Raised in an unconverted family who didn't go to Church. Drugs, Alcohol, and demonism were my motif' in my teen years. Became utterly convinced that I deserved Hell, if there was a God, about 6 months after joining the Navy. Cried out to God for mercy and started reading the New Testament. My eyes were opened when I read John 8:58. I saw Jesus was God. I had grown up watching the Ten Commandments on the TV. God said His name was I AM. Jesus said He was I AM. Read John 15:16 before I was involved with any ministry or anyone and believed it.
Joh 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Was directed to the Navigator Ministry on base and attended a Reformed Baptist Church. Been kept by God for 24 years now.
