MY Testimony

Former Atheist who would be better described as an Agnostic by todays standards, simply because of intellect, background, and many other life narratives. I found myself BROKEN HEARTED, from an injury that led to a disability and a rare nerve condition, my eyes were on my problems and far, far away from God!

I found myself on nerve, pain, sleep, depression, & you name it pills & patches. When the Doctors lost hope and told me that they may have to amputate my foot. I hit rock bottom at the thought of losing my foot to amputation!

After all by this point I had exhausted all my resources, seen 4 or 5 doctors, 5 or 6 physical therapist, and pain management specialists with a yearly medical cost of $20,000 dollars to manage the pain in an attempt to reverse the nerve damage that was leading up to the amputation!

Searching for Hope & Answers!

Little did I know God had a plan. My mother decided to plant a Bible next to my evening chair where I like to read and listen to audio. One late evening I found GOD'S Word and began to read in the book of Job. For those who are wondering how much I knew about The Word of God. I thought Job was a book about earning money. After all I was having a hard time with work due to my current situation if you know what I'm saying.

Anyway, it didn't take long to understand the book I had opened up to was about a man named Job. As I read about Job. My Heart began to Cry because I had hit rock bottom just like Job and even though I could relate to all Job was going through. I found myself at a loss when it comes to finding any resemblance to hope.

Fortunately I set my selfishness aside and reached out to God. Little did I know, when I hit rock bottom, The ROCK I landed on was JESUS CHRIST !!!

After hours of reading and tears of prayer hit the floor, at the foot of my evening chair. I gave all of my life to HIM and HIM ALONE. After all HE gave all His life for Me. The least I could do was give mine back to HIM.

I had a True Heart Exchange with JESUS and fell asleep around 4 AM in the morning with my hearts desire to follow Jesus. To receive His healing touch and live for the Glory of GOD.

While sleeping I woke with a Vision and Promise that I was HEALED and my instructions were to always follow HIM.

In all HIS Marvelous Magnanimity Fire Rushed through my body and out of my right foot!!!

As the cold and color of purple from my rare nerve disease disappeared and the warmth of a normal feeling & strength returned to my leg. I became overwhelmed with tears of JOY as the normal color of my foot returned. It had been years since I felt this way.

How could this be?

When I fell asleep I could barely walk. But now in this miracle moment I was JUMPING up and down and RUNNING all around. I couldn't stop jumping and running throughout the house in unconditional and unmerited JOY!

It seemed now as if I could run a marathon. But, instead I Ran to rake leaves that afternoon for a near by Church. Then went to a jogging trail to RUN, RUN, RUN.

I ran 6 miles that day in Tears of JOY! I would have ran further. But, when I stopped to empty the gravel out of my shoes from the jogging trail. It wasn't gravel at all. It was the bottom of my foot bleeding from being inactive for such a long time. I had developed soft feet.

Overwhelmed would be an understatement!

I had my LIFE back and all I wanted to do was LIVE and GIVE it back to GOD...

Not long after this amazing miracle took place. I died in a Terrible automobile accident!

Yeah you heard me right. I DIED !!! As in DEAD. No longer in my body. Dead. This is where I finally began to understand this life is but a vapor, as my lifeless body lay there with blood everywhere.

I was very aware of all my surroundings and I could even see that I was a beautiful version of my former self. It seemed as if I was Spirit and light and Eternity all rolled into one amazing creation. I could see me, seeing me.

God told me, my mother and girlfriend needed me. But in my selfishness I declined. It was to beautiful ! Knowing I would never be hungry or tired. Never feel pain. Just and overwhelming feeling of knowing and love. Then I began to think..

If I could tell someone about this it would have be amazing. It could change their life. It could save their life.

Even if I could simply tell one person about this it would be worth it. As I pondered this and my reasons for declining.

God asked again if I would like to go back. I still declined.

But then HE said..

I HAVE WORK FOR YOU TO DO !!!

I thought for a moment..

Ok well over five minutes. But then I thought again of all the people I could tell about Jesus. Then I agreed. In an instant I was back in my body taking a deep breath. I ripped my shirt off and tied it around my head, where my head was split open from the impact of being hit in my driver side door at 50 miles an hour. Crawled out of the passenger side of my truck and stumbled over to a police car for help.

Believe me they weren't expecting that!

After all they knew I was DOA and they were currently trying to help the family who hit me out. They were all pretty banged up but all alive.

When I exited my body. I watched as the people freaked out over the accident. I watched my lifeless body sitting slumped over in my truck with blood everywhere. I watched the ambulance arrive. I watched the fire truck arrive. I watched the police arrive and lastly I watched as they all frantically attended to the situation.

See they knew I was dead and The other family that was in the other truck were all injured but alive.

So the paramedics, fire department, & police were all doing there best to help the other family. I knew this from watching everything for such a long time. By this time the tow trucks were already there loading up the other truck.

To make a long story short here I am sharing my testimony with you.

Hopefully encouraging you to think about eternity & having a relationship with God. At the very least, I hope I have given you some reassurance in something you already know. For those who read this I Love You, Jesus Loves You, and if your breathing God has a Purpose and Amazing plan for your LIFE.

I'm encouraging you to LIVE it for HIM. Just Love :)

Because HE LOVES & wants a personal relationship with YOU!!! GOD finds Great JOY in having a Personal Relationship with HIS Children.

Hope Will Rise in the Hearts of a Generation, when there's no hidden agenda other than the true Heart felt Compassion of God for All People. Through the LOVE OF JESUS!!!

I promise You there really is a LIFE after this one and I'm so glad you don't have to die like I did to find this out & know the TRUTH.

