If anyone thinks they are beyond being Saved, or have done something too horrible for God to forgive, I encourage you to give me a yell and let me share my testimony with you about my life. If it is possible to commit some sort of sin that would keep a person from every being able to be Saved, then I would have NO DOUBT been that person. In fact, look for my personal “Total Deliverance Testimony” in my video section. There is very little I have NOT been into at one point or another in my life. From horrible sexual abuse as a child to the Black Magic Satanism/Occult, to having massive drug addictions, to serious mental problems in which God COMPLETELY healed me of I must add, however those mental problems left me scared for life physically. I literally have hundreds of self inflicted scars on my body mainly from razor blades but some are from cigarette burning and other horrible things I did to myself during those dark times in my life. I have struggled with things like terrible porn addictions to bi-sexual tendencies to you pretty much name it. NONE of which I am in any way proud of but I MUST share those things with others in the hopes that it will help them in some way or another come closer to the Lord and/or be Saved and freed from the things that are keeping them in bondage. I praise God continually because He has delivered me from ALL these things and so much more. It has been a hard road to go down I must say but I can tell you this. It has been worth every minute of it. See I didn't come to Christ because I thought He would make me rich. I didn't come to Him because He promised me a bed of roses if I did. NO! In fact friends, I knew if I gave Him my life all Hell would break loose in my life. I knew the Occult wouldn't let me go so easily. In fact, many have died trying to leave that sort of stuff. I knew the road I was about to go down was NOT going to be a great deal of fun but I had to go down it and you wanta know why? Well it is simply really. I knew that I was at my very last step on the ladder of my life. I knew both my hands were slipping and losing their grip on that ladder. I knew that at any second I could fall off of it into eternity without salvation. Yea, I was all those things and a whole lot more but before I became such a monster I was also a little boy who's only dream was to be a preacher, even though I really didn't know what one did. I just knew they went around and talked to people about God and that is all I wanted to do way back there at 5 years old. Like every one deep down inside I knew what I was doing was WRONG and I knew it was sending me straight to Hell. One place I knew I did NOT want to go to I might add. See I have personally seen demons, Ive seen the other side in ways you do NOT want to. Those things can only be described as Nightmares come to life. In fact Steven King doesn't even have a twisted enough mind to give a true vision of what the real Hell will be like. Of course Hell will be the party before the real fun get's started. You know, when Hell is picked up and thrown into the Lake of Fire. Now thats when the party really gets going for all eternity. A party I can assure you no one truly wants to go to and if they think they do, as I did at one time, they will certainly change their tunes the second they see it as they are falling into the eternal damnation of an eternity with all those human hating demons and into an eternity without God. So for me, I had to make a decision that would ultimately secure my future in either Heaven or hell. During those dark days I was headed for one of three places in this world. Prison for the drugs I had all the time. A mental hospital in which my parents had already decided to take me to and have me admitted permanently I might add because they truly did not believe I would ever be normal again, or death in which I was actively trying to make happen on a constant basis as it was the one thing I thought of more then anything else. The day after my parents decided to have me committed to a mental hospital a precious man of God talked to my mother at work. He asked how I was doing and she spilled the beans. He said very calmly and clearly, “There is hope for him. He is demon possessed is all. If he asks the Lord to forgive him of his sins and then if we get those things out of him he will be just fine.” Now I gotta tell you my mom thought he went crazy to. She told him that I was completely nuts and how I had tried to kill my step father the night before and all kinds of stuff. He listened and just said the same thing once she was finished. Well let me tell you something else, he then called me that same day and asked if he could come visit me. I told him he could and I had planned on killing him when he got there. Now it wasn't ME that planned that but it was what was in me that wanted him dead. However, oddly enough he must have known something was up because when he got there I was totally unable to even look at him in the eyes let alone touch him. I was completely bound physically some how. He asked me if I was sick of living the life I had been living. He asked me if I wanted to once and for all be free from all that trash I was being controlled by. Some how I was able to tell him that I was. I repented right then and there and gave my EVERYTHING to the Lord Jesus Christ. I cannot explain to you what happened next with words