Not that he had no serious thoughts of God; indeed he had, but he had managed to silence them by repeatedly ignoring them. Today he clearly recalls how that, in his early years, soon after marriage, he accompanied his wife to a prayer meeting and was deeply stirred as he heard the very real prayers of simple, earnest Christians. He knew he ought to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as his Saviour then and there, but resisted the tender pleadings of God’s grace and made no decision for Christ. Now long years had hardened a once tender conscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI hesitate to dwell upon those years of barren ungodliness and guilt, despite being urged by Mr. Miller, “Don’t be afraid to expose me altogether. Perhaps the story of my wasted life will help others not to waste theirs.” I will say, however, that just as every unsaved soul is an unprofitable sinner, lost and without hope, so was Mr. Miller. \u003cem\u003e“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).\u003c\/em\u003e And all have need of the same Saviour as did Mr. Miller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerched on a mountain along the St. Joe River valley in Idaho is the little farm in which he and his wife live quietly alone, at the end of a rugged trail just passable for automobiles. Being afflicted by rheumatism and confined to a wheelchair, he depended greatly upon her constant, kind care which she mingled with many prayers for his soul’s salvation, since she had known the Lord for most of her 77 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne afternoon, as was her usual practice, she set out for the mailbox, which was placed at the roadside on the opposite bank of the river. Descending the steep hillside from which the house overlooks the valley, she crossed the railroad embankment and walked one-half mile across a valley meadow, to the river side. A cold October rain had begun to fall, but accustomed to such discomforts, she began to draw the rowboat nearer the shore in order to step in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut alas, with a sudden snap the weathered rope gave way. Backward she fell, with a sharp, searing pain, and lay with a fractured hip alone on the river bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe knew in that place she could have no hope of human help. But God! yes, He was near, of that she was calmly certain. Painfully she struggled for some time before succeeding in securing the boat to land. Then with courage and energy borne of a faith that was not crushed by advancing age or the slightness of her frame, she made her way back toward home. Lying on her back, she drew up her legs, aiding the crippled one with her hands. Then pushing with her good leg, she propelled herself head first over the sodden ground. Clothing saturated, shivering, weary and racked with pain, still she persisted. Praying, trusting, she felt in deep reality the helping power of her Lord, her only Resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHours passed by, and her alarmed husband, frantic with distress, had wheeled his chair to the door, and was there loudly calling, intently listening. But no answer came to his urgent calls until darkness had long fallen. He could do nothing else, for he had no telephone, nor were there neighbors near.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt last, a response from out in the darkness! She had come near enough to be heard. But his anxiety was little relieved when learning of her condition. She gave him simple instructions—to have the stove warm and hot water ready. Then she faced the most cruel part of the dread ordeal—the crossing of the railroad tracks. Inch by inch she made her way, with no alleviation of her agony. Time slipped quickly by, and a fresh fear weighed upon the anguished heart of her husband—the fast passenger train was almost due!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat could he do? Where could he turn? There was none but God! And with the very thought, like an overflowing wave there came to him the memory of his many sins, the conviction that he was a guilty and lost man before his Maker. This was anguish greater far than before, and the cry came forth from earnest lips, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” Down below, his wife could hear his urgent, pleading prayer, and it was as sweetest music to her ears. And he prayed for her, that strength would be given her to reach the shelter of home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRefreshed and strengthened within her soul, she began and completed the ascent of the hillside. Waiting for her at the door, he reached down from his wheelchair, drawing her up to his lap. Then wheeling inside, he helped her into bed, their sorrow now mingled with deep thankfulness to God. It had been almost 3 P.M. when she left the house; she arrived back just at 11 o’clock!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraciously the hand of God overruled, for in the morning there were workers on the railroad inspecting the rails. From the doorway Mr. Miller waved a large flag of distress, which was quickly seen. Soon a train was stopped, and the aged couple taken to the little town of St. Maries for medical care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was several months before Mr. Miller’s distressed soul found peace in trusting simply on the Lord Jesus Christ and on His sacrificial death for his sins. He could hardly believe that God could forgive such a sinner as he felt himself to be. But he found this assurance from the Word of God, \u003cem\u003e“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).\u003c\/em\u003e The sweet story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 also became precious to his heart. The son returned to his father to confess his wrong, and found the father’s heart more desirous to forgive than the son was to be forgiven. Such is the heart of our God and Father. \u003cem\u003e“When he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him” (Luke 15:20).\u003c\/em\u003e God does not merely forgive as a human father would—but He has given His Son to bear the judgment for our sins on Calvary’s cross, so that the one who receives Christ as Saviour is forever free, justified by God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow Mr. Miller rejoices in knowing that his sins are forgiven because Christ has borne them in his stead. The Bible is his most prized possession, and he reads it and memorizes some particularly favorite portions. Others who know the Lord have visited them often, finding a joyful welcome as they read and speak together of the One who died for sinners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the aged man spoke of how his hardened heart was broken down when his wife was struggling on the railroad tracks, I turned to Mrs. Miller and asked, “Do you think it was worth it?” With a bright, spontaneous smile came the ready answer, “Oh, I would gladly break my other hip as well if it would do so much good again.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Miller’s one great regret is his wasted life—his neglect of salvation while young. Few indeed there are who are saved so late in life. Today he has special advice to the young: “Don’t waste your life as I wasted mine. Decide for Christ as your Saviour now while the opportunity is given you, and while you still have time and strength to live in service to Him.” To this we may well add the kind advice and invitation from greater lips to young and old alike: \u003cem\u003e“Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18).\u003c\/em\u003e Who can tell whether this may be the last opportunity for you, dear reader, to receive this gracious Saviour and be saved? —L.M.G.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":27600276231,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-100","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":27600276295,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-100-RUSH","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":27600276487,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-250","price":87.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":27600276551,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-250-RUSH","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":27600276615,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-500","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":27600276679,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-500-RUSH","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":27600276743,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-1000","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":27600276871,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-1000-RUSH","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":27600276999,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-2500","price":319.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":27600277063,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-2500-RUSH","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":27600277127,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-5000","price":520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":27600277191,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-5000-RUSH","price":665.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":27600277255,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-10000","price":805.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":27600277319,"sku":"PMT120ENKJ-10000-RUSH","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/8334\/products\/120ENKJ-1.jpg?v=1471282019"},{"product_id":"pmt-the-journey-kjv","title":"The Journey (KJV)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the age of 15 my twin brother and I rebelled and decided we would leave home and live our lives our own way. During that time, I was hitch hiking and met someone who would tell me the greatest story ever told. When I got into his vehicle, the man held out his hand, looked me in the eye, and asked, “Are you a Christian?” Here I was, long hair, earring in my ear, the look of a rebel, and yet he asked the question. Deep down he already knew the answer. I told him I wasn’t. That day I heard the gospel of Jesus Christ for the first time. When we got to my house I couldn’t get out of that car quickly enough!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the next 5 years this man would come to our home and tell us the same story I had heard during the time in his car: Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, is the only way to escape the damnation of hell and have eternal life! Every time he visited something inside me would not allow me to refuse him to come in. A King James family Bible rested on our table. The servant of God would move the beer cans, ash trays, and trash out of the way to open that Bible and show us from the Word of God the way of salvation. There was never a time where the Holy Spirit of God didn’t take that Word and convict my heart of “sin, and of righteousness, and judgment” (John 16:8). I wanted to leave but I couldn’t.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI recall one night we were selling drugs and partying. We had young people everywhere until the servant of God showed up. He came in he took off his jacket, hung it on the back of a chair, sat down in the living room, and opened that family Bible. He told us again from the Word of God about the Lord Jesus Christ! You could have heard a pin hit the carpet! The party literally died when the Holy Spirit came in! The man showed us from the Word that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God’ (Romans 3:23), that “there is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10), that “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way” (Isaiah 53:6). He showed us from the Scripture that “we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; our iniquities, like the wind have taken us away... for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities” (Isaiah 64:6,7). Then he would turn to Isaiah 59:2, “Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHearing the Word of God, I would literally begin to tremble! I would ask him, “Is it wrong for me to drink?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“If you die drunk,” he said, “where will you spend eternity?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Hell,” was my response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“If you die sober, where will you spend eternity?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Hell,” was my response again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Well then,” he would say, “drinking is not your problem.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen he would begin to tell us of the judgment of God upon those who would refuse to receive Jesus Christ. “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3), “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). He would tell us of a certain man in Luke 16 who, “...died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments,.. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.” He read Revelation 20:11-15, “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe very thought of what he read to us terrified my soul! But that isn’t where he would end. He would begin to tell us we didn’t need to go there. Christ, he said, “came into the world to save sinners.” (I Timothy 1:15) “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This then is the condemnation, that light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. Neither would they come to the light lest their deed should be reproved.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI realized as he explained to me, that the reason I was going to hell was not because of my drinking, not the drugs, not the parties. If I died and went to hell it was only because of my unwillingness to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I was condemned for choosing the darkness of sin over the light of the Saviour! Unbelief, not of the head, but of the heart. The unwillingness to repent of my sin and depend entirely on Jesus Christ to save me!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally when I was 20 years old, a friend of mine and I went to a local bar and picked up some drugs. That night I did 10 shots of Demerol. Messed up and no more drugs, I decided to shoot up a drug my friend had bought that I knew nothing about. I filled the needle not realizing how powerful this drug was. It nearly killed me. My twin brother came into the room and found me on the floor going into convulsions. When I finally regained consciousness, I couldn’t stand up. All I could think about was, “If I die I’m going to hell.” I pleaded with God in my heart, “Please God, give me another chance. Don’t let me die and go to hell!” I woke up the next morning shocked to be alive. For the next two weeks I ran from God, but I could not get away from His convicting presence. I would sit on my bed and cry. Here I am … cool, long hair, earring, GTO for a car, popular … crying next to my bed! My girlfriend asked me, “What’s wrong?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I don’t know.” I did know. God was dealing with my heart and I couldn’t take it. Two weeks after the drug overdose I was sitting at a friend’s house smoking a joint and drinking a beer all the while under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. While sitting there looking out the window, I said something to God I will never forget. “God, if you will send that man over tonight, I’ll get saved.” As soon as that thought went through my mind, a car pulled up in front of my home and there he was! I could not believe what just happened! I had said something to God, and I had to hear this man one more time. Again I heard what I had been hearing for 5 years, and again I fought it off. He invited me to come to church and I agreed. That Sunday morning I did what I would rarely do … I went to church. When I walked through the door I was under conviction. I didn’t hear a thing that preacher said … I had heard the gospel for 5 years. I knew what I needed to do. For the whole service I fought God. When the altar call was given, I literally trembled. Finally, in my heart, I told God that I was finished fighting Him. I would give my life to Jesus Christ. At that moment God saved my soul!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat day my life completely changed. God began a good work in me and is still changing me into the image of His Son!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFriend, have you been saved? Do you have a story to tell? Not my story but your story. If not, you can. Simply realize your condition as a sinner before God, confess it before Him in repentance, and trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (II Corinthians 6:2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation … for whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:9-13).

