read my answer, to an atheists, who asked, at Yahoo, "are you obsessed with Jesus".
>>>>>>>>>>
My answer to her: ... Oh, Hon, ... You truly should know what I went through, while I was in the SEEKING mode; full of such desire for the power of God, to be in my life; that it seemed I could not live without it; if you only knew the days and nights, when I could think of nothing, but desiring to really KNOW him, in whom I had believed!
If only you could know the intense, driving, hunger, obsession, could-think- of- nothing else, total enveloped in longing, that I went through, while waiting and hope to find the baptism of the Holy Ghost; not even knowing what it was that I wanted, for I had no knowledge of its truth; having been taught by false preachers, that it was not of God, but was satanic.
But I loved God; so if it was of Satan, WHY, WHY am I sick with love; sick with longing for it?
No, it could not be of the devil. For I KNOW I am a clean-living, loving god, person. So I go on for almost a year, sick of love, sick with longing, thinking of this day and night. The desire....tooooo great for anything to ever satisfy.
BUT, finally the day came; May 31, 1964. finally, God sent this great experience to me. Baptized me into the body of Christ.
It was much, much more than I had imagined. It did much more than satisfy my longing; my hunger; my great need.
It was love, beyond human words to explain.
So am I now obsessed with the one who gave me this glory?
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT. I am now 73 years old, and it only gets sweeter day by day. I live it, talk it, breath it; long for more, more, more about Jesus.
He is my LIFE, MY LOVE, MY GLORY, AND MY HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE IN BLISSFUL JOY.
Thanks for asking, girl.
Thanks for giving me this opportunity to testify.
