Testimony Brought up as a Christian

[blessed_]

(this isnt really a testimony heh)

I was brought up as a Christian, was baptised as a baby, so I am not sure when I really really HAD faith in God. Hmmm..I think it was when I was 11 years old, my best friend asked me to help her practice with her evangelism (she joined Kids' Evangelism). So I pretended to be the non-Christian and she pretended to evangelise me. When she asked whether I am sure I will be able to go to Heaven, I said no. So she said how I can be sure and when she asked again, I said yes :D! And later I don't know how, but I think I gradually had more and more faith. But I want moreeeeeeee!

I long to see miracles happen in my life..I want to see God working on my life..everytime I ask(about things I don't know about God), I never seem to get an answer. My first experience of the Holy Spirit entering me was this year. I went to Good News Church, and the pastor prayed for everyone, when he prayed for me and he said:"Fill her(with the holy spirit)! Fill her!"(in mandarin) So I fell to the ground (just like everyone else), my whole body was kinda vibrating,not much, but some other people were speaking in tongues. So I guess the effect on everyone is different? That night I came home feeling different.

How can we evangelise to people? I find it hard. I can't just walk up to someone and say "Jesus died for your sins! You must repent and you can go to Heaven!" Because if I said that, people would think I'm going crazy. I know we should stand up for Jesus, but we should do it little by little right? What I do is, I pray that I can be more and more Christ-like, and then I go to school, trying to make my life influence the people around me. Because we are ALL missionaries, and our life can already show to people that we have Jesus in us. Last time I evangelised through the net(which is a good way :D), and a friend of mine prayed the Sinners' Prayer, but I don't think she really took it seriously. <<I really really want to serve God but I don't know by what ways, since I'm still a student)

I wonder why really great speakers I know are mostly people who have been non Christians. Why is their faith seem to be stronger than us who have been Christians since birth? My dad's friend and his wife, who was a non-Christian, accepted Jesus, and not long after that, they were filled with the Holy Spirit, God also spoke to his wife,..like WOW.


P.S: My left foot's big toe needs prayer! I think the nail is growing into my skin and it hurts and I can't cut it out. Last year this happened and I went to the doctor to cut off a quarter of my nail and now it's happening again. I'm still praying about it these days because I know God heals, let's see if this time God would heal it or I'll need to go to the doctor again =(
