I was saved & baptised about 12 years old, and about the time I grew up enough more to get an interest in girls, I backslid for about 30 years or so, while I was married and raising kids. She was a non-devout Catholic and we did not see eye to eye about God.

But in retrospect, I can now see where the Lord was continuing to be with me the entire time. I would get unctions to, do the right thing, read my Bible, pray some, try to take the family to church and so on...

I remember when I was about 15, my grandma made a strange statement to me one time. She said Eddie, The Holy Spirit is working in your life, I can see this...
Now I was 15 yrs old then so it slid right off of me, what's to eat? But looking back, I think she was right and even when I was backslid, I can see where the Lord was always with me. But being married and young and full of pride, I thought the good things in my life were because of me and how good I was...(pride). But now it seems easy to see that...it was the Lord, it is the Lord...!!

I can say now...He has never left me or forsaken me. Well, I've been pondering these things a little and it occured to me...

Was what I felt and the unctions to do right that I got all those years...Strictly my Holy Spirit Comforter/Helper? Or would it be correct to say...that the Lord came and did abide with me in that time? I'm not sure.
 
Great testimony Edward.
It's amazing how God works through us, even when we don't realise it.
He pleads with us and at times we are unaware of it.
Whether it was The Lord or The Holy Spirit God was with you all that time.
It's very encouraging. Thanks Edward, you are well blessed.

awesome testimony - thanks
 
Thanks for sharing your testimony. I think that God is with us, even if we backslide He is there waiting and trying to show himself in our lives. God can work in Christians and even non-Christians, scripture shows.
