What a walk we have in Jesus

Christian Testimony of David Revill

David 2002

My name is David Revill and I have been with the Lord for just two years. In my previous life I was in a sorry state indeed. In my teens I had taken part in the Ouija board and read Tarot cards. I can now look back and see that something of those days stayed with me through my early adulthood and affected me greatly.

I seemed to be full of anger and Hate. I never wanted to be around anyone I, I was very suspicious of everyone and everything. Needless to say that this began to eat away at me and wear me down. Now married my relationship began to suffer. I would just take off and go away for weekends with my friends on drinking sessions.

Cash drove my life, I wanted more and more and I was prepared to work all hours in a bank to make it. Soon my marriage failed and I was divorced from Allison my first wife.

I moved out of our home and bought a new house. I went wild as I was a free man going out drinking, night clubs, drugs and one night stands heading for self destruction.

My new neighbours, Simon and Jane, were very friendly (I felt they were too persistent at the time) always inviting me around for dinner or an odd cup of tea/coffee. Being a loner I declined for a very long time but eventually I relented and joined them for dinner one evening.

I don’t know how but the subject of God arose??? Simon and Jane began to witness to me. It was very strange, I felt excited and upset and sorry all at the same time. Some weeks and many cups of tea later I was told that I could change my life if I wanted to and was told what I needed to do.

The following day on October the 11th I gave my life to Christ. I confessed my sins and asked for forgiveness. I was on a high I don’t think I have ever felt that good before and it was thanks to the Lord.

I went to church and after sometime met Heather who is now my wife and the Lord takes care of us both and I have never been so happy and content. It’s a privilege and a wonder to see the lord in our lives every day.

Looking back I can see the Lord God calling me throughout my life, little incidents and meetings etc. How I thank my Saviour for not giving up on me. What a wonderful Father I have in him and the perfect family with my brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord.

There are many things in the bible that upset me yet I know the Lord has his reasons and I do my best not to personalise him. The least I can do for God is to stand firm with his words and never bow to liberal modern Christian movements. Life gets hard at times but I know that Christ will only give what burdens I can handle and I thank him for all trials and tribulations that I come across. To do anything but accept would be to judge him and I refuse to do that. My life is with Christ and it is his to do what he pleases. Praise God in all things brothers and sisters.