There was a group of us that all hung out together and stayed close for many years. One thing we all had in common was that we all grew up in church together. Unfortunately, I have learned through the journey of life that just because people grow up in church does not mean that they are in a right relationship with God. Sadly, that was part of the story for me and my friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Wrong Path\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs time passed by and we grew older, we began to play around with some things that we had been taught in church that we shouldn’t do. I certainly wasn’t anywhere near perfect, but there were some lines that I was unwilling to cross. Even though there were things in my life that I knew God was not pleased with, there were other places that I was not willing to go. For instance, as we grew older, and became of age, Jerome and some of my other friends would go to bar rooms and strip clubs. Many times when they would head in that direction, I was already with them in the vehicle. I guess that they thought they could entice me to go in with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou know, it is an amazing thing how when someone isn’t right with God, they often try to get others around them to do what they do in order to feel better about themselves. But an individual’s guilt, in the eyes of God, is not measured by comparing one person’s failure to another. The only way a person can be seen as not guilty in the eyes of God is through faith in the sacrifice Jesus offered on the cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce again, I was no angel, and I want to make that clear, but I was not willing to cross that line. Time continued to pass, and Jerome’s parents had moved to Baton Rouge. They were attending Jimmy Swaggart’s church and Jerome was doing maintenance work at the ministry. One day my friend Tommy told me that Jerome was in town and that he was looking for me. He said that Jerome was going to be at youth group and he told me to go meet him there. But my car had broken down earlier, I was out of town, and my uncle was helping me fix it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Devil’s Plan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have had a lot of time to reflect on this story … 17 years, to be exact. And I realize now that the Devil was trying to prevent me from seeing Jerome that night. I don’t know what your opinion on the devil is; maybe you laugh when you hear people mention the idea of a Devil, but I can tell you that he laughs, too, because one of his greatest deceptions for thousands of years has been to convince people that he isn’t real. And all the while, he destroys human lives. He destroys marriages. He destroys relationships between fathers and their children. He destroys people’s health. And the tools he uses are deception and sin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyway, the Devil had a plan—but God had one, too. We were able to get my car running. Unfortunately, I missed the youth service that night so Jerome and I went to McDonald’s to get a bite to eat before he headed back to Baton Rouge. Then something crazy happened: Jerome’s truck broke down. Now, I will admit that we weren’t driving the best cars back in those days, but this was too ironic. Once again, I have had a lot of time to think about this story, and I am convinced that the Devil had a plan to prevent this meeting, but God turned it all around. Where originally a broken down car was meant to be a curse some how, like only God can do, He turned it into a blessing. Many people all over the world right now are seeing the Devil cause confusion in their lives. And I don’t know where you are in your life right now or what you are going through, but I want you to know that the Devil doesn’t have any tricks up his sleeve that God cannot handle.

We stayed up a while playing video games. And then he said, “Hey man, I gave my testimony to the youth group tonight.” He went on to say, “Yeah, you know things haven’t been right for a long time, but I have been going to the services at Brother Swaggart’s and the Spirit of God has been really been moving on my heart. One night, about a week ago, the Holy Spirit convicted me of my lifestyle and I repented of my sin and asked God to forgive me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonally, I was freaking out hearing Jerome talking about God this much because by this point in our lives none of us were talking about God like we should. Then he said this and I know it is why God made sure we had this meeting. He said, “For a long time I hated you. When we would go to those clubs and you wouldn’t get out, I hated you because God was convicting me and you, staying in the car, made it worse. But I want to thank you now. I want to thank you for standing up for what we all knew was right.” The next day Jerome’s truck was fixed and he pulled up in my driveway to say goodbye before he went back to Baton Rouge. It was about 3 p.m. when he left. It would be almost exactly 24 hours later that Jerome would die.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLife is Short\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe next day he punched out at work at 3 p.m. and another employee at the ministry asked him to do him a favor, and he did. He went up on the roof of the ministry to change an air conditioning filter. When he did, he touched the wrong thing. He was electrocuted with 675 volts. On November 4, 1994, at the age of 19, Jerome was pronounced dead. Jerome was not promised tomorrow. Fortunately, he responded to the call of God and got his heart right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNone of us are promised tomorrow.\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e  Is your heart right?

Once the notorious “Son of Sam.” His former lifestyle consisted of being an arsonist, a Satanist and serial killer, who in the late 1970s brought a wave of terror to the streets of New York, bringing the greatest city in the world to its knees. After the biggest manhunt in New York’s history, the headlines read “CAUGHT,” and David Berkowitz was sentenced to 350 years behind bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever in 1987 after being told of God’s love and desire to forgive even the vilest of sinners, and being encouraged to read the Bible, a miracle took place. With tears streaming down his face, David knelt in his cell and received Jesus. He acknowledged the multitude of his sins, accompanied with a heart’s desire to turn away from them, and embraced Christ as his savior. When he did, new life began to course through his veins. “Son of Sam” died, and “Son of Hope” arose. The Bible states in 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter hearing of such a dramatic transformation, I earnestly desired an interview with the “new” David Berkowitz for my television ministry, The RoxAnne Tauriello Show. By God’s grace, he granted my request. We were now sitting in the media room at the Sullivan Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison in upstate New York. As we sat across from each other wearing lapel microphones with our Bibles placed upon a small checkerboard table, Dave and I chatted. Suddenly my director, John, announced “RoxAnne … we’re ready … we’re rolling” and the count began … “5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … ” The cameras faded in from black and David continued to pour out his heart as I asked the remaining questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoxAnne:\u003c\/strong\u003e David, what would you like to say to people?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid:\u003c\/strong\u003e RoxAnne, I would like to tell them that Jesus Christ loves every one of them very much. He understands whatever problems or circumstances a man or woman may be going through—the hardships in life—and that He is the one they must turn to for help. For it says in the Bible, concerning the devil, that he is a thief who has come to “steal, kill and destroy.” I believe it is really Satan and his ability to influence humanity that is the biggest cause of people becoming confused and troubled. We’re being surrounded on every side by demonic influences. But the Bible also says concerning Jesus Christ, that He has come to give us a better life, and to give it abundantly (John 10:10). I recall, back in my teenage years, how confused and troubled I had been. I was searching for something. But I didn’t know what I was searching for. My life was empty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere was a cry in my heart and a yearning within the depths of my soul for something more. I did not feel fulfilled, and I thought I had no purpose to live for. And when I got older, doing things like going out on a date with a girl, or getting drunk or high, or even participating in acts of criminal mischief to try to alleviate the feelings of boredom was not cutting it. Many times thoughts of committing suicide would enter my mind, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, now that I am a believer in Christ, I’ve come to understand that Jesus came, not only to pay the price for my sins, but to give me a life of hope, joy and peace of mind even while I must live in a world that has pain, hardship, and often has disappointment as well. Therefore, I believe that everyone needs to be placed on the path which leads to eternal life, and to know that Christ is the Answer to every need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoxAnne:\u003c\/strong\u003e And what would you tell someone who wants to use drugs, or is currently using drugs?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid:\u003c\/strong\u003e I would tell them that the devil is a big liar and deceiver. He is clever at tricking people. Satan tries to create within a person sensations of excitement and pleasure, along with feelings of power and invincibility. But what he doesn’t tell you is that there’s the ultimate price one can pay—and this price is death. A person who misuses drugs has, in my opinion, already placed himself or herself on a road which leads to destruction. The devil indeed blinds us to the consequences of sinful behavior, and to the eventual outcome of our poor choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoxAnne:\u003c\/strong\u003e How easy is it for, let’s say, a teenager to start out smoking pot, then continue into other drugs and end up in prison?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well I can tell you that the prison I live in is full of men who started out just this way. They began small, just like I did. It could be stealing something from the local candy store or stealing a car to go on a joyride. There is something else about criminal activity, too: there’s always something bigger held out in front of you. Yes, the devil knows how to make you think you won’t be satisfied until you have it. He knows how to pull people along until they get right to the edge, and they don’t even know it’s happening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of the men who are with me, including myself, are here today because we started doing those “little things” like smoking a small amount of marijuana or sneaking off to take a few drinks of beer or wine. The next thing you know, getting high seems so normal. In addition, most of the guys now in prison are here due to alcohol and drug related crimes, or their crimes were fueled by these things. They began with one beer or just that one hit of something, then years down the road, once they’re far along on this path, there was no turning back. The next step was prison.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoxAnne:\u003c\/strong\u003e A lot of people think that prison is a country club. They’ve got TVs, they have gyms. Is it a country club?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid:\u003c\/strong\u003e RoxAnne, prison is not a country club. This idea is a media distortion which I think is potentially harmful. Prison is a place where there is lots of anger and tension. Sometimes the atmosphere is so charged with bitterness and hatred that you could almost cut it with a knife. Prison is the last place a person wants to be. I think it could be likened to a type of hell. In prison there are fights and lots of gang activity. There is trouble of all kinds and a man can get cut with a razor or stabbed with a knife for no reason. Men steal from each other. It is a place of fear. In my opinion great harm is done when prisons are portrayed as country clubs. Young persons hear this and lose their fear of committing a crime, because I think the biggest deterrent to crime is the fear that, if one is caught, he will be sent to prison to be punished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoxAnne:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tough guys. They’ve been out on the streets committing crimes, and maybe doing drugs too. When they’re in prison are they still tough?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid:\u003c\/strong\u003e They try to maintain their toughness and their macho image as long as they can. But beneath the surface there’s a lot of fear, loneliness, regret and depression. Men are usually good at masking their true feelings. On the outside they look cool and calm. They know they messed up their lives real bad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoxAnne:\u003c\/strong\u003e So for those who are thinking about experimenting with alcohol and drugs, and for those who are already doing these things, what would you want to tell them?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid:\u003c\/strong\u003e I want to tell every human being that you need Jesus Christ to become your Savior and Lord. That if you’re abusing substances like alcohol, drugs or even solvents, you’re headed for a dead end. You may even lose your life. And if you were to die without Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will find yourself stuck forever in a burning hell. Therefore, now is the day for you to repent of these things. Jesus said in St. Luke 13:3 “except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” So you need to acknowledge your sin, accompanied with a desire to turn from sin and to trust in Jesus Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoxAnne:\u003c\/strong\u003e That’s exactly what the Bible teaches. People need to repent and trust in Jesus Christ as God’s only way to heaven by believing that Christ was and is God the Son; and that upon the cross every single sin you ever committed—past, present and future sins—were placed upon Him. By faith, see Jesus Christ taking personally for you God’s wrath, the punishment and penalty due to you and your sins so that upon death you would not be punished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bible states in 1 Peter 2:24 that Jesus “bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” He died, was buried, but on the third day rose from the dead, and upon a desire to turn from sin and place faith in Christ alone, God will forgive your sins, you will have a personal relationship with Him, and a home in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRight now if you would like to receive God’s forgiveness, fellowship and a brand new life free from the chains and bondage of sin and addictions, David and I would like to invite you to bow your head and say these words to God if you mean them with all of your heart. Remember that it is repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as personal Savior—not words alone—that save you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLord I know I am a sinner. I am sorry for my sins, and by your enabling power I desire to turn away from the lifestyle I’ve been living. I now believe that Jesus Christ was and is God the Son, and that He died on Calvary’s cross, taking the punishment and penalty for my sins so that I will not be punished. He died, was buried, but on the third day rose from the dead. I now receive Him as my own personal Savior, knowing that through Him alone I receive your forgiveness, a relationship with you and eternal life in heaven.

I was involved in many church activities, including Sunday school and Youth Group and attended church regularly with my parents and siblings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I was growing up, I lived life by my own moral compass; doing what I thought was right in my eyes. After I left my country to attain higher education, I attended church occasionally and seasonally; But, I still thought of myself as morally good and decent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the afternoon of 24 March 1985, I returned home from work, had a meal and laid down to rest. As I was falling asleep, a tract titled ‘Sin unto Death’ (1 John 16b), which I was given sometime ago suddenly came to my mind. Prior this time, I never accepted tracts being distributed by Christians; but I accepted this one because it was given to me by some friends of my brother. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI tried to brush away the urge to get up and read the tract but the urge only became stronger. So unable to sleep, I looked for the tract. As I read it, I began to realise that sin is a fact (Romans 3:23); that all have sinned God (Romans 3:23); that the penalty for sin is Death (Romans 6:23a) and that God sent Jesus Christ to die on the Cross and pay the penalty for the sin (Romans 5:8). This convinced me that I was a sinner and that my good morals were not enough to save me from sin—I needed to be saved from my sin. I also found that salvation is a gift from God to all who will believe in Jesus Christ as their Saviour. (Ephesians 2:8-9). I paused for a moment and came to the realisation that if I continued living my life the way I was used to, I was going to end up in hell, even though I was a churchgoer. Immediately, I knelt down by my bedside and put my faith in Jesus Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter that, nothing happened to me physically. I said the “sinner’s prayer” again and again to convince myself that I had done it properly. When I was satisfied that God heard my faith and not just my words, I got up and went to sleep; this time I was able to sleep. I woke up feeling ‘new”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince then, I have had the assurance of the forgiveness of my sin and also that I have eternal life with Jesus Christ—Salvation.

