IF GOD CAN CHANGE MY LIFE HE CAN CHANGE YOURS

Testimony of Bro. Brent Parrish

Prison is like a lasso that has wrapped around the very center of my life and rendered me totally helpless. The more helpless I became the closer JESUS got. He never wanted my ideas and my ways with only a little of him added so I gave Him all of me!

I remember sitting on the front row at church, the altar call had just been called. A woman I knew to be a prayer warrior spoke these words to me, “I SEE WHAT YOU DO, I KNOW WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN, YOUR FLESH WILL ALWAYS FAIL YOU.” I was falling away and that voice was my loving warning. Never did I ever think a prison cell was where I would develop a relationship with JESUS. As I uncovered my head, tears poured from my eyes. These words came from my mouth, “LORD, FORGIVE ME, COVER ME WITH YOUR BLOOD.” The Holy Ghost fell so strongly upon me in that little cell. Being renewed and cleansed the anointing flowed from my head to my feet. This is my last chance to be True and Faithful to JESUS as He has been True to me!

When I, a servant of JESUS CHRIST is spit out of the Belly of Hell onto dry land it will be in the last revival times and it will not be long for the enemy to see and hear the testimony that has been seared in my soul. “JESUS chose me,” it took the humility of a prison sentence to know I did not choose Him.

Being raised in an Apostolic church, I took for granite the out pouring of the presence of the Lord, as well as the powerful services and life changing preaching, I did not know His love was so deep and unconditional, I could not even begin to understand His plan for my life. This Reclaiming Reality Class and being in-between these cement walls have allowed GOD to birth a new man with a tremendous amount of faith. “If I could reach from these walls to one soul, I would say, “DO NOT COME HERE, “TAKE HEED TO HIS VOICE.”

WHAT GOD MEANS TO ME

By Bro. Scott Powers

Sis. Willis asked for our testimonies on how God has changed our life, here is mine.

When I think of God and what He means to me, it takes a minute or two for me to figure out where to start.

He is simply everything to me, the one I fear the most. In certain times of my life and I would call on Him for comfort, direction and strength. My faith coupled with God’s Word and promise as in Deuteronomy 4:31, “Tells me that I am never alone.” I find it is important to also Praise God and thank Him in times of prosperity and happiness, also for He is the giver of all things. God in all His power of ruler is a friend.

Sometimes when I am alone I talk to Him about my problems and for companionship. I keep the reality that God is always with me, and watching me in everything I do. He is also close at heart and in thankfulness to help me make some decisions in a manner that glorifies and pleases Him.

I often sometimes think, and ask myself a question, “Where would we be without Him?” There is no secret, Genesis says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and earth, and Genesis 1:26 we were created in His image. Without question I believe I was born into this world to worship and love God and thrive in a relationship with love and peace. Not only did I come from God, I was Blessed by Him even before I was born.

As much as we are alike in appearance and physical movement, we are very unique to God in every way.
