A Changed Life

When Manuel Pumisacho of Quito, Ecuador accepted Christ as Savior, he was so drunk he could barely walk! Pumisacho, a Quichua Indian from Zambiza, Ecuador, had just left his favorite bar. As he staggered down the street toward home, Pumisacho began to sense God's presence. "Why am I like this?" he thought, remembering times his Christian brother-in-law had shared his faith with him. "If there's a God who loves me, I'd like to know him."

Pumisacho started crying and fell on his knees. "Lord, forgive me of my sins," he prayed. "Change my life. I want to be a good man." Immediately, Pumisacho no longer felt drunk! "In that moment, a miracle took place," he says. "I sensed that alcohol no longer had control of me."

His wife noticed the change as soon as she saw him. Often when he came home drunk, she'd run to hide so he wouldn't abuse her. But tonight it was different. "I told her Christ had changed my life," Pumisacho recalls. "I said, 'Please forgive me, I'm not going to hit you anymore, I love you.'"

Twenty years later, Pumisacho is still a changed man! He has been a pastor for years leading others to Jesus Christ in Ecuador. Do you need change like this in your life? The Apostle Paul who experienced an immediate change like this in (Acts 9).

2Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Why don't you sincerely pray now like Pumisacho did and just ask Jesus to change you? There is no better time as the present.

Prayer;
Dear Father in Heaven I pray that as Manuel prayed; there is a lot more that want to know You and the one they are asking to heal them is the one we celebrate now as His birthday, yes; it is the same one and He can save you today as well as back then. Why are you waiting? There is no time as the now.
In the name of Jesus. Amen