I believe that it is only through the blood of Jesus Christ that I can be saved. I invite you into my life to be my Lord and Saviour and to stay in my life today and always. Wash off my sins, thoroughly, by your blood, Lord Jesus Christ, and help me to live as your child. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I pray this prayer in the Name of Jesus Christ, Our Saviour, Amen.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have put your trust in Jesus Christ, congratulations!

A week after graduating from high school I went swimming in Crooked Lake with my friend. I was not much of a swimmer. I’d been told the water was shallow, so I thrashed my way out to the swimming raft, but when I stood up near the platform there was no bottom. My friend tried to pull me out, but he had a heart murmur, and barely made it back to the platform. The last thing I remember was standing on the bottom of the lake, pushing off, taking a deep breath at the top of my jump—then realizing I was several feet short of reaching the air. I’d taken a big breath of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother friend commandeered a rowboat and began diving. 20 minutes later, exhausted, as he looked for me the last time he saw my foot in the weeds. By now I was 100 yards from the raft in only 5 feet of water. Back at the dock I looked bad; my skin was blue, my eyes were blank, and I’d had no heartbeat for many minutes. When he put his arms around my chest and gave one massive squeeze, though, the water left my lungs, and my heart began beating again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou know how some people see tunnels and lights when they die?

Everything ready, he started his ski-doo and was about to leave, when his father reminded him that the headlight was not working. “Don’t mind that, I’ll be back before dark,” he said. With that, he squeezed the throttle and roared off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout eight miles up the Terra Nova River, there was a small cabin where he often stayed with his friends, hunting, fishing, drinking, and just ‘having a good time.’ He wondered if there might be someone there today. Seeing two snowmobiles parked outside, he went in. He found two older men sitting at the table with several bottles of moonshine. He was offered a drink and did not refuse. One drink led to many more. The other men were glad to give it to him, waiting to see how much he could drink. Needless to say, no fish were caught that day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 8 o’clock the liquor was all gone and they decided to head home. The young man was in no condition to drive a ski-doo. He even needed help getting dressed. Outside, they started up their machines and prepared to leave. The young man soon got stuck in the deep snow. The others tried to help, and in so doing broke off one ski. However, he assured the others that he would still make it home. When they arrived at Spencer’s bridge on the river, the other men decided to take the T.C.H. to a club. Not realizing he was now alone, the young man kept going down river. About a mile from the trail leading to his home, he became stuck again. Unable to free the machine alone, he left the ski-doo in the alder bed and began to walk home. Being intoxicated, he became disorientated and went in the wrong direction. Walking through deep snow he was quickly exhausted, and began crawling. Sometimes he would lie down to sleep, wake up very cold, and crawl some more. He continued this for several hours until he was completely exhausted. With his gloves, cap, and eyeglasses gone, hands and feet frostbitten, he lay down to die.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, back at home there was a father who cared and knew his son should be home by now. Being concerned for his son, the father dressed and went out into the cold February night. As he ran up the Terra Nova River, he would stop every few hundred feet, call his son, and wait for a reply. Finally, he came close to where his son was lying in a semi-conscious state. As the son drifted in and out of consciousness, he thought he could hear a voice, so he listened closer. Sure enough, there it was again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe father put his cupped hands to his mouth and he called: “Sa-a-n-n-dy!” It didn’t take the young man long to reply. “Dad, in here. Help me!” In no time the father had the son in his arms. He walked with him, dragged him, and carried him to the nearest house. The son made a full recovery from the ordeal, thanks to the love of his father.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am happy today that I heard my father’s voice. This was not the first time that I heard his voice. Many times in the past he had looked for me. At times I would be late coming home, and I would get upset with my father; I didn’t want to see him or hear his voice and wouldn’t reply to his call. But that February night I was really glad to hear his voice. I shudder to think what would have happened to me that night if he had not looked for me or if I did not hear his call. How foolish I would have been to ignore the call. I would have perished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI would like to tell you about another voice I heard. It was not my earthly father’s voice, but the voice of my heavenly Father. It was in the spring of 1977, and I was working in Gander at the time. While travelling to work one morning, my friend told me he had gotten saved. I was shocked. I asked, “Eugene, so how did that happen?” He said, \u003cem\u003e“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).\u003c\/em\u003e I asked him the same thing three times. Three times he gave me the same answer. I was making fun, but he was serious. I asked him, “You have tried alcohol, you’ve tried drugs, so now you are going to try religion?” Nevertheless, what he said was like an arrow to my soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen we arrived at the office, I told the others of Eugene’s new found joy. We all had a little laugh and a few even clapped. Being convicted of my own need, we went aside and talked on a more serious note. I had often wondered, “Why am I here? Where am I going? Is there a God? How can we know for sure?” What I didn’t know was that the Bible could answer all my questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI bought a Bible and began to read. I was deeply interested and read mainly in the Gospels. At the same time, I received some Gospel tracts in the mail. There was an evangelist working the area and he randomly picked names from the phone book and mailed the tracts. I read these little papers and the word ‘saved’ came up again, and it bothered me. At the end of the tract was Romans 10:9, \u003cem\u003e“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”\u003c\/em\u003e At this point I decided that if there was such a thing, I would like to have it. I read the verse again, and said to myself, “I believe.” I made a profession of faith and told others. But there still seemed to be something missing. How could I know for sure that all was well for eternity? I began to attend various churches and gave up many of my bad habits, but I still wasn’t sure I would be in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy friend who told me he was saved invited me to come to some meetings in a little portable hall in Sandringham, NL. Reluctantly, I went. There was nothing fancy about the meeting. No music, no collection, just plain preaching of the Word of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe preacher spoke of knowing for sure where your soul would be for eternity. There was a lot said about the Cross, and why Jesus died. I had never considered that before. For about three months I struggled, wondering how could I know for sure, and why did Christ die? One night on June 24, 1977, about 1030 while reading Romans chapter 3, I made a lot of discoveries. I realized that I had been made by God, for God. But there was a problem: My sin had separated me from God and if I died in that condition, I would be lost forever. I also learned that God in His wisdom and mercy provided a way for fallen man to be brought back to Himself. God, being holy and righteous, must punish sin. The reason Christ came into the world was to go the cross and become the supreme sacrifice for sin. That night I understood why Christ died—for me! Now I can sing with the hymn writer:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was lost but Jesus found me,\u003cbr\u003e   Found the sheep that went astray,\u003cbr\u003eThrew His loving arms around me,\u003cbr\u003e   Drew me back into the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI would surely have perished if it had not been for the love of a father. He came to where I was, called my name, and found me in my lost condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was a greater joy to hear my heavenly Father’s call. I responded to Him. God is still calling today, \u003cem\u003e“Come unto Me” (Matthew 11:28)\u003c\/em\u003e. When God calls, it is a wonderful thing to respond. \u003cem\u003e“Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart” (Hebrews 3:7,8).\u003c\/em\u003e He is a loving God and He cares for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo you believe? Everlasting life could be yours. Listen to His voice and respond today. \u003cem\u003e“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePersonal testimony of Sandy Feltham\u003cbr\u003eBox 178, Glovertown South, NL  A0G 2M0\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":27601067143,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-100","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":27601067271,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-100-RUSH","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":27601067335,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-250","price":87.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":27601067399,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-250-RUSH","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":27601067463,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-500","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":27601067527,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-500-RUSH","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":27601067591,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-1000","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":27601067719,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-1000-RUSH","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":27601067783,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-2500","price":319.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":27601067847,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-2500-RUSH","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":27601067911,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-5000","price":520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":27601067975,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-5000-RUSH","price":665.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":27601068039,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-10000","price":805.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":27601068103,"sku":"PMT209ENKJ-10000-RUSH","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/8334\/products\/209ENKJ-1.jpg?v=1471282662"},{"product_id":"pmt-the-results-of-disobedience-nasb","title":"The Results of Disobedience (NIV)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy name is Terry and I was born in 1985 in Allentown, PA. I come to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God has blessed me with this opportunity to give my life testimony. It is my prayer that this story may catch someone’s attention, plant a seed, and possibly win many to the Lord. But it wasn’t always this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins”\u003c\/em\u003e (Ephesians 2:1). I was born into the world, alive to it but yet dead, and not even knowing it. As far back as I could remember, life as a child was good. Although I had my ups and downs, both of my parents were in my life, they just were not living together. They would fight a lot, as drugs and alcohol played a big part in their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy brother and sister and I would be at one house for a week, and then in the other house the next week, as my parents shared custody of us. We would learn two different styles of living, but we picked the way we liked best and wanted to spend more time at one over the other. It felt like my parents would compete for us and we would be going back and forth to what was the best deal at the time as to how we wanted to live—the favorite parent, because of what they did to “win.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI did stay in school and played sports but in school I was not the best reader or speller, and I would act up and try to be the class clown. When it came to reading, whenever the teacher asked me to read, I made fun of the teacher or the classmates, and when that did not work, I would not show up to class. Because I was born in sin and I had no knowledge of God, no help or understanding, \u003cem\u003e“you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath”\u003c\/em\u003e (Ephesians 2:2-3).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I was about 13 years old I started using drugs and alcohol so as not to deal with things, but during that time I had to fit in, to be cool. I also started making up excuses (reasons) why I didn’t want to play sports, or lying and saying, “I’m staying somewhere,” and did not do so, just so I could stay out late. We always had food in the house, the bills were paid, and I had the things a child needed or just wanted. I often wanted everything others had, and sometimes more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI never knew how to treat a girl. I was mainly interested in seeing how many I could get. I never really knew what love was, but acted like I did. In the street life, selling and using drugs and lying to everyone, not caring and just wanting to be looked at as better than anyone else, it was my nature to do wrong. I got through High School with the help of a girlfriend I had at the time. I didn’t do it for me, I didn’t think I needed school. I could not read or spell at all but wanted to make my family happy. I did all I could to fulfill my desires and by doing so it stopped me from listening to God speaking to my heart. God was calling out to me so He could help me, but I wouldn’t stay still. I was beat up, robbed, shot at, and was continuously having fights with my family, and yet I was alive. My family and friends still loved me even with all my lying. But yet nothing could slow me down enough to hear God’s calling. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was now 21 and had a baby girl who was 2 years old and a woman who loved me and only wanted me to change. She prayed to God that He would help me, and tried to talk to me, but yet I still would not slow down to listen. So I came home one day and found a letter my child’s mother wrote to God that He would intervene and help me. I started a fight with her telling her there was no God and if there is a God we wouldn’t be fighting. Well, things did not get better. I was using more drugs and alcohol to deal with life, and to feel good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll I wanted to do was to party; my last party before coming to prison was on September 6, 2007. It was my birthday. I went out with friends to have a good time and knew in my heart that God was speaking to me, trying to tell me not to go out. Even my mother told me, “Not tonight, because you’re too drunk. Wait until we can all go out with you together.” But I would not listen. I wanted to party and have fun. That night that actually changed my life forever; that night a young man lost his life, and I went to prison on September 7, 2007, with a sentence of 20 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus”\u003c\/em\u003e (Ephesians 2:4-6). While I was in prison my life stopped. I was lost. I could not turn to the world for help; no drugs or alcohol. No family, no women, no friends; just me and four walls. A Corrections Officer (CO) telling me when to eat, shower and move. Crying and lost, I needed help! I did not want to live any longer. This man that the newspaper said I was, I was not. Family and friends came to visit. I received lots of mail, but it only helped for a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen one day in late October, 2007 I picked up a Bible, but I couldn’t read. In 22 years of my life I had never read a book, yet I picked up 66 books in one, and while no one was around but myself and this Book (the Bible), I started to read. I had started to pay attention to what I was reading; listening, scared at first as the words I was reading showed me I was lost and dead in my sinful nature. I now wondered who could still love me or want to save me? Even when I was dead in sin, He still loved me and wanted to save me. He stopped the thoughts within me, opened my ears, made me sit down and listen. He showed me through His Word that it’s not me that can help myself, it’s only Him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy His rich mercy, His grace and love, I can read and understand. I started to do Bible studies and read the Bible daily. I wanted more of this new way of life. I now felt loved. I began praying a lot and asking for help and forgiveness, but it was not until about a year later, in October, 2008, that I got down on my knees and prayed and asked for forgiveness for everything I could think about that I had done evil or might have done, even if I couldn’t remember it. I gave it all to God in the name of Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrying out to my Father, I felt this weight come off me and this new joy come upon me. I was loved by God and I started loving myself also. I wrote my family and friends asking their forgiveness for all the wrong I had done to them, telling them about the joy I now have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“That in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do”\u003c\/em\u003e (Ephesians 2:7-10). Now I’m in a new life, a new walk with God. I’m in the world, but not of it. God has a plan for me and I just had to stop and listen. Now I’m His workman and by my Father I now know I cannot do anything on my own. Each day is a fight and I will stop and listen. I gave all my life to God and seek to live in the name of Him that saved me, Jesus Christ, so that He may receive all glory and honor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2010 I was introduced to Purpose Ministry. They sent me a Bible, introduced me to a Bible Correspondence Course and have consistently helped me by providing encouragement, Scriptural guidance, mentoring and discipleship. I thank God for Purpose Ministry and the godly support they give to incarcerated men.

