A Spiritual Awakening That Never Seemed to Fade: Lessons from a Life Transformed
My name is Lynette Comma, and my life journey has been a whirlwind of challenges, unexpected spiritual experiences, and profound transformations. In this article, I’ll share my journey, including a spiritual initiation that left an indelible mark on my life and the enduring impact it had on me.
The First Spiritual Initiation - A Vision of Christ and Humanity
My first truly profound spiritual initiation occurred in the fall of 1974, when I, a young and impressionable eight-year-old, saw the world through the eyes of Christ and bodhisattva. This experience filled me with a love for humanity that mirrored the compassion of Jesus. At the time, I was enduring the pain of my parents' separation and the added responsibility of being a mother to my younger siblings. This enlightenment was a beacon of hope and understanding in a challenging time.
A Life of Perseverance and Faith
Life continued to be challenging for me. I struggled in elementary school, unable to learn as easily as others and often shamed by my teachers. But despite the setbacks, my faith remained steadfast. At the age of 24, I made a life-changing decision to give my life to Jesus Christ. I believed that God was making up for the terrible experiences I had endured as a child, and I felt a profound sense of gratitude for the many blessings in my life.
Spiritual Gifts and Ministry
God bestowed upon me several spiritual gifts through the Holy Spirit, which I tested and honed over time. I became an evangelist, a role that required me to share my faith with others, even prominent figures such as Barack Obama and Donald Trump. My ability to connect with people quickly and effectively grew stronger with each new outreach. This gift allowed me to effectively communicate the message of Christ and bring others into a deeper relationship with Him.
Personal and Professional Triumphs
My career was far from smooth sailing. At one point, I was fired from a temporary job, but the experience taught me the value of resilience and determination. I was soon hired by another company, where I worked for many years, passionately serving others. In the realm of personal ministry, I found great joy in evangelistic work, both alone and as part of a team. These experiences not only strengthened my faith but also deepened my compassion for others.
Deeds of Courage and Leadership
One particular incident stands out in my memory. While attending a business function, I embraced the President of our company out of respect and love, an action that initially caused a stir among my coworkers. However, the President recognized my pure intention and allowed me to continue my ministry unhindered. God used me in unique ways, both in my personal life and in my interactions with others, often in unexpected and powerful ways.
God's Purpose and Rewards
My spiritual journey has taught me the value of faith, courage, and service to others. Even in the face of adversity, I have remained steadfast in my commitment to spreading the message of Christ. Today, I am a prayer warrior, and I encourage others to embrace their faith fully, knowing that God will reward their efforts in both this life and the next. May we all use our gifts and opportunities to lead others to Christ and strengthen the Kingdom of light.
