Life Transformed: My Testimony - A Journey from Darkness to Light

     Earlier this week, my night terrors came back. I couldn't sleep more than an hour or two without having a nightmare that I struggled waking up from. On Friday night, I felt something different. I had just laid in bed and got an overwhelming feeling of fear. Like the sense you get right before someone breaks into your house. Yet, I knew no one was about to break in. I usually do not experience much fear... So, this incident stood out to me. I started playing an audio of Psalm 91 and fell right to sleep. The night terrors lasted for 5 days.      The next day, I walked to church for Saturday morning prayer hour. On the way home, I found a baggie of drugs. At first, I picked it up because I realized it was not an empty bag. Then, in fear of my mind obsessing over it and returning. I ended up ripping the bag open and dumping it out. The rest of my walk home I just repeated saying, "The blood of Jesus". Later on, three times something happened I thought...

      Last December my house was raided by the police department. It was so bad the FBI even installed Wi-Fi cameras at the time of the raid. After I was bonded out of jail, I felt as if my mind snapped and that I had lost my soul . I found myself lost and imprisoned both physically and spiritually... I felt as if I were only existing. But, it was still not for months until after the raid that I discovered the true power of faith and surrender. I had no idea God was about to take me out of the darkness I was living in and put a light of hope into my life.     I had been addicted to drugs as a child . Yes, you heard me as a child . I was immersed in a life of crime of every sort you could imagine; serving as a drug dealer with connections that reached out further than I care to tell. I did things most people would be ashamed to say they did. I was considering writing about them. But first of all,11 this is only one blog post (hahaha) and I do not want to glorify...

       I am a living testament to the power of the transformative  grace of God . Despite a turbulent past, I have overcome immense challenges and found my purpose in life. As a child, I fell into the grips of drug addiction, leading to a life of turmoil, crime, and traumas. I was involved in drug dealing, spent time behind bars, and even dabbled in witchcraft. The darkness seemed endless, and hope felt like a distant dream. I felt I had  lost my soul  and I was merely existing.      But  everything changed  when I encountered Jesus. As you will learn from my testimony... God moved mountains and performed miracles to bring me to where I am today. His love and mercy broke through the chains of addiction and despair that once held me captive.  Through faith ... I found redemption, forgiveness, and a sense of purpose. God's grace brought me out of the shadows and into the light.      My story serves as a powerf...
