How I knew Jesus Christ
First of all my name is Brian Luciano,43 years old, an Online Teacher and a loving father and a husband. I am raised Catholic. I have always done what any Catholic will do, that is I go to church on Sundays, pray the rosary, etc. I thought I always had Christ with me. I also studied in a Catholic school in grade school, thus their doctrines stuck with me growing up.
I was always a staunch defender of the Catholic religion. There were people that tried to convert me in the university but I am still deeply rooted in my religion. I believe that the Catholic faith is the real religion.
It took me a long time a a very significant change in my life before I found him. I got married and had my first child in 2014. By 2015, my wife resigned from work thus leaving me the sole person to provide for my family. The mounting pressure of the only person to work proved too much for me that I wasn't able to meet the demands of my family. We were almost broke, and I blamed God for all my mischief. It was only then that I realized my mistake that I recovered with the help of our families.
Things got better in 2015. With the help of God and my family we were able to have a small birthday celebration for my daughter. Then December came, then I realized an emptiness fill me. It seemed that I really didn't know Jesus Christ. I longed for him. So instead of making the usual New Year's resolutions, I made this one:LORD, LET ME KNOW YOU MORE.
It took me until my 43rd birthday this year to buy a bible (KJV) and a bible guide in the Our Daily Bread. As I read the scriptures, I feel our Lord Jesus Christ working in me. I now feel peace, and there was contentment that happened. I became less reliant on the world. I knew that religion was not the key. At this point, I told my wife that we are leaving the Catholic religion. It was a bit hard at first, but my Lord Jesus Christ made it easy.
It was not yet complete as I still backslide from some sins. Then I knew the answer: the first person I prayed to accept Christ was my wife. She had a lot of anger issues and angst. I prayed hard to our Lord Jesus Christ to take that yoke away from her. She told me that she will accept Christ when the time is right. I was even in a hurry to tell her this, but you never hurry a believer.
Then one afternoon as I went home,she told me that she now accepted Our Lord Jesus Christ. She told me that while she slept she felt warm. Then she told me that it compelled her to pray and accept him in her heart. That is why I can't make the change: we are not two but one. This was the happiest day for us.
We thank the Lord Jesus Christ for coming to our home. Just as he has said, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
