Thank you for this honest testimony. May God use it to open the eyes of many. Why was Jesus not rich on earth, or his disciples or the apostle Paul? Our natural greed can easily blind our understanding to the fact that "the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." (2Co 4.18)
Excellent testimony from Elly Olare! And the best advice.....read your Bible yourself. Also, find a group to study together Seven Words You Never Want to Hear. It was a soul searching study for me.
Thanks for your kind words. I am new to interviewing so appreciate the encouragement. My goal was to ask the questions and to let Elly do most of the talking.
Oh my heart goes out to you for your tragic losses, Elly; but praise God he used them to open your spirit to a more faithful understanding of the gospel.
Thank you Elly for sharing your story of God's amazing grace in your life. I pray that many will come to know true salvation through your testimony. "The truth will set you free...so if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:32,36)
Praise God for HIS GRACE by saving Elly from the Word of Faith, Health Wealth and Prosperity distortions of scripture that are soo popular as they appeal to basic human desires. They feed the flesh and sinful nature. Saving him out of the devil's lies and into GOD'S TRUTH. As Elly said by quoting Galatians 1:6,7 ...are turning to a different gospel...which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. The Reformed understanding of the scriptures is the only correct one...as Elly is focused on now. Praise God for this. Unfortunately, the Word of Faith and Prosperity "gospels" are almost always wrapped up with Arminian heresy (I decided, received, believed to choose Jesus and thus my eternal destiny was ultimately in My Control) which again appeals to the flesh and sinful nature. There are many different teachings which seem to agree with some biblical passage or two, but are often contradicting several other passages and clear principles like denying your flesh, your will, your selfish/sinful/lustful pleasures and being content with who God made you to be and what God has given to you. As Elly said at the end of the interview, "Read your Bible"...and EXAMINED the Scriptures Every Day To See IF What Paul (or another preacher) Said WAS TRUE. Acts 17:11. God is Sovereign in everything. We are sovereign in nothing. So that God gets ALL THE GLORY HONOUR AND PRAISE. AMEN
