My Story
The video below describes the person I used to be, and how the love and grace of Jesus Christ changed my life forever.
In the video, I talk about my previous life, my current life and who I aspire to be after I am miraculously healed by Jesus Christ. (As of December 28, 2010, I had 12 tumors)
My re-dedication to the Lord was marked by my disease, but my relationship with Christ continues to grow substantially as I walk through the fire.
Acts 20:24
“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my ONLY aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”
1 Peter 1:6-7
“In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”

God wants your heart today, too: Repent and give it to Him so that you can have a fulfilling life in Him!
Jeremiah 29:13
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
_____________________
I have found nothing more fulfilling than living for God, although I have lived the life I wanted to lead for many years, and there was nothing tasteful about it…My life was based on pride, lust, greed, a love for money, selfishness, fits of rage etc…The adjectives that fall in this category are many, and regardless of what yours are, they’re also wrong and sinful. I was addicted to many of these adjectives.
Galatians 5: 19-21
“The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery (excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures); idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions (strong disagreements), factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies (wild, drunken festivities), and the like. I (Jesus) warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will NOT inherit the kingdom of God.

Come to Christ so you can live a holier life in Him. He will transform you slowly but surely into His likeness so that you will bear fruit everyday, everywhere:
Galatians 5: 22-26
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.”
I’m sorry this video is long…The last minute of the video is a Hillsong video of “With Everything”.
Romans 12: 2
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!“
The video below is a chat with my dear brother Haytham, who planted the seed of Christ in my heart in 1993. Haytham came from a Muslim family, but loved Jesus so much that he was not willing to convert back to Islam even though his grandfather put a gun to his head in front of the whole family witnessing the event. They were ready to kill him that second. You can ask me about this life-changing and moving testimony that put me to tears many times. Not long after meeting Haytham and having the seed of Christ planted in my heart, I accepted the Lord as my personal Savior. Although I was young, and it has been many years, there are some moments one does not forget in his life. And ever since that day, my faith has gone through troughs and peaks…but,
Philippians 1:6
“Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Missing you every day, Danny. So much. But I never cease to give thanks to God for having had you in my life, for having known you. This video makes me sooo happy and soo sad at the same time. He planted the seed of faith in your heart, and it’s so beautiful how you guys could spend time together again. You were the one who planted the seed of faith in my heart, and all I wish now is to see you again, to be able to hug you, to thank you in person for this change that you caused in my life. God changed me through you forever. I am so thankful for you. I know that there will be a day when we will meet again, I believe that with all of my heart. So I will keep trusting in the Lord, keep feeding my faith like I’ve been doing ever since you taught me how, I will keep praying earnestly, and will keep trying to encourage others to accept Christ, to grow closer to Him, just like you encouraged me. You gave me the biggest gift anyone could ever give me. Thank you a million times, Dearest D. There will be a day when I’ll see you again and I’ll be able to thank you for this. And I will be able to hug you. In the meanwhile, keep rejoicing in Heaven and keep watching over us. We all miss you down here.
<3 LOVE,
V.
I just wanted to say your faith is inspiring. You don’t know me and other than my coming across you on a friend’s Facebook page, we have no connection other than in Christ. I have deviated from the Lord in recent years but am working on recommitting myself to him and allowing his grace to drive my life. You’re a great example that the Lord does not give us more than we can bear. Some would curse his name for being stricken with this disease, but you thank him for it and use it to encourage others. Not that you need props, but I give you major props (in His name, of course).
God Bless
