For those who don't know me, I want to give my testimony. Feel free to share on your wall if you like, I don't mind.
I grew up in church. My father was killed when my mother was 2 months pregnant with me and the man who helped raise us abused us physically, sexually, mentally, emotionally and verbally. One could say he was the devil in the flesh. I got angry with God at a young age and walked away due to blaming Him for everything that happened to us. I ended up in gangs, was addicted to drugs, and got in to witchcraft and satanism. I became very violent and evil. I ended up in jail a few times when I was in High School. I was driving down the road to come back home and a thought came across my mind, I needed to get back in to Church. After that, it was about 6 months later I started dating a girl who's parents were preachers. They invited me to church and accepted their invite, but it took a bit of running before the night that changed my life forever.
I was sitting in church on December 13th, 1998 and the Pastor didn't know anything about me. Yet, the sermon was aimed toward me. He even mentioned "you have been so angry with God, so full of rage, that you got in to drugs and even became a satanist to rebel against Almighty God". Let's say my heart was thumping and I was sweating. I felt as though I was going to die. As the singers started singing, I asked God "If You are really going to forgive me for all I've done, play my song and I will know You're calling me Home and I will go. I promise You" RIGHT away the Pastor yelled "STOP!!! Get Amazing Grace, a young man is coming back Home"
Let's just say, my jaw dropped and I walked up that aisle, that wasn't that long, but felt like it took forever to get to the front. I hit my knees so hard it thumped and busted my face off the altar so hard, my nose bled. All I could do is knell there sobbing and holding my shirt so tightly my knuckles were white. The feeling that came over me, was nothing I had ever felt. So much peace, love, and warmth and I never felt love like that. Living a life full of hate and rage, that was something that really hit me. From that point, I have followed Christ and have been a preacher for 22 years. God is good!
