Former BYU Professor Testimony of Finding Jesus

maika got off that plane we just couldn't imagine that he really had the spirit of the devil in him they also told us that and insinuated that he was Nano Christ and then asked us to bring him in front of the High Council the next morning and Mormonism that would have met had he professed the biblical Jesus he would have been excommunicated from the Mormon Church Mike and I were thoroughly confused about what was going on and within a couple of days we put him on a plane and got him out of Utah our lives were completely in turmoil we still had kids in Mormonism now we've got a Christian son I don't know if God has to do it with everyone but he had to take me solo stripped me of everything humbled me and take me facedown Micah said to us before he got on the plane mom and dad please read the New Testament I think he knew that there was such power from the spirit in the word and Mike and I began to sit up nights in bed reading the New Testament the very first thing I read was John 1:1 in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God Jesus was God from the beginning he can't have worked his way to God either he worked his way to God or he was you know and all of a sudden God just opened my eyes to the fact that this gospel that Jesus himself taught was not the gospel of Mormonism and after 10 months of just being consumed by the word just wanting and hungry for this Jesus of the Bible the one that came down and dwelt among us the one who fulfilled the law the one whose love never fails there was a moment I read in John 6:44 it said no one comes to me unless the father who sent me draws him and I knew I was being drawn to Jesus and then I read John 5:24 which says very truly I tell you whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life and there was a point in time when I had had enough of myself and I had no idea what Jesus was doing with our lives but I laid face down and I surrendered the rest of my life to the God of the Bible he began to show himself as being really large my husband who's at the camera back there was a few months behind me the next year I left BYU on a leave of absence God supernaturally arranged another job and it has been quite a journey trying to get extricated from all those years of teachings that weren't true and get enough get washed by the water of the word so that I could feel solid again I started to feel solid about two years ago and then God did the most amazing thing Zondervan the Christian publisher actually asked me to write the story from my point of view and it has the testimonies of all the band and myself in it talks about the turmoil and how difficult it is and what our lives were like in Mormonism we're already hearing from people that are coming to know Jesus by this book it's called unveiling grace it's only been out about three weeks and Amazon was out in two and a half days and God has just continued to open doors we were on 700 club and you know my life has just completely changed and it is a result of picking up your cross and following Jesus which we are all asked to do we give him all the glory in his name
