God saved my life

God saved my life

Bible: John 8:42-47

Reading

When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of
lies (V.44).

When Aaron was fifteen, he began praying to Satan, the devil: “I felt like he and I had a partnership.” Aaron started to lie, steal and mistreat his family and friends. He also had bad nightmares: “I woke up one morning and saw the devil at the end of the bed. He told me that I was going to pass my exams and then die.” Yet when he finished his exams, he lived. Aaron explained, “It was clear to me that he was a liar.” Hoping to meet girls, Aaron went to a Christian summer camp, where a man offered to pray for him. “While he was praying, I felt a sense of peace flood my body.” He felt something “more powerful and more freeing” than what he felt from Satan. The man who prayed told Aaron that God had a plan and that the devil was a liar. This man echoed what Jesus said of Satan: “He is a liar and the father of lies” (JOHN 8:44). Aaron turned to Jesus from Satanism and now “belongs to God” (V.47). He now spends his time sharing the difference following Jesus makes. He is living proof of God’s saving power: “I can say with confidence that God saved my life.” God is the source of all that is good, holy and true. We can turn to Him to find truth.
