About

Well…here goes…My story is very common… I was in my mid twenties a batchler with one of the best jobs in the state making top money…my own apartment… a new car… etc… living the life.. doing my thang.. I had women friends who I would see...I was clubing on the weekends...using alcohol & weed at my leisure… not to mention I went to church as usual every Sunday as I had done since I was a little boy. I was an active member…I knew scripture… but as time went on I began to realize that how I walked in my lifestyle outside those four walls , did not look anything like the bible described a Christians walk ( I really wasn’t a Christian) So from time to time I would, in a moment of reflection ,try to do better. In all my trying as the years rolled by…I would pray that I wouldn’t wait too long… that is... to make Jesus Lord of my life ...well … back to my story…one night in my apartment trying to wrap my head around a no little situation I had got myself in with the police and a future court date…I began to reflect on my life in general…in every direction I looked there were seemingly innocent lifestyle decisions that I had made and was making that had the potential to take me out… (there is a way that seemith right unto man)...while in reflection I wondered why this was… I’m not a bad person (I thought) … at some point I thought of a scripture that I had heard all my life…1 Peter 5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour That reference to Satan had always been just that… a reference…I never attached real meaning until that night… I thought, What if all along Satan has been trying to destroy me through my own choices …? I’m just playing right into his hands by doing my thang…I was filled with fear when I realized I had no real control …But then I thought … If Satan is real…then God must be to … and according to scripture God is all powerful… I realized at that point that I had a belief issue… So I began to pray… “God …I don’t know if you are real… but come into my life and save me…I’m ready…and through trying to do my own thang… Before I knew it I was changed I became a voracious bible reader…I witnessed to everyone I came in contact with… I was so caught up I had to strain to remember what I used to be like…under Satan's grip...I like Paul was helped by a Sunday school teacher and other Christians in my sunday school class to understand what happened to me… my teacher Ms Criswell (Rip) used the scriptures...Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things are passed away; behold, new things have come." (2 Corinthians 5:17). But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12). But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 cor. 12:9 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Phil. 4:13 I began to realize that He the (Holy Spirit) had come in and began to guide my life… To this day I am amazed at how God works when I yield to Him… I will never let go His hand… PS... THE EARTH IS FLAT and MOTIONLESS RESEARCH FLAT EARTH!!!
