The WORD of GOD.

It says it in the BIBLE that God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

It also says in the BIBLE that there was a war in heaven between God and the devil. This resulted in satan being thrown out of the kingdom of heaven and down on to earth. The devil wanted to be like God and hatred and sin filled his heart.

Passage Revelation 12:7-9:
7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Passage Isaiah 14:12-14:
12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

It also says in the BIBLE that the devil was beautiful.

Passage Ezekiel 28:12-17:
12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

There is the concrete info needed in understanding the truth about the existence of satan and sin. Its self explanatory. If you are a true believer you understand that that the BIBLE is true from beginning to end. There is no in between in believing in the WORD of GOD. You either believe or you don't, you have that choice.

But the display of perfection continued. God continued to demonstrate his power by creating all things on the same earth that he had cast down satan to. Even satan himself could not create for himself. It was only when man was created ,satan was able to initiate war with God which continues to this very day until God returns. But it was in the beginning when the serpent tempted Eve into eating the forbidden fruit where sin entered the heart of man, thus resulting in God continuing to display his glory by defeating satan and sin at the cross once and for all. By sending his son JESUS CHRIST to die on the cross for our sins.

Genesis 1:27

27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 2:9

9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:16-17

16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Genesis 3
1Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Notice he planted the knowledge of good and evil. Evil was already living on earth, therefore the choice between good and evil was planted. It wasn't until man was tempted by this evil, to eat the forbiden fruit which gave them the knowledge and curse of sin on Gods perfect creation. Now God knew something had happened when he came looking for them and they were hiding from him because of there disobedience. Then he cursed all involved starting with satan himself.

Genesis 3:9-17

9And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Notice in verse 15 how GOD planned for satan finals defeat. satan himself probably had no idea what God meant. But that was then and this is now. He knows what happened, he knows that he has already been defeated, when JESUS CHRIST was sent to die for us all and that he raised on the third day. How powerful. JESUS is alive. When Jesus was at the cross, he uttered his last words it is done, while his heels were bruised thru the nails driven in holding him to the cross, and by the soles of his feet we are healed, crushing the serpents head once and for all, that meaning satan because he was unable to prevail against JESUS. There was no sin found in him yet he died for the sins of the world, and thru JESUS we have eternal salvation. All you have to do is believe.


Matthew 28
1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
12And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
13Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Accept Christ today, It's later than you think! Go to the source (the Bible) and dig deeper to find the answers to your questions yourself instead of relying on what someone else has to say.
NOTE:The Bible says: The Antichrist will come from the same people who destroyed Jerusalem...the Romans. (Hence, the Revived Roman Empire.)

Divine Dreams

Divine Dreams

Many are called, but few are chosen!
Matthew 22:14


I remember when I was a little boy I would have these dreams. Not ordinary dreams that everyday people had and shared in common, but dreams that I couldn’t explain at the time that I had them. I would see myself in total darkness, total darkness, just me and darkness. In the midst of the darkness was this bright light that was always around with me and the darkness. I was able to speak to the light and the light would speak back to me. But it was dark all around. No form of God’s creation was around. I didn’t understand it. These dreams were at a time when I had questions about God. Where was he before he created everything?, Who made God?, Where did God come from?, What does God look like?, Was everything really dark before he created it?, etc……. No matter what answer I received, I still didn’t quite get it. But, I kept having the same dream. As I look back at this I now realize the significance. It says in Jeremiah 1:4-10 The Lord gave me a message. He said, 5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesman to the world.” 6 “O Sovereign Lord,’ I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!” 7 “Don’t say that,” the Lord replied, “for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. 8 And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and take care of you. I, the Lord, have spoken!” 9 Then the Lord touched my mouth and said, “See, I have put my words in your mouth! 10 Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. You are to uproot some and tear them down, to destroy and overthrow them. You are to build others up and plant them.”
I remember in another dream being in a library. There were many books on the shelves around me. It always seemed that every book on the shelves would fall down on top of me. At times I would see this book that was always on the shelf and didn’t fall. I could never reach it, no matter how hard I tried. I would always get startled at the books falling down on me, because every time I had this dream this is what happened. This book on the shelf happened to be the Bible, but it always tormented me, all these books falling until they all fell leaving that one. The Bible. Today I know that the greatest book ever written is in fact the Bible. If anyone asks you what does the BIBLE mean? You tell them Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. The Word of God stands alone. It’s like no other. There are many books we pick up easily rather than the Word of God. Sometimes it easier for us to obtain other information than the one that really matters. In my dream the Bible on the shelf was always high on the shelf which symbolizes the struggles we go thru before we find the truth, and when we do, you stand alone above all thru the Word of God.
It says in the Bible “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" Joshua 1:8-9
"He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures." Luke 24:45


