Testimony – Ravinder & Manaia ❀️🎚❀️

It is nearly 5 years ago that I’d come to spiritual calling after a near death experience with my youngest child Manaia who was only 5 years old. We were living on our tug boat ‘Rana’. It was on this particular Independence Day 4th July 2016, as we were walking along the gangway towards our boat, we’d both fallen through these dodgy panels, dropping 40 feet into the river. It was a miracle from God how we’d both survived that day!
I’d suffered from PTSD as a result of this accident and through my recovery process during my isolation for a period of 2 years I was led to read the bible and developed an intimate relationship with our Lord. Following Jesus isn’t an easy path, and I wasn’t going to give up either. I was put on trials and tribulations and He reminded me the book of Job, every time I’d doubted the whole process. I had to through pain and persecution which strengthened my faith and passion for Christ. My old self was stripped away and I have completely transformed since this horrific incident. I was born into the Sikh religion in flesh but now I have reclaimed my true identity in spirit, through my Faith and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Previously I was into the new age ethics, practising various ideologies of the occult, eastern mysticism, yoga and esoteric philosophy which took me deeper into the rabbit hole. I was very aware of the counterfeit supernatural experiences I had in my life but now I operate in the phenomenal power of the Holy Ghost. Praise God!!!
With my new eyes, I can clearly see the real deception on how society has been programmed and manipulated through the illusion of obscure words and imagery.
I humbled myself, surrendered and repented all my sins to our Messiah and He delivered me from the darkness I was subjected to. The transformation from this cockney potty mouth, pot smoking person to a complete change in my heart was immediate. No one shared the Gospel with me neither did I attend a church building.
I praise and worship our Father Abba for showing me the Narrow Path of Salvation through His Grace & Mercy. I know God will continue to use my broken vessel for his Glory as he mends me every day.
It has been a challenging journey which I have documented as my Testimony video and incorporated into my recent art work. (YouTube Channel: Draw to Restore – ‘Mother & Daughter Testimony’) www.drawtorestore.com
Manaia & I, live our lives according to God’s Will and on our regular walk-abouts we evangelise to whomever God gives us permission to do so.
Recently both of my boys ages 29 and 18 have been saved too. Hallelujah, God is Great! 
The first time I’d picked up my KJV 1611 bible I was led to read this scripture below:

“He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.”
Psalm 18:16-21 KJV
