One Day ~ Today

Five years ago, I lived a lifestyle of total perversion according to the bible. I was strung out. I was promiscuous. I was everything that you see on television today. There wasn’t anything that I wouldn’t try. I was called a reprobate by the church. (And rightfully so) I was told that God would NEVER save me. I was told that I had gone too far and stayed too long. They told me Jesus didn’t love me and that he hated me. I believed them. 

One day Jesus just showed up and changed my life. While I was YET a sinner Christ died for ME.  Jesus Christ has done absolutely everything that everyone said that he wouldn’t do for me!

Last weekend I spoke to a crowd of 500 about the delivering power of Jesus Christ. That church called me yesterday and filled me in on what God is doing in their church since I left. Baptisms. Repentance. Convictions. I am so encouraged by their testimonies. Today I am washed clean! You won’t catch me wearing a possum around my neck anymore. You won’t catch me dressing like a woman anymore. I am a man of God today. Jesus Christ cleaned me up. I am pure! I am saved and I am delivered!!! I am a new creature. Old things have passed away and behold all things have become new to me. 

What a difference 5 years will make in your life! Trust God today. Start today. Today is a good day for repentance. If Christ changed me there is absolutely nothing that he won’t do for you!! I was a wicked sinner, but I have been washed in the blood of the Lamb!! I traded in the rainbow flag for the blood-stained banner.  There is no greater life than being filled with the Holy Ghost!! I give God praise for TOTAL deliverance from homosexuality. I wasn’t born that way. Thank you, JESUS, that I am no longer trapped in sin. The hold the devil had on me he ain’t got no more! Satan is a liar. 

Come and be a Christian with me! 

This is the greatest life!
