About Me
I am a believer in the Power of the Holy Spirit and in Jesus Christ, my Savior, whose name is above all names and worthy to be praised. I hope that by reading this testimony you will see the Power of God is real and can work in anyone's life, no matter what they were before He got ahold of them. Blessed be in the name of our Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ.
I once was dead in my trespasses and sins, including drug addiction and practicing black magic, self mutilation, sexual promiscuity and other equally damaging behaviors, before the Lord came to me and set me free from the bondage of sin. I had smoked cigarettes and weed for 10 years, during which time I had engaged in the use of acid, cocain, heroin, and alcohol, as well as intravenously using meth-amphedamines every day for a period of two years, at the end of which, on my 23rd birthday, left me feeling empty and alone and unable to change even though I hated my life as it had become.
When I was 21 and in jail (in God's pod) was the first time my heart was opened to recieve the gospel. I had heard it before, but never realy listened or understood it before. It was the first time I really felt the love of Jesus Christ touch me deep in my heart. It happened while some Christians from all over the world came to the jail and did a sort of drama skit with no words just music (similar to the video on this page) that had me in tears by the time it was over. I knew that God was not pleased with my lifestyle but even though I told myself I was going to quit doing drugs, it wasn't long after I got out of jail that I was right back in the drug scene full force. Things got worse and worse, and I began to feel like I was running from the truth and not only unsatisfied anymore by getting high, but also spiritually destitute and empty. I knew eventually I had to quit doing these things or I would end up in Hell. Getting away with sin can't last forever, because we can fool ourselves but we can't fool God.
He led me to leave behind my old life with all of its woes so that I could live a life filled with fulfilment and purpose. He gave me the strength to forsake my own way and the power to resist temptation and follow Him. Before I lived for myself, now I live for God.
Now I am 26 years old, practicing abstinance and have stayed clean from cigarettes, alcohol, and all drugs (including marijuana), and I grow in the Lord everyday by trusting in Him and seeking His way rather than my own. Studying the Bible and living out the truth in God's word challenges me to follow God and give Him all of me.