Today I celebrate another birthday in prison. You might recognize my story to some extent. Not because I have raised national media attention, or otherwise have become known, but because my story may be similar to your own. I was born in Southeastern Pennsylvania, the youngest of three boys. I had gotten myself into mischief at a very young age having already spent two years on probation by the time I was 10 for the crime of vandalism. This led me to being placed into different institutions, foster homes, shelters, group homes, detention centers, psych wards, rehab, boot camp, and so on (one almost right after the other). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking a look back when I was about 5 years old we had a neighbor lady by the name of Tootie. For the small price of hearing her read Bible stories from her book, she would give me and my brothers sweets and bags of food to take home. Tootie began taking us to church and continued to do so even when we moved to the next county. This wonderful woman of God is still a part of my life today, praying for me for over 25 years, and still does. She would read her stories, and then have us try to read the stories back to her as she then explained things to us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy life had taken many twists and turns since my early teen years. Family became distant—actually, I had no family to help me. And when I did get opportunities to see any family it felt more as though I was a “close friend” than a relative (and it still does). I remember one uncle used to tell people “This kid has a head on his shoulder.” My father had nothing to do with me, ever, and my mother hardly knew I existed as alcohol ruled her life. I had no direction: I was left to make my own decisions and many of those decisions seemed to always get me into trouble with the wrong crowd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI do remember that during the various “placements” that I had, I would grab books and take them to my room, cubicle, cell, or whatever designated place they had chosen for me to sleep, and I would read and learn. One book most common in those places … you guessed it … the Holy Bible!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I was about 13 years old I was still reading the Bible and not really “getting it.” Another placement, another Bible. Now, you must know, I wasn’t reading the Bible straight through. I would usually stop in the Old Testament on what caught my eye, read a few lines, and move on, jump to the New Testament, read some “red words” then do the old “eyes closed, stop on a page”, and wherever my finger was, see the sentence and determine if it told me something (Psalms and Proverbs were always good for that). I still didn’t understand, so I stopped reading the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lot of times when I would get moved to another place, it was because I had run from the last one. I was a rabbit for sure. The first time I went to jail was for escape, and the first time I went to prison was for escape. I would say that certifies me. During one of my stints in jail I picked up the Bible again. I flipped through it and got to the Index and noticed the word “Fool – folly … begins with the denial of God (check); Does not trust in God (check); Trusts in self (check); Has no desire to get wisdom, spurns discipline (double check); Finds pleasure in evil (check); Engages in senseless merriment (check); and the last one made me pause—it said “Comes to ruin!” I re-read through that list again and it was right there in order; the outcome was ruin. Then came the day when everything changed for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI heard his voice; I could hear him moving around, but I couldn’t see him. I had been temporarily transported from my State Correction Institution (SCI) to a holding cell at another SCI. I was scheduled for a hearing in my home county and had to spend an overnight in the holding cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe man in the adjacent cell was outgoing and friendly. His chatter caught my attention and I found myself in a conversation with him as though we had been friends a long time. Through the vents I heard, “Where are you from?”, “Do you have family?”, “How long are you here for?” On and on we talked as hours seemed like minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe explained to me that he had been brought up in a devout Christian home, but had been rebellious and strong-willed, turning against the Christian faith and his family. He told me that in rejecting God he had put his life on a journey toward the failures that Satan wanted for anyone who rejected God. He said that he remembered his father’s advice and heard his parents prayers, but walked away from it all. He didn’t get into why he was in “the hole,” but said it wasn’t until he landed in solitary and the Holy Spirit started to deal with his heart that all the prayers, Christian examples, and love his parents had shown him came flooding back. His heart was opened; his mind was renewed as he got down on his knees, in his cell, and accepted Jesus as his Savior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I listened to his story I was realizing that I had never heard anything like the “Jesus” he spoke about. Oh, I had heard of God, and I knew about the Christmas story, but giving one’s heart to Jesus – what was that all about? He must have sensed that I was stunned by his story. He couldn’t see my face, but I must have had my eyes glistening and my mouth wide open as I soaked in his account of what happened to him, and how this was affecting me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe seemed to be a really strong young man who deeply believed his Christian faith. I not only believed him, but he was so convincing and sincere, it was as though I had known him for years instead of just a few hours. Here I was, in a cell for one night, just traveling through, and now I find myself in a deep back and forth faith conversation with another inmate I may never see again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe talked late into the evening as I asked questions and he would read brief verses from his Bible. My interest peaked as I couldn’t let this thing go, whatever it was. As he continued to explain to me that we were all born into a world of sin, as sinners, and need to repent from our sins, ask forgiveness for our sinful heart, thank Jesus for dying on a cross for those sins, and ask Him to come into my heart, “giving my heart” to Him, I knew that’s what I wanted and needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere I was, on my knees I a holding cell in an unfamiliar prison with a person I had just met that day, praying the prayer that would change my life forever. Immediately I felt the joy. A peace came over me. I had never felt that way before. “Thank you,” I whispered to my new Christian brother. “You don’t thank me, thank Jesus,” he whispered back. “He’s the One who saved you by His grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I was taken back to my “home” facility the next day it dawned on me that if they had put me in a different cell in a different area, I may have never had that encounter with the shadow and the voice. I may have never met that man. What a message that sent to me. In the providence of God, many things came together to ensure my salvation that could have changed just with a few ticks of the clock, a few seconds here and few minutes there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have never seen him or spoken to him again, but the impact his story made on me and the Christ-like influence shown through the phantom voice directed me to the Lord I serve and obey to this day. Through this experience, God gave me a burden for inmates in my SCI, and I faithfully share Jesus day by day. I understand the rejections, but despite their choice to reject the Gospel, a seed that is planted that may someday yield fruit. But this one thing I know: because one Christian inmate reached out to me with the plan of salvation (the Gospel), I was not only changed forever, but God has given me the opportunity to lead many to Christ right where I am, in a State Correctional Institution. Praise God!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI remember the first time I became aware of Romans 7:14-25, “\u003cem\u003eWe know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin…. I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out…. So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me…. Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!\u003c\/em\u003e” This is how I felt for the longest time. Torn! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld habits die hard and I am tempted to stray, believe me. I’ve caused my share of trouble. I stole what was not mine, had sex outside of marriage, fought with the police (and I’m not just talking about resisting arrest), struck out in anger, served up some cold dishes, smoked, snorted and shot most of the drugs out there. I’ve been separated from family, lost loved ones to suicide and relatives to overdoses, so as you read this know that I understand the clutches of sin and addiction, the despair of loneliness, the want and almost need to give up, being homeless, hungry, trying to stay one step ahead of the law, loss of childhood, losing a child, no support system … on and on I could go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI don’t know if I ever hit my “rock bottom” or if I was just in a bad place for so long that I got used to it. I do know, though, since confessing with my mouth and believing Jesus Christ in my heart, I feel the difference in my life. I’m understanding and I am studying. I worry less, smile more, and have more peace. I feel comforted, protected, and watched over. Psalm 139:1-4 says, “\u003cem\u003eYou have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.\u003c\/em\u003e” I don’t escape anymore, I’m done running and trying to hide from God. Now I run to Him. Romans 12:2 \u003cem\u003e“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThank you for taking the time to read this tract of my testimony. Thanks, too, to Purpose Ministry who has taken the time over several years during my incarceration to encourage me, mentor me, explain my questions with Scriptural answers, and always are there for me during some stressful times. I leave you with one more Scripture reference, Acts 26:28-29: \u003cem\u003e“Then Agrippa said to Paul, ‘Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?’ Paul replied, ‘Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.’”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you know that this is the time when you should ask Jesus into your heart, pray a prayer like this to Him: “JESUS, I repent of my sins. I ask You to forgive my sins and make me part of Your family. Thank you for saving me and giving me eternal life, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have turned to God in repentance and put your trust in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, welcome to the family of God.

I really have to think about what to say about my life because I hate to discuss my past. I had “the world” at my finger tips so many times; so many opportunities to succeed. It wasn’t that I made mistakes—everyone goes through this journey making mistakes in life; I made “blunders.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was blessed to live in a Christian home with Godly parents and an entire network of people who loved me and prayed for me. But as the younger generation often thinks—they don’t need Christianity, they don’t need help, they can do it all by themselves—I was like that. I rejected advice, I went my own way with the wrong crowd, and went on a downward spiral that has affected a lot of people. I should have heeded Psalm 1: \u003cem\u003e“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Jesus was always shining His grace on me—I was just too proud to realize it and I didn’t want people to think I wasn’t “cool.” I didn’t want to appear “soft.” But there came a time when I understood that it is God’s grace that shines on the humble. I had to come to the place in my life where I humbled myself. I was actually knocked down, humbled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod’s grace shone into my life, and I know now that it takes so much more of being a man to live the Christian life than to be an unbelieving non-Christian. I know that Jesus loves me, and I love Him with all my heart. Going back over all of the “would have’s” and “could have’s” and “should have’s” is not helping me or anyone else. I forget that past because God has buried it and forgotten it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven though I have to pay my debt to society for what I did, God’s grace has forgiven me, so I am free in Him, free from my sins and Satan’s bondage.

