CHANGE
1.And as He prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered, and His raiment was white and glistering."
Luke 9:292.Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,but we shall all be changed,In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:51,523.Therefore If any man be in Christ, He is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17Change Is Always Proportionate To Your Knowledge."

MY TESTIMONY
HOW MANY DO I HAVE? I CANT REMEMBER ALL THE TIMES THAT THE LORD HAS DELIVERED ME FROM SOME FORM OF DESTRUCTION. SO MANY TIMES BEFORE I WAS SAVED AND AFTER I WAS SAVED.
I GREW UP IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY OF CALIFORNIA. I CANT REMEMBER TO MANY HAPPY TIMES. MOSTLY MY MOM AND DAD FIGHTING, BLOODY WALLS AND MY BROTHERS & I GETTING BEAT DOWNS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MY DAD WAS VERY ABUSIVE HE USED TO DRINK AND BEAT MY MOM AND US KIDS ALL OF THE TIME. THE LORD KEPT US SAFE BECAUSE HE HAD A PLAN AND A PURPOSE FOR EVERY ONE OF US! FINALLY ONE DAY WE ALL GOT SICK OF IT AND STOOD UP TO HIM. MY BROTHER TOLD HIM IF YOU WANT TO HIT MY MOM YOUR GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME. MY DAD TOOK A STEP TOWARDS HIM AND I JUMPED UP AND SAID YOUR GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME AS WELL. HE STOPPED IN HIS TRACKS AND LEFT THE ROOM. IT WASNT THAT HE WAS AFRAID OF ME OR MY BROTHER, I MEAN AFTER ALL I WAS JUST 10 AND MY BROTHER WAS JUST 14 YEARS OLD AT THAT TIME. I THINK ABOUT IT NOW AND THINK MAYBE GOD SENT AN ANGEL AND HE MAY HAVE CAME TO HIS SENSES FOR A MINUTE. WE ALL THOUGHT THAT IT WAS OVER AT THAT POINT. BUT ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER MY DAD WAS IN ANOTHER ONE OF HIS MOODS AND HE WAS YELLING AT MY BROTHER FOR SOMTHING. ALL OF THE SUDDEN HE COMES OUT OF THE ROOM WITH HIS GUN AND POINTS IT AT MY BROTHER. I NEVER WILL FORGET THE LOOK IN HIS EYES. IT WAS THAT OF SHEER TERROR! MY BROTHER CLOSED HIS EYES AND BEGAN TO BEG GOD TO SPARE HIS LIFE. MY DAD WAS ONLY 8 FEET AWAY AT THE MOST. THAT WAS WHEN MY DAD SQUEEZED THE TRIGGER FIVE TIMES. GOD HAD TO BE IN THIS BECAUSE NOT ONE BULLET HIT MY BROTHER THAT NIGHT! THAT WAS WHEN MY MOM TOOK US AND LEFT FOR THE LAST TIME. THOSE WERE THE FIRST MAJOR MIRACLES I HAD EVER WITNESSED, BUT I STILL DIDNT GIVE GOD THE GLORY FOR IT AT THE TIME. WE DIDNT REALLY KNOW GOD BACK THEN OUR PARENTS NEVER TOOK US TO CHURCH. SEE EVEN THOUGH WE DIDNT AKNOWLEDGE GOD HE STILL PROTECTED US FROM DEATH. SO THAT WE COULD FULFILL THE PURPOSE HE HAD CREATED US FOR. NOT THAT WE COULD HAVE JUST WAITED FOREVER TO CHANGE OUR LIVES BECAUSE GOD COULD USE ANYONE TO COMPLETE HIS WILL. HE JUST HAD ENOUGH MERCY TO ALLOW US TO TAKE AS LONG AS WE DID TO REALIZE HE WAS CALLING. PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS MERCY AND GRACE. BECAUSE IT SURELY COULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER WAY.
