Living the Journey

I really lacked the security of my salvation, a closeness to God and a joy before I came on the Journey to the Heart. I desired God, but was not seeking Him as I should.

I tried to read my Bible, pray and do some scripture memory…but I wasn’t seeking the Lord with all of my heart. There were still parts of me that were not surrendered to Him.

While on this Journey, God brought me to the point of complete and total surrender to Him. Everything is His and to be used for His glory; my heart, soul, will, future friends and music were all His. I must pray for His strength everyday to stay close to Him, hide His Word in my heart and stand alone in righteousness. I am willing to give anything up for Him.

When I came to this point, my spirit leaped inside of me and I was filled with joy and excitement! I reaffirmed my salvation and I am going to read the Word and engraft scripture into my mind and heart from now on.

Praise God for his work in my life through the Journey and I pray that I will continue to grow in Him as I seek Him with all my heart!

“I always thought I was saved until recently…I began to have doubts about my salvation! When I came to the Journey the Lord showed me that I needed to cry out to Him for salvation. All the girls on my team gathered and I prayed to receive Christ as my Savior! I am so happy…now I know for sure!!!”

“I was wrestling with assurance of salvation for several years. I realized that it was Satan trying to hinder me from doing the Lord’s work.

On Thursday night I talked with my leader and I realized that I had never genuinely cried out for salvation. I prayed that night and now I am free!!! I also dedicated my life to Him and what He would like to accomplish through me. I can’t wait to serve Christ now fully -with no reserves!!!”
