About The Messenger

Originally from Louisiana, now living in Arkansas, I am a sinner saved by grace through Jesus. As it says in (Luke 16:15), “what people value highly is detestable in Gods sight”. None of us are good. We all need salvation through Jesus and to be reconciled to God.

​

I walked the aisle at Church in Louisiana on a Wednesday night service at the age of 25, prayed a “sinners prayer”, was told “once saved always saved” then lived a life with no change/no fruit for the next 30 years or so. I earned 3 divorces and as I got older lived in more and more sin. Thank God He was patient with me as I floundered through life. I did not take the time to read God’s word myself and placed my trust to know what is in God’s word to others, big mistake. I lived life defeated as I lived in sin during these years. I was a slave to sin. I had a very childish, immature, dysfunctional view of what a man should be and actually had no relationship with Jesus..……I was lost.

Only about 3 years ago was I actually saved and born again. I had finally gotten to the end of myself and Jesus came in and snatched me from death. He called me, chose me and saved me. His Holy Spirit now lives in me. Everything in my life has changed, I look at the world totally different and I am being conformed to the image of my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ daily.

​

Prior to snatching me from death, He used 2 events in my life to humble me, a very bad relationship with a narcissist/jezebel spirit and the company I was working for many years went under. Although stressful at the time, I am now thankful those 2 events occurred (Romans 8:28). I now read, study and am a doer of God’s word (James 1;22-25, 2 Timothy 3:14-17) and I have a very active prayer life (Philippians 4:6) (Colossians 4:2). I was led to a local Body of Christ (The Church are His children, not the building) of which I now worship/serve in regularly. Worship & serving though is not just Sunday, it’s 7 days a week.

​

I know now that The Holy Spirit entered me at that body of Christ/Church about 3 years ago when my pastor prayed over me and I was truly Born Again and saved. I now understand what God’s Word teaches a real man should be (1 Timothy 6:11) (1 Corinthians 16:13-14). I most importantly now have a very close relationship with Jesus & The Holy Spirit (John 14:15-17, John 14:26, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:38), I understand my walk in obedience with Jesus is of vital importance, I cannot navigate this fallen world without him (James 1:22-25, Matthew 7:24-27), I am learning to walk in obedience to Jesus daily. I understand more now what sin can do to a person’s life and I hate it, hate mine much more than yours (Proverbs 8:13, Romans 12:9), it wreaked havoc in my life, my family’s life and adversely affected my children. Sin doesn’t only affect you, it affects everyone around you.

​

Jesus died for me that day on the cross (John 3:16-18) and I was forgiven of all my sins when I believed, repented, placed all my faith, hope and trust in Jesus. This is The Free Gift of God for all (Romans 6:23), salvation through Jesus (Romans 10-9-10, Acts 9:37-39). Jesus is the ONLY way to The Father (John 3:16-18, John 14:6, Acts 4:12). I am not fully mature in The Faith but I am growing/maturing in my walk in obedience with Jesus (Hebrews 6:1). Now that I listen to and obey The Holy Spirit (James 1:22-25, Matthew 7:24-27), He has led me to do things for The Glory of God and His Kingdom. I have learned to live a better life in this fallen world (Colossians 3:23-24).…...I am only a non worthy servant doing his duty (Luke 17:10), It is about Jesus, not me (1 Corinthians 10:31).

​

As I wrote above, Jesus literally just came in and snatched me from death (Colossians 2:13-14). I am forever indebted to Him (Romans 8:12-14, Romans 13:8). I now walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4, 1 Peter 4:2-5) and I am no longer condemned (Romans 8:1). I am no longer a gentile but a new humanity through Christ (Ephesians 2:14-16).

​

Thank you to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Psalm 68:4-6, Corinthians 15:57, Colossians 3:17), ALL JESUS, none me…