Before accepting Christ I controlled what I did or didn’t do. In October 2008 I was locked up in prison. I was sentenced to 18-72 months. At that time I wouldn’t know it but it changed my life. Sitting in my cell the only book I could get my hands on was a Bible, which I wasn’t really interested in. But things began to change for me. On October 30 I was informed that my father had passed away, and my emotions went out of control. Lonely, frustrated and angry, I sat alone in my cell planning the next encounter with any inmate who would even dare look at me the wrong way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo others, I seemed like a quiet loner minding his own business, but inside a battle was raging. Abandoned as a young boy, I moved from place to place, with relatives, and then foster care, and then the trouble in my life became my style, my fists became my method. I had hurt someone in an encounter and was first introduced into the prison system as a teenager. Fights became therapy; solitary confinement became a place to plan revenge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, it happened so quickly! When I was let out of my cell for dinner, I was confronted and challenged. My temper boiled over and there, on the second floor balcony of the prison block, I grabbed the taunting aggressor, lifting him up with my 6 foot 3 inch, 220-pound, well-toned frame, intending to throw him over the railing from the top tier to the floor some twenty feet below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I stood there to gain my balance, the endangered inmate screaming and squirming, a voice from behind me quietly but firmly said, “Don’t do it, put him down, now!” Then I heard it again: “Don’t do it, we can talk!” My attention diverted, I slowly put the shaking inmate down, and my anger turned into a cold stare toward the inmate who had spoken the command and was now approaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe were familiar with one another but had not spoken until now. The “Peace Maker” inmate was known as “That Christian Guy” on the block and had the reputation of being a decent good guy. As the Christian now stood with me towering over him, a guard who had witnessed the entire episode hurried up to us, calling out as he approached for me to face the wall for “cuffing.” “You’ll be written up for this,” he growled. “You’ll probably go to the hole, when this report is turned in.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Please let me have some time to talk with him,” the Christian inmate pleaded. I want some time to speak with him.” In a rare and unusual gesture (because the Christian inmate was so respected), the guard unlocked the cuffs, telling the Christian he would give him two hours, locked in a holding cell with me, and expected to see a change in my attitude, and get some answers or the punishment would be pursued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Christian man took advantage of this opportunity and the time alone with me. I was starting to calm down, but I was thoroughly confused. The Christian began sharing his life story of how he used to be just like me until he realized that the way he was living wasn’t getting him anywhere with anyone. The Christian knew he only had this brief time, so it wasn’t long before he began to share Jesus with me. For over an hour he shared Scripture, talked about a better way, choices that I could make, and how this Jesus would forgive me. And then he prayed and gently talked to me as I slowly began to relax, listen and open up to this kind inmate who had taken such a caring interest in me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the two-hour session, I yielded and repented to Jesus, and through prayer asked for forgiveness of my sins. John 3:16-18 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of god’s one and only Son.” The burden was lifted; a smile came to my face which I had not felt for many years. I had become a new person in Jesus Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Christian man then explained to me that he had been saved a couple of years previously through the outreach of “Purpose Ministry.” He encouraged me to write to Purpose Ministry, who would give him spiritual help, and the Christian inmate promised he would be there for me to help with my spiritual walk with Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the guard returned, he was amazed at the change in my demeanor. He couldn’t believe it. He could see the transformation in my face. The guard asked the Christian, “What’s this all about? Is this an act to get Davis out of trouble?” Then I said, “I am sorry for the disruption I caused and I thank you for the time you allowed me to spend with this Christian man. He shared a story that I had not heard before and I have prayed to Jesus to forgive my sins and I am now, too, a Christian.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guard was astonished at what he was hearing, but realized this was really believable. He had heard this same story once in a while from other inmates through his years on the job. This was a miraculous story of a transformed life through the love of Jesus Christ. The guard was so impressed that he gave me a warning, but let me go back to my cell and didn’t write me up, giving me another opportunity to show that I had truly changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral things happened just after I committed my life to Jesus. My son was born, which gave me extra incentive to want to get back home. But not long after that my mother and grandmother both passed away, and two of my brothers tragically died in separate incidents. After that my family stopped all contact with me. Then, some months after all of this, I got the sad news that another one of my brothers was killed violently, and Satan began putting things in my head that God helped me overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eq\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavis is a committed communicator through faithful correspondence with Purpose Ministry. Recently, because of the change in his life, Davis has experienced persecution. He was confronted when another inmate attacked him from behind, putting a large gash on the back of his head, knocking him to the floor. As Davis lay there while being kicked in the head and body, he could feel the anger rising up within his feelings, but he never retaliated, never fought back, and never said a word to his attacker. Davis had a peace he couldn’t explain and quietness that had come over him, a confidence that he couldn’t explain. Davis realizes now that he’s matured in the Lord, he’s been able to apply 2 Peter 1:5-9 to his life through self-control and godliness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen asked “What would you have done if that incident would have happened a year ago,” Davis replied, “I probably would have had a major fight, retaliation and sought revenge, but I know the Lord helped me to react as a Christian and I am thankful to Purpose Ministry for continually reinforcing these Christian principles with encouragement. Today, Davis still has bad headaches from his beating and is being treated for them, but his focus is on Jesus Christ who suffered much more to provide a way for our salvation through His death on a cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are experiencing an unsettled life, confusion and frustration at how you are living your life, you may be at the same crossroad as Davis. Right now may be the time that you want to put your bad days behind you and choose Jesus Christ to run your life. All you have to do to put your life in the hands of Jesus is to turn to God and trust Jesus Christ as your savior. You may want to express your faith in a simple prayer like this one:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I repent of my sins and ask Your forgiveness. I want to start a new life with You as part of God’s family. Thank you for saving me and washing me clean from my old life and all my sins, in Jesus Name I pray, Amen.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving trusted Christ, we recommend that you share this with another Christian believer. It is important that you start reading the Bible daily and have a private prayer time each day to strengthen your walk with Christ.

My father was an active gang member and perhaps if he had been a law-abiding citizen I would not have had such an easy time following in his steps. But I did! My name is Abran and I was once a devoted member of The Latin Kings, a notorious street gang known world-wide. My gang name was “King Ace,” and I was quite pleased to belong. I was a leader, I was recognized and respected by gang members, and I was feared…I was a leader!

Just like many others I was raised in a tough neighborhood infested with drugs, gangs, and violence. I came from a single-parent home. My mother was on welfare, food stamps, and all types of government assistance. A single mother of three, trying very hard to raise us to be good. It was not easy for her as she could not read or write and she didn’t speak English. She did a great job with what she had, but the streets grabbed hold of me and would not let go.

It was what I was accustomed to growing up. It felt right and normal to be part of that lifestyle. I wanted to be accepted by someone and by the local “tough guys.” I wanted to prove I was also able to be like them. I grew up too fast trying to do things that were not really part of my nature. I put on this image that was false. I was becoming what the gang (or Satan) wanted me to be. So I was glad to be part of this street family; hurting people, being evil, and watching others suffer was OK because it gave me the acceptance I desired.

God has a purpose for us all. It’s our responsibility to find our purpose and live for it. God will bless us in many ways. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat was supposed to be a three-year travel for the Israelites to be free and receive God’s blessing, turned out to be a forty-year journey. Many suffered and died on the way. And all because they wouldn’t listen and obey the Word of God and His calling. The Israelites finally made it, but not until experiencing the hardship of life without God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same is true for me today. God had been calling me and reaching out to me. He has a purpose for me and I knew it, but I was being hard-headed and stubborn, and not trying to listen to His voice. But praises be to God, I finally took the time to hear Him. And now I patiently wait for God to work His will with me, whatever purpose God has for me. God is great and keeps His promises. If I would have only listened to Him sooner I would never have gone through all the things that have happened to me. Just like the Israelites, I too made my journey in life longer and harder than what God had planned for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMY PRAYER FOR YOU\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI pray that my testimony will help someone who might be going through similar situations in life right now. Take the time to listen to what God is trying to tell you. It will make a huge difference in your life as you meet the King and make Him first in your life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your life has been out of control because you have let Satan run your choices and decisions and you know in your heart that this is the time to turn your life over to God, please get hold of a Bible and read John 3:16-21. The Bible explains very thoroughly that you can receive forgiveness of your sins by repenting (turning from your way to God’s way), and trusting that Jesus took your sins upon Himself as He died on the cross. When you do this, you become part of God’s family and know that you will one day have eternal life with Him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI urge you to turn to God and put your trust in Jesus Christ without delay\u003c\/strong\u003e. Here are some words you might choose to express your heart to God: “Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and have made bad choices. I want to ask forgiveness from my sins and am repenting with a sincere heart, that I want to be saved from my bad life and become a Christian and love and serve You. Thank You for saving me and making me part of Your family, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":27601244615,"sku":"PMT254EN-100","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":27601244679,"sku":"PMT254EN-100-RUSH","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":27601244743,"sku":"PMT254EN-250","price":87.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":27601244807,"sku":"PMT254EN-250-RUSH","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":27601244871,"sku":"PMT254EN-500","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":27601244935,"sku":"PMT254EN-500-RUSH","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":27601244999,"sku":"PMT254EN-1000","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":27601245127,"sku":"PMT254EN-1000-RUSH","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":27601245191,"sku":"PMT254EN-2500","price":319.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":27601245255,"sku":"PMT254EN-2500-RUSH","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":27601245447,"sku":"PMT254EN-5000","price":520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":27601245639,"sku":"PMT254EN-5000-RUSH","price":665.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":27601245703,"sku":"PMT254EN-10000","price":805.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":27601245831,"sku":"PMT254EN-10000-RUSH","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/8334\/products\/254EN-1.jpg?v=1471282842"},{"product_id":"pmt-why-the-smile-kjv","title":"Why The Smile? (KJV)","description":"\u003cp\u003eI would like to take this opportunity to share with you what God has done in my life in the past few years. My Mom died when I was 14 years old and I started down the wrong path in life afraid, confused, and lonely—not having any confidence in myself or anyone else. I had been brought up in the Catholic faith always believing there was a God, but not knowing that he cared for me personally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the next 16 years of my life I did my own thing, not really caring who I hurt or stepped on as long as it pleased me. The Bible says sin is pleasant for a season (Hebrews 11:25), but there comes a payday. My payday came some years later after I had tried about everything the Devil had to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow I was 30 years old, still confused, lonely, and unhappy—having a void in my life that I could not seem to fill. I thought a person had to act tough, talk filthy, and get drunk to be accepted in life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1970, at a real low point in my life, Anne and I met a Christian couple who started talking to us about being saved, accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. This was something I had never heard before. They said that Jesus died for my sins and all I had to do was accept him and he would forgive me and give me a new start in life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout a year later, after things had gotten much worse, I knelt in a little country church in Duanesburg, N.Y. and told God I was sorry for my wicked past and asked him to forgive me for my sins and change me. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” That moment a peace came over my soul that I cannot explain and has been with me ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod began working in my life molding and making me into what he wants me to be (he still has a long way to go).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoon after my wife and children were saved we began attending a Bible-believing church. The first four years after my salvation I served God the best I knew how and things were going great spiritually, but financially things were terrible. We could not understand why God was allowing us to suffer to much financially. Romans 8:28 says, “All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” We continued to be faithful in witnessing, going to church, and tithing what little income we did have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn November, 1976, we felt we could take no more pressure and sought advice concerning bankruptcy, though we knew in our hearts it was wrong. After much prayer, Anne and I got on our knees and promised God we would not go bankrupt, but he would have to work a miracle in our lives to help us out of debt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGOD DID JUST THAT! In 2 Corinthians 12:9 God says his strength is made perfect in our weakness. God started a series of events in our lives that space does not allow me to list, but a month later a friend loaned us $2,000 and we went into business. During the next two years God blessed us in a mighty way. We were able to pay back the $2,000 and also pay back more than $18,000 worth of bills—the oldest one being a bill I owed someone for over 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpace does not allow me to share all the ways God has blessed the years since that time, or how I can see him working daily in my life and business. It has been more than 30 years since this story was first printed, and I can honestly say that God has been faithful through many years of trials and struggles. Now that I am over 70 years old, he is still my best friend and reason for living.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy goal in life is not to make a name for myself (I tried that years ago), but to testify of the life-changing power in Jesus Christ. Salvation is a very simple thing, so simple that most people and most religions won’t accept it. The Bible says, “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We cannot save ourselves; we must rely on Jesus Christ for our salvation. If you realize that you are a sinner, believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins and ask him to save you. That’s salvation. Romans 10:13 says, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you would like this new life in Christ, or have any questions, please feel free to contact me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSincerely,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBill Baldwin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":27601328007,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-100","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":27601328071,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-100-RUSH","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":27601328135,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-250","price":62.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":27601328199,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-250-RUSH","price":93.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":27601328263,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-500","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":27601328327,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-500-RUSH","price":127.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":27601328391,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-1000","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":27601328583,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-1000-RUSH","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":27601328647,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-2500","price":236.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":27601328711,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-2500-RUSH","price":348.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":27601328839,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-5000","price":382.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":27601328903,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-5000-RUSH","price":520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":27601328967,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-10000","price":560.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":27601329031,"sku":"PMT265ENKJ-10000-RUSH","price":840.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/8334\/products\/265ENKJ-1.jpg?v=1471282948"},{"product_id":"pmt-this-is-my-story-kjv","title":"This Is My Story (KJV)","description":"\u003cp\u003eI was born and raised in a little fishing village on the Labrador coast.

One weekend a young man came to me and said, “Newf, let’s go to town for a good time.” This is what we thought was real happiness. We went down the sixteen miles and got our room and booze for the weekend. The ‘good time’ ended in a brawl on Sunday night so I took a taxi to Mile 12 and walked the rest of the way home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first news that I received the next morning was that my buddy had been killed! After walking to the scene of the accident, I saw something I will never forget.

I left for home soon after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I arrived, there was talk of a new religion in our village. I went out to listen one night and the preacher spoke of heaven and hell.

