HE saved a wretch .... (like me!) - my personal testimony - short version

But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: - Romans 5:20 KJV -

Jesus said, "That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man." - Mark 7:20-23 - KJV -

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; - 2 Timothy 3:1-4 - KJV -

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. - 2 Peter 3:3-7 - KJV -

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. - 2 Peter 3:12-13 - KJV -

Jesus said, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. - John 3:16-19 - KJV - 

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:6 - KJV - 

Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." - John 3:3 - NASB - 



      My former Pastor from St. Louis, Missouri, Landis Fisher asked me to make a video of my testimony a few weeks ago ...  I gave my testimony many times when I 1st got saved 12 years ago on the radio and in churches, and did it in 5 to 15 minutes, but have not in years.  I had been thinking about giving it again if I were given an opportunity, and wanted to give a little more detail possibly ... well, this was the most trouble I ever had giving a testimony ... I got a lot more details allright ... my 1st try was over 3 hours long!  I try not to get into too much detail because I do NOT want to tell war stories, but just glorify God!  Besides, a lot of the stuff I share I don't want anybody to know or to talk about ... and much more I try not to get into because I don't want it to reflect badly on others (it's all right to make yourself look bad, but not others so much ... ) ... there are worse parts, parts I just don't share and even worse parts I have apparently blocked from my memory .... but I try to keep it short and just give the low lights, so to speak.  After 4 or 5 re-takes, I got it down to about 45 minutes and then edited out all my pauses and such and managed to get it to this 32 minute version (I left out a lot, but who knows, if the Lord leads maybe I'll try editing that 3 hour version some day ...  I hope the rapture comes 1st though!).
 Praise the Lord that he gave me a testimony, and saved a wretch like me!  I pray he may yet use me and my testimony to save the lost and open the eyes of the blind and raise the dead to newness of life in HIM!!!!  Thank you Jesus for saving me.  The Truth is truth is the truth because it is true ... no matter what you or I believe about it!  Not your truth or my truth, but THE TRUTH!!  Seek and you shall find when you seek the Lord with your whole heart!  And YOU shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free!!!  Whether you know it or not, you were born dead and blind and into slavery!  Come to Jesus!  Throw away your filthy rags of your own righteousness and humbly accept God's righteousness and surrender to Him and He will heal your blindness, raise you from the dead and set you (the captive) free!!!  Lord come quickly ... and help us to be found ready!!!!!!!
