My testimony
Posted On 06/24/2008 12:36:46 by Rev_Rich

I just wanted to give a little introduction about myself, and whom I am.

I was called to the ministry in 1997 while in Pensacola Fl. prior to this I had served in the United States Navy. I am 31 years old, married, and have 2 beautiful little girls.

I came from a broken home. My parents had divorced when I was 5 years old. My father use to beat my mother all th etime and I was an eye witness to this, as well as his adultry. When my parents split I went to live with my mother. My mother was a manic depressant who attempted suicide and tried to take myself and siblings with her. We were then turned over to my father and stepmother. My stepmother started beating us daily with belts, sticks, shoes, and anything else she could get her hands on. She locked us in a room with no food, water, or bathroom privileges. She then decided one day to sexually abuse my brother and me in front of a room full of people. I then turned to witchcraft as I had thought God was behind all of this and din't want to worship a God that would allow this type of thing to happen to kids. I then started messing around with drugs, and drinking. When I turned 17 I stopped and joined the Navy. A year into my service I lost it and attempted suicide by taking an entire bottle of sleeping pills, and Zoloft. I awoke 13 hours later (on my own), and was immedietly rushed to the base hospital. The Dr.'s couldn't believe I was alive, they said someone was watching out for me, and I replied I wish he would leave me alone (little did i know). They pumped my stomach, and I was later discharged. Upon my discharge I sunk worse into depression, and began taking hard drugs, and getting deeper and deeper into witchcraft, and started messing around with Vampirism. It became so bad I almost died twice. I was dating strippers, messing around with all kinds of women, preaching against God and Jesus. I then one day had a revelation, where God spoke to me and told me to stop, go to church, and get "Born Again". I of course dismissed this as a bad trip from the previous day. About 4 months later I went to a church (by accident), and couldn't leave. I then decided it was time, and received my salvation. They laid hands on me and I went 4 feet in the air as they bound Satan from my life. I then immedietly quit drugs that night and have never touched one since. No withdrawals nothing! Praise God!! I was then admitted to Bible college. I have been preaching and monistering ever since. I have been to numerous drug rehabilitation centers, as well as mental health facilities, and was invited to speak in Washington D.C. for the task force set up to talk to High School students about violence.
