The Truth... What is it?





Another Special Life in Christ

These testimony lives are not stories of "role models". Jesus is the role model!
These are lives wonderfully touched & changed by Jesus!

 

Jesse Klassen courageously offers how Jesus saves and prayer delivers:


"I'm a 23 year old single male [born about 1979]; and I live in Tillsonburg, Ontario, Canada.  I started doing drugs and alcohol at the age of 15. Somehow I could always hear the Holy Spirit calling to me, but I always ignored His outstretched, loving arms...until I had suffered from depression for two years. I then asked our Father for help. I said, 'Whatever you must do, no matter how unpleasant or painful it is for me, do what it takes that I would have victory.'

"A few weeks later, I spent a day drinking with some friends. We were driving around when I got into an accident. In a panic, I told a friend to get rid of the car; and I reported it stolen. But the police suspected a foul, somehow  knowing that I was drunk. So after I had been investigated, I was charged with fraud, public mischief, and obstructing the police. I had four previous charges against me, therefore I was facing the thought of going to jail for a long time. This was a horrifying thought to me!!

"I had lost my car, my money would be gone making retribution to the insurance company; and now I was going to loose my job. I didn't want to live anymore. I could still feel the Lord calling to me, so, desperate,  I surrendered and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior.

"For the next 7 months I spent my time studying God's word; and, while I was learning, my depression seem to diminish. I then stopped drinking and doing drugs, and also stopped hanging out with my old friends. When it was time for the trial, I prayed that the Lord would somehow deliver me from prison. Although my lawyer and the prosecutor were telling me I was going to jail, I knew from reading His word that Jesus had the power to rescue me.

"And He did!! I was sentenced to 9 months of house arrest. No one could believe my 'luck'. I was told that this judge hadn't given anyone house arrest in the last two years because of public opposition. My trial took place in Tillsonburg, and I guess they would keep a public record of my trial there. Now I could keep my job and start all over.

"It has now been 8 months since I was charged, and I have saved up close to $15000 (and I'm also trying to quit smoking). I'm ready to start a new life with Jesus. Its sad that God had to allow chastisement in order for me to see the light. But now I am more blessed than ever."
