C-BO  MARGEN  TESTIFIES....20.3.2010

(of the resurrection  -power of the Christ Jesus-God Almighty)….click

Once I was lost in the darkness of sin ,without peace ,  always  troubled  in my mind but  thanks to Lord Jesus  I am now a new person  by the resurrection –power of Jesus the Christ. My name is  Calbo  Margen, I am  31 years old, I work and live at JTCM-Mission  and  I am  a brother - in -law  of Pastor Paul Sheehan, the person/instrument  that  God used to open my eyes to myself, my life and God  himself.... Acts  8:29-31….…click

I am very thankful for what Jesus has done in my life. In my past life I was continuously  involved   with alcohol, drugs  and rebellion, my respect for my parents and family was very little. Then  the  JTCM-Mission  came into my life and everything has changed .Even though I had  a name in  the place  where I lived  as cool  I wasn’t really, now that I look at the word of God. I  did coach the local basketball  team to victory ..winning the championship three years running (and I have polio in one leg) but  what’s that  to  knowing  Jesus and walking with Jesus.

My first  lesson  with the JTCM-Mission  was  to repent of my sins and be water –baptised, holy ghost is in my life now and he is showing me  wonderful  things , I don’t have the  words to explain at the moment. Through God’s Word I have learned about respect for myself, family, others and most of all God-Jesus…..in my language ..Dayawon!..... (the new covenant  agreement)…… John 18:36,Matthew 22:37-40.

Since I have been at JTCM-Mission I have learnt to.... obey Jesus word, have faith in God, do good to others, be honest ,humble and don’t lie, for the devil  is a liar in a word …..Jesus First! Before in my life I only knew Jesus by name even though I went to lots of different  churches  each Sunday seeking  rest for my sinful soul (Apostolic, Pentecostal, Baptist, Roman Catholic and others). I could never understand the words of the minister at any of the  churches I went to .But  I can understand what  Pastor Sheehan says, it’s  so simple. When  I heard Pastor Sheehan preach  I was convicted of my sins and the ungodly  things I used to do. I  was just like a crazy person before I turned to Jesus. My life had no direction, no meaning and no taste, so  I  tried to spark it up with drugs, whiskey and  all kinds of  sin but my solution was all only temporary………click

I HAVE BEEN REDEEMED FROM THE USELESS AND AIMLESS CONDUCT OF MY PAST  LIFE BY THE PRECIOUS  BLOOD OF THE LAMB OF GOD , WHO CAME TO TAKE MY SINS AWAY FROM ME  AND BAPTISE ME IN THE HOLY GHOST, THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND GOD ,HIS TEACHING  AND WHAT HE WANTS ME TO DO....REF/....1 PETER 1:18,19, JOHN 1:29-34,JOHN  16:13,JOHN 7:17..............Selah

It’s only now in my life that I realise that it’s not my parents fault that I have polio but before I met  Jesus  I used to blame them  for not looking after me. I have since repented of that and  now I know  through the bible that God has a plan for each of us and  we all must carry our cross and follow him, then our life will become beautiful regardless  of our obstacles, if we repent  and turn to Jesus. Jesus has made something beautiful out of my life and he can do the same for  you  if he hasn’t already.......2 Samuel  9:6,7.

God put it into my heart  to send this letter/testimony out to as many as I can reach ,because he  told  me, I will do it..Iam not ashamed  of Jesus or His teaching, His teaching is the only true way to heaven, all the rest is just religions of men, aimless, useless and leading into hell- fire….click
