Andrew’s Testimony

My journey with Jesus began when I (Andrew) was five years old when someone told me that Jesus died for my sins so that I didn’t have to be separated from God forever in hell. I put my faith in Jesus to save me and receive his forgiveness of my sins. Mostly, my faith was in something that Jesus did for my future.

However, when I was nineteen years old, the reality of the power of the gospel became real to me! Someone told me that I actually died on the cross with Jesus; he took my sins into the ground and buried them destroying any power that they had over my life. That same someone told me that Jesus didn’t stay dead, but he rose from the grave and is alive today and has given me a new life to live in/with him. I wanted that! This good news of my new identity allowed me to live from a place of freedom. I didn’t have to try to be free of my sin, I was free. This new reality delivered me from an addiction to lust and showed me that life with him was not theoretical, but powerful – and PRESENT (Galatians 2:20, Romans 6, Ephesians 2:4-10).

When I was thirty-two, someone told me that Jesus’ ministry of healing, deliverance, kingdom proclamation, and baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire wasn’t just in the past but was intended for all his disciples that follow him. The Holy Spirit is at work today manifesting his gifts through signs, wonders, power, healing, deliverance, radical generosity, love, freedom, and building up the church, all to demonstrate God’s father love and the good works of the Kingdom. Jesus freed me and healed me from strongholds of abandonment, levels of anxiety, deep rooted hurts, and taught me that I am a son with a good Father who loved me and is walking with me through life. Around that same time, I learned what it means to be baptized in the Spirit and regularly filled with the Spirit, walking in the power of the Spirit to minister and live with his character and love (Matthew 28:16–20, Mark 16:15–18).

And, that’s how Crucified Living got its name from one of the passages in Scripture that changed my life and continues to: Galatians 2:20.

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

My new identity comes from being in Christ – and yours can to. To be “in” Christ locationally means to be crucified, buried, and raised to new life with Christ. That’s what Jesus made possible! Just like a farmer gets his identity by living and working on his farm, I have gotten a new identity by receiving from Jesus all of who he is and does. Because it’s true, it’s life changing! We want you to experience that today! Come join us in this journey of following Jesus! It all starts with getting a new life from Him!
