GOING DOWN FOR THE LAST TIME |
Every time our phone rang it was either a neighbor or the police. I was always in
trouble. All through school I failed in just about everything. By the time I was 15 I was
a drunk. That was in the 9th grade. I was even drunk on the evening I was given my diploma
in 1971.
Just look at me! About one year later, at age 20, I am walking through the city with
my friend, miserably drunk, swinging my shoulder length hair, and knowing I am pitifully
lost in my life. I was about to come face to face with the truth of a Bible verse that
says, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God." That is
exactly what happened to me. The story goes like this: My friend and I decided to go the
river and drink some more. But, before we got there we stopped at a hardware store to
steal some glue to sniff. It makes you pass out and dream, something we had done many
times before.
Before I proceed, I want to thank God for His mercy, just for the fact that I still
have a mind, a mind that could have been destroyed from the things I used to put into my
body. Only a fool would sniff glue, drink or take drugs. If you are doing these things you
are playing right into the hands of the devil and he will try to kill you!
Anyway, we sat down by the river and began to sniff our glue. When I passed out I began to
dream. I dreamed I was in the middle of a whirlpool in the ocean. The walls of water were
getting higher as they were going around and around. I was going down deeper and deeper
and there was nothing to grab onto to save myself.
Fear and horror gripped me, because I knew I was going to die! At the last possible
moment I yelled out, "GOD HELP ME!" Immediately, a white cloud
appeared above me. A hand came out, followed by an arm with a pure white sleeve, whiter
than white and straight like an arrow. As the hand was coming towards me, to grab me, a
voice came out of the cloud and said, "THIS IS THE LAST TIME I AM SAVING
YOU."
Instantly, I woke up, only to find myself being dragged out of the river to the
shore. Here is what happened...When I passed out, I fell into the water. When my friend
woke up, he didn't know where I went. He could have sat there and waited, or gone back up
the hill, or over to where we fished. Instead, he saw something floating and moving in the
water. It was my hair! He climbed down into the water, reached down and pulled up my head.
Later he said he didn't know why he did that, but I know it was God the Father who spoke
from that cloud, God the Son Who's arm came out of that cloud, and God the Holy Spirit who
directed my friend to me.
JUST ONE MORE TICK ON THE CLOCK OF LIFE
I was so deep in sin in those years of my life. I always made fun of Christians, the church, anything holy. I believe there was only one more tick left on the clock of my life before death and , for sure, hell that would await me. Yet God saved me! He not only saved me from the river, but from my drugs, alcohol, glue and a whole list of sins that bound my life. Jesus set me free and forgave me when I cried out to Him. I am now a new man! I thank YOU God, again, and every time I think about it, and give this testimony.
YOU CAN HAVE A NEW LIFE TOO!
Jesus said, He "that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."
IF YOU NEED HOPE AND HELP on a difficult journey of life, . I would like
to help you find Jesus who can deliver you from addiction and heartache.
He came into this world to save the lost from sin.
He will forgive you and set free if you will call on Him today.
My name is Claire and I chose to tell Moe's story because I know him, and have seen the change that the Lord has made in his life. If you have lost hope and feel like giving up, please turn to the One who won't give up on helping you. His Name is Jesus and He can give you a new life, just like He did for Moe.
The best thing I can offer to you is the same hope, of Salvation,
peace, and a changed life, through Jesus Christ.
