My Testimony!!!

Today, I will be sharing with you my testimony with music. Listening to music is my life...okay to re-frame that I mean it is what I do (lifestyle). I listen to music to for leisure (some people ask me how I can sit down by myself all day and Listen to music...I'll tell u it is different). Oh, I don't listen to any music though...I am a christian so my songs must minister to me. Apart from reading my Bible and devotion time, listening to Christian songs is my way of staying connected to God every time. People ask me how I can listen to only Christian songs...I tell them it is a personal encounter. It is not by my power...all the glory be to God.

So, It started over 3yrs ago..I think I was listening to a song by T.I; an American Musician(not so sure of the title) & b'cos it was Saturday night...preparing for church so I got into the church mood. Then, I started listening to Darlene Zschech (formerly a Worship Leader at Hillsong church but now a Pastor of a church in Australia). The song really ministered to me and I got into mood of listening to all the song she sang...that's how I discovered Hillsong. I kept on listening, something in me was feeling the song (I would say as at that time but now I would say it is the Spirit of God in me). Then, I switched back to the song I was listening to before...wow the connection got disconnected. I mean I wasn't feeling the same feeling I had while I was listening to the Christian song. So, it occur to me that there's a different between those songs. From that day, I decided not to listen to any song that doesn't glorify God. Although, I have struggles sometimes but I got up & here I am...praise be to God :) . So anyone thinking that it is weird for someone to only listening to Christian songs...maybe when they have a similar encounter like mine, they will understand. However, I am not judging anyone; we are different stages in our level of work with God. Like I said before, it is just God's grace because making such a decision as a teenager is very challenging.

So, once in a while God ministers to me through songs. Today, the song is "Whom shall I fear" by Chris Tomlin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOkImV2cJDg .The message from this song is when God is for me, no one can be against me (Romans 8:31). When God is for me, all is settled & I have no reason to fear, doubt or fret.

Thank you Jesus for being by side, I know sometimes I want to do things in my own way but you are always there for me. Your arms are wide open to accept me anytime or any day. Thank you for been merciful and for bringing me thus far...I KNOW AND I CONFESS I WILL LET YOU TAKE CHARGE OF EVERYTHING!!!! I REFUSE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING.

Stay Blessed!
