A Simple Testimony to God's Saving Grace
At the age of fourteen and a half, God reached down in mercy and saved
my poor lost soul from an awful pit of sin.
I was attending the Bible Missionary Church in Detroit (actually Wayne),
MI. This particular week I attended their revival services.
Brother Don Bowman was preaching. Though he was a good preacher
(and still is at the time of this writing), I do not remember what he
preached.
My pastor, Brother Daniel Ewald, invited me to pray at the altar. Though I
am sure his words were appropriate, I do not remember what he said.
God Himself spoke to my heart in such tones of love and conviction for
sin, that I could never forget His sweet, unmistakable voice.
I responded by kneeling at the altar in prayer with many tears. Though
I know that I repented and gave my heart to Jesus, I do not remember a word
that I prayed on that most blessed night of my life.
But, this I KNOW: the Lord God of Heaven and earth took away my load of
sin and shame, forgave me, gave me a brand new life in Christ, and made me a
part of His loving family. I have never been the same since that night; nor
would I ever want to be what I had been before I met Jesus.
Yours In Christ,
Martin Overfield
