"My Testimony"

I grew up in the church. I knew the word. I knew wrong from right. I was raised by both parents who were God fearing. At 15 years old, I started smoking marijuana. At 17 years old, I started drinking alcohol, made a fake I.D. and started going to the clubs. This would lead to a life style full of pimping, hustling, stealing, fighting, and doing anything just to get by.
All these sinful acts became an addiction as my popularity grew in the streets of Detroit. I then became more vicious than ever.
I then moved to Atlanta, Ga to pursue a career as a rapper chasing this false dream. It didn't go as plan and I ended up homeless and was forced to move back home to Detroit.
When I moved back my mother was starting a local gospel T.V. show "The Darlene & Sarah Gospel Spectacular", and she asked me to perform. I was hesitant at first but still decided to perform. This eventually lead to me walking into my calling and becoming a new man.
Through 12 years of being out in the world, God covered and protected me and had grace and mercy on my life.
Now, I'm a husband, a father, a business owner, a holy hip hop artist and on fire for Jesus. "Thank You Heavenly Father"

I am an alcoholic and i came to Jesus two weeks ago...in those two weeks I did not touch a drink at all and they were the most enjoyable weeks of my life. Yesterday something happened and I was tempted to drink and now I regret it...please pray for me to quit forever.....but I love what I felt in those two weeks.....Jesus is really too sweet

Truly was a blessing to read all the other testimonies and that we all realize that it's nothing but God's grace, love and mercy that saved up from our mess, kept us from death and gave us life. As everyone else said, I grew up in Church, but I was just a seat filler. Wasn't receiving anything and really wasn't challenged by anyone to pay attention or accept Christ. Well, God saw different for me and I'm glad He did. After living a dangerous life ( in high school and early years of college), being physically abused by loved one's, being sexually active, clubbing, partying, being in and abusive relationship that almost cost me my life and the list goes on and on.... God said enough ( September 30, 2007) told me that I couldn't live without Him and I realize that I couldn't and didn't want too. All along searching for what was already there, for so long wanting an unconditional love that no man could provide but only God could. Feeling like a man could only validate me.... facing so many insecurities and not loving and respecting myself. I praise God for saving me and for saving you all also.

I never thought i would live to see the day. That I could love someone that i could not see. Through my walk with CHRIST i struggle through the pain,the judgement of others holding my pass against me. On my way to church I hear the gossip while they smoke and drink. Cussing saying GOD's name all in one sentence. Saying oh please, he got a nerve. After all this time he want JESUS. Now he so Holy............................
I've been faithful living CHRIST LIKE as soon as I accepted Him in my life. This testis a double whammy as my smile turn into tears. But then I hear scriptures in my head. The righteous is never forsaking. I maintain in prayer, staying in GOD's face. Why do some chirstians Judge and try to sentence you like their GOD? When all they have is your pass. Don't they know what danger they are putting themselves in? This act has made me strong. SO I shall stand and see the salvation of GOD glory...... hal lay lu jah

I sit here just praising the Lord as I read the testimonies of what He has done in our lives. I see the changes daily in people I work with, and in my own life how He leads and guides us beside the still waters - even when it looks like the storm is raging.

Iam a witness that God will turn the table on that devil. Seven years ago I was addicted to drugs. My wife left me. My house was in forclosure and my life didnt have meaning. I was wanted for multible armed robberies. Idecided to take my own life,and tryed atleast six times without success. I mean poison,natural gas,wrist slit to the bone and finally a cut throat. Threw my amazement and God mercy I lived. The DR was amazed and said there was no trace of poison in my body. I went to prison for four years waer I was baptised and saved. Today Iam drug free! I got a beautiful new wife and a good paying Job in my church. God is good,believe the hype!

I thank the Lord for my life and salvation, He's been so faithful to me, He lifted me me up from a deep muddy clay.
i grew up in a family that believe so much in ancestral worship. When i was sick, they would consult traditional doctors who would say false prophecy about my life. they would tell me that i'm going to be paralysed and that i would die if i don't their african medicine. so i grew up believing and obeying everything they said, UNTIL the day i met with Jesus, on the 20 January 2008, God changed my life and from that day i made a vow not to bow down to any other gods.
I'm sooo glad that Jesus took my sins away and gave me a new life owned by Him alone! thank you JESUS!
Rev. Sidnei Comment by Rev. Sidnei on August 16, 2009 at 8:56pm
Well My sisters and I grew up in a house watching my father abuse my mother. In the last incident, we were out of town and my father tried to kill my mother but she ended up killing him in self-defense when I was at the age of seven. That hurt my mother to the point that she began to drink more and turned to drug to deal with the torment. We all grew up in the church. So the word was known in my life to the point that even in sin God kept me. Since my mother was on drugs we had to fin for ourselves so I worked and sold drugs. God had grace over my life that I could have been in jail and killed on the streets. I had my first child at the age of 18 and she slowed me down alot. I dropped out of school in my Senior year. God is good because I met a man that came in and became a father to my child and asked me to stop hustling. I stopped hustling and went back to school and received my GED then my bachelors degree in Business, then I just received my first masters in ministry and now I am currently working on my second masters to complete the required credit hours needed to become an active military chaplain. I am an ordained pastor of Connect2Grace Ministries and I serve the Lord with a vengence. I love being a servant. God has kept his hand over my family and I every step of the way. I continue to pray for my mother.

famous words; "I grew up in church." Me too, and when I left home I didn't want anything to do with it, but was to scared of going to hell to renounce the faith altogether. I sure did try though. I came from a background of abuse (sexual) from when I was a child, and didn'r really have any confidence as a person. I grew into the victim mold and didn't know how to change it. Almost everyone around me recognized my talents, except for me. Alcohol became my good friend. I had children, and seemed to collect kids - praise the Lord, their love helped pull me out of the bottle.

Jesus didn't become real to me until I was in my 30's. The first time I felt HIs presence I knew I had to know him, and realized for the first time He already knew me. It was a journey of gain and falling back, and getting up again. I thank the Lord for His patience and love for me. I'm so grateful for all the prayers of other folks who didn't give up on me. They never condoned by behavior, but never stopped loving me. Forgiveness for my abusers or for myself did not come easy, but the Lord leads us into all His ways that He calls us to follow.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us/me the spirit of feat but of love, power and a sound mind