More recently in my adult years I experienced another dream during one afternoon nap. I only had this dream once. It was the most detailing dream I ever had. I remember in the dream being at a gas station. I was sitting in a car in the front passenger seat. I had no idea who drove me there, or who I was with in the car. A woman knocked on my window and told me that there is no more gas; the gas station ran out of gas. I told her then I guess I better go to another gas station. She said you can’t, because the streets are missing and there is total chaos, there is nowhere to go. She then went on to say that people are missing, there just disappearing. I remember in the dream speaking to my father right before I was at the gas station. He said he was going out and he will be right back. I could see his car in my dream, but there was no sign of him. The streets in front of him and behind him were all gone. His car stood there alone with the car still running, keys were still in the ignition, and the driver’s side door was left open. At that moment I received a call from my Dad saying son get ready! The rapture is occurring! Jesus is coming! Then the phone call ended. Still there was no sign of him. But I had spoken to him. I sat there and I started praying with my hands extended in the air while sitting in the car. Another woman knocked on the window as I was praying and told me that I shouldn’t do it that way, because when she did the Lord literally brought her to her knees. As I got out of the car I fell immediately on my knees and started praying. I could see a light approaching at me fiercely. As the light was approaching I was able to see the earth. Beams of lights were going up to this light that hovered the earth. I saw a lot of beams of light coming from the area of Africa. Why Africa? I just don’t know. I really couldn’t tell you. But that’s what I saw. As I opened my eyes I saw people disappearing before my eyes as all mankind stood in awe as they were watching what was going on. I closed my eyes as this light was approaching, as it got brighter and brighter and as it drew near me. When the light got to me the dream ended. When I woke up I was in a cold sweat and I felt different. I knew the Lord was telling me something, I just didn’t know what. I had my interpretation of it, but I still didn’t know what it meant. I spoke to a few men of God about the dream who had told me what they felt the dream was about. It was similar to my interpretation. The Lord was telling me I am coming! Be ready! He allowed me to feel in a real sense what the possibility of being left behind felt like. He gave me a glimpse of how many people including myself will not be ready. He showed me the world as a whole as this phenomenon occurred everywhere. No part of the earth was left uncovered. The whole world was watching. Many of us believe, but yet still we are not ready. Jesus is coming like a thief in the night. That doesn’t mean he is coming in the middle of the night or when we are sleeping. Because regardless of his timing or our conscious or subconscious nature, many of us will still not be ready. It is what it is. In his Word it says,
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
And regarding the question, friends, that has come up about what happens to those already dead and buried, we don't want you in the dark any longer. First off, you must not carry on over them like people who have nothing to look forward to, as if the grave were the last word. Since Jesus died and broke loose from the grave, God will most certainly bring back to life those who died in Jesus.
And then this: we can tell you with complete confidence - we have the Master's word on it - that when the Master comes again to get us, those of us who are still alive will not get a jump on the dead and leave them behind. In actual fact they'll be ahead of us. The Master himself will give the command. Archangel thunder! God's trumpet blast! He'll come down from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise - they'll go first. Then the rest of us who are still alive at the time will be caught up with them into the clouds to meet the Master. Oh, we'll be walking on air! And then there will be one huge family reunion with the Master. So reassure one another with these words.
This is truly amazing; they are some scriptures in the Bible that speaks of the coming of God. We will see his son Jesus as living proof that his is risen. There is something to live for. There is a better place. Soon the coming of our King will come, and we will all dwell with him.

This is just a little bio about certain experiences with me. Each one showing how God was there every step of the way. It is my desire to share what was done for me can be done for you. Nothing just happens. God uses extreme circumstances to show us that he exists. I pray that this may be a blessing to those who read this. God Bless you all. Enjoy.

This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to his will, he will hear us. And if we know that he hears us-whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of him. 1 John 5:14-15

How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to the word….. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not since against you. Psalm 119: 9, 11

Whoever has my commands and obeys the, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him. John 14:21

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13

All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23


Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and on the third day he was raised from the dead.



This was Gods will from the time he was born.


