"From an IV drug user X convict who looked down on Christians to binge a follower of the one and only God."
I never went to church, and I was always in trouble, using drugs and committing felonies at 11 years old.
I did 12 years in maximum security state and federal prisons.
When I wasn’t in prison, I climbed trees for a living, and I was narcissistic.
I thought religion was what weak people leaned on because they were afraid of life.
Hit my late 30s, and my wife suggested we go to AA to get sober, I thought that was a great idea because I knew she needed help if our marriage was going to last.
I met a higher power in AA but hadn’t met Jesus yet.
Two and a half years sober we split up I got drunk and loaded and ended up in jail
Afraid because I see where I was headed we started going to church at 40 I was baptized had six kids was still married to the same beautiful wife,
But he still didn’t fully open my heart to Jesus.
Two and a half years later, my wife and I split again because of her drug use, and I ended uploaded again.
Then after a lifetime of pain and sorrow, I saw that if I wanted Jesus, I needed to surrender to him in all my ways, not most or a few, in all my ways!!
So I did two and a half years ago, and now I run a very successful business my family is all healed we go to church 3 times a week.
I’ve witnessed miracle healings, and I experienced a Miracle healing in my spine last year.
Doctors were calling me daily for spinal surgery after my MRI came back, and I took my issue to the alter and literally felt my spine heal.
My arm After months of being limp was able to move.
That’s only a tiny bit of what the Lord has done in my life and the lives of my wife and kids.
We are on the board of our Church today from 17 felony’s to being on the board of our church
Only God can make moves like that.
Today Jesus comes before everything, before wife kids business everything!!!
We love him, and he provides all our needs.
I start my day with Jesus putting on his full body armor, and I lean on him all day, and at night I’m in the word and worshiping him continuously.
He saved a wretch like me.

I pray my brief story touches one person and gives them hope.
And remember Proverbs 18:21, there is the power of life and death in your words.
Speak life into every situation.
God bless every one of you.
