REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD
From fascination with Angels to falling in Love with Jesus
My name is, Margaret, and I have walked with the Lord Jesus Christ these past 10 years. Every day of fellowship with Him grows sweeter. Let me tell you a little about my life.

I was born the eldest in a family of seven children to very devout Catholic parents who are hard-working farmers and we grew up with everything we needed but life presented me with many hard knocks as I seemed to always be the brunt of my class mates’ jokes or ridicule. Playground time at school for me was horrible and things did not improve when I went to boarding school, where even the teachers joined in on the ridicule. It seemed impossible to communicate my unhappiness to anyone and I found it much easier to retract in to a world of my own where I did not talk or open my life to anyone. It was almost impossible for me to join in on conversation or be a part of a group of people. Meeting new people literally scared the life out of me!

In my solo world, I was attracted to the arts and threw myself in to creative work that I could accomplish on my own. I went to College and studied a Fine Arts course, however, nothing satisfied the deep longing in my heart to be free from myself. I became very fascinated with “bio-energy” (focusing on spiritual and physical energies from the Earth) and along with that New Age philosophy came the worship of Angels. At this time my bedroom was like a shrine unto Angels—I was that taken with them. In spite of my new found love for angels, I spent much time in torment mentally and after many, many hours of counselling I was put on medication to help me, but actually it did not ‘help’ me much at all, but rather seemed to make life a blur.

Then one day a friend in College invited me to a Christian meeting and I began to be very drawn toward seeking the real, living God. The meetings that I went to at first were only monthly meetings and looking back now I can see much of what happened in those meetings was not biblical, but they were used to draw me to Christ. When through another friend, I heard that there was a church that met 3 times a week and believed the same sort of thing, which was that I could have a relationship with God because of Jesus’ blood, I agreed to go and see what it was like. There I found sound, Biblical teaching and I began to read the Bible for the first time in my life with some sort of understanding. I saw what a wretch I was and how much I needed a Saviour. I bowed my knee and asked Jesus to be Lord of my life.

At a point in time, I felt I should come off the medication and rather trust the Lord to give me the mind of Christ. This I did and although it was a faith-stretching time for me, I did not suffer severe side effects. I have tried all that the world or the State has to offer in terms of mental illness recuperation but I know this for certain that all the psychological counselling they offered only ever made me to weep exhausting tears of agony whereas the tears of repentance brought life and relief. ​II Corinthians 7:10 “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
​

I feel so blessed to have the family in Christ that I have and I am so satisfied to be doing what I am doing in serving the body of Christ. There is more for me yet but I am ‘pressing on the upward way.’
