Krista Moore's Testimony

When I stop and think about where my life is going now, I can see how lost I'd be if Jesus, wouldn't have chosen me. I know he did because in his word, it says something like I have chosen you, you didn't choose me. That just makes me feel so blessed, to think that he has chosen me. To even think that he went through all the things he did. He left his Father in Heaven to take our place, on the cross.

We are His treasure. I think that is really neat, even though we aren't perfect, God, sent Jesus, to come and take our place.  He knew that Jesus, was the only one that could break the chains.

When I do something that God, doesn't approve of, I feel terrible about it. To just think, Jesus, did all this for me and God, sent his only son and I can't even obey his every word. I just pray that I would become that creature in Christ, that he'd have me to be. I want to be pleasing to God, to show Him I am eternally grateful.

Sometimes, I take the smallest things for granted, but when something happens like the lights go out or there's no water, I don't realize how blessed I am to have these things. My point is, we sometimes don't appreciate all the things He gives us. Even if in our minds they seem so small, but He takes them away for a minute, we see that they really aren't small things after all. There are lots of people that don't have a roof over their head and food. I sometimes lose sight of what He has done for me and I get mad because there isn't money to spread around to all the bill collectors. What I seem to forget is that the most important thing is that we have Jesus and a loving God! He is faithful, when we are faithless. The Lord has taught me so much everyday, by His Holy Spirit opening my eyes and in His Word. I've learned a lot about dealing with people, even if it's someone driving me nuts. I have to learn to hand things over to God. 

Some people, don't believe that there is a Heaven or a Hell. I know it's true, because I know God is real. Since I know He's real, He doesn't lie. My first encounter with Him, was when I was born. I know God has a plan for my life and wants to use me.   When I was in my mom's womb, the cord got wrapped around my neck and I barely made it out alive. I was born completely blind and the Lord, gave me my sight back. It's not perfect, but I can see. The doctor, told my mom, that I wouldn't live past five years old. Then I couldn't even sit up by myself or turn over. The Lord, did a great miracle in my life and proved them all wrong. When I got my sight, the doctor, couldn't explain how it happened. He said some how, I am using a part of my brain that people don't normally use. He said it rerouted to the other side and didn't understand how. I have a little hole in my brain, I kept having it checked and finally some liquid filled it and it hasn't changed, which is good. My chest was sunk in when I was little. My mom, was worried about that and the Lord, healed that. I was very skinny, so bad that I looked sickly and I was finally able to gain weight. For anyone to tell me that God, isn't real, I don't buy it because there is no way that this stuff could happen by a fluke. I know God, doesn't lie because all the years that I have been faithless, still He remained faithful! After all that God did for me, I never followed Him. I would go to Sunday school, but I never had a relationship with Him. I really didn't get what they were talking about. I really lived a crazy lifestyle. I remember Mom, would tuck us in every night and say a prayer, but our family never lived our lives for Jesus. Out of all things that went on, I never turned my life over to Him.

When I was somewhere around fourteen, we moved to Southern California. About a year or so later, my cousin, asked my older brother, John, if he wanted to come to a home Bible Study. John, went to it for a couple of weeks. After he had been going, he wanted me to come, so I did. I felt like they judged people because when they questioned me about the Word, they'd try to examine me too much. When my mom and I decided that we wanted to move back up north where we lived before. One of the girls from the study, said, "So, you're not going to follow Jesus, anymore?" I told her, "Just because I'm not going to be there, doesn't mean I can't still follow Him. Jesus is everywhere." I felt really sad how everything turned out because they had turned my two brothers against my mom. My other brother was younger than me and I was very close with them both. So they stayed there and my mom got a boyfriend and I felt like I was alone and had no one. I told God, that I don't want anything to do with Him. Still after that He never let me go, even though I didn't realize it at that time. I tried to fill my void with other crap and no matter what, I felt that something was missing. I started feeling like demons were all around me and I was having nightmares every night. I hated being asleep or awake. Sometimes, I felt like ending it all. I had gave my Christian CDs away to my brothers', that the people from the study gave me. I was very lost. I had remembered that I had taped a copy of one Christian CD and I left it in the van. By the time I got to it, it was messed up, but I still listened to it.

Finally, after a few years, I got to the point where, I would only listen to Christian music. Then my younger brother, Noah came home and we would listen to it together. We got into the wrong things and he was very bitter at God, because of the things that went on at the study. We both went off the deep end at the same time and lost total control. Noah and I both started going online. He wanted to learn how to build web sites and he learned all the HTML codes and he taught me how to build sites too. We both were hardcore wrestling fans at the time. So, we decided to build our own online wrestling federation. That is how I met David. David and I were friends for a year or so until we decided to start an online relationship. I was really against those. Noah, had a few and I thought it was empty. I had strong feelings against those. I know it was the Lord, that brought us together, even though neither of us were following Jesus. We were both rebelling and doing whatever we wanted without having any regard for others. David's cousin, moved in with him for about 6-8 months. He told me, him and his cousin went to the nursing home where their grandma was and they had a preacher that came there and the preacher talked to his cousin. His cousin was/is against God. As the preacher talked to him, Christopher, just rolled his eyes at him and agreed, to shut the preacher up. David, told me this online about how the preacher asked him, if Jesus, was his Lord and savior. At that time, I told David, that Jesus, was mine. Then he said that Jesus, was his too. The thing was he accepted Him, but never read His Word. I really hadn't either. So, we started reading online together. Then finally David, found this room on this voice chat, where someone asked us if we were interested in coming to an online Bible Study. We both agreed to go. We learned a lot from there, but it really didn't quite sink in, until one night we opened a room of our own and someone came in talking lots of weird stuff. I really didn't know hardly any scripture, but I knew enough to figure it out after hearing this guy speak for an hour or two. Then I told David, that we need to go. So, we left and ever since then, we have been reading God's Word. We've grown in the Word a lot since then. What Satan, means for bad, God, means for good. I really do believe that because it's that situation that brought us both to Jesus. Praise the Lord!
