The Testimony of Angelina Shcherbakova

Angelina testifies:

“God has spoken to me!”

In the name of Jesus Christ I want to share my happiness and tell you how the Living God, acting on the Earth through His people, revealed Himself to me, how He showed His great mercy to my soul: He called me and set my feet on His True Way – the Way of Peace of Love. 

 Like all people I thought, “There is God”, but I did not become a believer until I was forty years old. That’s why I didn’t want to change anything in my life then, when I was just over twenty years old. But the Almighty God does not consult man and does everything according to His Will. Who can know His ways? And then, in the summer of 2004, I came from Moscow to the town of Kovel in Ukraine. The believers of the Kovel Church invited me for dinner. I went there and was introduced. Soon God’s minister preached and invited all those present to pray. Everybody started praying, but suddenly the prayer stopped, and through the church minister God started speaking to me expressing Himself in poetic form, in pure English, with the subsequent interpretation, that means a translation into Russian. The pronunciation of words and the structures of sentences were grammatically perfect. I was amazed at such nice English pronunciation and correct translation. And after the prayer had ended, I was surprised even more, as I learned that neither the minister through whom God had spoken to me nor anybody among the people present there knew English. A part of God’s appeal, which was revealing the secrets of my heart, was understandable only to me. I was very impressed. It made me think, and I was amazed that God could speak through His people in such a miraculous way. He opened my thoughts and even more, the feelings of my heart, although no man alive in the world could have known all this. This mysterious appeal of God in pure English (as described above) concerned my destiny and my future. Before that, I could not even imagine such a thing. My heart was filled with reverence and awe since God Himself said to me how I should live in the future. I thought, and now I believe, that if God spoke so precisely about my past, then everything He said about my future was true as well.

Wonder-struck I came home to my grandmother, as I needed to decide to serve the Lord now, though I had other plans for my future life. I clearly understood that everything must be decided very specifically, as nobody and nothing could be hidden from God, as He knows everything and acts in His people. And I took my first step to Him – I decided to serve the Lord. After this, God came even closer to me – He baptized me with the Holy Spirit, having granted me THE GIFT OF SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES (languages). On the day when the Holy Spirit descended upon me, my heart was filled with continuous joy about which I had never heard from anyone before. That’s why I want to share with other people these feelings which the merciful Lord has granted to me. Imagine that you feel a continuous covering of calm over your heart, and such elated feelings that you cannot express in it words – God is with you, your God, Who cares about you, loves you and you want to praise Him all the time. You look up at the sky and think: “My God is there! And He sees me among millions of people and hears me, even when I am underground in the subway! How sweet it is to be in fellowship with Him!” There is nothing difficult in serving Him. There is no self-restraint, there is nothing you long for and must not do. And it is as if I had lived in these feelings forever.  

Before this I had had many things but my soul didn’t find rest in anything. Could I be distracted from the unrest of my soul? Yes, for a time I could, but I never knew continuous rest and joy. And today, when I think about the fact that everything received from God is granted to me not just for a year, not for 10 years, but forever and for eternity, I understand that God is good and, if I was without Him, I would have never known about this and would have spent my time in vain thinking that I was living …

I wish all people living on the Earth would know that God is LOVE. He loves us all and waits for every single soul, whoever the soul is. Maybe just one step, just one thought separates you also from rest for your soul which GOD is granting already now at this minute to those who love HIM. Nothing can be compared with this! 

Glory to the Lord God for everything! Amen!
