And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better
For a certain season I was unemployed and i felt like i had applied for every job in the U.K without any responses at all, very frustrating. And then one day I was out preaching the Gospel and I came across a guy that seemed to be skeptical about speaking in tongues because he had been to quite a few churches where he felt people where just making it up. We came to an agreement that I would pray for him and me that we would get work, he was unemployed aswell. I prayed in front of the guy in tongues, he went on his way, I was about a 7-10 minute walk from my dwelling place and by the time i had reached the front of the house I noticed a missed call, called the number back and it ended up being my new job with no interview. This testimony is a reminded to me Matthew 6:31-33 & Psalms 37:4
Therefore if any maold things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

In the summer of 2017 a friend sent me a video which I watched over and over which caused me to start asking the big questions within; Was the world created for a specific purpose? Was mankind created for a specific purpose? Was the world created specifically for mankind to live in? Are we humans the only ones in the whole world? I started searching the internet for the answers, I concluded that I would find my answers in the bible. So, I started reading the bible, however it didn’t make sense, so I stopped reading and just got back on with my life. Soon later I was stopped on the street on two different occasions by two different people each time telling me about the evidence I could receive to prove it's possible to have a personal relationship with the God of the bible. I was offered the same leaflet invitation on both occasions. Some words and phrases which I heard that day I still remember to this day; REPENT, GET BAPTIZED, HOLY GHOST and SPEAKING IN TONGUES. I had a job in a restaurant as a Chef on the days that the meetings were, so I didn’t really have any real desire to go and check it out, however my shifts got changed around which meant on this one particular Sunday I was sitting in my room feeling quite bored and I looked down and saw the leaflet on the floor and decided to go along. I was baptized like Jesus did and after coming up out of the water, I prayed to receive the Holy Ghost, but nothing happened. 21 days later after consistently asking, something happened. Forsaking searching up prayers online to say to God I decided to just speak from my heart, then suddenly this strange sounds started pouring out my mouth, a real powerful experience. This was accompanied with an explosion of joy which I had never experienced before in my life, I stopped speaking and started speaking again and the same strange sounds were flooding out with the joy still present. A couple of days later lying in bed I experienced this truly sensational feeling of peace for the first time in my life, It felt like a weight was lifted of my shoulders.
I’ve been freed of my addiction of trying to sleep with women
I've been freed of my addiction of watching fornication content
I've been healed of Migraines
I've been healed of hay fever
I no longer curse and swear
I no longer gamble
I no longer fight
I have a joy and peace in my life that I didn’t even know even existed
