This is what God has done/doing/ and going to do in the future.
John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
My whole life I've been in church. I have always known who Jesus Christ is. I knew He was a great person who performed miracles and was kind to everyone. I was saved at a young age around the age of 6 on December 27th,1997. I remember the place. Me and my grandmother were driving on the road. I told her that I wanted to be saved and we pulled on the side of the road and I prayed to receive the best gift that I have ever received. I was so glad that I had received my savior Jesus Christ. I couldn't wait to go home and tell my mom and dad what I had done. Little did I know that the testing of my faith would soon begin. In January of 2004 my life took a blow. I had lost my grandmother due to alstimers disease. To know that when I went and visited her she didnt even know my name. I knew from church that when you die, if you had Jesus in your life and trusted him as savior would be cleasned of your sins and would be able to reign with Him in Heaven. I relied on Christ to get me through that. I did and gave God all the glory. Little did I know that I would hit rock bottom.
Middle School came around and the urge to do certain things that you can't control. I got into some things that I knew were wrong. I struggled with adultery. I knew it was wrong but I still kept doing it. It got to a point that I didnt care or it didnt bother me. That is when I officially hit rock bottom. I struggled for a while till I got busted. I was called out on it. I remember one night, I was so upset that I went and cried and at the same time talked out to God. I got on my knees and begged for mercy and forgivness. I felt that night that Christ had officially taken that from me. Well that was a rise and fall situation over the course of several months. Here I was a slave to my own sin that I decided to do. I was in chains not living for the one who gave me life. When He looked at me I knew He saw the sin in my life through my eyes. Nothing can hide from God. I heard the song by casting crowns titled "Set Me Free". That was how I was living my life. Its kind of like Lacey Mosley of Flyleaf's testimoney. I was bound by chains without a key. He came and restored or in a better sense unlocked my chains. On 10-14-2010 I can say that I am DONE with part of my life. I felt a sense of freeness in my life. I have been realeased. I hope that will help someone else in their walk with the Lord. We cant do anyting without the love of Father in Heaven.
I believe that we all go through things in this life that we are not proud of and we wish not to talk about. Now I know why God makes us go through those things, to help others that are going through the same problems and to assist them in getting better. It is my prayer to do that with young men.
This is my testimoney. Thank you for reading this.
