message, I was depressed, lonely, and my weight was beginning to rise. I had tried drugs in high school, but I knew I couldn't live like that for long. In college, I drank & partied. But mainly, I kept running to relationships with people, thinking that if I just found the "right" relationship, that I would be happy & life would be great. I praise God often that He never allowed any of those relationships to be "right" because I can imagine now where I would be if they had. YUCK! I grew up in church. But I've always had questions about the trinity and about the scripture in Revelations that says He will spit you out if you are luke warm. When I was 15, we left the church because of the hypocrisy we saw in the leaders. As a young adult, I went from church to church, trying to find the right church. In the meantime, I was continuing to run after human relationships & continuing to sin. I knew I was sinning. I wanted to stop so bad. But I didn't know how! I would try, and it would work for a while, but I would always end up going back to it. In 2000, I had a baby out of wedlock. I knew I had to turn this around. I started praying and asking God to really know Him. I prayed, that if God was really the Trinity, that He would show me in His word. I studied my Bible & talked with people I regarded as pious, but I could never see it. I still kept trying to find a church...and I still kept running to relationships with people. I thought that, if I could just find a good "Christian" guy, then it would be "right"...wrong!!! In 2002, my mom, Lydia, found Remnant. When she first started telling me about it, I thought it sounded kind of weird. I listened in to a conference call, (this was before webcasts). I didn't understand what Gwen meant when she talked about being a prophet. I thought, "Isn't a prophet someone who can predict the future?" And the 'New Jerusalem' sounded like a compound in Nashville! What did I know?! I told my mom that I didn't hear anything wrong with it, but that the first time she started talking about moving to Nashville, we were going to tie her up and de-tox her. HAHA!!! Anyhow, she kept listening to Remnant services & telling me about it. Finally, about 3 months later, I decided to come check it out, just so my mom would leave me alone about it. Oh My! I loved it! Remnant was exactly what I had been looking for my whole life! They actually opened their Bible & read large sections all together. They discussed what God was doing in their lives. I felt like I finally had "permission" to NOT believe in the trinity, which made the scriptures just come to life! Now I could read the Bible and it made sense and it didn't contradict itself! The best part of all, is that this message thought me HOW to stop my sin! That is so major. In the endless line of other churches I had attended, no one could ever tell me how to stop! Well, needless to say, from that day forward, I never wanted to be anywhere else. Now I really have found the "right" relationship & I know it has to be with God Almighty! And its so exciting to get to know that He never changes. If I am ever down & out these days, I know I am the one that changed, for the worst, & I just need to turn it back around to focusing on finding His will to get back to the peace and the joy. Oh, and by the way, I live in Nashville now...no de-tox necessary, thank you!
