This is how I came to know God...
As an average teenager. Somewhere along the road, i started to pick up bad habits including alcohol abuse when i was around 19. To make life even worse, i was eventually plagued by negative spiritual entity making my life miserable by hauntings and spiritual attacks at night. Somehow, i pleaded the virgin Mary for help through the holy rosary, as she is known to bring people (especially even non-Christians) back to God through Jesus, her son.
Strangely I found a rosary book i had kept for as long as i knew, it was given to me by my best friend, but never really used it. So I prayed the rosary, and that was the first time i LITERALLY felt a love so strong within my heart which is impossible to explain. Hope was restored. I knew this was God's work.
Few days later, the bad things had noticeably started to subside, and i'm waging war with the devil in my mind; but with every battle trusted in Jesus, i won. Slowly but steadily I rid myself of all vice and temptations one by one. It takes not months, but years of perseverance and trust in God to completely pry oneself of habitual sin. Now peace has been restored and I no longer fear the dark.
This is not myth, and neither is any part of it fictitious. It was NOT my own strength - but only God who has helped me to accomplish this.
Give a chance to allow God to approach YOU in a personal encounter with Him..
