Of all the miracles and things God does around the world, there is no greater miracle than to see a life changed. May these two testimonies from South Africa brighten your day and encourage you to keep pressing the battle. 

In the beginning of this year, I started having a lot of questions about the Word. I wanted to know more about it, and I believe God used my friend to get me to that point since I had a friend who also always had questions about the Message and the Word in general.

I started paying more attention in church and then, later on, I found myself listening to the Voice of God every once in a while. The Voice of God influenced me to give my heart to Jesus, and I went forward in our service one day after I already ignored it once or twice on previous occasions. This time I knew I could not ignore it any longer.

At that time, I was still very confused and I wasn't sure what to do next. I began listening more to the tapes and reading my Bible, and now it's part of me to have quiet time, to pray, read the Bible, and to listen to the Voice of God. The Voice always emphasized on being filled with the Holy Ghost, and I believe I am a candidate for the Holy Ghost after I got baptized on 12 December 2017.

I am grateful to God that despite all the wrong things I still do, He is changing my life. I know He will continue to change me so that I can live the way God wants me to live.

I am a 22-year-old sister from Upington, and I'm currently studying in Cape Town. When I got to University I struggled to find accommodation and financial aid for my tuition. By God's Grace, the Lord provided accommodation but my tuition fees were the real issue. The financial aid that I applied to, could not find my application by any means. There was no record showing that I did apply. Believers prayed, but I was so discouraged. Just as I was at the point of giving up, the Lord answered. They found my application, and up till this day I do not know what happened. A miracle, I would say.

Through all these trials I knew that God was speaking to me personally. The Lord spoke to me years back, but I kept on running away. Fear of following the Message controlled my life. I suffered much because of this.

But the Lord called me again (22nd October 2017, Sunday) in church, but again fear got a hold of me. I got home and prayed that God would give me wisdom, but every time I prayed, He felt so far.

Then again, the Lord visited me when I listened to the "Quote of The Day" on the 24th October 2017 titled "Why?". Brother Branham spoke about the very thing that I was struggling with, FEAR. He said that we should not be afraid of the Word of God. It is here to help us, not to harm us. That day I knew it was God Himself speaking to me through Brother Branham, and I fully surrendered.

I am so grateful for His Grace, Grace that I surely do not deserve.

I want to thank every believer who did not give up on me: those who prayed, my parents, my pastor and his family, and VGR for supplying the quotes. It has been a real blessing to me, and I still listen to it every morning before I go to Varsity. I also listen daily to the Message of the Hour.

I would like to encourage all young people not to hesitate and procrastinate when God is calling them. Listen to that still small Voice and follow Him quickly.

God Bless
