I dread to think where I would be today if God had not saved me. My
drug and alcohol abuse started when I was 14. First, I was experimenting
with tobacco and Marijuana, and quickly began using harder drugs. It
wasn’t long before Satan was in full control, and I was heavily involved
in taking and making drugs. This led to extreme violence and robbery. I
had been in and out of jail since I was 18.
I can not help but weep, when I think of all the men and women’s lives I
led to destruction. Everything we do in life, good or bad, right or
wrong affects EVERYONE around us.
Then, while I was sitting in a prison cell, lost, hopeless, and
without direction, at the age of 34, God began to work on me. Upon my
release His divine direction led me to cross paths with a backslider
from the Rialto church, who invited me to one of their services.
In 1997 I met my Redeemer. By March of 1998 I had received the Holy
Ghost was baptized in Jesus name. I carried a lot of baggage to the
altar that day. But after laying it all down, and giving it all over to
Him who is “Altogether Lovely”, He made all my burdens roll away.
I cannot begin to express the love and peace I felt that day, and
still do today. Now I am 40 and I thank God every day for His Blood, His
mercy, His loving kindness, and this church. Bro. Dwayne Davis. You
Just Never Know!!!!
