Salvation

Opening Prayer

My Testimony

I have always believed in something. Mostly God and His Son Jesus. in the back of my mind I always knew. I however did not live like it at all. off and on drugs my whole life. Cheated on my wife, and lost out on a lot of time with my children because of it. then fell really heavily into drugs. started out with just a little cocaine every now and then to a full blown $300-$500 a day crack habit. I had a really good job so I was able to sustain my habit for awhile. but like everything the Devil makes look glorious it is all designed to destroy you. and destroy me it did. the drugs took over my every thought, I lost my job and my car and my house. but i didn't care because I still had my crack and it made feel so good and i had friends that made me feel wanted. ended up lying to my family for money, stealing from family and Friends. It got so bad that not one person I knew would give as much as a dollar. was not allowed in my parents house. I finally decided i was done living life like that and gave up the drugs. met a wonderful and supportive woman who is now my wife. Life was getting better by the day, But you know that Devil knew he still had a hold of me. I ended up relapsing and going on a very expensive binge sold some household items to pay for it. even got $500 worth of crack fronted to me by the dealer. who tried to kill me to collect. threatened my life my wife's life even threatened to burn down all my family members houses.So when I came down off of my high i was on the run and at a loss. I tried taking my own life. i Ended up in the hospital psych ward locked up for ten days. once i got out my wife took me back and we worked things out but i was still depressed. couldn't get out bed. had a bible sitting on my nightstand started reading it. God came to me one night in a dream and said look its time. I have saved your life countless times I have a need for you wake up and get with the program.I then really started reading the bible. reconfirmed my life in Jesus. and starting to live a righteous lifestyle praying everyday reading the bible every day and watching my life go from cant get out of bed and still having cravings for crack to not one craving ever anymore family life was getting better reconnecting with my family to doing what I thought the Lord wanted me to do and live. signed up for college and seminary school. Then the Lord came to me in another dream and said good now that we have completed phase one its time for phase two. He showed me that he wanted to minister to people like me all over the country. Show them that even tho they don't feel it or see it but the Lord wants them too.

Jesus Wants You

Just because you have a past does not mean it is to late. Jesus loves you and is willing to save you from your sins in fact if you look at his genealogy you will see the sinners in his family.

Jesus Walks on Water

Matthew 14: 25-33 “And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s Son!””

Why did peter sink? You see Peter sank because instead of focusing on Jesus he let the worldly thins such as the waves and wind take his focus. He lost his focus and then his faith in Jesus. We must not take our eyes off of Jesus, We need to put him and keep Him first in our lives. By doing this we will reap the rewards that God has to offer us.

Jesus Gave his life for us.

John 3: 16-21 ““For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. “He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. “For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. “But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.””

The only way to eternal life is through Jesus Christ.He who believes in Jesus is not condemned. God loves us so much that He offered His only Son as the ultimate sacrifice so that we may forgiven of our sins and granted eternal life.

The Only Way of Salvation

Romans 10: 9-13 “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.””

This is all you have to do to be granted eternal life through Jesus Christ. That does not mean you should stop there. he also wants you to continue to grow your faith, through prayer, staying in the Word, and even maybe ministering to others. HE WILL LET YOU KNOW. Just take the time to pray and make sure during your prayer you give Him time to answer. All of my answers have come in the form of dreams usually after my bedtime prayer.

The Return of Jesus

Revelation 19: 11-16 “And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.””

Jesus wants you. He wants you to give your life to Him. Now is the time to do it, so your life will get better through Him and so you are ready for his return. You never know when its going to be too late. so why wait.
