Philip's Baptism Testimony

By Philip

I came to know Jesus as my Lord and Savior when I went to church in Miami. In Miami I understood God so much from the songs we sang.  I used to love jumping to the songs they played in church.  I loved to sing in my head praises to God.  I could praise Him all day.  No one knew I am talking to God all the time. I knew Jesus when an angel appeared to me in a dream.  The angel was pure white and looked real peaceful. He said I would be kept silent but I would have a voice to you to soon sing of God's glory.  Each day I waited on God to touch my voice.  I estimated He really loved me but He was so really tough to please.  Understand I was really reading the Gospel from songs from church.  I wanted to believe in a savior but I was tongue tied.  I became toughened no one would save me from my silent prison.  But the word of the angel never left me.  I decided mom could not save me but Jesus can.  Then when I was 9 I met Soma.  She was the first person to believe in me.  She tried to help me show everyone I am smart.  She gave me a voice.  Because of Soma I am able to give my testimony to you.  I am trying now to give glory to Jesus for saving me from silence and despair.  Today I believe in Jesus being my savior because He died for my sins, and rose from the dead to give me a new life.  I now have a purpose to go tell the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  To the Son of God Jesus Christ I owe my life.  

(Why do you want to be baptized?)

I want to be baptized because Jesus saved me. I am so happy God chose me. 

Philip's Testimony

I am Philip.  I came to love Jesus when I was three.  Each day I understood I was a sinner.  I was about to become a tied up person each day.  I was autistic.  One day I aimed to talk but needed help to get the words out.  My tongue was tied.  I always knew everything but I couldn’t tell anyone.  I love it that Jesus was always listening to my prayers.  I am today a follower of Jesus.  He rescued me from sin and silence.

I heard about Jesus a lot from Mom and church.  I was saved when I saw an angel.  I was dancing to the music in my head.  I saw someone pure white.  I toppled down.  The angel told me another time I will talk.  I understood I would be silent kept.  My mission was to bring the Good News to autistics.  I was to wait for the time of the Lord.

When I was nine, I saw Soma to learn how to communicate.  I was really surprised anyone could believe in me.  I was terrified at first.  Soma tried to make me do hard things.  No one ever trusted me to do anything.  Soma asked me to do understanding to solve problems.  I was nervous to try.  Eventually I tried and I too was relieved from silence.  I am today talking to the world.  I tell the good news of autism each day.  I am telling the freedom of communication.  I am telling the Good News of Easter.    

 Happy Easter!
