The Church in Spokane
TestimoniesOnce we were Blind, but now we SeeMy wife and I have been married for four years. We came into the church life shortly before we were married. We are both 24 years old. We both received the Lord in our pre-teen years. Throughout the years before we came into contact with the local churches, we had both met with multiple Christian groups either by ourselves or with members of our families. We very much found ourselves dissatisfied and were looking for outward signs of some sort to substantiate our faith in God. Through the Lord’s sovereignty we came into contact with a sister who was meeting with the local church and began to have home meetings in her home. Meeting after meeting we were brought into an experience of Christ that we never considered possible. We were impressed, not only with the words that were spoken, but also with the living testimony of the ones we were meeting with. Before entering into such a church life, God was not real enough to us to affect our daily living. We realized that we were vessels created by God, but full of dirty water. Through the speaking and encouragement of these dear believers, we were brought to see that it is not a matter of us trying to get rid of our dirty water, but of just coming to the Lord again and again, just as we are, to receive the dispensing of His life, the fresh water. And it is by the dispensing of the Lord’s life that this dirty water is displaced, our vessel is washed, and there is an overflow of the Lord’s life that is being added into us and flowing out to others. Through coming into contact with the ones meeting as the church in Spokane we have come to know the Lord in a sweet and intimate way. We feel very privileged to know at such a young age that God has a purpose, not just for us individually but for all men on earth. We are so happy to be with ones who love the Lord and are seeking to satisfy His heart’s desire in this age. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. |
