Testimony from He Saved The Day
Abraham’s Testimony:
Hi all,
I just want to use the opportunity to thank God once again for being at the Men’s Conference.
I already sent an email earlier expressing my thanks to God and those people God used.
However, I just thought I should share this with you all.
Last night while I was back in the house I lodged and meditating on the things we were thought at the conference and praying during the course of the meditation, God showed me what I needed to do to reach out to my colleagues at work.
I will be pursuing that this week and it crossed my heart yesterday that God will reach out to all my colleagues through this means.
Also, I received last night confirmation about where God wants me to worship before relocating to Africa. This has been an issue for the last couple of months.
Lastly, while I was preparing for the conference on Friday, I was ironing my clothes and my iron stopped working.
I quickly checked if I could find the receipt/bank statement to show that I bought it at Asda but I couldnt.
I cycled to Asda but was told that I needed to get the receipt or a Bank Statement showing exactly the cost of the iron.
I couldnt find it so I left for the conference.
On saturday, during the break, i went to M&S in Exeter to see if I could get a new iron.
I already picked up the iron but thought to myself that I should get back home and check again if I could find the cost of the iron in my bank statement.
I got back home and checked but I couldnt find it..
I picked up the iron, to be sincere, i just picked it up, without thinking I touched the iron and thought that I should switch it on.
I did and it worked..
I am grateful to God for the fact that the iron worked.
although the iron cost £15 but I am too grateful to God and sensed I should share this with you all.
The same God that saved me from wasting another £15 is all powerful to save me from wasting millions and could use me to save lives from dying, businesses from failing and institutions and societies from wasting efforts on replacing things that still have long life.
Thank you God and thank you guys.
Love you all
Abraham

He Saved Me From The Miry Clay Of Sin
Emanuel’s Story:
I grew up in a Christian family in Romania with twelve other brothers and sisters. I’m sixteen now. I had a normal life, as a child of Christian parents. I respected the Church’s schedule but as I grew up, I began to walk with friends from outside of the church and with the time I began to stay away from the church and maybe, away from God!
When I began to follow Jesus, I was in a camp together with other friends from a local church from my village. A man was preaching and I believe that while he was saying God’s words, I felt God’s love surrounding me and I fell on my knees and I began to weep. After that service, I went to the preacher and asked him to pray for me. That’s how I began to walk with God and I can say that there was very bad moments in my life.
After I was baptized with water, the time of wilderness came in my life, when I was tested by God. I failed in those moments somehow. There were sins in my life that I walked in before I turned to God. Sins like immorality, sins of a teenager. I began to walk in those sins again for a while. There were times when I felt God very far from me but also there were moments when I just danced before Him.
Thank God that He pulled me up from the miry clay of sin!

He Saved Me From Laziness and Normality
Martin’s Story:
I grew up being forced to attend a methodist Sunday School together with my brothers. This turned me against ‘organised’ religion. I wasted my academic ability, at school,through laziness. Instead of going to Uni I left the 6th form before taking my A levels.
In November 2008 my wife and I attended her late father’s funeral, he was a treasurer of a Church of England church. The funeral was boring and I wished I was elsewhere. This must have been the turning point because the Go4God Church Barnstaple advert was on the household noticeboard for weeks before we attended in the New Year.
I’m more than happy we did go to Go4God in Barnstaple. The Word of God is amazing and meant for all of us. Faith, for me, is part of a process of growth and not a ‘one stop fix’.
Thank God He saved me from laziness.

