“I Got Saved In A Mailroom!”
My Testimony by Terry HillLet me tell you a story of my life. I have many, but I’ll tell you a very life changing one. It’s about when I finally acknowledged “GOD ALMIGHTY” in my life. It happened in 1994, at the age of 34, at the place I worked…the electric company administration building in Pleasantville, New Jersey.
I got saved! Meaning, I believed! And, I asked the Lord, Himself to come into my life. He rescued and delivered me from the dominion and power of darkness. You see, I knew of this God. My family was Baptist. We all were taught to honor and respect this God. Still, I really knew nothing about this God. And when I got saved and delivered, I came to know Him as a “Father”, not just God. My Father, He was now. He (who chose me) became… “My Father”, who art in Heaven. And, “I” Terry Hill, His child…a son. I became a “Son of God.” You, see, this changed my life. “God Became My High” I was Lost in this dark world, smoking marijuana every day (from morning to night), drinking alcohol (all over the place), and puffing cigarettes (every day). I was out there, deep in the world---partying, selling drugs, and not caring about what I was doing. I lived in darkness! Even then, with all that I was doing, I knew inside of me, there was something more about that God. God was calling me from within my heart and spirit. I just didn’t know how to change my life. I didn’t know how to find my way out of the darkness! But God knew, He called me out of the darkness into His wonderful light. He sent a “light” across my path, and into my life, which He had done so many times before, using one of His children. This time, the light He used was a man named Terry Clark. Elder Terry, the name I would later know him by, and I worked in the same building, but different departments. We had talked a lot in the past. I knew it was something very different and special about this man. One night, at work, Elder Terry simply asked me---If I wanted to be saved. No one had ever asked me that before. Immediately, I said “yes”, not knowing, or expecting that, where that “yes” from me…came from. It was my spirit from within me that was crying out to the Lord, “Save Me!” Elder Terry asked me to meet him at the Mailroom Department where he worked. I had a phone call to answer. At the time, I was the Housekeeping Supervisor. I told Elder Terry I would meet him in there. On my way to the mailroom, my thoughts sorted. This was a “Man of God.” What was going to happen? Where was it going take place? My thinking was we were going to leave the building and go to some nearby church. Mind you, this was about 9pm at night. But when I got to the mail room, there was Elder Terry waiting for me with this small bible in his hand. He asked me was I ready to accept the Lord (God) in my life. Now I’m thinking, “here, in this place, right now, where we are?” He began to explain the “Prayer of Salvation” to me. And, then prayed it to me, instructing me to speak the Words of God from Romana 10:9, 10---which I did.” “I got saved!......in a Mail Room” “To Be Saved”, means one must confess “Jesus is Lord” with one’s mouth and believe it in one’s heart. Born again just literally means “Born from Above” That night a “Spiritual Transformation” had taken place inside of me. A “New Birth” had occurred. They were Words of Life to my Spirit and Soul---Eternal Life. I had asked the Lord God to come into my life as my “Lord and Savior. He forgave all my sins. The Bible says in Colossians-1:13 – |
