Journey with Jesus;
"No one is born an atheist. People are influenced by trauma or may have hardened hearts, leading them to believe there can't be a God due to their experiences. But that's not you! Welcome to Mervin and Eloise's blog. You are reading this because you believe in the Lord Jesus. You are either ready or have already been on a journey of discovering your true identity."
I will begin with a bold statement: Your true identity is found in who God intended you to be before your parents' choices, the influence of the world, and religion shaped you. I believe this because there is nothing new under the sun. Purity was a gift from God at the beginning of creation. Adam and Eve did not experience hurt before they were deceived into sin. Sin led to a separation from the creator and the source of power, health, and success. This applies to every human being. Sin opened a gateway to hate, unforgiveness, bitterness, pain, trauma, and sickness in our lives.
My innocence was taken from me before I turned eight years old. My parents were unable to create a safe environment to nurture their gifted child due to their sins. The effects of sin passed on to me during my childhood. At that time, they were unaware that the influence of witchcraft, incest, idolatry, perversion, and promiscuity tainted their family history. I can't pinpoint when these negative influences took hold, but I know that this familiar spirit wreaked havoc for many generations before my birth.
Every person is born with a purpose, regardless of how they came into the world. God has a plan for each person from the moment they are conceived. Regardless of the circumstances of your birth, God has called you to make a positive impact in your family line. The choice is ultimately yours. At some point in your life, God arranged for you to encounter the message of Jesus Christ, which has led you to this blog.
Your journey continues to mature with every believer you encounter. Every message you listen to, every word of faith you read, and every moment you pray and read the word of God prove that the Lord is drawing you closer to Him. What an incredible Father! Your story may differ from mine, but God aligned the circumstances for you to be where you are today.
I was born as a result of a one-night stand. God's plan was for me to restore my family's connection to Him. Many before me were called, but not everyone accepted the call. God appointed me as a prophet to the nations by His mercy to break the cycle of wickedness in my family. The devil tried to thwart or delay my mission. Despite facing hardships such as my mother's death when I was 13 and a difficult childhood, I had an encounter with the Lord. Even though I had given my life to the Lord before age ten, I still faced troubles. It took years of battling these deep-seated family curses to break free.
God never gave up on me until I finally completely surrendered my life. Shame, hurt, disappointment, and everything else the devil had on me had to bow when the King of Glory was enthroned in my heart. Can I tell you that no one has a perfect story? We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We have scars to prove that we have been hurt. Many of us should not be alive today, but God kept us alive by His mercy. He made a way to reconcile us to Himself. That alone is worth celebrating. Nothing is impossible for God. There is no experience too big that He can’t redeem you from. Like us, your story will be a testimony to encourage others.