My name is Milford Gangadeen, and I am from Brooklyn, New York. I am extremely blessed to share with you my life in a nutshell to say the least. I am 30 years old and had my share of experiences far more than the average man will ever go thru. I have been saying this since I became 18. Since then I had a few more experiences, so I thought I would share a few with you. Understand that every day of my life since I was born has been an experience; I can go on and on and on… I think you get the picture, but to name a few …. I remember...
In 1983 I was involved in a near fatal car crash in Florida with my Mom and Dad, my brother who was 5 months old at the time, and my 18 year old aunt. My Dad was driving on the highway and it just so happened to be that he was talking to my aunt about who Jesus Christ was and then bam it happened. Apparently a drunk driver of an 18 wheel big rig truck missed his exit on the highway and instead of getting off at the next exit and then rerouting he made a u turn on the highway. My father was driving a 1983 Toyota Tercel, for those who know cars it was a very small car. While my father came around the bend of the highway we smashed right under the back side of the truck. It took the top part of the car right off. My Mom and Dad had injuries that were not life threatening, injuries yes, but considering the crash it was a miracle. I almost lost my left eye, which was repaired thru plastic surgery. My brother had blood in his brain at the age of 5 months that had to be drained due to this. Doctors said he would probably be a vegetable. Today he would argue in good health that he is the smartest in the family. Unfortunately my aunt wasn’t so fortunate, she didn’t make it. But I believe she found Christ that night because nothing just happens, God spared 4 and took 1 that night, the 1 that was being told who Jesus Christ was. Tomorrow is promised to no one. We were blessed that night. And I believe my aunt was also blessed that night as she met God the very night she was introduced to him.
In September of 1985, I was privileged to attend Bay Ridge Christian Academy. I was fortunate to attend this school until 1993 which was the year I graduated. I remember every single year I attended BRCA, including the year I got paddled. This school is the reason why I know who Jesus Christ is. Despite graduating and knowing the truth about Jesus, I still had a lot to learn.
I attended Canarsie High School from 1993-1997. It didn’t take long for me to be dropped from every single honors class I entered since leaving BRCA. I wasn’t used to the public school system and I had it pretty rough in the beginning. Although I came into my own after my second year, it was no BRCA. Despite going astray from my teachings at BRCA, I always knew that the time I spent at BRCA would be the long lasting memories and applications I value in my life. But I still decided to see what the world had to offer. Thank God I was properly equipped and ready for it, mainly in part for BRCA.
In 1998 I enlisted in the US Army. One of the worst mistakes in my life. Seriously. I enlisted because when I was 18 I had became a father, when my daughter was born I thought I would go to the army and make something for myself and take care of what I needed to. Boy was I wrong. This ordeal lasted 3 months, I told you I wasn’t cut out for this stuff, although I received an honorable discharge this was a tragedy from the very beginning. I respect all those who serve the country in any branch of service. But this definitely wasn’t for me. For all you militants out there, I did my basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia, home of the infantry. My Company was Delta 258, also known as the House of Pain. Believe me when I tell you that I kept the Lord close to me during these 3 months in the military. It was rough. I remember a week into my military career, I was being sent to start actual basic training. I experienced what was called Shark Attack. Among my many experiences in the Army, this was the one I remembered the most. I remember being packed in a cattle truck with about 100 other soldiers. This 5 minute ride felt like an hour, but when that truck stopped and the doors was let open Shark Attack began. The drill sergeants rushed the truck and started screaming and yelling at me, getting all in my face, calling me names, and basically letting me know whose house I was in. I ran so fast to the area where these drill sergeants gathered us like cattle. All I know it was total madness, people were vomiting, falling down, passing out, personal belongings were everywhere. Just thinking about it makes me sick. It was this that made me say to myself I need to get out of here. But that was a separate task. It wasn’t easy, it’s not like I could have said I don’t like this anymore send me home. It took my two feet to get me out of there, and no I didn’t run. I found out I was flat footed, boy was this an answer to my prayers for God to get me out of there. I probably could have dealt with the pain and stayed in the Army with my flat feet, but that was my ticket outta there. So instead of being a man, I complained until they got rid of me. It took a little time, but I was back home where I belonged and I was happy. God knew that this venture was temporary, but he was with me thru this. He provided an answer to my prayers and the same feet that took me in took me out. Only God was able to provide a way such like this, and he did.
In 2001, my wife and I were involved in a car crash of the ages. I mean, this could have been the end for me as well as my wife but, again God was there. I was driving a 1983 Toyota Supra, straight 6, for all you car enthusiast. I was coming home and I was following my friend and his wife who were in front of me in their car. I guess I was speeding and as I came around a turn it was near an exit ramp where another car had gotten off. I had to press down on the brakes to avoid a collision, so as I downshifted to third gear, the car slid out of control violently skidding towards the curb. As the wheels made contact with the curb, it folded up right underneath the car sending the car airborne. To this very day I remember the car flipping over and over and over a total of 9 times. As the car was flipping there was debris flying in and out of the car. To make matters worse I wasn’t wearing my seat belt, so right before the car made contact with the curb I placed my back against the door as I clutched the steering wheel and the back of my headrest and held on for dear life. At one point I actually thought I was dead, because it was actually unbelievable. Hollywood stuntmen couldn’t duplicate this on any good day. As the car was flipping I could