Please lift me up in prayer, I am very sick.

I WAS DEAD… BUT JESUS BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE!

I was a drug addict, an alcoholic, and living a life of crime from a young age. By the time I was a teenager, I was already deep into drugs, violence, and trouble with the law. Nothing could change me. Programs couldn’t fix me. People couldn’t reach me.

I WAS LOST

Then one day, after getting out of jail, I went right back into that life. I flew across the country to restart a drug operation—and everything went wrong.

During a deal, I was brutally attacked. I was pistol whipped, beaten with bats, pipes, and left for dead.

I was pronounced DEAD ON ARRIVAL
But Jesus had another plan.

I was brought back… and placed into a 40-day coma. My injuries were so severe that doctors removed one-third of my brain and told me I would never walk or talk again. But after 40 days… I woke up.

And the first words out of my mouth were:

Thank You Jesus

Not anger.
Not confusion.
Gratitude.

Because I knew—I shouldn’t be alive.
God restored me. He healed me. He taught me how to walk again, talk again, and live again.

But more than that—He saved my soul.

He took a man who was dead… and gave him life.

He took a drug addict… and made him a pastor.

He took someone the world had written off… and sent him across the nations—Africa, Uganda, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Belize—to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is not my story.

This is what Jesus does.

He saves.
He restores.
He calls.
He sends.

If you feel too far gone… you’re not.
If you feel broken… He restores.
If you feel like your life is over… Jesus is just getting started.

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose
.
IF JESUS DID IT FOR ME…HE CAN DO IT FOR YOU!

Remember What the Lord Has Done

Scripture

Joshua 4:6–7 (NKJV)
That this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, What do these stones mean to you Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.


Do Not Forget God’s Faithfulness

Joshua chapter 4 takes place immediately after Israel crosses the Jordan River on dry ground. God commands Joshua to have twelve stones taken from the riverbed and set up as a memorial. These stones were not decorative. They were intentional reminders of God’s power, faithfulness, and deliverance.

God knew something about the human heart—we forget. Over time, miracles fade into memories, and gratitude can turn into complacency. The memorial stones were meant to provoke questions from future generations so that the story of God’s mighty work would never be lost.

This chapter teaches that remembering is an act of faith. When we intentionally remember what God has done, our faith is strengthened, our trust is renewed, and future generations are taught to rely on the same faithful God.

For believers today, Joshua 4 reminds us to mark the moments when God moves. Testimonies matter. Stories of deliverance matter. What God has done in your life is not just for you—it is meant to strengthen others and point them to Him.


Reflection Questions

1. What has God done in my life that I need to intentionally remember

2. Am I sharing God’s faithfulness with others, especially the next generation

3. What spiritual markers can I set to remind myself of God’s work


Prayer

Lord God, thank You for Your faithfulness and mighty works in my life. Help me to remember what You have done and to never take Your goodness for granted. Teach me to share Your faithfulness with others so that Your name is honored from generation to generation. In Jesus name, Amen.
