Worth sharing!!!!

Dustin Washburn's testimony....

Things I've done differently since the assembly....

Things I've done differently since the Assembly... 1. Sold +- 9 XBox 360 games and 15 dvds back to Gamestop 2. Turned off the tv (It only comes on to entertain other people) 3. Got rid of 2 full boxes of books with violent themes 4. Thrown away 1 full box of secular music cd's 5. Deleted over 3000 secular songs from my computer (at least $4000 worth) 6. Spending at least one hour every night studying scripture & preparing messages 7. Studying Scripture during my lunch break when possible 8. Making it a point to be a blessing to my classmates and coworkers 9. Only listening to God-uplifting music 10. And praying and thanking God while driving for His answered prayers. You could say that Bro. Hawkins message got to me. Yes, even me. You can still touch a VLB by preaching it that strong--if you believe every word of it, and it's true. Before this years Assembly, and despite my heritage, TCOG Teachings, etc, I didn't think anything of having violent movies in my home or secular cd's in my room. It took a strong sermon to realize how far I'd let things go, and after getting victory over everything, God required those things of me. I didn't give up these things because one man had said so. I gave them up because God showed me the effect that they were having on my spiritual life. What I've experienced since the Assembly 1. Answers to Biblical ponderings I've wondered about for five years 2. A better understanding of the power of sanctification 3. A deeper understanding of what TRUSTING GOD really means 4. A THIRST for scripture ALL THE TIME 5. An anointing while just sharing kind words with friends that I've never had before 6. An increase in uncaffeinated energy as a byproduct of lack of stress & lack of frustration/depressing moments despite an overloaded work schedule, being shorthanded, and the week of college finals 7. A closer friendship with my Pastor and Pastor's wife 8. A closer friendship with my family and church friends 9. A LACK of weariness or desire for sleep while studying the scriptures or praying before bed 10. A new message every night that get's me fired up and encourages me 11. A MUCH greater desire for Missions 12. A greater desire to GIVE 13. Joy UNSPEAKABLE and Perfect PEACE What things are you willing to "give up" so that God can replace them with blessings upon blessings?
