Daniel Ahye
I can’t boast of living on the outside, dealing with grave situations in life or any other sufferer tale. My story should definitely not be told after another incredible Saul to Paul episode, for I faced life going through relatively few (compared to most) trials and tests with a pleasant lack of worldly exposure; smoking, drunkenness, sex - my curiosity is an ignored child. Just some really bad autobiography material…
Homegrown in the blessed island of Trinidad and raised in beautiful, ‘stable’ Christian home (we all have those embarrassing outbursts that we’d love to leave our memories.) with wonderful 
parents, who supported my siblings and me, amply providing for the family; blessed and positioned in respectable jobs. Not a whole lot far from the fantasy ideal.
I ‘gave my heart to Jesus’ from before I was properly settled in primary school but remained never really grew as a Christian until I almost completed secondary schooling (Naparima College). Even after growing in my personal relationship with God, I continued down a lukewarm path (Rev 3:16) until University (UWI, Mona).
During my 2nd year at UWI, I was invited to a weekly bible study by one of my close friends, and what an impact it made! After just a few weeks attending the study, which was just ‘charged’ with God’s anointing, it began to reveal to me how REAL the Word of God was and how focused my walk needed to be. It showed me that the bible told of the truth and that it was of great importance that I search it, consistently, and pray to gain God’s guidance in my life.
God went ahead to answer my prayers and bless me with Christian friends, something I was never familiar with growing up – we often deceive ourselves, thinking we can even grow closer to God and still have non-Christians as our closest friends. There is a reality to peer pressure, 
and it positively affected all of those in my undeserved circle of Christian friends, indeed nurturing a zeal for the Lord and for total obedience to Him. There are times now that I look at my relationship with God, and realize that this is what all those Christians kept talking about before!
Now, I so really desire to see unsaved/ lost souls/non-Christian people come to know the Jesus in the personal way he offers.
My spiritual journey has had its downs, ups always follow. I find it is very important for me to ensure I am not ‘stagnant’ in my experience. Distractions through the issues of life and the hindrance come from the devil, so that I wont fulfil my purpose; it’s his strategy to make me ineffective and defeated as a Christian…but Jesus is always encourages me to try harder.
So, my advice is, ‘FOCUS and work hard to get all that God has called us all to, in Jesus Christ!!

“The word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires.” Its interesting that the word is really what changed your heart……..your Testimony is the perfect demonstation that the word is fundamental in any christian’s life. Keep the word in ur heart always!!!!!!!

lukewarmness surely is a problem for most people of all ages.there is a need to be filled with fire but we are often afraid to be that way.but always keep the word in mind and remember that God is always there to push u forward when u feel like going back

When you meet someone new, the key to knowing them better is spending more time with them. Spending more time with God helps you in knowing him much better and draws you closer to him.
This will reduce the lukewarmness in your christian life. Cuz trust me it’s easy to stray if you are not focused. It’s not an easy road, especially for young people like us when peer pressure can be so high, and so much distraction. I’ve learned
Pray for me, while I pray for you to reduce the lukewarmness.

This is so profound and such a story that is familiar to many. For me, it’s not what I have done. it’s what I’m/was doing, I tend to feel as if I lost connection with God and then I want to turn my back, and that’s a problem, but I know that through earnest and sincere prayer we all can make it right with God. Your Testimony was a blessing, and one thing that stucked out to me was when you said, we decieve ourselves with the worldy friends but still call ourselves christians, but to further emphasive that point; we have the christendoms we have to look out for too, the ones that seem to help us in Christ but are really helping themselves help the devil.
But none-the-less, so many things we especialy as youths need to learn and accept; God is the ONLY way to go, without Him we really are lost.

Yup this is the case with most of us whose parents created that stable christian home.You know us who can’t remember when we first said the prayer of repentance.But what I do know,is that God still was working though we think us being in church long from so young had no impact.All the Bible stories you’ve learnt and christian camps you ever attended will be made to use during your trials.What is certain what you have mentioned is that when you really meet Jesus,as in though you’ve been hearing about Him from so long,but when you really meet Him,everything changes.Hold onto God,you will have ups and downs but H e is more real than the air we breathe,so know that He loves and understands you more than anyone else can or ever will.

Daniel, I respect the Godly desire you have to know Christ intimately in an increasing way, involving submission to him and the fulfillment of his purpose. Continue to be humble and he will exalt you in due season!

I’ve read this before but what just struck me-’My spiritual journey has had its downs, ups always follow.’ That’s a great reminder. Daniel just keep on being who you are in God my friend,and just watch how he’s gonna use you………….even greater that he’s using you already.

jus passing through and sayin God bless Daniel…this came to mind some hrs after reading ur Testimony…Ps37:23-4 .23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
.24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
God bless u & we look forward to great things from u.
