No matter what happens in life, I wake up this morning and look back at how far along the Lord has brought me.
Since I was 16, knew that the Lord had purposed for me. I didn’t understand fully what it was, how to come to Him and I enjoyed my sin. I knew that if I came to Him though that I couldn’t do what I wanted to anymore and I wasn’t ready to do that just yet.
I wished God wasn’t real back in 2014, because I was reading the Bible without understanding. I seen the way to live and I knew I couldn’t do it myself because of my sinful desires.
Partially influenced by the Hebrew Israelite movement back in late 2014 and early 2015. I believed black people were the original Israelites from the Bible. I just couldn’t hate white people like certain camps did.
2015 God showing me what has kept my grandparents together all these years (47 years at the time). He showed me that it was ONLY Jesus.
For the whole 2015, the Lord’s convicting me greater than ever! He would convict me when I cussed, fornicated, had bad motives, taking sleeping pills and night quill etc..
In 2015, the Lord sent someone at my job to minister to me and speak a word of knowledge over me that only the Lord knew. The guy knew I was seeing shadows and everything. At night after work, I would see dark shadows while playing the game. At this point in my life I’m suicidal, already thinking like “hey shadows if you’re going to kill me just kill me then.” I use to be so ready to die. But God🙌🏾
In 2016 February 28th, the Lord saved me! I see now that my life was not my own and that He has chosen me since the beginning of the foundations of the earth. After all the years of putting the Lord off KNOWING He’s calling me! And He still didn’t kill me in my sin! I’m forever grateful! There’s no way I’m turning back to my old lifestyle. God has been too good!!
Thank You Lord 🙌🏾
