04/29/2025 I remember the most wonderful times when I first came to the Lord. I was so glad to share with whomever I could that Jesus was my way to God, and that God’s wrath was met for me, because of what Jesus had done. It was obvious to me that telling others was a sure sign of heaven itself, and that the idea of “testifying” was a very basic attribute of what would be heaven.

In fact, it felt like “heaven” for me to tell people, and when I did, I could feel God’s glory on my face. “Those who look to Him are radiant. Their faces are never covered with shame” (Psalms 34:5). I think Jesus liked it, too, because I would also feel a rush in the Holy Spirit; something like an excitation, or “a knowing “that God was pleased. It was almost like I was hyper-happy! I was really glad to have God’s seal of approval because I could actually sense that I was His child. Previously, I had always tried to “share my testimony” out of guilt, or knowing that I really felt far from God, but wanted others to think I was close to God. It was hard for me to be “happy in the Lord” before being born again, because for 20ish years I had wanted a connection with Him that I didn’t feel I had.

I didn’t have much to blog about in this other than I was happy to remember happy times, and want to always stay in a place of “heaven”. I will always believe that Jesus’ presence is among the testimony of His saints. The Kingdom of God is the Holy Spirit Reigning in the Hearts of Men.
