The following is the testimony of Dani Pop,
a person whom I have had the privilege of knowing for
about 4 years now.
Dani has been a blessing and inspiration to hundreds with his
life and his testimony.
I am writing as this was translated... so
as not to distract from Dani’s sincerity.
It is his prayer that you will receive a blessing as you read
this.

TESTIMONY
OF DANI POP

My name is Daniel
Pop and I am 34 years old.
In my life was a moment when I have
against the God’s love and powers for me.
And I have to tell God,
" You are powerless over me
and you see that you can not do anything with me."
I was a religious
man and I was at church often,
and I believer that with this (going to church) and
good things what I have done... this is the way to heaven.
In the same time
when I was to church I had some friends
and with them I began to live a life that was not pleased before
God.
Because the movies and music and different kinds of sports began
to take important place in my life and my relationship with God
didn’t exist anymore.
In every day I have done the same things and I believed that
all this things make me happy and they give me fulfillment in my
life.
But they didn’t.
Growing up in the
church I had learned and knew what and where
can I find the true happiness and love.
In that time, God
spoke to me and in my mind I hear the voice of God
speaking to me a long time (like 8 months) saying:
" Dani, if you do not repent I put
you in bed like your sister."
(I have a sister when she
9 months old she has meningitis and
now she is 25 years old and she is like a baby. She does not
speak or walk).
One evening, when I
heard again the voice of God,
in my stubbornness I put myself in bed near my sister and I stay
there
for 2 minutes and after that I stand up and say to God,
"You see, you can do nothing... you
are powerless on me".
In my opposition
before God I had not obey my parents,
and without their will I have made a trip to the Danube without
knowing
what I will go through later. God, as a result of that, changed
all my life.
After only one day
we decided to go swim. I was on one side of
the bank to jump in water, but before jumping I hurt my leg in
the thorns
of the bushes. I lost my balance and fell into the river
on my head
an broke my spinal column and was paralyzed.
They took me to the
hospital in Constanta and after 4 days the doctors
sent me to the hospital in Bucharest. There the doctors checked
me
and said that they can do nothing for me. The second day a
brother
who was with me he was to tell the churches in Bucharest
to pray for me and fast.
After 2 days, on
Thursday evening, I was alone in my room
and all these days I had suffered a lot. It was too much for me,
but in
that time I had felt a hand who had touched my leg. I looked but
I did
not see anybody there. In that moment I had tears in my
eyes and
I know that God is with me. In that moment I feel that I
need God so much.
In all my stubborn and opposition God loved me all the time.
In that evening I
had remember all my past...
when I was disobedient with God so many times.
With tears in my eyes I said to God,
" Lord, I recognize that I am a
sinner and I know that I have
done sin against you. Please forgive me and I believe you
can change my life. Please come in my life."
After one moment I have heard the voice telling me,
" Dani, I am with you, I love you,
and I want to take care of you".
After that I was
yet in bed and I suffered, but in my life began true
happiness and that because I was not alone. I have began to read
the Bible,
I began to learn to be thankful for everything and to pray more.
After many years I felt better.
God teached me to obey His word and to encourage the people
who suffer like me, telling them about God’s love and
forgiveness
which was given to us through Jesus Christ.