He Saved My Marriage
John’s Story:
I was born on a little farm just out side of St.Ives, on the Zennor road called Trevessa. My father used to be a lay preacher in the Methodist chapel but in sixties moved to the Anglican church at Halsetown, St.Ives.
I went to church most Sundays and was a choir boy. It was at this time that a family turned up at church for a christening. What brought my attention to this family was a young girl that caught my eye! She was, I learned afterwards, called Sally, her parents were dairy farmers from Lelant. Church began to get very interesting! After we were married we didn’t attend church very often. After a couple of years we were expecting our first baby, I was a very happy man.
One busy day in February, Sally was felling sick. She went to the doctor who said that it was a bug and that there were a lot around. On getting home Sally was sick and became unconscious, having fits and throwing herself around on the floor. I came in and found her. I called 999 & the ambulance arrived as did the doctor and Sally, 37weeks pregnant, was rushed to Truro in ambulance followed, very nervously, by me driving the doctors car.
Sally was rushed into the theatre and after I had signed that they could do what ever necessary to save her, they carried out an emergency caesarean section.
I was beside my self! What if she dies? What about the baby? After a short wait I was told that I was a dad, and that Anna had been placed in the Special care Baby Unit. She was asleep because of all the drugs that had to be used to drop Sally’s blood pressure.
I remember going in with my mother in law to see Sally in a very dark room. There was a nurse there and Pam asked what the prognosis was. The nurse indicated that she was not supposed to tell us anything to which Pam replied “its ok I’m a pharmacist and I understand these situations”.
The words that then came from the nurse’s mouth will be with me forever. She said “In these cases it is usually the baby that dies first!”
That was it. What could I do my world had been torn apart & I was totally lost. Thankfully they both survived and we had Anna christened in the small Towednack Anglican church. I had vowed never to have any more children but on 22nd Feb some 2 years later George was added to our family.
Life was good. But I was working all hours. My father had retired and we were running the dairy farm. I would often be up to milk the cows at 6 andthen off for a days contracting often not returning home until 10- 11 o’clock at night. To do the same the next day. This was no fun for a young mum who had to look after 2 tiny children as well as organise the events on the farm when I was not around. Circumstances Changed and because of our actions we suddenly realized that we were in a mess, BIG TIME! OUR MARAGE HAD HIT THE ROCKS.
We had both been neglecting each other and needed to sort things out. We went to see John Harper the guy that married us as we figured that if he put us together then he could mend us!
I remember he asked me a question? “Do you read the bible?” “No” I responded “but I do occasionally read a hymn book!” Why I said this I do not know but it seemed good at the time! He spoke some God stuff into my life and I didn’t really know what was going on but I wept buckets. (It was as if God was cleaning me from the inside!)
Several nights later I was in bed with Sally and although we were only inches apart it felt like 1000 miles, I said this prayer, “‘Dear God, I don’t fully understand all that is going on in my life BUT if you are real would you come into my life in Jesus name Amen.”
I awoke the next day and I felt good. I said “hello” to the work chap who was working on some machinery, and then it happened: he dropped a spanner or something and said the name “JESUS” and I went “WHAT WAS THAT!” It was as if someone had stabbed me in the heart. I had heard blasphemy before but now it hurt me and I knew something had changed. I had become a Christian.
That was when the He saved the Day for me. He rebuilt our marriage and transformed our lives. Praise His Name.

He Saved Me From The Occult
Nathaniel’s Story:
I was a clubber into the house scene in the midlands during the mid 90’s. I got interested in voodoo and black magic. I called spirits into me in order to do ouija and to access the voodoo spirits. Thankfully God warned me what I was getting into – after trying to find something to help me escape all the spirits I had called in I looked through a bible – saw in the bible about “passover”. I did not know what it was but I sure wanted some help as I wanted the spirits that were on me to passover!
One day I was sitting in a pub and I heard a voice say “are you ready to meet someone?”. I looked around the voice was in me around me so strong – it was the voice of God. In my heart I said Yes! The next day I was on a train I heard two men talking about Jesus like he was real. I asked these guys when we got to the station to help me – I said “I had been invloved in some scapes!” I prayed a prayer and asked Jesus to be my saviour and I accepted that he had died on the cross for me and my sins.
As I called Jesus into my life – my legs gave way – I was very dizzy – as God came into my life – since then I have grown in the Lord – got to know Him – he has given me a new life – a wife – a family – a career – a new path away from drugs – the occult – sleeping around and trying to please people all the time.
Thats my story of how He Saved The Day !!!
