My experience of pain by enemy
When I was a child in elementary school, other students bullied me because of my nose. They mocked my appearance, but I stayed patient and held on to my faith in God. I learned to ignore their bullying and not let it break me. I held on to my faith for many years. Then, when I was 18 years old, a deaf girl invited me to church. That moment changed everything. I began to rediscover God’s Word—the same Word I had heard as a child, but now I was ready to truly understand it. She and others brought me to different churches, and I felt a deep connection: God’s Word was speaking directly to my life. I started reading the Bible earnestly, seeking to know what God wanted to teach me. One day, I was baptized, and as I received the Holy Spirit, it felt like a bright light was shining on me and filling me from within. Since then, God has transformed my heart and attitude. Now I carry a joy and peace that shines through me—like the positive attitude of Jesus Christ. I have become kinder, friendlier, more respectful, and I value both people and animals much more deeply. God has also opened my eyes to the reality of evil in this world and the existence of spiritual enemies. He has taught me how to protect myself from those who mean harm. Now I understand why the morning star—once a beautiful angel in heaven—was cast down to earth and became Lucifer, known as Satan. Because of that rebellion, evil is present here, and the enemy tries to attack us. But God has shown me that I don’t need to fear the enemy. Their only power is the fear they try to create—and nothing more. The enemy is not as strong as they want me to believe. I’m so grateful that God has given me spiritual armor to protect my mind, heart, and body. He has trained me to stand strong, to resist the devil’s lies, and to ignore the negative and false things people sometimes say. God taught me these things because He knew that when He cast the morning star (Lucifer) out of heaven, that fallen angel would continue trying to deceive and destroy people on earth. But now I am equipped. I know how to stand firm in faith, how to resist the enemy, and how to live in the victory and peace that Jesus has already won for me. I thank God every day for His patience, His guidance, and for turning my pain into strength. He truly turned my life around, and I am forever grateful. May this testimony bless and encourage anyone who reads it. God is real, He sees your struggles, and He is faithful to lead you through them—just as He has led me.
GOD Is my Blessing
GOD has given me the mind of Jesus.
