I am a 29 year old man whom is a witness of God’s divine power and mercy. Although brought up in church, bad influences in my teenage years did damage to my relationship with the Lord. I can testify that neither drugs, alcohol or any wordly lifestyle will get you nowhere but to eternal death. After 8 long years in that type of lifestyle, seeing myself betweeen a rock and a hard place , I made a decision to go back to God. Being encarcerated three different ocassions, one year in a drug rehab at Puerto Rico,two weeks in a mental hospital, I had to do something to change stuff around. Marihuana, cocaine, hard liquor and pills, just to mention a few, was the place that I let the enemy lead me to. I give God the glory that today I stand firm serving God in a church and working as the co-pastor, giving sunday school to the gentlemen among lots of things. If God did it with me, He also wants to do it with you also. Toady I want to encourage the readers to get as closer as you can get to the Lord today because we are living in the last days. There is no time to waste. Get it straight with Him, and keep om going. (I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Phil. 4:13
