Y'all,
Hey there just want to give a
testimony of my life. Sorry it to be long but I am
five years in the walk with the Lord. It has been a up
and down one, but Jesus got me through my hard times.
Okay here is my testimony. When I was young our family
went to a couple house for church. We went into I was
10yrs old and that we stop going for that the couple.
Got asked to go to a main church and that they invited
us to go with them. My parents told them thanks but
decided they would do bible studdies at home. We had
them into I was ten and that my dad saw that we weren't
intersted. So he asked us if he want him to stop doing
them. Never asked your kid(s) if you don't want to go
to church anymore. For that if they aren't into them,
they will say yes. I ain't saying force them to go to
church but yet if you don't take them to church
anymore. Or you don't do bible studdies at house
anymore then, they will go astray from God. They
either might come back to the Lord, or they might never
come back. I was in the group that decided I need God
again. When I was in 7th Grade I met Mr Wayne Wakers
and later on in my life he led me to the Lord. In my
9th grade year I did easy retard drugs. When you hear
about drugs you either say no thanks not for me, or you
say ah what a little expirement won't hurt. I was the
one that said no thanks for awhile into I said. Lets
try it to see what it is like. So I did sniffing glue
and kool-Aid. I stopped after a half month or a full
month for that one I almost got caught by a student.
Also one time I snezzed no one was around and blue junk
came out of my nose. I was embarass by it and thought
man if someone was around. I would had got in trouble
and suspended/expelled. In 11th grade I got my first
job working at Pizza hut it was an okay job for awhile.
They lied in my face for that they said that I was
doing a good job, and then on my evaluation they were
saying bad stuff. Also when I was there I got stressed
out so much that suicided came on my mind. When I
wasn't there no suicided, so I felt something is wrong
here. So I decided to quit working there. In my
Senior year I knew that before I graduated I wanted to
accept Jesus, but I wasn't for sure when I would. So
on March 27 94, I had a weird dream. I dreamed that my
heart stopped beating, my mind went darker and darker
etc. Then all sudden I died and went to Lake of Fire.
You have many type of unsaved people. They either know
they need Jesus, just not sure when there ready. Or
that they say I can make it own my own. I was the one
in the boat back in 7th grade and up before I got saved
that said. If I would had died tonight or if Jesus
would come back that day. I would not go with him to
paradise. Accepted Jesus after I got home from the Yth
Group. Collinsville AG was my first church I have ever
been to. My family and I then went to the mall Sunday
afternoon and when I was in the restroom I saw a
witness card. Forgot what they are called:) It had
the sinner prayer and said wow cool. So I took it and
read the sinner prayer and said it 10x just to make
sure. Oct 94 started going to Sunday School. 95 I got
baptized in August. In 96 I started in Royal Rangers
and that I never heard about Royal Rangers. When I was
young I went through Boy Scouts. I didn't know if it
was for me for Iheard from many people that God leads
you to stuff. So in May of 96 Iwent to my first
campout and that I loved it. Boys and girls down at
the altarcrying their hearts out to the Lord. I then
went from Yth to Royal Rangers. Got rebaptized in
Sept-Oct 96. I finished half of my Ltc in 97 and look
where I am today. I am still with Jesus. I end with
one thing. To all those who work with Royal Rangers
and other ministry since I know that Missionette
Leaders also on Rangernet. Since if you know someone
in Rangers that you know. I think you are on. I do
thank you each one of you. For that Royal Rangers main
teaching is this. To Reach Teach and Keep Boys and
Girls for Christ. God Bless
John
