Welcome to the good life. That's what C-LO thought as a youngster when he was growing up in sunny south Florida.
............................................................
......
C-LO was born in the US and raised in Miami-Dade county. As a child, C-LO had it all. A wealthy family, a beautiful home, loving parents, a good school and good grades. It all seemed so perfect. That's when things got ugly. An alcoholic & abusive father's actions began the descent of C-LO's family to be put to the test. Unlike the Jefferson's, they began moving every year to a worse neighborhood each time until they ended up in Carol-City. The section they lived in was unincorporated at that time so there wasn't even a regular rotation of policing in that area. The thugs knew this and they took advantage. C-LO underwent a culture shock and had to learn how to survive. With both parents at work trying to make ends meet, C-LO learned from the streets.
He learned how to hustle at an accelerated velocity.
You see, Miami is known for it's beaches and warm tropical climate. It attracts many tourists from all over the world. These tourists come to take a vacation and to do things that they normally wouldn't do in their own home towns. This in turn produced C-LO to live a fast-life. Money, drugs, fame and power were what this city had to offer a young boy who's parents came from different latin countries. Naturally, C-LO began to get involved with the non-sense. He often wondered if he would live to see 21 as many of his friends had passed away or were being locked up. Up to no good,
C-LO realized that he couldn't sleep at night.
............................................................
.........
In order to get away from all the drama, C-LO joined the military. Things seemed like they were getting better. He served 4 years in the US Air Force and received medals for his service to the US. It didn't take long for C-LO to begin to mingle with the people that most resembled his friends from the streets back in the M.I.A. Although he moved away from Miami-Dade,
C-LO began to get involved with the non-sense again. A couple of hours away from holding up a food store for all its cash, he began realizing that no matter where you go or where you're at, there is a constant battle between good and evil. That you can run, but you can't hide. That the Lord gives each and everyone of us free will to make our own decisions and choices. That it doesn't matter where or how you were raised, each of us is responsible for our own actions & decisions.
............................................................
....................
Desperate to change, C-LO went back to his room in the military dorms and got on his knees and confessed his sins to the Lord. He reconciled himself to God and asked the Lord Jesus Christ to take control of his life. That's when the Lord was able to begin healing him. The Lord later revealed to C-LO that He was always at the door knocking, but C-LO hadn't let Him come in. It's a personal choice that each person has to make as God gives us free will.
............................................................
.....................
After healing C-LO's heart, the Lord began calling him to share His message.
That's when C-LO changed the meaning and purpose of the letters of his name C.L.O. to stand for Christ Lives On.
............................................................
.....................
Yes it's true that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, however, He didn't stay dead. He resurrected on the 3rd day. Christ is alive! He defetaed death! Christ lives on, and that's Unbelievable! He is the resurrection. And to those who repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ and claim Him as their Lord and savior He gives eternal life........................................................
..........................
For this, C.L.O. is forever grateful....................................................
.......................
With the talents the Lord has given C.L.O., his mission is to transmit the truth which is Jesus Christ. With the Bible, which is the Lord's word, C.L.O. is out to bring forth light as there is so much darkness and deception in the world.......................................................
........................
This is only the beginning in C.L.O.'s ministry.
Tha Unbelievable C.L.O. stands for Christ Lives On, and that's Unbelievable!
