Testimony - Amar Singh - How he received true love and peace in Jesus, and Jesus changed his live

Praise the Lord to all of you who are reading my testimony.

I came to know Lord Jesus Christ almost 3 years before (in the year of 2006). But in true manner I believed in Him 1 & half year back. It was not coincidence that I came to know about Him, but it was already planned before I was conceived in my mother’s womb. Here in this testimony I will share a little bit of my life like how I was living my life in filth and how I am living my life in Jesus Christ.

From my childhood I was not serious about my life, I never paid respect to parents and to the elders even. I used to follow girls for making them friends, it became like a hobby for me, me and my friends used to follow them and tried to score them, sometimes we just did that like bird watching. All the day I used to do these nasty things. As I grew up this habit also grew in me. In my school life I did many bad things, it was a entertaining part of my life where life started to spoiled.

After completing 10th (secondary standard) I caught into several bad habits, like I used to smoke, drink, go for fighting with other guys, used to use abusive words, and all my habits were totally rotten. I used feel pride because of those habits because it is most common among teenagers. After few months when I completed 10th standard one of my good friends said to me: “bro, lets come to a place where you life will be totally changed” and I thought and told him “what kind of place it is? Are we going to make friendship with any girl there?” then he replied: “Shall we go for prayer meeting?” I said “yes”. After that we went in that prayer meeting.

But I was thinking “How can my Life be changed through Prayers?”

At that very time my Hair were very long, I didn’t take hair cut from last 2 years. As I told earlier I used to fight with other guys also and also I was getting indulged in such kind of activities. My friends used to say "Come with us and Fight with someone in favor of us, because you will help us as well as your presence will be effective, because of my long hairs and don type of looks.

And I was always ready for my friends. My parents used to scold me because of my looks and my lifestyle, but I never respected then. My father always asked me to get a haircut and he used to say "Police will imprison you because of your looks, but I didn't care about that. My father also used to say my friends that take money (how much you want) if u want but please do something so that my son gets a haircut. But that plan also did not work. So life was moving on with same lifestyle.

Now here’s a catch, I went for prayer that day, it was good, even I felt good there, the pastor prayed for me and when I came home after the prayer, my heart said I should get a haircut. The urge was so strong that immediately I went for haircut.
Then after I reached my home my parents saw me and they were shocked...
They said what happen? How it is possible? How did u get a haircut?? Then I told parents that today I went for prayer with my friend and this is the effect of prayer that I am feeling good, there they prayed for me and the result is here.
Then it was a turning point for me, life started to change and I used to feel it. But there was something still lacking.I used to go to prayer with my friend, but at the same time I used to worship also, means I was believing in Jesus and at the same time I was having faith in same old faith. I was living in duality. There was 2 faiths in my life to follow. I’ve always been taught that all Gods and Goddesses are here in this world and all ways are same and even their teachings are same, this I used to believe, it doesn't matter if its Ram , Sai, Hanuman, Jesus Christ or other 33 crores God and Goddesses.

But one day I thought about one God who created the world and came in flesh on earth and he died for our sins and after 3 days he rose again (these things were told by that pastor where I went for prayer). He loves us, and if we repent of our sins and believe in Jesus then we will be saved from the slavery of sin. No one died for our sins, and Hanuman or Ram or 33 crores God and Goddesses /Allah, and all others prophets/messengers did not die for our sins and they all are human beings (if they existed). So I came to one conclusion that there should be one way, one name by which I can be saved. But I didn’t pay attention to that thought, because I used to feel good and life was moving ahead.

Now here’s another catch, when I used to go in prayers (also used to follow same old faith) one bad habit was also there in my life and that was to looking for girlfriend and bird watching. I was searching for true love in girls. (But I didn’t know that only God can love us truly and in Jesus He expressed His love for us). One fine day, I was chatting on internet and at the same time I was searching for a girl by changing rooms in yahoo messenger. Suddenly I found one id of a girl, I started chatting with her. Then chatting went nice, that very hour we exchanged each other’s cell number. And she said me to meet. After 2 days I went to meet her. And when I met her I came to know that she is not a girl, but she was a lady (she was married having 2 children, one boy and one girl, they were of nearly my age), but at that time, still I was very happy, like I was on the moon. Suddenly I felt in love with her. Our relationship grew and it went on for 2 years. That time I was doing my own business of property dealing, it was going bad, but in this situation I used to help my girlfriend (that lady) whenever she asked for. But God created such situations that she left me and the day she left me I got peace and money, it was a sign that she was not good for me. So I also decided to leave her. Finally relationship broke.

After that I used to think that what I am doing, nothing is going good with me, and again I felt like empty. Then I remembered one thing said by a pastor (when I started to go for prayer meetings): “If you will give your life to Jesus then you will know real love and real life” I felt like this is true and this is what I must do. I did so, and I gave my life to Jesus (means I believed him firmly that only He can save me), after that I realized what I was doing; I was doing things so shameful, worshipping idols. Jesus cleansed me and filled my heart with love, joy and peace. And finally I came to the point that there are many ways lead to hell but there is only one way which leads to heaven and heavenly father, and the way is Jesus Christ. From that very day I am living a happy life, my family knows each and everything about me and they even support me.

