| The Journey of escaping Addiction to becoming Youth Leader. |
Mashi Shalom everyone! My name is Ankit Sherpa from Pedong. Working as a Youth Leader in Bethel prayer center Pedong, I come before you to share my short testimony. As many of you might be in addiction, alcoholism, drugs, gambling through which you are struggling in everyday basis to get rid of it, so through this platform or through my testimony I would like to encourage and motivate those people especially the youths who are in addiction of harmful substances.
So basically in the past days even I was an addict, as I used to consume all the harmful substances like Marijuana, tablets, brown sugar, alcohol and even I used to sniff dendrite. When I think of those days now, I can clearly visualize that my life had become hell. I used to live neglectfully, fighting, making mess, harassing my parents. My personal relation with everyone was devastating and broke. At that time I was eventually losing faith in God and also I had started to believe that God didn’t exist, I could see myself becoming different day by day. Soon my parents gave up on me and they started to accept the fact that I would never change myself and neither I could do anything good in life. My parents did every possible things to get me out of that mess, at last all they were left was only hope in Christ, that only he can change me now. My life was deteriorating day by day so my parents took a decision to send me somewhere else rather than letting me be in my hometown, so in the mid of 2017 they decided to send me to Delhi.
While I was in Delhi my parents thought that I would change myself and that I would run away from all my bad habits but that wasn’t the case. In Delhi too I got into bad circle, which made me lay aside the core reason of being there in Delhi. I used to take money from my aunt, uncle without their consent, just to get my hands unto the harmful substances. Not only my parents but I myself was losing hope and started to believe that I cannot change now. But our God is God of possible, he can do miracles. As he had best things for me in the road ahead of me, so when I was in Delhi, whatever I used to do, I used to attend church, even though it was just for formality. One day as usual when I was in church, at the time of worship, I was there with my eyes closed. I started to remember all the times I’ve wasted, the time I used to be a spoiled kid which made difficult for my parents to handle me. I started to realize my wrongs, I was so much broken at that very moment and I could feel that God was telling me to repent for all my doings. That I got into my knees and started to repent for all my mistakes, when the church got over, I was returning home meanwhile all the things I did before came flashing in front of me, which again and again made me realize where my life was.
At that night I kept fasting and prayed and the main subject was to overcome my addiction. I prayed for forgiveness. The very next day I felt so much joy and relieved, and felt the energy inside me. Other days I was addicted to using those substances early in the morning as soon as I woke up, my hands and body used to shiver if not taken those substances, but that day, it was different, I realized that I didn’t needed those substances anymore. From that day onwards miraculously I was all out of it. And that’s all because of our Almighty God. He holds so much power that for him nothing is impossible. He can raise a person from the dust, like the King David, before God made David a king he was just an ordinary shepherd boy. Our God is full of miracles. So from this platform I would like to encourage people like me to let God in your heart and keep everything in his hands for God is surely going to rescue you from all the hurdles. Have faith and God bless you all!
