I have been
sinning against a holy God for over 23 years, not knowing really
what I was doing. Trying to find what would please Brent, to make me
happy.
I thought I was a
Christian once, that God had saved me, but as time past my fruits
didn’t show it. As time went on I got older, had more freedom, and
left home, went out into this world blinded, thinking I knew it all
and that I knew what I was doing. I started sinning more and hurting
myself more, my family, and those who loved me dearly, blaming
everyone and everything, but yet I still thought I ,high and
mighty Brent, was O.K. A good old boy. Well I am going to tell
you I wasn’t. I had know idea what I was doing until God showed me
my true self, and you know It wasn’t pretty at all. I wasn’t that
good old boy like I had thought.
My name was
removed off the membership at church, and I really didn’t care, even
though It did bother me some, but for the wrong reasons. I was
rebelling against God. But now I see that, it was the best thing to
do, because I was not being a good example of God and his church
with the life style I was living at that time.
About eight
month’s ago I starting seeing my sins and what I was doing wrong. I
started visiting another church, trying to find answer to my
questions, but just wasn't getting the answer’s I was looking for,
but I knew deep down that I needed to be in Gods house. I believe
that God then had started opening my eyes. My family and I started
attending my home church again, and I loved what I was hearing, and
besides it was home. I e-mailed Brother Mitchell ,( the pastor at
the time) one day to ask a small question about the church, and
expected a simple answer. But God works in mysterious ways. Brother
Mitchell came and visited me at my home and told me to read the book
of 1st John in the Bible. Reading that Book let me know where I was
in Gods eyes and where I stood with God. Since then I have been in
counsel every week with Brother Mitchell and seeking to know my
Lord. And now I can tell you that I have
found Jesus and He has saved my soul, so I want to publicly confess to
you my faith and belief for Jesus. and that I do believe whole
heartily that God has saved me from my sin.
