Mary Baggett's Testimony

Mary’s Testimony

At Second Baptist Church we sing a song titled “ People Need the Lord”. I want that to be the theme of my testimony. All people need the Lord Jesus Christ and He is willing and able to give us what we need.

I don’t have a testimony of deliverance from drugs, alcohol or sexual sin. My siblings and I did have a dysfunctional childhood. I think that because of the addictions we lived through and the consequences that ensued, I wanted no part of those lifestyles. But, I was still a sinner. I needed the Lord. In March of 1974, during a revival, my husband and I were saved on the same night. I will never forget the feeling that flooded me. It was as if the weight of the world had been lifted off of me. I wanted everyone to know my good news.

I wish I could say that life was just perfect after my salvation. But, that’s not Biblical. The Bible says “it rains on the just and the unjust”. Circumstances of living cause a lot of different emotions. But the Joy of the Lord never ceases. God gives a peace that passes all understanding.
With this Joy and Peace and reading God’s word and Prayer, we can make it through.


Now I’ve said that I did not get involved in the “bad sins”. (To God, all sin is “bad sin”) But, what if I had? Or more importantly, what if you have? You are a sinner just like me. Without salvation from Jesus, sinners are headed to an eternity without the Lord in a devil’s hell. Are you stuck in the miry clay of bad choices and day to day living and feel like you can’t get out? Do you think that you are so far gone that even Jesus can’t or won’t help you? You just need the Lord. Please let me direct you to my Lord Jesus Christ. I promise you with all my heart that He is the Answer to all of your needs. He loves everyone of us and has a wonderful plan for your life.

I thank God for the life He has given me.
