This is part of my testimony of what God has done for me. I started a web site in order to share the blessings God
has given me. I never thought that I would be able to do the things God has asked of me. But I have found out that God does
not want those that are equipped; instead he wants to do the equipping himself. I know that I am not able to do anything,
but God can do anything through me, I am simply a vessel which he uses. My ministry is simple God, the Son (Jesus) and the
Holy Spirit. I preach salvation through the blood of Christ, and only the Spirit can draw you to God. Jesus is the way, the
Truth and the Life.
I was saved in 1974, but after only a couple of years I began to let God down, I started backsliding and did not
stop until I was out of Church, You see I figured that if I stayed away from Church then God would ease up with the conviction
I felt every Sunday. You see God was asking me to do something I knew I could not.
In 1986 I stared going to Church again and I rededicated my life and again I was faithful. But only for a few years,
Like Jonah I was one to try and run from God. After a few years back in Church God once again began to call on me and again
I got scared and ran.
In 1992 I once again got back into Church and rededicated my life but again just like before after a while God began
calling on me and once again I ran. In 1996 God had enough of my rebellion and he took me to a place where only he could make
a difference. At the time I was a police officer in my home town, but not just an officer, I was the assistant Chief which
put a lot of strain on my marriage. I began to think that the only relief was to not be around the house so I started working
all the time, the dept was going through a rough time trying to get some new officers since we had let several go for various
reasons. Which made it easier for me; I was working fourteen hours a day from 4:00pm until 6:00am seven days a week. My wife
worked from 7:00am until 5:00 pm we were never together. It ended with divorce. But that was not enough to make me come into
line with God. So in 1995 I was arrested and convicted on a felony. I found myself locked up for six months and because I
had been and officer I was kept in a small cell all alone.
Well being locked up where no one can inter fear God can deal with you, for the first time I could see that the only
way was Gods way. When I was released I met my wife that I am married to now, and started back to Church. This time however
God began to lead me, after a few years I was on the Church Board, then a year later I was the Sunday Superintendent and a
year later God called me into the ministry, but not as a Pastor. I was called as an evangelist. I know now that we must trust
God because he only wants what is best for us and if he asks us to do something then he is going to equip us for the task.
I am living proof, I never could write, I failed English ever year in high school and dropped out because I knew that without
a passing grade in English I could not graduate. Believe in miracles because God is still in the miracle business, and if
he can use me as worthless as I was then he can use anyone.
I hope that God blesses you and that maybe my Testimony might keep you from making the same mistakes I did.
