My Testimony I dont normally say much bout my testimony coz its a bit strange .. but hey thats how i do things.. but i feel in my spirit to share, so here goes. I grew up being rejected by two sets of parents and was beaten, and molested .. so i was kind of a loner. One night when i was 9 yrs old i was just laying on my bed and i had never heard of Jesus but i knew somehow that He was my brother and i looked up and told God that i loved HIM.. and immediately my room was filled with the presence of God, i had never experienced anything like it, i had tears of joy running down my cheeks. But i didnt get saved at that point. I had my beautiful Grandma .. who was the closest person i had to a mother.. she loved and accepted me and i knew it and hers was the only love i knew in my childhood. One day when i was 9 yrs my Grandma told me that one day the earth would open up and all the bad people would fall into the hellfire, well i just stood there stunned. It seemed to come left of field.. but it was the Holy Spirit coz 1 yr later i tried to kill my brother who was molesting me but God put a vision right in front of me, it was of me .alone and the earth opened up and i was standing on the edge ready to fall into the hellfire. It stopped me long enough for my brother to get the knife off me .. thank God!! For He loved me enough to stop me and loved my brother enough to save his life. Time passed and at 17 i was asked to leave home and was packed up and sent out to live with my two older brothers ( one who molested and beat me and one who just beat me) they were both into drugs, one more heavily than the other and they both had drinking problems. In that time i had gotten a kitten (geisha) my eldest brother one day picked my kitten up and threw her against a cement wall .. she had an operation only two weeks before.. but i cried and it was the first i had cried in 8 yrs coz i decided at 10 yrs old to not let them see that they hurt me, but seeing my poor defensless kitten thrown head first into a cement was too much.. i ran and scooped her up and took her to a vet and she was ok ..i also took her to a lady who found homes for kittens..she didnt need to be around that kind of danger. But the flood gates opened. The same brother oneday threatened to beat me coz he lost his wallet.. so i left coz i knew what it was like to beaten by him before. So i went and asked my dad if i could move back home.. he said no there wasnt enough room .. two weeks later my cousin moved in there for 6 months. I had to live on the streets while going through an emotional breakdown and i was diagnosed manic depressive. I was suicidal and could feel my thoughts slipping away from me .. one day i cried out to God.. i said "HELP ME" and i heard Him say " forgive him ( my brother who molested me) and write a letter to your parents to let them know what happened" so i forgave my brother and painstakingly wrote the letter.. i was afraid it would kill him as my mum had told me to stop taking my problems to my dad coz i would kill him. So finally i did it.. and i gave it to them. it was not received well, but the next morning i was totally delivered of that emotional breakdown and manic depression. I got pregnant while living on the streets and got engaged and was engaged for 10 yrs. I was 18 at the time. For 10 yrs i put up with not being loved by my fiance who was an alcoholic. Then after 10 yrs i broke up with him. His best friends were into satanism and after he left we had a demon and a familiar spirit attacking us.. first they attacked my who could see them .. he went from being confident to being so scared he would hide under his covers. I always had a fear of spirits coz i had seen them when i was young. It was the most horrible experience. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and then one morning i had the tv on and it was a show called Jesus tv.. the preacher .. Phil Pringle.. mentioned how he saw a demon..and it caught my attention. At the end of the show there was the salvation prayer.. and i had no idea what it was about .. just that i needed to pray it.. so i did.. and Praise God my and i are walking strong with God. My Grandma was christian.. and unbeknownst to me .. she had been praying for me my whole life. She is now in heaven .. we were close..we were best friends and will continue to be in heaven. In my walk with God .. He has totally and utterly delivered me from 22 yrs of smoking.. without one withdrawal symptom.. He has saved my childrens and my life many times amongst a lot of other things. Lately i have been healed of two primary cancers and am now CANCER FREE. Praise God.. i was supposed to be dead but God had other plans and the oncologist is totally baffled as to how nothing spread. That is part of my story. And thank you to all who have added their stories to busykydad's blog.. you have all encouraged me to do the same. And thanks for the opportunity to share. God bless you all abundantly. Love Hayley xx |

Hayley... You are a strong and amazing young woman ! I can't imagine such a tough life, but I know there are many millions all around the globe still living lives today similar to what you have been through. Praise Him that virtually every young child can inately feel His realness early in life, before the troubles come. In America, we have been blessed so highly, and have it so easy, that we can hardly even begin to grasp such reality. There's so much we can't understand about our amazing Father, but He brings each life into the world, direct from Himself, our spirit and very life, but so many yet today, into unbelievable circumstances and hellholes. We ask why ?...and no answer seems to come, for we cannot grasp all that God is, and all about how He starts from scratch in primitive situations and cultures, and gradually builds His family, out of those very hellholes. Who can understand the purpose of giving life to fetuses who never even make it out of the womb alive ? What a waste, from our view, but all the while, our great Father continues to work even through that, and gradually bring forth His unstoppable loving Spirit out of destruction, hellholes, and extreme fallenness, ignorance, and cruel primitivity. How ? We can't understand----maybe ever----we can only stand in awe of such an amazing life and power, and wondrous creativity and love ! One whose great Spirit will eventually cover the earth, in complete glory and praise. You are living proof of that very fact. He is always with us ! Thank you very much for telling part of your story. I know it's just the tip of that story, but enough to show many that there is always hope in God, and the fact that He is still doing His miracles, always. God bless you highly !...and I know your amazing Grandma has a proud heart in heaven that is bigger than Dallas, because of God and your tenacity and triumph ! She'll be waiting with open arms when your time comes to go..... PTL !

Dear sister you are really free and you have to shine. God passes at times through our horrible moments in life either to heal, deliver or to save us. When things as such happens it is a call for us to tell the world what God has done, what he can do, what he is doing and what he will do. There are those who today are in such conditions but it is our turn to move to them and present the saviour who has the lasting solution. Thank you very much sister for your testimony.

Thanks Heyley, for sharing your heart and your life with us. It truly showes, that God is the same, yesterday, today and for ever. We do not know why He allowed it to happen, yet we definitely see that He is not going to let your hurt to be waisted. He is using it to help others in a way you could never have imagined.