DURING THE TIME WHEN MY MOM AND DAD WERE GETTING DIVORCED MY MOM STARTED GOING TO CHURCH, OF COURSE I HAD TO GO WITH HER EVEN THOUGH I DIDNT WANT TO. BUT THANK GOD THAT I DID, BECAUSE I DONT THINK I WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY IF SHE DIDNT.........ONE DAY WHILE AT CHURCH MY BROTHER WENT UP FOR PRAYER AT THE ALTER CALL. I WENT UP WITH HIM AND WE BOTH PRAYED THE SINNERS PRAYER. THE PASTOR BEGAN TO PROPHECY OVER US AND HE SAID THAT I WAS A PREACHER AND NOT ONLY A PREACHER BUT THAT I WOULD ONE DAY BE A PASTOR. I WAS ONLY ELEVEN YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. I KIND OF LAUGHED AND SAID YEAH RIGHT! (IN MY MIND) I THOUGHT THERE IS NO WAY THAT GOD COULD USE ME.....IM TO YOUNG... AND BESIDES IM NOT THAT SMART. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK MY FLESH KICKED BACK IN AND I TURNED AWAY FROM GOD AND STARTED TO REBELL AGAINST EVERYTHING. I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO MOVE WITH MY DAD AND I WAS GOING TO HAVE LIFE MY WAY.
I DONT KNOW WHY I WOULD HAVE EVER WANTED TO LIVE WITH MY DAD AFTER ALL THAT HE HAD DONE TO US, BUT I GUESS I WAS DECIEVED BY SATAN. I WAS 12 YEARS OLD AFTER THE DIVORCE AND CUSTODY BATTLE. I WAS ALREADY SMOKING WEED AT THE AGE OF 11 AND TAKING SPEED AT THE AGE OF 12. I DIDNT REALLY CARE ABOUT TO MUCH BACK THEN. THE ONLY REASON I WAS GOING TO SCHOOL WAS TO GET HIGH AND SELL A FEW JOINTS. I STARTED SELLING WEED TO KEEP MY SUPPLY ON HAND AT FIRST. BUT WHEN I SAW THAT I COULD REALLY MAKE MONEY WITH IT, I STARTED SELLING MORE AND MORE. IT WENT FROM JOINTS AND NICKEL BAGS TO OUNCES AND QUARTER POUNDS IN NO TIME. I CAN REMEMBER SO MANY TIMES THAT I WOULD BE JUST LEAVING OR HAD BEEN DALAYED FROM GOING TO RECOP AT THE SUPPLIERS HOUSE AND A DRUG BUST WOULD TAKE PLACE. OF COURSE BACK THEN I DIDNT THINK GOD WAS ORCHESTRATING MY LIFE BUT I KNOW FOR SURE THAT HE WAS NOW.
I STARTED TO DABBLE IN COKE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND IT SOONED TURNED TO CRACK. WE WERE ABLE TO BUY THE COKE AND TRIPPLE OUR MONEY BY ROCKING IT UP. IT WAS A SURE WAY TO STACK CHIPS. WE HAD PEOPLE IN MODESTO, STOCKTON ALL THE WAY TO MERCED CA. DEALING THE STUFF. ITS ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT I MADE IT OUT OF THE GAME ALIVE. I CAN THINK OF SO MANY TIMES WHERE I BARELY ESCAPED WITH MY LIFE FROM SITUATIONS. FROM BEING IN GANG FIGHTS TO DRIVEBY SHOOTINGS BEING STABBED IN THE ARM AND SHOT IN THE BACK WITH A SAWED OF 12 GUAGE, BUT THE GUN WAS JUST OUT OF RANGE SO THE BUCKSHOT BARELY WENT INTO MY SKIN. THERE IS A TEN YEAR GAP IN BETWEEN THIS AND WHAT YOU SEE NEXT SO KEEP CHECKING BACK TO SEE THE CONTINUING STORY.......................................................
...............................................BACK IN 1994 I WAS PART OF A HUGE METH AND FENCING OPERATION GOING ON IN THE CA. CENTRAL VALLEY STRETCHING ALL THE WAY TO THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. I WAS ARRESTED FOR NUMOROUS FELONY ACCOUNTS AND WAS LOOKING AT A 15 YEAR PRISON TERM.
