This is the a picture of a man whose life was wrecked by Jesus Christ!
I didn’t get saved at an alter… I didn’t have a Pastor urging me to repeat a prayer.
I didn’t have a worship team singing quietly “I surrendered all!”
However, what I did have was an empty hotel room.
I had a 5th of Jack Daniel’s
I had an 8 ball of the best methamphetamine money could buy in Odessa Texas.
I had been up about 10 days and finally hit ROCK BOTTOM.
THANK GOD THE ROCK ON BOTTOM WAS JESUS CHRIST!
I went out to my truck and grabbed my 9mm. I still remember the taste of gun oil in my mouth and the metal grinding against my teethas I re-entered that room the door slamming closed on the disaster that was my life.
There was no waiting. I was done. I remember putting pressure on the trigger of my weapon ……. click was the report from the weapon.
I ejected the cartridge to find the primer on the round was center punched and there was no reason that weapon shouldn’t have acted as it did any time I fired it before.
BUT GOD!
I remember thinking that boy your so worthless you can’t even kill yourself with out screwing up!
It’s at this moment I felt the sweetest presence filled the room. For the first time in my life I truly prayed. I am not talking about a quiet little prayer …. it got ugly …for the first time I came to grips of my wickedness before God and my desperate need of the SAVIOR
“Lord if your real either change me or let me die but don’t leave me here!” I cried.
I lay there for what felt like minutes… however 2 days later when I woke up to the sound of staff pounding on the door , I had been saved sanctified and deliverd by the power of Jesus Christ!
Tho a Deadman lay on that floor a NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST NOW STANDS BY HIS MIGHT!
Since that day I have never had a thirst for dope or alcohol!
I met my Lord with dope on the table and whiskey on my breath!
I don’t know who you are but I know your there in that DARK PLACE. You feel hopless … It would just be easier just to end it all!
BE ADVISED : THE DEVIL IS A LIE!
JUST HOLD ON BROTHER !
JUST HOLD ON SISTER!I REBUKE THE SPIRIT OF SUICIDE FOR THE COWARD THAT IT IS….I BIND THAT THING IN JESUS NAME!
I’m here to tell you that you haven’t gone to far for JESUS CHRIST!
The picture above is my prison ID….. the culmination of 23 years lost in ADDICTION.
BUT GOD!!!
HE PICKED ME UP … SAVED .. SANCTIFIED …AND DELIVERD ME!
THEN HE CALLED ME TO PREACH THIS GOSPEL WITHOUT PRIDE OR PREJUDICE AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY!YES HE LEFT THE 99 TO FIND THE ONE AND HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU!
WILL YOU REPENT AND BELIEVE ?
TODAY COULD BE YOUR (BUT GOD) MOMENT!