I am an evangelist, but though I grew up in church, and knew about Jesus, I didn’t know Him personally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI spent my childhood watching everybody spend money they didn’t have, to buy things they didn’t need, to impress people they did not like. Then I got into the martial arts to try to be somebody. I knew that to really be somebody, I would have to win a world title. It took about 2 years, but in 1987 I made it! I was sitting on top of the world for a few days, but then what? I found out that there has to be more to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout two months later, I lost the title and found that my friends were not really my friends. I mean I just wanted someone to talk to, but I had let everybody down, even my parents. No one cared about me. I could say that I gave it my best and that I held a title for a short while. I did learn that there is always someone better than you. I also learned it is really hard to please everybody because the media and my “friends” turned on me in a heartbeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy this time I am in High school and now playing football. Again trying to be somebody, but now I’m popular in school because of football. I was sleeping with different girls as a game. My friends would say I had it made because of everything I was doing. I would act like I had it all together, but late at night when no one was around, I would cry myself to sleep, wondering what I was missing in life! I would often think of God, but if serving God meant watching the priest get drunk with the nun, forget it. I can do that at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo now I started selling drugs. By this time I have a lot of friends, but only when I had drugs or money, or my car, which was my God. I mean to tell you that you could hear me coming about four blocks away. I did not have a back seat at all, because I had a wall with four 18-inch woofers with the works: $3,500.00 of nothing but sounds. But every time I needed gas money, all of my friends were broke!! And one of my friends liked my sound system so much, he stole it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was really surprised to learn that some Tejano singers on their way to a “say no to drugs” rally used drugs. I had been living like this for almost a year, and one of my friends set me up. When I got to jail, I was allowed to make three calls. The responses were as follows: “I don’t know him,” “Will not take the call,” and the last one just hung up the phone. Now I am really praying hard, “God, is there anything out there?” Would you know that my P.R. bond went through!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of jail, and looking for a job, I started working at a hotel where my hours were from 6:00 am to 2:00 pm. Day after day at 6:00 am, there is this one guy telling me that Jesus loves me just the way I am. So I started to cuss him out in English and in Spanish. But I knew there was something different about him, because he would not look at the other girls, and he was always happy. As I would cry myself to sleep, I would say, “God If what this man is telling me is true, show me and I will give my life to you.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGod would use this guy to tell me things that nobody knew except God and me. So, one morning at 6:00 am, I prayed a simple prayer and trusted Jesus to save me. I didn’t have to stand in front of everybody and tell them how messed up I was. The best part is, God took me just the way I was. I HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN!! I’m not saying that I don’t have problems, but life is a lot easier when God is on your side!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI really want to thank God because I could have gotten killed selling drugs, and nobody would have cared. Or, I could have died from AIDS by sleeping around, or I could have been in the pen right now. As you can see, I have a lot to be thankful for!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am now in my right mind, and God has blessed me with a good Job. I have a loving wife, and just the fact that someone else loves me for me, because she knew I was not rich, was a blessing. But wait, it gets better: we have two daughters and one son. Is God awesome or what?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow for the best news you will ever hear: I am not someone special; God wants to do the same in YOUR life! “How,” you ask? Good question.

From the time I entered school I was bullied. If you have never been bullied, it’s one of the most horrible feelings a person can have. A whole list of insulting feelings fill your mind: humiliation, intimidation, embarrassment, inward pain, and so forth. The bullying got so bad I felt no one cared, not even my family.

Then in 2003, when I was a senior in high school, a teacher took up the bullying and made a remark that pushed me over the edge. As I left the school that day, I was angry at this and in my mind I would show the world. I was wrong with this attitude and I ended up with a life sentence for murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost people would think that their life would be over after having been sentenced to prison for life. But one day a letter came to me and made my “life” start over; a letter that was written by someone who cared. They said, “Most people will never forgive you, but there is One person who can forgive you, and will.” The letter went on to say that I should ask the Chaplain if I had any questions. As I spoke to the Chaplain, he did ask me if I had questions, and he told me about Jesus. I said, “Who, the guy they tell kids about so that they behave?” The Chaplain then told me that Jesus is real and that I was loved and cared about. The only thing I had to do was to accept this “gift” of salvation and become part of God’s family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI WANTED THIS LOVE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell, I wanted this love, so I accepted Jesus by repenting of my sins and asking Him to come into my life.

I did not care if people said stuff, or if I looked “soft.” I just cried because I knew it was alright. There was this sense of peace, for the first time in my life.

Its main symptoms are: debilitating fatigue, joint pain, muscle pain, migraines, headaches, dizziness, nausea, digestive complaints, sensitivity to chemicals and foods, plus many others. It’s agonising, and can disrupt every single aspect of daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’ve had M.E. for 25 years, and there are times when it genuinely feels as though my body is my prison. Inside, I have hopes and interests I’d love to pursue, but my body doesn’t allow me the freedom to do so. Year by year, this painful reality threatens to overwhelm. Like a bird in a cage, who can see the sky but can’t fly, the steel bars that encase me threaten to silence my song. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut I’m writing this to tell you, that even in the midst of the pain and limitations, I’m still singing. And it’s a song that nothing can overwhelm or silence. It’s a song of praise to God—the One who gave me life, and gave me \u003cem\u003enew\u003c\/em\u003e life. For years I didn’t fully realise that there were in fact two prisons I was a captive in. It wasn’t just my body that needed healing: my soul did, too—far more than my body ever could. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). God’s glory and holiness is so pure and perfect that even the ‘smallest’ of lies breaks His law (the Ten Commandments), as does theft, lust, adultery, blasphemy, hatred, murder, jealousy, disrespecting our parents, neglecting to keep the Sabbath holy, and failing to love God above all else (see Exodus 20:3-17). Who can honestly say they’ve never broken any of these?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause of God’s holiness and justice, He must punish all lawbreakers, just as judges sentence civilians who break the law here on earth. Hell is God’s established prison, described as “everlasting punishment” (Matthew 25:46) and “the fire that never shall be quenched” (Mark 9:45). It sounds horrific, but if you allow your conscience to realise the severity of breaking God’s law, then you might realise what I realised: not only was I heading for hell, but I thoroughly deserved to go there. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I realised my own wretchedness in light of God’s holiness, I fully saw the necessity of the sacrifice God had provided to save me. He truly is “...longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to bear the punishment that should have been mine. I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid my sentence with His own life’s blood. He died on the cross, then rose again three days later, forever defeating sin and death. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). I thank God that I am counted among the ‘whosoever’. You can be, too. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9). Pray from your heart—confess your sins to God, truly acknowledge your need for forgiveness, and believe that Jesus is who He says He is, trusting in Him alone to reconcile you to God through His atoning death that paid the debt of your sin that you could never pay with good works, rituals or anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaybe you’re battling long-term illness, or some other difficulty, and you feel that no one understands your pain and isolation. Jesus does. “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Once I got married I realized I made the mistake of my life. This man was so wicked that he threatened to kill me. I went through a nasty divorce and was so utterly broken into so many pieces that I wanted to die! I was so depressed and I was having anxiety and panic attacks. I was in the hospital 6 times in one month from the anxiety attacks. I was taking Xanax for the panic attacks. I could not sleep and I could not eat. I was gripped and paralyzed by so much fear. I could not drive my car due to the anxiety attacks I would have in my car. Even the medication was not controlling the attacks; all it would do was put me to sleep and then I would wake up and the cycle would start all over again. I kept seeking help from my doctor. I remember calling my doctor one day and telling the nurse the medication was not helping and explaining I was still having the attacks. The nurse said she would take my information and let the doctor know. She called me back and said the doctor said if the medicine was not helping for me to go to the emergency room. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Change Was Coming\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI knew right then that they were telling me there was no hope for me. They could not help me. I had to get free from this from the only source I knew, which was Jesus. I flushed all the medicine down the toilet and never took another pill for anxiety from that day on. I still was not free at that point; it was a process. I remember one day being in my bathroom hiding and paralyzed by so much fear that I could not leave my bathroom. I could not cook for my children or care for them properly. As I sat there in the bathroom, scared to leave, I called a friend. She told me that it was all in my mind. My mind was telling me I could not leave my bathroom, I could not cook, and I could not drive. (In reality it was just the devil filling my head with all those lies.) She had a granddaughter who was brain dead and her body did not function properly. My friend told me that if her granddaughter’s mind would function properly, her body would follow in line. That hit me and I understood completely for myself how I had been listening to the lies of the enemy and he had me scared to do anything. If I tried to exercise he would tell me I would stop breathing and I would believe him.

Years of circumstances had caught up with me and all of my failures weighed heavy on my mind and wracked my body with stress!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMy failures ...\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst and most hurtful was my rocky childhood of not getting along with my family and how it continued to be strained throughout all of my adult life. Secondly there was my failed  Hollywood acting dream and with that gone, and me back in my hometown again, I had no hope for an exciting future. There was the downward spiraling experience of becoming a New Ager while out in L.A. and how it messed up my mind and brought a darkness to my life that I couldn’t shake, even after leaving its false teachings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere was my divorce ten years back that had broken my heart and turned me sour against love; followed by a string of live-in boyfriends that were not much better to me than my husband. There was the abortion I had in my early 20’s that now caused me guilt and sorrow over what I had done to my baby. There was the fact that I didn’t want anything in life that hadn’t already rejected me and in some cases rejected me many times over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA desperate prayer ...\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith every area of my life feeling ruined, I prayed an extra prayer that night because I didn’t know what else to do. I prayed a prayer of desperation: “God please help me, you just have to help me, I can’t take this stress anymore, everything always turns out so horrible and I have no hope left.” The very second I finished my pleading prayer, these words came into my mind: “I will take the spirit of trouble from you, but you must put me first in your life.” I wasn’t sure who said these words to me until a wave of peace swept over my body and completely delivered me from the stress that had been consuming me! Then immediately after that, I felt love, pure love, come pouring into my soul! In that second, I knew it was Jesus! It was Jesus who had heard my desperate prayer and He was answering it! You see I had grown up on Bible stories and had been taught about the love and miracles of Jesus!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere was one more thing Jesus conveyed to me as I lay basking in His amazing love and that was that the Bible is 100% true! As soon as Jesus revealed this to me, I felt convicted and knew that my life had gone repeatedly wrong because I had never read or obeyed the Bible. The next morning I awoke with a joy and hope that I had never had before and I immediately told God that He would be #1 in my life because I wanted keep what I had been given—a new lease on life! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA new beginning ...\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo you need a new beginning? Are you tired of battling the world all by yourself and failing? Jesus is waiting for you to call out to Him so He can take the world’s burdens off of you and make all things new. He died on the Cross of Calvary for you, to pay for your sins and to make peace between you and God. You see, sin keeps mankind separate from God because God is too Holy to allow sin near Him. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” So mankind needed a Savior, someone who could meet God’s requirement of perfection and also reach down to us. Jesus fulfilled that because He is God and He became a man. The Bible says: “For He [God] made Him [Jesus] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). And John 1:12 says: “But as many as received Him [Jesus], to them He gave the right to become children of God.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake this moment and tell Jesus that you believe He died on the cross for you and ask Him to forgive you of your sins. Make Him your Lord and Savior and begin to follow Him by reading the Bible and obeying it. Jesus won’t abuse you like others have; He will lead you gently, protect you and bring you to a good place in this life and after. Put your faith in Him today and you will spend eternity in heaven with God!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

