Welcome!
Greetings everyone from me... Captain Don. Wow! I am completely overwhelmed at the response so far to my testimony. I said it before and I'll say it again, "I love the body of Christ". I wanted to respond to everyone's message individually, but decided that's probably not too realistic. So, I'll just respond to all of you wonderful members of my new RITAN family in this single response.
Remnant Navi: I consider it a joy and an honor to be counted as your "Spirit Brother". God bless you and thanks for taking the time to read my testimony.
Morningstar: Blessings to you as well. I absolutely believe that the return of Jesus is literally right around the corner. My 12 year old son came in our room in the middle of the night a few days ago and said he couldn't sleep because he was too excited about the rapture. I love it! Thank you for mentioning the importance of praying for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. It seems like I have been doing that a lot lately, as well as praying for America, and all of the nations in the middle east surrounding Israel. I ask that everyone reading this would remember to pray for our fellow Christians and the unsaved that have yet to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior living in the Arab countries surrounded Israel.
DaphsGram: I know all about that (ADHD).
Thanks for hanging in there with my looooong testimony. I'll be praying for your husband. I'm living proof that there is hope.
Shiloh: Thanks for your response. I never thought that I would have a similar experience to Paul when he was on that road to Damascus and Jesus showed up (literally out of nowhere). Thankfully Jesus was quite a bit more loving and gentle with me than he was with Saul. When the Lord shows up like that it definitely changes you forever. Also, thank you for the nice welcome to the RITAN family.
AngelWings7: Thanks for the confirmation that what Jesus did in my life is not for me alone. I have to share with others about the reality of His love, and how completely and beautifully he can transform lives for the better. I'm with you 100%, we have to reach out to as many people as we can with the truth of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord; because before we know it... in a moment... in the twinkling of an eye... we will be in the clouds, transformed and enjoying the greatest family reunion of all time.
TakeMeHome: Maranatha indeed! There is truly no one like our Lord. I guess that's why every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. If I don't see you in the air, we'll touch base at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Patti Day: I'm glad you were touched by my testimony. I give God all of the glory... because without him none of us would have anything to testify about. Be blessed in Him always.
Lisaleenie: God is so good and so faithful! Thanks for the Philliapians 1:6 passage (I've always loved that verse). You hit the nail right on the head... Jesus shepherds his flock so amazingly. If you want to be in good hands, forget Allstate and look to the Good Shepherd.
I'm so thankful that we are never, ever alone when we choose Jesus. He will be with us always and forever. Be blessed my sister and keep looking up.
Well, that's it for now... God bless us, each and every one.

Welcome Captain!! What a powerful testimony. Bless you for sharing this
with us. Your experience with Jesus confirms what many of us have
been feeling lately about the soon return of Jesus Christ. The
Lord is revealing to us the shortness of the hour. That we are
to pray for the lost and for Israel His Chosen. Our Lord God Almighty
is about to intervene in the affairs of man to bring about
the end of this Age and His Millennial Reign.
God Bless you Captain
and again WELCOME....
What a wonderful and awesome testimony! That is so interesting! I can really relate to what you said here:
but I definitely felt His presence and instantly knew it was Him. I’ve had
a few other times in the past where I felt very close to God and that He
was doing a work in my life, but definitely nothing as powerful as this
time. I wasn’t dreaming, and this wasn’t a vision because I never actually
saw Jesus. With my eyes wide open (staring up at the ceiling), I literally
felt Jesus touch my heart and I sensed Him telling me that He had come to
heal me from all of the pain of my past..."
My hats off to what you do. That is not an easy job.
We all have struggles in our lives in one form or another, but don't you just love those precious moments when Jesus lets Himself be known and that HE has us in HIS Hand?
By the way,
to the group!
Captain Don my dear brother,
Thank you for that awesome, transparent and honest testimony that truly came from your heart. I was so impressed with what God has done in your life and the miraculous changes he has made in transforming your mind more likened to God's image. What a moving testimony.. God is great and is already using your testimony to help others that have suffered just like you to come to Christ. I enjoyed reading your wonderful testimony that will touch and transform the hearts of many..
You are right, time is of the essence and the Rapture is imminent. God has done and is going to continue to do mightily things here on earth prior to his coming so that the people will wake up to the season that we are presently in. The clock is ticking fast and we will be in Heaven soon with our Father.. In the meantime, you are diligently occupying as a courageous faithful saint and doing the will of your Father.. You are an Inspiration my dear brother and I cannot wait to meet you and give you a great big hug in Heaven. Welcome to the Body of Christ and welcome to the RITAN family.
May God continue to bless you and your family and continue to use you as his vessel to honor the Kingdom of God.
