My testimony: JESUS is LORD & He is coming soon.
Dear Prophet and saints,
I would like to share this Testimony with my brothers and sisters in
Christ as a living testimony to the tender loving kindness that
surpasses any verbal description I could offer. I was born in London,
England in 1972. Im the youngest of three, my brother (according to the
flesh) is 18months older and my sister is approx. 2-3yrs older. My
father was from the Middle East, my mother is Jamaican.
I will start from the age of seven, as I think it has much bearing to
the testimony that our God is such a great love for His children, and
utterly faithful, wise, just, and righteous.
I believe every true child of God is predestined in Yashua, before the
foundations of the world, this truth is written, yes; but is it not so
much more profound when the Lord causes us to understand these truths
by the events and things we have experienced? I bless His holy Name.
Sheep shall wander: ‘and your old men shall dream dreams, and your
young men shall see visions…’ I feel I should start my testimony with a
reoccurring vision that was long forgotten over the years. At the age
of seven or maybe eight I remember getting ready for the bath; so I’d
be in the bathroom, bath running, I’d have my towel girt about me, and
I can just remember that before I would get in the bath, I would have
this strange vision that I would act out. I understand it was in my
head (not open) anyway, I would imagine a number of men with perhaps
swords, clubs, and like weapons, and they would be trying to lay hold
of me, moreover I would barely escape, but would lose my towel (or
garment) in the process, I would act out the vision, running on the
spot, as if escaping on foot…
A lost sheep: ‘all we like sheep, have gone astray..’
(I have to strive to keep out much detail, as it will only serve to
cause this testimony to lose its potency. To God be the glory.) I will
pickup just after my farther died (11-12yrs) we moved from London to a
small town, not far from Heathrow airport, I turned rebellious since
the death of my dad, and it seemed that things were only going from bad
to worse, by the age of 13, I was put in a children’s home, and was
expelled from school, at the age of 16 I was frequently using cannabis,
amphetamines, and L.S.D. I was so foolish that I really must of thought
that to be a rebel was ‘good’. Anyway, by time I reached 21 years old
(’94 I think) I’d served three consecutive sentences. And, no, I had
not even stopped to consider the path I was on (moreover I’d been
addicted to crack-cocaine since 17. I think the Lord spared me in many
areas of that life, as my criminal record consisted of mostly thefts of
property, mostly cars…my life was extremely rebellious, chiefly against
God, and everything\one else. (I hope you will understand what I mean,
as I will not go into detail) the end result was rebellion against the
natural desire one has to live. I think the first time was between 94
and 95, I’d almost succeeded, in severing my left artery, but blessed
be His name; He had destined other things…
Born Again: ‘when the poor and needy seek water. And there is none, and
there tongue faileth for thirst. I the LORD will hear them, I the God
of Israel will not forsake them.’
March 1998, I was in a prison in Norway, and was watching an old film
about the ministry and death/resurrection of our Lord Jesus, on cable
TV. In my cell (can you believe that? ‘In my cell’??) Anyway, I sat
there and watched our LORD on that cross; well the spirit smote me to
the depth of my soul with something I could only describe, then as
guilt, it was overwhelming to the point of me having a breakdown like
never before. Moreover, because of my distress, the guards came,
looked, and then came back with all their ‘American-football gear’ or
riot gear; they ‘restrained’ me, (not that I was violent, I was just
upset) and bundled me off to the punishment block or ‘block’. I will
spare you any more details: the point of it all is: My LORD He came! He
visited my soul with grace, salvation, mercy, and He made His
self-known through lovingkindness. Then satan was given permission to
move me to another prison, which was more ‘better equipped’, anyway,
there was problems there, which I know now to be demonic forces. The
manifestation was a confrontation I had with some Nazi-believers, in
the dining hall. I was then moved to an even bigger prison on the
west-cost of Stavanger. Where I had a similar confrontation, and
remained in the ‘block’ for eight months.
Backslidden: I then came back to England, in a backslidden and confused state.
Because I lacked knowledge of spiritual things, I stumbled; I went out
of the way. Yes, I done worse than before; in 2000 I got myself
addicted to heroin. The years leading up to now was a sore testing of
my faith, and I know now that it’s just a shadow of things to come.
Moreover the Prophet has taught me much, I thank God always. Although
I’m still a young sapling, I press on to the perfect faith of the
knowledge of Jesus Christ, and the unity of the saints.
Come LORD JESUS. Come.
RE: The vision: - MARK 14:51-52. And there followed Him a certain
young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the
young men laid hold on him: and he left the linen cloth and fled from
them naked.
May our great God and saviour Jesus Christ bless you and the saints, always. Amen.