Also, he evacuated prayer-books and Bibles as well as some barley seed. But disheartened by the Pacific island’s bad weather for growing barley, he threw out the seed in anger. Several months later when he saw the sprouts surprisingly growing, the first thoughts stirred in his soul that a Providential God must have miraculously caused this grain to grow and therefore had not abandoned him! He figured he was not alone on the island after all and began to read the Bible intently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew challenges came upon Robinson Crusoe on the island. He was tested by an earthquake that caved in his dug-earth island home, and then by sickness to the brink of death which reminded him of his 8 years of seafaring wickedness preceding the shipwreck. It was at this time a fever-induced vision of the devil haunted him and threatened to spear him for all the past wrongs he had done—especially the slave trade. In the midst of the torment, Robinson Crusoe called out to God to have pity and mercy on him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy “marooning” challenge started alone with a 6-day 2000-mile drive away from home toward my new job, and during that time my mind wrestled with why this trial had come upon me. In the Bible, Solomon wrote that “God tests men so that they may see that they are like animals” (Ecclesiastes 3:18)—in other words, to humble them to see their imperfections. Even Jesus was sent to the desert for 40 days and nights to be tested by the devil’s temptations after prolonged fasting and loneliness before He began to fulfill His life’s purpose. Jesus’ earthly family and village neighbors also drove Him out of town! Jesus was essentially homeless and had “no place to lay His head” (Matthew 8:20). He probably often slept outdoors, in unheated dwellings and even in boats. If even Jesus was so severely tested under adversity and found true, could His victories become useful to the outcome of my own testing? Jesus says, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his desperation to survive, Robinson Crusoe took up one of the Bibles and was helped by the words, “call on Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me” (Psalms 50:15). Crusoe began to ask God to deliver him from the lonely island and studied the Bible intensely looking for survival hope. His trial had been for this very purpose—to drive him to go deeper with his Creator. Over time, and through readings of the Scriptures, Jesus yokes powerfully with Robinson Crusoe. Next, Crusoe enters his greatest chapter of testing—he discovers footprints in the sand and an epic friendship is forged. With the changes Christ wrought, Crusoe, the former slave trader and abuser now becomes the rescuer of a savage native from cannibals. Crusoe names him Friday for the day he found him. The two become closest friends and go on to have many adventures in which they would save one another’s lives from dangers reflective of their ever-deepening relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bible tells us that all of our righteousness, including the very best things we ever do, are so permeated with sin and selfishness that they “are like filthy rags” in God’s sight (Isaiah 64:6). Obviously for my challenge, I would need the stabilizing power of Jesus Christ in my life. And my wife and children would need the stabilizing helps from God as well. The Bible says, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). I confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead and more importantly started centering my life upon this Bible fact. I wondered, “how powerful a stabilizing reality is the sacrificial blood of Jesus?” Would the power of Jesus keep my family centered on the virtues of living the way the Bible advises even against the instability of this world’s chaos? Would Jesus preserve my marriage? Would my children continue on a righteous and productive path? “If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth … [we have] trampled the Son of God underfoot” (Hebrews 10:26-29). Would we find the footprints of Jesus stepping forward to help our family, or would Jesus find our footprints trampling on His Holy Name?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I contemplated how Jesus handled His last and most difficult testing on the cross, even forgiving those who crucified Him and a thief who was crucified with Him, it hit me fresh that \u003cstrong\u003eJesus is the Amazing Grace I need more of\u003c\/strong\u003e. Spending more of my time reading the Bible to be strengthened and sanctified by the truth of God’s Word (John 17:17) has increased my obedience to God \u003cstrong\u003eonly\u003c\/strong\u003e by Christ’s ongoing empowerment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBilly Graham’s daughter, Anne Graham Lotz, recently stated in her Winter 2013 newsletter, “My parents encouraged me to set my spiritual compass so that the ‘needle’ of my faith always pointed to the Bible, God’s Word. In fact, my mother inscribed my first Bible with these words, \u003cem\u003e‘This is your sure guide in an unsure world. Read it, study it, love it, live it. In it you will find a verse for every occasion.’\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the years of isolation passed I was inspired to hunt ways Bible people were obedient to Jesus and pray those obedient Bible ways into my wife, children, loved ones and me. I found my Bible full of epic stories about men and women tested by imprisonments, shipwrecks, wanderings, slavery, captivities, sicknesses and isolation of many kinds that go way beyond the story of Robinson Crusoe. With greater communion with Jesus through Bible reading, prayer, church  attendance and worship, my marriage and family become more stable and hold together \u003cstrong\u003eonly\u003c\/strong\u003e in Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Crusoe and Friday became friends building bridges, canoes, shelters, hunting, defending, and farming together, Crusoe wanted the great benefits of deepening help from Amazing Grace that he had been given to also be given to his best friend. He knew from the Bible that God has “set eternity in the human heart” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). So Crusoe taught Friday the English language and they spent many nights discussing different beliefs while often reading from the Bible. Christ helped them both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne day I discovered that Jesus states, “I am the Alpha and the Omega” three times (Revelation 1:8, 21:6, 22:13). I desired more of those vast Amazing Graces of Jesus imbedded in the Alpha to Omega concept, the A to Z of all creation found in Christ and in prayer to and with Him. So I earnestly went deeper to investigate Jesus—for example, how Jesus, when voluntarily sacrificing His life on the cross for our sins, forgave those responsible for nailing Him to the cross. I often share my amazements with my wife and she helps me by praying with me every night on the phone before going to sleep, still a thousand miles apart. Robinson Crusoe helped Friday, and Friday helped Crusoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart-throb of the Bible is the transaction between God and man when Jesus died on the cross and three days later arose from His grave. By soaking in fresh thoughts of what happened on and after the cross in each dimension of His amazing victories—for example, how Jesus, as He voluntarily gave up His life for our sins, He forgave those who nailed Him to the cross—we will be set free from temptation and promoted toward service with Christ for others. How can we keep such Amazing Grace to ourselves?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summary, the best concepts about Jesus for your purpose are those that \u003cstrong\u003eyou\u003c\/strong\u003e soak in and absorb from the Bible and find by perseverance you can overcome in \u003cstrong\u003eyour\u003c\/strong\u003e specific God-allowed challenge. Why the challenge? For us to find out that Jesus is really alive and wanting to love us into His closest circle of family friends! Just like Robinson Crusoe, we all need to be placed outside our comfort zones to have the chance to ask for the Author of Amazing Grace to come into our lives in a bigger way. What life challenge will it take for you to dig deeper and fight harder for Amazing Grace? When in your life have you been closest to Jesus? I hope it is now! Wherever you find yourself now dear reader, just as you are, I urge you to evaluate how you miss the mark of God according to the ten commandments (found in Exodus 20:3-17), then confess your sins out loud to God and ask Jesus to come into your life, believing in your heart that Jesus died for your sins and was raised by God from the dead: \u003cstrong\u003e“If you confess with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).\u003c\/strong\u003e Then read the Bible, obey what it says by asking Jesus into your life’s challenges in bigger ways, focusing on the fresh footprints of Amazing Grace helping you and tell someone about your newfound joys in life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease look again at the front cover picture of footprints coming toward you up out of the ocean. As you do, look for Amazing Grace stepping forward to help you \u003cstrong\u003eif\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e(and ONLY IF)\u003c\/strong\u003e you ask Jesus into your life.

People promise that they will change, even leaders promise changes, but talk is easy. If man talks from his mouth without the guidance of God, it is just that … talk! Change that comes about by man is dictated. But when God is part of the attitude of change, there is a new perspective to how change occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy name is Neil and I have served many years in prison. I am not happy about it, but I am glad because prison saved my life. It provided me with the unique opportunity to know Jesus, and trust in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and grow into a loving relationship with my heavenly Father. I would go to prison for twice my current time just for that relationship that I have with Jesus Christ. That’s how important God’s unconditional love is to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBEFORE I TRUSTED CHRIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI knew about Jesus when I was a small child. I always believed in Him. I was taught in Sunday School and read the Bible with my mom and grandmother. As I grew older I stopped going to church and reading my Bible. It wasn’t because I didn’t believe anymore, but because I wanted to do what most teens want to do—have fun and live my life on my terms. As I enjoyed my “freedom” I started down the wrong path. I disrespected my mom, I was hanging around with the wrong crowd, drinking, and selling drugs … I wanted to be down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was so filled with bitterness and rebellion. I hated everyone who got in the way of my doing my own thing. I felt that anyone who tried to help me was in my way as I developed an “I don’t care” attitude. I ended up becoming an alcoholic; I burned a lot of bridges and ended up in some very bad relationships. I cut myself off from people when they got too close, or when I got what I wanted and didn’t need them anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis attitude and being on alcohol had robbed me of all the things I could have had in life had I been a sober person and in touch with God: a college education, a good career, and loving relationships. I was in and out of jail most of my young adult life due to drinking. I conned or stole what I wanted and had no sympathy for whoever got hurt in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW I TRUSTED CHRIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was convinced that everyone else had problems, except me. This thinking led me to believe that no one understood me or loved me. I felt under-appreciated, and furthered my depression and self-medicating with alcohol. The more I drank, the worse I felt. The worse I felt, the more I drank. It was a vicious cycle, headed for a certain death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne day while I was in prison my cell mate invited me to church. I said that I would go because I thought I knew all about Jesus, so what would it hurt. At the Bible study I heard people talk a little about their lives and thought “these inmates are just like me—broken.” But they had one thing I didn’t have, and that was the love that comes from trusting God. One of the inmates, after learning of my story, told me that God loves me even when I do wrong. I didn’t believe him because everyone judges me, and no one forgets my mistakes and the first opportunity they get, they will throw it in my face. This is the thinking that Satan had blinded me with, \u003cem\u003e“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” (2 Corinthians 4:4).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this inmate was so convincing that I wanted to believe. He advised me to read 1 Corinthians 13. He called it \u003cem\u003e“The Love Chapter.”\u003c\/em\u003e That night in my cell I read the Love Chapter and got to verse five and read that love “keeps no record of wrongs” (1 Corinthians 13:5-6). I was so shocked I fell to my knees and prayed for forgiveness and for Jesus to come into my life and show me this unconditional love. And He did … and He has! From then on I have been a different man. I now have joy! Jesus isn’t just my Savior and Lord, but He’s my friend!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSINCE I’VE TRUSTED JESUS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince I trusted Jesus as my Savior I have grown a heart for Him. I care about things and people that I took for granted. I care about reading and studying my Bible. I care about talking to God each day through prayer. I grow closer to God every day as my walk with Him strengthens. I have a conscience now and care about people and situations, and am convicted if I do wrong. Previously broken relationships are now mending. I am excited that, even though I am in prison, I have this new opportunity to be a loving father, husband, brother, and son. My mom has become my big encouragement. She tells me she loves me and I realize now that she has always loved me, but I was too selfish and self-centered to see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow you know why I am glad to be in prison … because it’s where I really met Jesus. I knew about Him and who He is, but as Job said, “now my eyes have seen you” (Job 42:5). It may seem that my past was ruined but I now see that God was always in control and there never was a “Plan B,” just a second chance.

