well. this is long over due. i have 2 ways of going about this. first would be the standard i was saved on this day and i became a great Christian the very next. but that isnt the case.
I was saved in 1994 at First Baptist Church of Hammond Indiana. im not going to say i lived for the Lord from that day one. no, i remained myself. the only difference i learned what was right. and what was wrong. the past year of my life. wow. it has been ridiculous. most of you have seen the very edge of this journey that has slowly brought me closer and closer to our God. it has been a roller coaster ride. to the deep pits and back. but a few of you. a very select few have seen this roller coaster first hand. been there with me the entire time no questions asked. and for that. i am eternally greatfull.
now, to the meat of the issue. around march of last year i was so far from God i couldnt even spell his name. He knew it, i didnt. God gave me a gift. a gift that was to completly change my out look. this gift was a person. this person drove me to the edge, the brink of destruction. a sin that is pretty high up there. most of you remember what im talking about. with my urgent prayer requests. i thought i had it all. but i didnt have the one true thing i needed. God, my life lacked God. But God never left me. when ever i would get to the very edge of the cliff. i would hear his voice. and feel the warmth from him. he saved me. more than once. im not crazy. and im not melodramatic. i just couldnt deal with the stress and the pain. but for every wound that was put on me. God provided a bandage.
He called me back. right when the beginning of the fiasco was about to rain down on me. he provided a shelter for me from my enemy. he truly led me to the rock that is higher than i. and one day. today. i can truly say i hear angels singing amazing grace. and i fully rejoice for the gift he has given me. Life and eternal salvation. i am not perfect. i dont pretend to be. but there is one thing about me that is perfect. my salvation. if it wasnt for God. and The Of-God clan and my friends within it. i wouldnt be here today. your prayers and thoughts got my through the worst part of my life to date. To God thank you. To my Friends thank you. To those who prayed for me. thank you.
God saved me. God saved me in more ways than one. in ways i never thought possible.
My name is Anthony. I am delivered. i am a child of God. i am your brother in Christ.
