THE YEARS AFTER THE SECOND BIRTH I came to know the LORD at about the age of 17. From there I have had the rockiest road to the arms of GOD. I tremble and shake in the glory of GOD when I talk or write about my testimony. I grew up in a broken family that was full of mistrust and guilt. I entered a relationship that almost cost me my family. I entered a time where the suggestion of witchcraft was irresistible to me. During this time I became injured in an accident involving a bmx bicycle and myself. When I woke up in the hospital the doctors told me that my skull is fractured. They gave me some pain killers and sent me home. I ended that relationship before I had to go back to the hospital again for follow up x-rays. The doctors found no fractures or breaks in my skull. After that experience I still rebelled.

At the age of about 19, I entered a new relationship that would tear the family structure apart for a number of years. This brought my mother closer to GOD than I could have ever imagined. Seeing this new hunger in my mother rekindled a delicate fire within me. I began to hunger more for GOD. I was always afraid of what everyone else thought of me. Teresa is my ex-wife, the individual I began this relationship with. I took care of her mother before she died. The LORD blessed me with the medical knowledge I needed at the time. I became very withdrawn from my walk with GOD for several years. This brought even harder trials in life. We ran away together to New Mexico for several months. We were actually homeless during that time. When we got home from New Mexico she was pregnant. She miscarried the baby. She finally became pregnant with our first child. He is growing to be gifted with the LORD. A year later we were blessed with a daughter and the opportunity to give the gift of a child to a couple. This couple could not bear the fruit of life with children. I prayed for 8 months till I got my answer from the holy spirit. I gave my daughter up for adoption to this family because they could give her everything she needs in life. I still have contact with her.

In December of 1996 I was working as a derrick hand in the Gulf of Mexico. My job was to pre-spin pipe casing before it could be screwed to it’s self. I slung my chain around the casing and before I could let go of the chain ,the derrick started to spin. I was thrown about 40 feet straight out away, and 127 feet to the water. JESUS CHRIST did say we could walk on water. I don’t think he said we could become a poor resemblance of a jelly fish. The velocity of the fall alone crushed every bone in my body. I was literaly dead for 9-10 hours. After the hospital gave up on me, GOD woke me up from my rest. Seven days later I stood up and walked out of the hospital without a scratch on me. GOD reformed every bone in my body. He patched and reinstalled my lungs. While I rested in the LORD away from mans problems, I sat and ate at the table of harvest.

I returned to Idaho to fulfill my calling. On September 7, 1997 I became new in CHRIST. That night I had a vision of being slain in the spirit. On September 18, 1997 I was slain in the spirit and spoke in the language of prayer for the first time. The rest will come as it happens and as I remember my rocky past.

This scripture goes out to everyone whom reads this testimony: John 3:16-17, 16 “For GOD so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that who so ever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For GOD did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
