| Victory in Christ The Testimony of Gary Wurts |
At 4:30 in the morning on May 5, 1980 I
got saved, or as the Bible says, “Born
again.” But, before I tell you about it, let me
take you back in time, before I was saved.
At that time, I thought everything was alright
in my life. I always considered myself to be
a pretty nice guy. I was married, had two
kids, and thought that everything was good.
But, boy was I wrong! In fact, nothing was
right. I began to realize that if I died without
being saved, I would go to hell.
I would drink every night, seven days a
week. One night, while out drinking, I had a
got saved, or as the Bible says, “Born
again.” But, before I tell you about it, let me
take you back in time, before I was saved.
At that time, I thought everything was alright
in my life. I always considered myself to be
a pretty nice guy. I was married, had two
kids, and thought that everything was good.
But, boy was I wrong! In fact, nothing was
right. I began to realize that if I died without
being saved, I would go to hell.
I would drink every night, seven days a
week. One night, while out drinking, I had a
that she was going to take the kids with her. I told her, “That’s good for you and the kids,
but not for me.” And I told her to never ask me to go with her.
However, one day I did agree to go with her, so that I could say that I went and maybe she
would stop asking me. I started going more often and after awhile, I began to listen to the
sermons and felt as if the preacher was talking directly to me! I felt so strongly about this
that I asked my wife if she had told him things about me, and she replied that she hadn’t, but
I was convinced that she had. I realize now that it was God telling him things about me.
The Bible says, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” And I began to
hear and then I began to believe! The Holy Spirit was convicting me of my sins and I knew
in my heart that I was not right with the Holy God.
On May 4, 1980, I went to bed being lost, unsaved, and deserving to go to hell. But, I
woke up about 4:30 in the morning and began to think about my life. I knew I needed
Christ as my Savior, but I didn’t know how to pray. I was so miserable that I wanted to die
and I said, “Lord, cure me to kill me.” God always knows the heart and on May 5, 1980 at
4:30 in the morning, God saved me and wrote my name in the Lambs Book of Life, where it
remains to this day! I have now been serving the Lord for almost twenty-nine years and I
have never been sorry. My only regret is that I wish I had asked Him into my heart sooner.
In 1991, my wife Karen died and I thought my life was over. But, our Lord never shuts one
door without opening another. Then one day I met a woman named Brandy who has been
a blessing to me more than she will ever know. Not only did God give me a new wife, but
He also gave us a grandson, named Chase to raise as our own son. Chase has also been a
blessing more than he will ever know.
I pray that this testimony will be a blessing to you. God loves you and wants you to invite
Him into your heart.
Thank you for reading my testimony.
