MY TESTIMONY

This is my Testimony on how i was saved 1/3 of it: On December 15th 1989 I came home from work to my apartment in El Reno Oklahoma, I was tired of life and all the junk in it. I got tired of moving; I moved 5 times in different states to get rid of my addictions. My addictions were wearing me out, depressing me, and dragging me down. The addictions were pornography, drugs, alcohol and gambling. The addictions never went away each timed I moved. Most of the time the addictions came to me not me going to them. Once I did the addictions, guilt came upon me. The more I did them the more I felt dirty, worthless, shameful and guilty: I had these addictions over 10 years. My plan was to kill myself in my apartment that night, when I sat down on the couch I was going to cut my wrist and bleed to death. As soon as I sat down on the couch, my television turned on by itself and it was a tv without no remote control so you had to manually go up and turn in on. The 700 club came on and Pat Robertson was on, and he started to speak and he said “I don’t want you to kill yourself because Jesus has a plan for you, and loves you. Say this sinner’s prayer after me. Dear Jesus forgive me of all the sins that I have done in my life. Come into my heart remove this guilt, shame, and embarrassment from my heart and mind. Jesus come into my heart take control and make me whole and complete. Become my Lord of Lords, King of Kings and my personal Savior.” After Pat Robertson was done speaking the tv shut off, and I felt a lot of weight lift of my shoulders. The room became dark because there were no lights on. I heard a big BANG in the bathroom almost like a rock hit the counter top. I physically saw a rock on the counter, I looked up to the celling and there was no where you could tell where it came from. I felt like the rock was all my sin, depression, and addictions. From that time I have never looked at or done any of my old addictions. I felt like a new and improved person. The very next day my apartment was robbed, I lost a few things and felt like it was the devil messing with me because I turned my life over Christ. One year to the exact date I got married. My life was NEVER the same again when Christ touched it. I picked up a bible the first time when I was 30; I walked into church the first time when I was 30. That was the scariest moment of my life, I saw people passing out on the floors and flopping. My life is divided into 3 parts this is the first part of my life. The other 2 parts have lots of stories to tell. The second part of the story is from the time I was saved to the time I walked into a church called Lighthouse now called Fresh Start Church. The third part of my life is from the time I’ve been at Lighthouse now called Fresh Start church. Since I’ve been at Fresh Start Church I have received many dreams, visions and have been spoken over prophetically. There are lots of people that I get credit for that God has put in my life. Raymond and Denise Anderson, Murray and Deb Clarkson, Jean and George Sheekey, Pastor Don Muscarella ,Pastor Paul and Kim Owens. Without these people I have no idea where I would be at in life, probably not in a good place. If you want to know the other two parts of my life just ask me. I am a very transparent person.
