My life in Jo-burg was first class until I had my other children.  Life became very difficult because my relationships with men were all a disaster, and did not last long.  And for me I did not really bother myself with God because I was suffering, no job, no money, no place to stay, living on the streets.  My kids and I were fed at different soup kitchens. 

Why I did not really believe in God is because my life was going backwards and my first born child was taken away from me.  So my circumstances told me that God does not care about me and I believed the Bible was just a fairy tale.  Until God placed me in an abandoned building in the inner city of Jo-burg where there was no water, no toilet, and no electricity.  It was full of criminals and prostitutes.  I stayed three years in the abandoned building, with my children, before God brought me to a place where I had to make a choice about Jesus, whether to choose Him or to reject Him.  It was not an easy decision to make because there were a lot of things I had to get rid of.  I started feeling the emptiness within me and I chose to take Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. 

The devil was very angry with me leaving him, so he brought a lot of temptations, tribulations, and trials my way.  Many times I would fall but by His grace, God would come again and lift me up.  Then the Spirit of God started working in me and took the rubbish that was in me out and start cleansing me with the blood of Jesus Christ.  God started revealing Himself and His word unto me and then I realized just how much God does care for me and just how much He loves me.  My children were not attending school for one year because I had no money to put them in school.  God touched the heart of a family whom I don’t know and today my children are in a school of my choice and I am out of the abandoned building and stay in a house with another lady. I still trust and believe that God will one day give me my own house.  Even my oldest son, which was taken away, is back with me. 

Today I can say with confidence that the Bible is the true Word of God.  The Bible reveals the devil unto us as one who comes to kill, steal, and to destroy.  I have found this to be true because I have realized that he wants to steal my joy and peace which God has given me by stirring up emotions within me, and to take my eyes from God and to place my eyes on the things of the world.  But today I can sing with Great joy in my heart that I have fell in love with Jesus at the Cross of Calvary and all things are possible with God and I have learned to love and to forgive.  I have decided to fellow Jesus and no turning back.  The world behind me and the cross before me.  I am free from the bondage of Sin and Satan.  Praise God!
