Christ. If I am indeed a Christian, then no one's words would

                                trump that of Jesus Christ! He is Boss over all! If I don't think
                                He's boss over all, then how can I call myself a Christian? A
                                Christian is a Christ-follower, but I had labeled myself a
                                Christian in the past when I did not know Christ. I did not
                                have the Holy Spirit dwelling in me. I was not saved. I did not

                                change before. I did not have the fruits of the Holy Spirit
                                before. I did not experience any change as a child when I was
                                water baptized or when I received confirmation. Instead, I
                                repented at the age of 38 after hearing the gospel of truth,

                                like Ephesians 1:13 KJV states,  “In whom ye also trusted,
                                after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
                                salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were
                                sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.”

                                       However, I went to another mass, but I couldn’t stop
                                crying, so I had to leave. I had been scared that God was going

                                to be mad at me for leaving mass, but He wasn't mad. I began
                                praying for God to show me where to go to church. I heard a
                                thought run through my mind, “Remember that church
                                you’ve driven by for years and have always felt an urge to
                                attend? Go to that church.” I had remembered in reading

                                Gondwe's deliverance book to look for a church whose
                                leaders and members showed the fruits of The Holy Spirit.

                                       “But  the  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is  love,  joy,  peace,

                                       patience,  kindness,  goodness,  faithfulness,
