After having been in a Baptist church for over 20 years,
-
Having been pianist/organist since the age of 12 -
-
Having holding teaching positions for years –
-
Having raised my children in church
 I was unsaved, but I didn’t know it. I was a ‘good
girl’, did
and said the right things, honored my parents, popular in the community,
and had the respect of my peers, yet I was ‘lost’.
I was married to Hayse Moss for 10 years before he got
saved. He had never been to church with the children and me during these
years, yet he was a good father and husband. A good moral person.
His experience with God, how He came to him in a pasture
and Hayse realizing he had no other choice but to serve God, was not the
traditional way to get saved. I tried to get him formed into the ‘mold’
I was in, but this never happened. There was such a change in him that I
knew it had to be God. God worked with him in such a way that I knew I did
not have what he had gotten from God. I didn’t know what was missing
until I realized I had never ‘confessed that I was a sinner and asked
God to save me".
Within a year from the time Hayse was saved and the time
he started preaching the gospel was a short year. God saved him in the
fall of one year and he surrendered to preach on March 10 of the next
year. There were many changes that had to take place in my life because of
my beliefs that I had learned over the years. I had had 11 years of
piano/organ and could only play by music. God even gave me a different way
of playing music. I have been playing for over 50 years and learn
something new every time I play.
God put me back to work, after having been home with my
children for 9 years. God had given us four beautiful and healthy children
the first ten years of our marriage. But now His time had come for us all
to be used for His kingdom.
After I was saved I thought this was all I needed. I knew
Hayse was going a different way than I knew.
The Holy Ghost was something for people like him that
really needed to be changed, but not me. I felt that I had just ‘grown
into’ my salvation. I had good credentials and being saved was all I
needed.
Over a short period of time I saw hundreds of people
receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
THIS I DID NOT NEED. I felt secure because I was saved and
that was enough.
However, I saw in the scriptures where God commanded that
we receive the spirit of God.
I remembered the change in Hayse, my friends, my children
and I knew there was more. I had seen miracle after miracle how God worked
it out for this ministry to take place.
After my experience with the Holy Ghost, my life turned
completely around. God was so merciful to me all the years that I thought
I was saved but I wasn’t.
Over the years that has been one area of people’s lives
that I have prayed for. Once you have been in a position like I was, I
could recognize the lack in a person’s beliefs.
I
praise God for the many years of serving Him that He has allowed me to be
a part of. I have always been behind and in the shadows of the ministry of
Hayse Moss and the Double Portion Church. I have tried to do and use the
abilities that God gave me to uplift and promote the message of salvation
and deliverance that has been the base of Double Portion Church.
If there only were one thing that I could say to someone
by my testimony, it would be to search your life and be sure of your
salvation. Don’t go on ‘false security’ salvation or don’t be a
‘Hitchhiker’ on someone else’s.
