My Testimony

My name is Nino, I am 43 years old, I am from Naples, and I accepted Jesus in my life 16 years ago, In the month of April, to the 27-year age and since that day thanks to God, the life for me has all another aspect, the joy to live knowing my creator takes himself cures of me, because I have been forgiven of my sinned, thanks to Jesus who has died to free me from my mistakes, knowing for sure, that I will go to live with him for the eternity.
A lot of people think that the faith, the religions, God is only for a determinate kind of peoples, whom needs God? One thinks of the poor mans, to the patients, to the delinquents, to the ignorant ones, but it is not like that, everyone needs God (without of me you cannot do not at all, Jesus says) And I have been one of that thought I don�t need God. At 17 year old I recruited in Air Force, mine parents, for good parents they have been worried about my future, since boy I went to school but with very poor results, then they thought to recruit me. I can say that willingly I accepted the military life well in aeronautics, it has given me many satisfactions, at 19 age I was earning a good salary. I bought the car, when I was at home, mine childhood friends were envying because, and they could not have what I had. This was making me proud, at times I had pity of them, then I was letting them a turn on my car, I had all what I like, seeming to touch the sky with the hands. When I was 22 years old I bought the car of my dreams, a Matra Bachera a sporting car of those times, besides I got engaged with a girl whom everyone was envying. When I thought I had touched the apex of the happiness, here first disappointments arrived: the death of my father, and a week after my girl left me. The world was on falling to me, in those days of anguish someone talked to me about Jesus, a Jesus different from what I knew, (my family was very Catholic) from boy I have frequented the church very much. I thought to know God and all history, I respected the religious rites and considered myself as right, I was saying in my mind there are others which need Jesus not me, and actually I was not doing anything of evil, I was not stealing, I have not killed, I did not have vices: alcohol, gamble.

But that day was different, later I understood that it was god to prepare everything, when the man will cross good moments he does not have the heart arranged to listen to his word, he raises the shoulders he is in its mind he thinks that he is not for him, but God knows what are the good moments, when I heard to speak that first time, I listened to something of unusual, the depth of the sin, the possibility to be forgiven, become a new person, to have a justice sense according to God, as being to his service, the eternal life, that day was the first time that I heard from a sinner and I also knew that god knew all my sins, I had the possibility of being forgiven, that day I understood that god is not a history written in a book, but living ready to intervene to take away the men by the sin.
I still remember today those moments of hips, they were not the days of my conversion, in fact I spent other 5 years, but in those 5 years I remember I was addressing myself to God in prayer during the difficulties, and started to read the bible, however I was continuing in my licentious life.

From that day I didn�t consider myself any more right, because God knew everything of me, he can read in my mind, I could not hide my sin, adultery, perversity wish, envies, jealousy, lies, falseness, cheats, blasphemies, bad words, I knew what is the sin, but cannot to escape from it, I was punctually falling in the temptation and the sin. A year later I knew a girl, I fell in love soon and from the previous disappointment for fear to lose her, we got married after a year of engagement. The confidence come back in me, I was again happy, after 10 months my son born, I was very happy.
I had again all that is wished from the life, and to not finish, few months later had the transfer from Rome To Naples, I could be nearer my family, several spare and like that street time. I was spending my happy life I forgot God, doing what He doesn�t like.

These happy moments lasted for a few years, when almost unexpectedly I started suffering of acute gastroenteritis, they began terrible badly of belly, with the diarrhea consequence, I went to the doctor's and did of analysis, with the result that almost all the foods took away and many medicinal gave me, I was worsening every day, at point I was doing of the injections to calm the badly of belly, I took a strong nervous exhaustion, I was not going anywhere for fear I could have a belly pain, on the road, I had become arrogant with my wife and son, were begin some violent quarrels with my wife, at the point  we were  to separate. He spent some year in this state, at the point in my mind the thought of the suicide was flashing, at times was stopping to think; what do I miss? I have everything; money, a good work, a family which I loved, why am I reduced in this state?  At this thought I wanted to do it finished, how many times, I have been to the point to throw me down in the empty space, or throw me below a car, I was not bearing to spend that way, I knew that first or then I would had the courage to do it.

Thanks to God, he had not forgotten of me, I had the opportunity to talk to a person, that sick of heart in young age it had been cured, told me his experience, that Jesus had cured him, he had not gone through the religions, but for faith it turned to God, what the bible say, "close yourself in your room and invoke me, and I will answer you" it was born a wish in him, he wanted to ask Jesus to forgive and heal him, and Jesus did it, He changed his life, his feelings, and cured him from his sickness, it was a new person, and all ones that knew him before, they could testify he was changed, always happy, not more a bad one word, calm, always available.

What I had received 5 years before went back to my mind, but now with new indications to approach me to God, I started to ask to Jesus to forgive my sins, and to change my life, so that I did not fall in the temptations and so again in the sin, I started to read the Gospels and praying, they had come a few days, when an afternoon I was at home and I was reading in Mateo Jesse�s crucifixion, when I arrived to his death, I burst out crying, I heard, that death was for me, for the fault of my sin Jesus dying for me, I realized, through his  sacrifice I was forgiven.
When I stopped to cry, something was changed in me, I was happy, calm, in the next days, I noticed I was changed, and I did not realize, I was not attracted by the perversities any more, from the injustices, from the temptations, I felt free, I started to eat everything and was not informing any belly pain any more, after time the others noticed this change of mine and were asking me what had happened, I was answering that Jesus had done all this.

I have been quite long in this testimony of mine, but after almost 17 years I can say, I am always the new person, the time did not damage my faith in Christ, and could yet tell wonderful things Jesus has done in my life, if you want, you must follow only the indication you have read above, you directly go to Jesus, invoke him with wish, and He will answer you.
