I was a lost soul, very much into hard drinking, partying and heavy metal. One night after drinking many beers and watching a Judas Priest concert on tape, I was hit with a feeling of total blackness and loneliness. It was the worst feeling I've ever experienced in my life. I believe now, that God was giving me a small glimpse of Hell and what it's like to be truly seperated from Him. I never want to feel that again! I prayed to Him then for release and I really don't know how long that feeling lasted, but after a time I was released from it. I called a prayer hot-line, I think it was a CBN one, and prayed the Salvation prayer with the person there. I got a vision of peace right out of Psalm 23. It was awesome! I'm not perfect, and I still stumble and fall, but now I have the patience and grace of the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ to help me through the tough times. Amen!
If you haven't accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord, King and Saviour, and you want Eternal Life, please pray this prayer! I can't emphasize enough how important this is! The only way to the Father and Eternal Life is through Jesus Christ!
If you prayed this prayer I urge you to get a Bible if you don't have one, and find a good Church that teaches about the Blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit! Maybe through a friend or aquaintance or even the Yellow Pages! It's very importatnt that you stay in the Word of God! If I can help, please message me!
There is one Name above all other names...who could it be? Is it....
Socrates or Voltaire?

Nope. Not the great genius Einstein either. Gosh, well surely it must be.....

CHUCK NORRIS!!!!!!!!
Nope, not even Chuck has the kind of power I'm referring to. The Name above all others is Jesus Christ. Invite Him into your heart today and experience the life changing power of His name!
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. - Ephesians 6: 10-18
READ AND HEED THESE WORDS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST! THEY'RE AS TRUE TODAY AS THEY WERE OVER 2,000 YEARS AGO!
In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him. - Matthew 3:1-3
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. - Isaiah 53:5
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16
"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. But he has risen! He is not here! See the place where they had put him.- Mark 16:6
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. The hired man is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when the hired man sees the wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired man. He does not care about the sheep."I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me. They know me just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I give my life for the sheep."I have other sheep that do not belong to this sheep pen. I must bring them in too. They also will listen to my voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd."The reason my Father loves me is that I give up my life. But I will take it back again. No one takes it from me. I give it up myself. I have the authority to give it up. And I have the authority to take it back again. I received this command from my Father. - John 10:11-18
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light - Matthew 11:28-30
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. - Psalm 34:7-8
