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.