because there are none that would explain it good enough. I was FREE, totally free from all that trash. It was a true 180 degree turn from what I was to what I had just become. In fact, the change in me was so dramatic I was blessed to lead my mother to the Lord days after I got saved, I was blessed to lead my wife to the Lord and even my step father in which I never got along with and was pretty much an atheist. He could no longer deny there was and is a God because of what happened to me. I thank God that they all still server the Lord to this day as well. I want to add one more thing that has been the second greatest blessing in my life. Through a great deal of this my once girlfriend Stormy Hunt stuck by my side when no one else would. She loved me through it all even when I was so horrible to her. I am blessed to say we have been together for 20 years and we have been married for 17 years as of this writing. Without her I do not know where I would be. I believe God gives us that one perfect helpmate if we will wait upon Him and let Him put that person in our life at the right time. I know she is certainly the one God has for me and for that I will forever be grateful. I have been ministering ever since in some way or another. I started passing out tracts in front of the Harrah's Casino in Reno Nevada for a long time. God has used us in many different types of ministry but now praise God we are teaching a program called, “The Way of the Master” By Kirk Camron and Ray Comfort. It is our desire teach as many people as we can how to effectively share their faith with family, friends, and even strangers without any fear. It is also our vision to get street ministry teams started in as many churches as we possibly can and get them outside the church leading people to Christ. Oddly enough, when you go fishing you must actually drive to where the fish are in order to catch them. Same goes with lead the lost to Christ. You gotta go to where they are because chances are they will NOT come to the church and ask you to get them saved. It is every Christians duty to fulfill the great commission. Think about it this way. If you looked out the window of your bedroom and saw your neighbors house on fire would you just lay back in your bed and say, “Well some one will tell him sooner or later but I would hate to offend him so I will just go back to sleep.” NO!!!! You would run out the front door and do whatever it took to get them awake even if you had to smash a window, break into their home and drag them out of the burning house. Well folks 150,000 people die everyday, most without being Saved. When we don't share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with people we are laying down in our bed and saying we really don't care if they live or die. Personally, I do because many years ago my Spiritual house was on fire and that man came and drug me out of that burning Hell I was in. Also, I have been extremely blessed to be allowed to minister with a wonderful man of God in our local state mental hospital here in our town. Texas State Mental Hospital is a place where go people when they have been convicted of felonies but are found to be insane at the time. These mental patients are at various stages of mental illnesses. We have about 100 that comes to church every Sunday and Thursday and it is a joy to be blessed to work with them. Many I call my friends and some I call my brothers in the Lord. That of course is the adult side. We also minister on the adolescent side as well three times a week. These kids are in there for all kinds of reasons however the most common is drug problems and problems with authorities. I have seen some of these kids turn totally around and begin living for Christ. It is so wonderful to be apart of. Please pray for these people, pray for us to be able to get through to them. That of course is the hardest part. God can do anything. Also, please if you can, become a volunteer at a place like this or some other place where you can help people come to know the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ. It IS our duties as Christians you know. One more project we JUST started doing and I pray it catches on to everyone in the US and even in the world. To find out more about this please read my blog called: “Total Deliverance Testimonies” Keep us in your prayers and please contact me if you have any ideas, questions, comments, or maybe ya just wanta chat with me. I will do my very best to answer ALL emails I get promptly. Last note, I am an extremely transparent person. I do not mince words and I tend to be extremely blunt. It is my deep desire to help any one I possibly can and I do NOT care what subject it is on. NOTHING is off limits in my personal opinion however with that said note my answers WILL be Biblically based at all times. Please feel free to ask me ANYTHING. NO I don't know everything, in fact the older I get the more I learn helps me to see I don't really know a whole lot. LOL We are praying that I will be able to share my testimony with as many people as is possible and where ever it maybe welcomed. Thanks for taking the time to check me out, sorry it was so long but I didn't even scratch the surface yet. You will just have to watch my personal “Total Deliverance Testimony” for the rest. May God bless you as your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ allows.
