I want to give all the glory and all the praise that I even have a testimony! That is amazing and so beautiful of God Almighty to have reached down to the pit of self and rescue me! I love Him more than I can express and I owe Him my everything....He has saved my life!!! Before hearing this message of Truth, I was always focused on the wrong thing, the negative thing, the thing that I didn't have. I didn't want to be like that, but I didn't know how else to be. I was soooo sad all the time and full of sorrow as I would know that things in life and in my life weren't right, but again, I never knew how to get out of myself. I cried all the time and that would make me focus more on myself which was a continual downward spiral of self pity and sorrow that I knew no real end to. There were better times, but they were short lived and I never knew true peace until hearing this message. Before there was torment and voices of people telling me what to do and the accusing voices of demons lying to me to keep focusing on myself. I went from tape to tape, ministry to ministry, book to book, I could do word studies in Greek and Aramaic, but NOTHING EVER TAUGHT ME TO CHANGE MY HEART!! Until taking a Weigh Down class. My whole life changed and my eyes were truly opened to see that I could change even while my circumstances remained the same, or got worse! I used to wake up every morning with the voice of what went wrong the day before playing a continual loop in my head. Now I wake up to unspeakable JOY! LOVE! and I-CAN'T-WAIT-TO-GET-OUT-OF-BED-TO-BE-WITH-GOD bursting out of my heart!!!!! I am not kidding!!! I LOVE MY LIFE WITH GOD!!!! He answers prayers and shows me what to think about and then what to do to please Him and that is ALL that matters to me now. If I think I have hurt Him or disappointed Him in any way, I cannot stand it. I have found my purpose in life, and in living for something bigger and way better than self. It is true peace. It is looking at everything with a whole new perspective and that rocks because the way I was perceiving things before wasn't affecting anything positive at all. Relationships are so much better as I seek to serve rather than to be served, love instead of be loved, give instead of receive. The only pain I feel now is when I know I've caused God any pain, and I cannot stand it until I make things right again. It is so fun to be A-L-I-V-E!!!! for the first time EVER!!!!!! The WEIGHT of pounds (60) the weight of sorrow, the weight of drowning in feelings, the weight of self is FOREVER GONE!!! AS I CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON GOD AND WHAT HE WANTS!!!! I LOVE this message of Truth, I LOVE this messenger of Truth, Gwen Shamblin, who always points us to God Almighty Who IS TRUTH!!! He is AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AND FORGIVING AND LOVING AND GRACIOUS AND TO BE LOVED, HONORED, AND PRAISED FOR EVER AND EVER AND EVER!AMEN!!!!! With much love and thankfulness, Diane Gauker
