Prayer Request: Linda Davidson, who is in grave condition and needs your prayers this day!
NO CHARGES! YOUR ARE FREE!
Last night I heard this story,, on a T.V. program and felt compelled to share it with you all. This man as a young teen, was mixed up with the wrong crowd, as most young people raised in large towns in low-income are preyed upon... some escape, some stay and sub-come to these gangs... and live a very short life of hell..even thought they think they are on top of the world... and this is the story of one that God chose to help escape this tradegy of drugs, breaking hearts ,,as he lived.
One morning, this young man, of 20+ years, was arrested for drug possession, and trafficking of said drugs. This being his third arrest on the same charges, and now an adult,, he was facing charges of 25 years in prison, and he had no defense , for they had the evidence,, he was going to prison.. he had no hope.. his mother was in tears, and almost ready to collapse, for she could not help, only pray.. and he, this young man, knelt down in that cell, and prayed ,, He said" Jesus, You are my only hope, I am sorry for what I have done, there is no way out, except through You, I believe in You, and I pray for a way out, and I will serve You and try to keep others from following in my foot-steps. Jesus , I ask for another chance." Yes that was His prayer..
Now the day of his appearance in court, and no one could explain this , and he new , Jesus had been there, Jesus had heard, Jesus had answered,, for the judge said, "Will the defendant stand, ", and as this young man stood, the judge said, " We have found no evidence on your charges of this crime, young man, YOU ARE FREE TO GO!"..
THIS YOUNG MAN KNEW WHO HAD SET HIM FREE.. NOT THE JUDGE, BUT JESUS CHRIST!
Now , this young man has a family, and helps his fellow-man,, he was given by his employer, money for the church, the church at the time of this given money, could not pay its bills, It had no money, this was enough to carry this church for a very long time.. also he was given an amount of money to buy a new car , which he needed so bad to get to work, he bought a good used car, took the rest and bought another car, and gave it to another person who was having trouble getting to work... now this is a true story of Jesus at work, and the faithful following Him,, for it is a hard task to follow Him in the times of this world, so have faith as this man did, and follow through with your promises to God and Son... for with Jesus, you too can make this statement,
I AM FREE,, I AM FREE.. FROM THE BONDAGE'S OF SATAN, I TOO,, AM FREE!
God, thank You for this testimony of this young man.. amen
