I won't go into too much detail..but I have been going to Christian church services lately. I am Catholic and I truly believe Jesus Christ is present in the blessed sacrament, but I have been able to combine both services. We have no Catholic charismatic churches close by, so I love the fact that I can go and praise Jesus in a more lively and joyful atmosphere. Many from the Church are also Catholic, looking for the same thing I am. The pastor is also a former Catholic. Many times during the service I have gone to get prayed over and I have actually been slain in the spirit, which feels unlike anything I have ever felt before. In the Catholic church, i have never experienced this?
I am also attending prayer meetings and youth nights once a week. One night I felt compelled to get up and talk, i firstly told everyone how very shy I was and that I don't speak much. Once I start talking about God, that is a different story, I can't stop lol. So once I finish what I was saying, they were speechless lol they told me that I soudned like a preacher and that I had a wonderful gift from God. The pastor was amazed and said that God had truly wonderful things planned for my life. I did however feel a little silly about myself, because i wondered how can I go about preaching to others when I struggle to do the things myself. For example, I can say to someone you need to pray more, but I know for a fact I don't pray as much as I should.
I know that it may not mean much, but i feel that God has called me to where i am right now. I have found that my relationship with Jesus is becoming more and more stronger every day. It's so good to be around other youth in the Church, i have been welcomed with such open arms.
Please say a prayer for me that I may do God's will and not mine
God bless