see outside as I had my eyes fixed in one area to see if I could see where we were. I saw a pole approach and right before the car struck the pole, I ducked. If I didn’t duck, my head would have been where the pole and the car made contact leaving perhaps a different story to tell. The pole actually stopped the car from flipping on to the highway which was another flip down the hill away from happening. The car landed on its side, passenger side down or driver’s side up, however you prefer to put it. At this point I still didn’t know if I was alive until I heard a little voice saying Hunny….Hunny……it was my wife trapped in her seat because the seat belt was stuck. I heard the car hissing as if it was about to blow. I tried everything and couldn’t get her out. I started to panic. I began kicking out the front windshield, but that was a task. As I looked up I noticed the window was open, so I climbed out to get some help. My friend who was driving in front of me was able to see the crash thru his rear view window. I was able to get out the car just before he came back around to the scene. I saw him looking around as if he was looking for me in pieces. I called out his name and when he saw me he hugged me as if he saw a ghost. He asked me about my wife, so I told him the situation with her. He then jumped in the car and cut her out of her seat, and took her out. All this happened before any emergency response arrived. 2 hours later I was on my way home with my wife just thinking about how it is that neither of us is dead. I mean the injuries were equivocate to falling off of a bicycle. 2 days later I returned to work. Years later I found out I had a fractured hip which eventually healed but at the time of the crash and going to the hospital, I didn’t know. Talk about being blessed. I felt like the hands of God slapped the car right off the road and grabbed it right before the worse could have happened. To this very day I know it was God that allowed my wife and I to walk out of that car crash alive, with all our limbs attached. It was totally unbelievable. My father who was lying in his bed at the time of the crash had my second daughter but first with my wife lying on his chest. He told me that he felt something bad happened in his spirit because he jumped out of his sleep clutching our daughter at the same time the car accident occurred. Days later he went to the junkyard where my car was taken to retrieve some belongings from the car; it was then when he saw the car that it was actually worse, judging the way the car looked. He said the whole car was totaled. It was a true miracle that we walked out of that car alive. He said it was definitely the hands of God that saved us that night. To this very day, I have not seen the car, but I was in it and I know for myself that God spared my wife and my life at the same time. Sometimes God goes thru drastic measures to prove his point. And I felt it firsthand. I thank God all the time for saving me that night, because if I were dead the truth is it wouldn’t have been unbelievable that someone did not survive a crash like that, but because I did that in itself shows that God is almighty and in full control.
On as personal note, I remember when my wife had a miscarriage. At the time we had no idea she was pregnant. On a routine physical, test showed that she had miscarried. I was upset, but not at my wife or myself, I was thinking about the possibility of what this child could have been or meant. I was angry. I was saying to myself. You already have 2 beautiful daughters what more can I want. Truth is I also want a son. I already have 2 princesses, now I need my little prince. I prayed to God and asked him somehow some way that the child that was lost was replaced, but at the same time if my wife were to become pregnant again, that child would not lose its sequence as a replacement to the one lossed. Kind of weird, but that’s how it was for me. I said Lord, if it’s meant for me to have more kids; I would like to have twins. To me that was a way of having the child that was lossed as well as the other without losing sequence. I know it sounds crazy. But I was selfish like that. I felt robbed. Anyways my wife did become pregnant. 3 months in to her pregnancy we had an emergency in her first trimester that I thought was another miscarriage. I prayed and I asked the Lord to make things work out. I never even thought about my previous prayer after the first miscarriage. I remember when I was waiting for my wife to come back from taking her sonogram pacing back and forth in thought with God. I saw her coming down the hall, so I was more nervous than before. So the nurse looked at me with no expression whatsoever, at this point I was like it’s definitely a miscarriage. He looked at me and said it’s two of them. I said what. He said she’s carrying twins, that’s why the complications. I said ok now what’s the real truth. He said that is. Well I don’t need to tell you how things turned out. We had twin boys, born healthy and sound. God does answer prayers. Sometimes you have to careful what you ask for because it just might. With God all things are possible. That was confirmation that God is listening and supernaturally things happen. God is the choreographer and he knows all things. With him nothing just happens. My life was predestined and designed by God. I personally believe it.
They are so many more situations where the Lord came thru in my life, but the struggle will always continue. Why you say? As long as you believe that God exists and believe that he sent his son on earth to die on the cross to die for your sins and the sins of the rest of the world, then you will have to share a burden. Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price. All we have to do is believe and confess it with our mouth. No one said it would be easy, but thru Christ all things are possible. You see Satan makes it his issue to prevent you from following Christ and believing in God. But God would never put you thru something you cannot handle no matter how bad you think it may be. Remember that Satan has already been defeated; he is just running around playing the fool. His time will come. Tomorrow is promised to no one. If you don’t make that choice today, your tomorrow could be no more. I have been blessed to live past my experiences thus far, and I wanted to share some of my experiences with you, because there is someone out there who will read this and come to know Jesus Christ. If that someone is you pray this prayer out loud wherever you may be;

Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior.
In Jesus’ name. Amen

Congratulations on becoming a child of God, and welcome to the family. God bless.