Day by day, I used to grow more in Christ Jesus, and received true love and peace and love, and moreover the assurance of salvation. Now when I think about my past life, I think I was a sinner saved by His grace and blood, came to know the truth of life, and my family is happy that I am a Christian because its not about any religion it is a relationship, a relationship with only true God Jesus Christ, Praise Jesus.
Now my life is for Him, I want to do more and more work for Him, I want to tell about Jesus Christ to many, because I want to people to be saved, I want to share love, peace and joy which I received with people.

Praise the LORD

Testimony - Divanshu Sandhu - How his mother was healed and how he was transformed by Jesus...

Let me tell you about me, what I was and what I am now.

I was born in a Punjabi family. I didn't know what the purpose of my life on earth was. I was thinking that I born as a human being and so I have to do that things which all human being do. Things like spending 25 years of my life studying and then getting a good job, getting married, having a family, and then retiring and that’s it! Of course along the way giving some time to God was also part of the plan! This is what I used to think about life and the purpose of human beings on earth.


The best thing that ever happened to me occurred in the middle of 2006, when I met with a lady named Sungeeta Jain at PVR Priyas (it is a public market place, usually crowded). She said "Shall I pray for you." I replied, "Ok, Do pray!!!" (I would like to share something before moving further in this story.


In the year 2006, my mother felt sick, she was suffering from spinal cord injury. Whole family was in disturbance because of her sickness, we went for medical treatment which went on for few months, but mother didn’t get well. And few months after we came to know that she has gone through a severe injury in spinal cord. So we consulted doctors, they told us that only treatment is operation and they warned us because it is a serious case and operation success ratio is less. So they were telling us to take a risk, but we all were shocked and in tension whether to take risk or not, because if we take risk then according to doctors we could lose my mother. It was a dirty phase in our life, all family members were tensed because of my mother.


Then one fine day my father gave me few papers (those papers were testimony of Sungeeta didi). I thought that they are like wasted because in India people used such tricks fool off people (like people will give you a pamphlet and in the end of that pamphlet you will find written – make 100/200/500/1000 copies of this pamphlet and distribute among people then you will be blessed, your life will be fine, your barren business will groom up otherwise you will be cursed). So I told my father it is of no use. Then I thought lets read, I went through it, my father also told me that this is a story of a lady – Sungeeta Jain, she prays for people. So I told my father to try her also. We went to Sungeeta didi for prayers, she prays for people PVR Priyas market place. 1st time I didn’t go, but my mom felt relaxed and she was just feeling better. So she kept going there with sister and father to her for prayers. God healed my mom through continuous prayer done by Sungeeta Jain. Praise God. Till now she don’t have that problem or any problem.


One day, my mom told me to go with her, I went there, and I met Sungeeta didi. There people were coming to didi for prayers. I knew a little bit about what kind of prayer she was doing there. After sometime she asked me: “Shall I pray for you!” I felt confused, but after thinking I said, "Yeah, pray for me." She asked, "For what" Then I replied, "For my well being." So she began praying for me and as she did, I felt something which I had never felt before. Something supernaturally touched me. It felt like something went inside me!


After this short and amazing prayer she invited all of us to come to the church, I went and I started to go to church regularly. I wanted to know more and more about Jesus and I wanted to know why this strange thing had happened to me. I was curious to know about that super natural experience that what it is. So it was the thing that induced me towards Jesus. Slowly but very soon I began to know about my Jesus that He gave His life for me, He was mocked, insulted, rejected, spitted, faced lashes, and He faced the world's worst behavior just to forgive my sin, just to make me a sinless man; without thinking I believe in Him or not He was and is always ready to forgive me. This is the unconditional love of my Jesus.


Very soon a bible verse changed my life and that is John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but has everlasting life." Actually I believed that Bible is true and from this verse I knew about Jesus' love through His sacrifice He did for me, for all. How much love God showed to this world that He sacrificed his only begotten son! This is the love, true and awesome love He does. Jesus said in John 9:14 - "But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.".


After believing in Christ, I witnessed many miracles in my life and in the life of many. So my dear friends I would also like to share some of my testimonies which happened to me; when I was in the beginning of my teens I was thinking why God gave me not a good face and why nobody respect me and why nobody cares for me and I felt lonely. I used to think in pessimistic way. But when I realized the love of God, it changed me. This attitude completely changed. Now what I am - If you remember earlier I said I felt God did not give me a good face and today my friends and every new people called me you are looking like a famous model and they also say that try in modeling industry, you can become a good model. Wherever I go in my family they show respect to me, because they all knew I believe in Jesus. Everyone care about me even my family proudly say to everyone that my son prays for people and he is walking on a right path and he is not like other guys of his age. Moreover my childhood friends used to say - "Divanshu! You are totally changed now." Like before I used to use many abusive words in my language and now those kinds of words never come to my tongue; my dear friends you know how all these things happened just because of my Jesus. He transformed my life, He changed the way of living of the life, He lifted me up from nothing.

Now I am a child of God. I just want to say that just give one chance to him in your life because Bible says in Philippians 1:11 - "Your lives will be filled with the truly good qualities which only Jesus Christ can produce, for the glory and praise of God".


Praise God that He changed my life, saved me and loved me. Praise God for all the word done.

God bless you.
