God's Love and Glory

Hello everyone, I'm going to share my testimony of what God has done in my life in the last few days.

Well, the enemy has been attacking me heavily the last few weeks. Some dudes in my section have been thinking bad about me for the last month in an attempt to turn everyone against me. There was even talk of them jumping me. Instead of me attacking them physically, as I would have done in the past, I prayed. I told God I forgave them and asked Him to bless these men. I also asked many of my Christian brothers and sisters to pray for me> The guys stopped messing with me. Glory to God. :) Well, a few days after that, someone offered to pay the cost of getting my book self-published when I finish writing it, and they said not to worry about paying it back. :) That is God at work.

You see, about four months ago, I was praying for God to use me because I want to serve Him and all of His children in any way He sees fit. I immediately received a vision of me standing in front of 10 kids. All of them were trying to hide behind me. There was a man pointing a gun at me, and I heard myself telling the gunman, "You can't have them. They are God's children." The vision ended, and I cried. I swore to the Father that half of the money I made for the rest of my life would go to establishing home for kids on the streets. No conversions to Christianity necessary. Just a place to be safe and a chance to have a decent life, because God loves them and wants this for all kids everywhere. Glory to God Almighty; He will provide the means for us to achieve His goals. :)

A couple of days ago, another dude started spreading rumors about me. There are two things you can say about a prisoner that will get everyone to turn against them and will probably get them hurt. You can say they are a snitch or that they are a child molester. He used one of these, and my first instinct was to beat him down. I chose instead to pray, to give it to God. I told God that I forgave him and asked God to forgive him. I also asked God to bless him and to give him strength so that the Devil couldn't use him anymore. Later that same day, I received a letter from a total stranger. This man told me that he had been following my blog and that he wanted to be my friend and that he had put some money into my prisoner account. :) Glory to God. He is so good to us. I don't get much mail, and this is only the second time anyone has helped me with money since 2007. Also this letter showed me that what I'm writing in my blog is touching some of you in the free world.

Also that same day, I receive notification that I had been acceptedinto the faith based dorm. This amazed me because a prisoner can't get into this program if they have 3 minor cases in a year, and I had just received a major case a litter under 5 months ago, which is way worse than 3 minor ones. Once again, this is God at work. He will get you where He wants you. Nothing is beyond our Father.

Look, I'm not a perfect Christian, not even close. But as long as I trust in God for absolutely everything, He has me covered. The Devil will continue to attack us. He will use anything to do it, even those we love and trust, but it's not them coming against us. It's the enemy. Stay strong and know that the victory is already won if you just put it all in the hands of He who loves us all, Father God. God bless you all and keep you all the days of your life. :)

Peace and Love. :) Your brother,