Listen,

I understand it may be hard to understand. As a former Atheist I still struggle with all that God has done through me since that day. He wasn't kidding when He told me He still had work for me to do. LOL..

Since that day I have learned what it is to truly believe The WAY & THE WORD Instead of The Way & The World.

I'm just a guy who got mad one day and decided if there really was a God and This Jesus that everyone proclaims is real, that I would give Him a chance out of my frustrations and He took me up on it.

Oh man did He take me up on it and then He pursued me with a passion!

Did you know that God has that same passion for YOU!

I know it can be difficult. At first it was hard for me to process to. Mostly because I have always been very analytical. I loved science & complete explanations. But, I truly believe I experienced these things so that I could share them with YOU ! ! !

Please Don't wait for something as important as this. I'm asking you to open your heart and give God a chance. If you have NEVER received JESUS as your Lord and Savior. I'm inviting you right NOW..

It is a FREE gift that last a LIFETIME !!!

How to Renew your mind?

Luke 23:34, In The Word of God, Jesus Says, " Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." This is so POWERFUL on so many levels ! Isn't this how life is?

How to Apply THE GOOD NEWS in real life

So, let's say you're given a playbook for a football or basketball game. Then you listen to the coach go over and over the material in it. But, all you do is listen, read, and memorize it. What will you do on game day seeing you have never held a football or basketball? You've never ran any practice drills. You haven't even played a scrimmage game. But hey, you've listened to the coach, read the playbook, memorized some plays, bought a pair of $100.00 shoes to match your uniform. You look like a football or basketball player. You even sound like one. The fact is, without applying the information to real life, you'll only reach a certain point. OK, let's say instead of a playbook, you're given a manual to learn Martial Arts. But, all you do is read the manual and listen to someone verbally teach it. How do you think your first match or tournament will go? How will you respond when you are physically attacked? To become someone who is skilled at...

Created to Love and Called to Share

Opening Statement The information that's being given to you is presented in love to equip you, not to condemn you. For we know there's now no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 . If we become convicted, this is a good thing, because it's the love of our Heavenly Father calling us to another level in our relationship with Him. The Word of God In 2 Peter 1:12-13, NLT, says, 12 Therefore, I will always remind you about these things—even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth you have been taught. 13 And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live. Reminding you what? 2 Peter 1:1-11, NLT , 1 This letter is from Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ. I am writing to you who share the same precious faith we have. This faith was given to you because of the justice and fairness of Jesus Christ, our God and Savior. 2 May God give you more and more grace and peace as you g...

Pure Motives, Love, & The Good News of Jesus Christ

In Philippians 1:15-18, we see some people share The Good News with pure motives and others from selfish ambition, jealousy, and with no sincerity. But, Paul still rejoiced because, The Good News was still being shared. The reality Paul was faced with is the same reality we're faced with today. Since there are so few set free and willing to walk in love rightly. He rejoiced in the fact that Something is better than nothing! Ultimately, we know we should have pure motives and love others with no agenda because this is the example Jesus set. In order for others to truly experience the love of Christ through us, We must represent Him well by setting our selfish motives and agenda's aside. In this way, people will see that you genuinely love and care about them. We must arrive at the place in our walk with Jesus that we fully understand this simple gesture. “ We will do a lot for love” What does this mean? Here's an Example: If my wife decided that I don't...

The Great Commandment and The Great Commisson

First things First ! I'm writing this to Encourage The Church. If you have received Jesus then you're The Church. This information is not Provided to condemn anyone. It is intended to create freedom and spark a fire in all who have ears to hear. So before we begin. You must read and hear this information with the right ear. Because if you hear this information with the dirt body your living in. That is the flesh. Then you will likely become offended and only hear what you want to hear. Most will shut down. Unable to hear with the right ear. The ear that hears the Love of God and The last Commands of Jesus before leaving this dirt earth. But I will continue on for those who can set their earth suits aside and hear with the right ear. As you move forward you just might step into a level of freedom you have never known before. If you're still with me then lets begin.. Did you know that only 95% of all CHRISTIANS live their entire LIFE as a Christian Without ever leading even o...

The Basics of Sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ Continued and The Foundation for Your P.O.R. or Point of Reference

Note : We never put God in a box when sharing The Good News . There's no particular way to share The Good News as long as it's always The Good News . This P.O.R. is just what it says it is. It's a Point of Reference. In Romans 10:9-10 We see that God gave His Son to gain His sons and daughters and we find that Romans 10:9 is one of the closest Scriptures we have to a prayer of Salvation. In Genesis 1:26-28 We see our Image, Dominion and Authority and Similarities between us and God in regards to confessing or speaking. In John 3:15-16 We see that God paid the priceless price of His Son to show His Love to the world. Simply put, God wants a relationship with His Children and paid a high price to prove it. I n Romans 6:4-5 We see that those who are buried with Christ are also Raised from the dead in the likeness of Christ. We see that He has Power over life and death. Note: Genesis 1:26-28,...

The Humanity of Jesus and Sharing The Good News

All to often people say things like. Yeah, but He's Jesus. Or No ones perfect. Well, You know. Except Jesus. Or Here's a classic. Come on, give me a break. I'm only human! You may be asking. What's the point of this or the questions and answers that follow? Well I'm glad you asked! The point is to get the, I'm only human, Nobody's perfect, and I'm not Jesus excuse Or Anything similar to this excuse out of the way. So we can get out of the way. And, Let The Way, Jesus Christ Himself show us the way, so we can show others The Way. 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, NLT, says this, 2 When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan. 2 For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, The One who was crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling. 4 And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rath...
