Born
Again: On Sunday night during revival in 1970
Place: Mount Comfort Baptist Church
Age: 15
My Testimony
I first realized I was lost at about the age of twelve or thirteen after
hearing the gospel preached. I can remember thinking about this when I was
picking cotton, knowing that I would live in hell for eternity if I died
then. However, I resisted the power of the Lord for two or three years.
One Sunday night at the age of fifteen, my father took me to the revival
at Mount Comfort. After the message was preached, a woman came to me and
said she would walk to the altar with me if I wanted to go. I only needed
her for that first step. That night at the altar I accepted Jesus as my
savior. I knew this when I thought I saw a vision of Jesus coming down the
aisle of the church and my burden was gone.
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain
thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." [Psalms 55:22]
