Testimony!

( Rev 12:11; Lk 8:39; 21:13; Jn 3:11 )- TESTIMONY- Nature, not actions, but knowledge of nature leads to actions, so take responsibility! How?  renew mind ( Rom 12:1-2 ), mixed with faith ( Heb 4:2 );

This is my story, testimony, about my walk with God, and what happened, and the point, what’s going to speak to people is about how Christianity is about nature, not actions, because when you know your nature, your actions will change; Also this testimony is about taken responsibility, in being dedicated to God; ” I was born, and raised in Chicago I’ll, my mom was a carnal, believer, in, after church didn’t live like it, better now; My Dad was, is, a Jehovah’s witness, enough said; I became a believer at 13 years old; I heard a sermon, on heaven, hell, and told my mom I want to be sure I am saved; My mom told me to go up, so I did, and I believe I was saved, as the pastor led me in accepting Christ; My friends I was goofing off with, always use to tell me, ” you don’t belong here, gang banging, doing drugs etc, there is something about you, that you shouldn’t be hanging around us “, I was born again; “Then a year later, I didn’t know this then, but I was baptized in the Holy Ghost, and spoke in tongues, which according to ( Acts 11:15-17 ), proves your a believer, if that manifests; Now, what happened there, I had an appointment with the Holy Ghost ( 1 Cor 12:3; Jn 16:7-11; Jn 6:44 ); No one can come to God, but by an appointment with Holy Ghost, you have to be drawn to Jesus by God; Whats my point, it’s NOT up to your behavior, salvation to become a believer is a ONE time DECISION, and it is by grace, what Jesus did for you, by faith alone, your responds to what God did for you ( Eph 2:8-9 ); Why is that important, because you begin to categorize sin, by saying, my sin is not as big as this person, and that’s wrong, if you have offended in one point, you have broken the whole law ( James 2:10 ); The ONLY sin that sends you to hell is rejecting Jesus ( Jn 16:9 ), not murder, homosexuality, rape, etc; I was saved at 13, baptized in Holy Ghost, spoke in tongues one year later, was going to church, doing good in the Lord; Then, peer pressure, the world, got a hold of me, and I WAS NOT renewing my mind to the WORD, and got stuck in MY ways because of it ( Prov 14:14; Rom 12:1-2 ); Was a great athlete in basketball, had offers to schools, ended up getting in trouble in 2 different high schools, joined a gang for protection, and to fit in, then went to a Jr college in Washington state, and got in trouble, smoking weed, partying off the court as well there also; Didn’t make it in sports liked planned, got mad at world, starting doing coke, meth, e-pills, etc, partying; I would stop partying sometimes, and begin going back to church, did that for years; Thought it would be a good idea to try to get rich, as fast as can, and retire, and start my own business, and live happily ever after; Got involved around people pimping, selling sex, and drugs, and went to prison for 11 months for violating my probation, of verbal assault 3 with sexual pandering motivation, soliciting,  pimping, class C felony, which I got 30 days in jail for I was 23 years old, I was born in 1978, which is a sex charge, the same charges the infamous Gorgeous Dre had, the pimp from Las Vegas, my homeboy and I got caught with some prostitutes in a hotel that was 16, and their mom; All this time, never in my word, just friends with world in secular music, t.v., mindset, etc; Finally May 31, 2011, got sick and tied, at end of rope, told God I was done goofing off, and watched a video with my believer friend about ( Jn 15 ), fruit of the vine; Went home, rebuked, drugs, friends, etc, and woke up next mourning, and God supernatural delivered me in my room of strongholds attached to my soul in about 2 hours; Cried on my bed for hours saying thank you Jesus, and been set free ever since; About 1 year later found out God has called me to teach the word, and here I am; Point, my nature was, is saved ( Rom 8:16; 2 Cor 5:17 ), but my soul, flesh isn’t; So even though your nature, spirit, is saved, God will not zap you, and make you change, so you have to take responsibility and diligently seek God in His word ( Rom 6:16; 12:1-2 ), and you will start to act like your new nature as a by-product of relationship with God through His word, and prayer, and not your actions, but you realizing who you are in the Spirit, will change your actions; So my problem was a unrenewed mind ( Rom 12:1-2 ), not IF I am a believer or not”! I’ll finish with, who is without sin, cast first stone ( Jn 8:7 );
