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
