I can understand one’s battle with God, with Jesus... For I myself battled with it for a long time... Then God came pounding on my door and I had no choice but to listen. It was about 4 years ago now and I was at a really tough point in my life. I had left New York and was out in California toying with the idea of becoming an actor. I felt a lot of anxiety in my life. It was not welcomed well as I was never really the type of person to worry about anything. I loved life! Enjoyed every second I had breath and didn't really let things affect me too much... But all the sudden, I found myself scared and disconnected. I remember waking up one day in the midst of it all and taking a ride with my uncle who was in town. Now this was my cool, wealthy uncle from Florida. So he rented this beautiful BMW convertible and we headed towards the beach… The top was down and I was about to dive into eating my bagel for breakfast when my uncle stopped me. He asked me if I minded listening to three songs before we ate. So I said, “sure”. He said a quick prayer and the music was on… It was this praise music! And he was blasting it! Heading down towards the beach with many around to hear. I remember thinking at first, “man this really really stinks…could I feel more embarrassed”! Then I started to listen to it and realized that it sounded like any other music I listen to. In fact it was really good. It was this awesome sounding love song with a very contemporary feel to it. By the time the third song hit, my entire body was shaking and filled with a peace I had never known. I started crying without any effort. The type of cry that overcomes you and renders you helpless… The type that one yearns for when they need that release. But it was even more then that. I felt this joy, this love that I couldn’t comprehend. I now understand what it was. My uncle had prayed that the Holy Spirit, God’s Spirit would come into my life...and that is just what happened…
Many things have happened since then and I hope to share all the miracles that God has done in my life as well as hear all the miracles God has done in all your lives. At first I thought of having my bio done by someone professionally for any and all fans out there, but then I felt God telling me to do something else. To speak to all of you that want to listen, from my heart, in the hopes that it will allow many of you to know that you’re not alone. God loves you more then you could imagine. I know it’s hard for one to understand this, just as it was when someone told me a long time ago how awesome God is. Without the experience, it’s hard to bring any relevance into your life. But I pray with all my heart that the Lord does touch your heart, as he did mine and so many others… In Jesus’ name…
So much more to say, but I leave you with this...
1Corinthians 2:9 “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him…”
What God desires most from us is our love and relationship…
God Bless… Chris