Never give up: trust, hope and have faith in God and always remember He loves you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI found myself gazing into the ceiling as I lay in bed morning and night—sometimes with tears I could not hold back. I found myself doing the same exact thing throughout the day as I gazed into the blue sky. I found myself questioning God as I was waiting for answers. I felt like my life was at a total standstill, nothing was adding up according to God’s promises in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. I knew in my heart that God loved me but at times my soul felt empty and my thought process was full of doubt. I was struggling with everyday struggles, trials and tribulations, finding myself wanting to give up on God. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI knew God had a plan and purpose for my life here on earth. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” I didn’t know God’s plans for my life or my purpose in being here but somehow I knew I had to wait patiently on God to move in my life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bible encourages us to wait for God to act in His timing, even when our needs seems too great to wait any longer: “We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized.” (Hebrews 6:11). I didn’t understand what the plan was that God had in store for me, but there was definitely a purpose for me being here. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was raised in church all my life as a Christian, a pastor’s son, an ordained deacon and also a praise team leader. Yet I somehow wandered off course in my Christian journey, and my soul was filling up with guilt and shame. Satan tried to lead me in the direction that wasn’t what God had in His plan for my life. The road was very ugly and full of sin which pretty much destroyed my marriage and family. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI praise God for giving me a praying wife. She never once gave up on me despite my sinful acts. By God’s grace and His plans that He had as my destiny, God’s Word and the Holy Spirit led me back into the right direction and put me back on God’s map for my life. I knew God had forgiven my sins as I confessed them to Him personally. Psalm 130:1-8 truly states God will surely forgive us if we confess our sin to Him. God’s love for me was bigger than I could ever imagine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod has a plan and purpose in our everyday walk with Him. We must be obedient to God’s words in the Bible, obey His commands, trust and have faith in Him. We need to love Him with all our heart, mind and soul (Matthew 22:37). We must obey the Holy Spirit’s direction in reference to the plans God’s already mapped out for us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plans I had mapped out somehow weren’t lining up with God’s plans. I was trying to draw up a diagram of my future, plot out a plan that would guide me in the right direction, but unfortunately it wasn’t what God wanted. I wasn’t letting God’s plans direct my life. I was planning my life according to my own selfish desires and excluding God. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProverb 16:9 says, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”  So I decided to pray about it. I went to God with humbleness and a sincere heart, asking God to determine my steps, and lead me in the direction He mapped out for me to go. I wanted to be led by the Holy Spirit to reach His destination, not the ones I had planned. After I prayed, I waited patiently for God’s plans to work in my life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” (Deuteronomy 31:8). There was now no need for me to worry about my future because I knew God was with me every day of my life. He truly states that He will never leave me. His plan was already predestined even before I was born: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet” (Jeremiah 1:5). Praise God!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour ways may seems weary and tired, your days may seems dark and lonely.  Everything may seem to be at a standstill. The road you’re traveling down may be going in the wrong direction, or the map you’ve chosen to follow could be incorrect or outdated. Whatever you are going through in life, pray and ask God for direction and guidance. Ask Him to provide you with the right map: His plan for your life and your purpose for being here on earth. Then study God’s Word to learn what His will is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe map God has for you will cause you to head in the right direction. His map will not get you lost, because it will lead you into the plans He has for your life.  Remember God loves us so much that he gave His only begotten son Jesus Christ who paid the price for our sins and sins of the world.  “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI knew my Father in heaven had a plan and purpose for my life and He has the same for you. Confess your sins to him, believe in your heart that His son Jesus Christ paid the price for your sins when he was crucified on the cross and then raised from the dead. Read and study His word daily and obey His commands, and He will be with you every hour of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI can truly say, one of God’s plans is for me is to continue to write gospel tracts like this one to encourage believers and non-believers throughout the entire world to follow in the direction of His son Jesus Christ. My brothers and sisters: stay encouraged, meditate on God’s words daily, and DON’T GIVE UP!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHOLD ON, remember God has a plan and a purpose for your life. You are here for a reason not a season. God loves you more than your heart can even imagine.  —Copyright © 2013 by Darrell Richmond\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":27602320775,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-100","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":27602320903,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-100-RUSH","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":27602320967,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-250","price":87.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":27602321031,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-250-RUSH","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":27602321095,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-500","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":27602321159,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-500-RUSH","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602321223,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-1000","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602321351,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-1000-RUSH","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602321479,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-2500","price":319.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602321543,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-2500-RUSH","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602321671,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-5000","price":520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602321735,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-5000-RUSH","price":665.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602321799,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-10000","price":805.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602321863,"sku":"PMT425ENNI-10000-RUSH","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/8334\/products\/425ENNI-1.jpg?v=1471283786"},{"product_id":"pmt-knocking-on-heavens-door","title":"Knocking on Heaven's Door","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“You’ll find your peace through Jesus Christ.” \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat’s what was told to me by an old woman on the bus one morning in 2002. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy day started like any other … strung out from a night of smoking crack and loud pounding on my motel room door, the manager outside demanding I pay for another day or get out. I filled my pipe with my last piece of crack and smoked it to clear away the cobwebs from my head, then caught a bus with my last dollar. I needed to go rob some store to get money to buy more crack. We were the only two on the bus. I noticed her looking at me thoughtfully for a minute or two when she said:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“You’re lost and alone and your life is not going the way it should.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI just looked at her and hung my head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“You’ll find your peace through Jesus Christ” she continued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomething changed inside of me right then: a spark was lit. Though I was a drug addict, those words of truth, “Peace through Jesus Christ” became a planted seed … and they saved my life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore I continue, I want to tell you a little about myself. In the spring of 2001 I was on top of the world. I was young and had a great job with an excellent salary. I had a wife \u0026amp; three children, about $12,000 in the bank, 2 cars, a beautiful house with a large yard and pool. I was very proud of these things and thought I had done it all myself … God was not a big factor in my life, you see. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI used to play in a rock band and I “partied” a lot. I had never been “hooked” on anything before. So when I had a chance to try “crack” I never considered it would take over my life. I just thought I would try it once for kicks … big mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Friday night I smoked crack all night. I thought maybe someday I’d do it again. “Someday” turned into the very next weekend, then the next and the next. Soon, I found myself getting high in the evening after work. It got worse from there. I’d stay up all night smoking crack and would try to work the next day without sleep. It got so bad that I would get high at lunch. Needless to say, I lost my job. I paid the rent and bills for October from my savings and continued to get high. By the time Christmas rolled around I was broke! I had very little groceries and I could not even buy my children a present because I had spent it all on crack. I was evicted the day after Christmas. Eventually I lost all I ever had and loved, including: my cars, house, my wife \u0026amp; children, my father (he died), my brother and sister (they disowned me), all my belongings … everything. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI also lost my self-esteem and self-respect. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou should know I did not grow up in a dysfunctional family or some other weird situation. My father and mother were wonderful parents: they both worked, they never argued in front of me, they did not smoke or drink or cuss. I was not neglected in any way and we went to Church regularly. In school I was smart, played sports, and was very popular. I’ve met many drug addicts who come from dysfunctional families and broken homes, but a drug addict can come from anywhere. I believe we choose who we become; everybody knows right from wrong. To be brutally honest with myself … I chose to be an addict. I am responsible for my own choices. I chose a life of sin. Without God, sin will take over your life. There is no middle ground. You either serve God … or you serve the devil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2002 I was arrested for Commercial Burglary 4 times! It didn’t slow me down at all. I was out of control. I was a slave to crack and I hated myself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo this gets me back to the beginning of my story, strung out on a bus and a little old lady planted a seed that day. I found myself wanting something more; while my body craved the drug, my spirit craved the Lord! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, in early 2003, I had really hit rock bottom. I was all sucked up and skinny and I slept under a bridge near a local church called Cornerstone. I stayed there for about a week and late at night (or early in the morning) I would walk to the church. It felt … comforting near the church. I would peek through the glass doors and I would wish someone would come out and invite me in and talk with me. I would wish that there were people there who knew me and were glad to see me. I would wish that I could have the strength to go to church on a Sunday morning rather than get high. I would also wish that I could play guitar there … that I could play for Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA couple of weeks later I was sitting under a bush smoking crack in the rain with only a couple of dollars in my pocket. I began to cry. I was tired of living in sin, tired of getting high, tired of being a fugitive. I didn’t want that life anymore but I didn’t know how I could get out of it. I sat there and cried and then I remembered that old lady on the bus. She spoke of peace through Jesus. The Bible says to seek and you will find, ask and you will receive, knock and the door will be opened to you. Well, I sat there under that bush in the rain and I was seeking, I was asking, and I was knocking on heaven’s door. I cried out to the Lord to help me. “Help me Jesus,” I cried out as I wept in the rain, “please help me.” Well, God answered my prayer … I got arrested! The Lord began to reveal himself to me in jail. He showed me in Isaiah 38:20 that I would play music for him in church. I had no idea how it could happen because I did not have a church, I didn’t even know anybody in church! I gave my life to the Lord in jail and began to lead Bible studies and prayer groups in jail. I did some prison time and I led Bible studies there, too. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a condition upon release I entered an inpatient rehabilitation program for one year at the Fresno Rescue Mission. I became the Chaplain’s Assistant and he gave me a guitar and invited me to play and sing at his church. Then one day a man from Cornerstone Church came to the Rescue Mission. He invited me to Cornerstone and asked me to play guitar in the men’s worship team!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo this day I am just amazed at what God has done. He showed me his plan for me while I was locked up, and here it was actually happening, I had friends at church and people were glad to see me. I was leading worship at church … simply amazing ... all the things I had wished for when I would walk up to the church at 2 in the morning! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, as I write this, I’ve been a worship leader at Cornerstone for nine years, plus I go back to the Fresno Rescue Mission every month and preach the Gospel to the homeless and men in the recovery program. God has blessed me so much; I’ve been reunited with my family, and best of all, I’m going to Heaven. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI want you to know this: I’m nobody special. God delivered me and He can and will deliver you also … from whatever your hurt or hangup may be. God is in the business of restoration. He’ll restore your marriage, your family, your life … anything. Just “ask and you shall receive.” Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. The only road to salvation is through Him. All you need to do to be saved is to repent of your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died for the sins of the world and ask Him to live inside your heart. It’s that easy! Why not do it now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":27602356167,"sku":"PMT431EN-100","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":27602356231,"sku":"PMT431EN-100-RUSH","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":27602356295,"sku":"PMT431EN-250","price":87.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":27602356359,"sku":"PMT431EN-250-RUSH","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":27602356423,"sku":"PMT431EN-500","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":27602356487,"sku":"PMT431EN-500-RUSH","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602356679,"sku":"PMT431EN-1000","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602356743,"sku":"PMT431EN-1000-RUSH","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602356807,"sku":"PMT431EN-2500","price":319.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602356871,"sku":"PMT431EN-2500-RUSH","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602356935,"sku":"PMT431EN-5000","price":520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602356999,"sku":"PMT431EN-5000-RUSH","price":665.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602357063,"sku":"PMT431EN-10000","price":805.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602357127,"sku":"PMT431EN-10000-RUSH","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/8334\/products\/431EN-1.jpg?v=1471283815"},{"product_id":"pmt-from-the-jungle-to-jesus-at-peace-with-my-creator","title":"From the Jungle to Jesus: At Peace With My Creator","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy name is Dikkie Ekiai and this is my story. I was born and raised in the state of Sarawak in Borneo, an island that is divided among three countries in Southeast Asia – Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia. My state belongs to Malaysia. Sarawak’s population is made up of many different tribal groups. Before the arrival of British rulers, these tribes would raid each other’s territories and collect their enemies’ heads as trophies. Towards the middle of the Second World War, the British government decided to recruit young men from my father’s mountain tribe, called the \u003cem\u003eBidayuh\u003c\/em\u003e, to serve both as trackers and radio operators. My father was one of the ones selected. At the same time, the British government recruited young girls from the coastal tribe, namely the \u003cem\u003eIbans\u003c\/em\u003e, to be trained as nurses, and my mother was chosen. My parents’ love story was legendary as they were both the first to marry outside of their respective tribes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowing up as what was considered a “half-breed” amidst the old tribal atmosphere of hatred and vengeance was not easy. The difficulties became more apparent later when I was living in a boarding school, as the school for secondary education was quite far from where my parents lived. Each of the various tribes in the school kept to themselves and there were frequent violent and bloody clashes. Despite the war-like nature of these tribes, they did believe in a Creator who made everything and who commands armies of angelic beings who are often sent to interfere in the affairs of men. Our lives were strictly governed by taboos and offerings to these beings. Any major decisions or undertakings would have to be preceded by searching one’s dreams via solitary meditation or by the spreading of offerings to obtain guidance from the spiritual world. I used to complain to my mother that we had too many spirits to appease. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhenever I managed to get home for holidays, I would spend time wandering through the jungle observing nature’s wonders and would sit every evening watching the sunset and contemplating the frailty and meaning of life. One day while walking through the jungle I came across a big spider weaving its web. Observing how this spider could weave a perfect symmetry and angle every time, I concluded that someone must have designed this creature with its unique ability. This Designer must be the same one who, I was told, had hung the moon and the stars in their place. I had a number of serious discussions with my father regarding my search for the meaning of life, but obtained no satisfaction because by this time he had returned to the old tribal ways of practicing witchcraft and shamanism. I was told that as soon as my secondary education was finished, I was to spend time with families from both of my ancestral tribes to learn and combine the knowledge of shamanism from both tribes. This was somewhat unsettling for me, and drove me to take every opportunity to travel with friends to the town of Kuching (now a city) to visit both a Catholic and an Anglican church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the wall of the Anglican church was a curtain containing the Ten Commandments. As I was reading through these, I heard the priest saying that a person should spend time alone confessing their sins at the end of each day. When I went back to boarding school, I started spending time alone in a classroom when everyone else was having supper. There I would tell God the Creator all the thoughts of my heart every evening. This went on for months. At this time one of my relatives handed me a prayer book which he had stolen from the Anglican church during one of our visits. As I continued to confess my sins each evening, I became burdened with the fact that my ancestors had committed murders through their headhunting practices. Because I had handled the old skulls, the swords, and shields used in these tribal wars, as well as the fact that I was a descendent of these men, I saw myself as being as guilty as they were. I did not realize at the time that my sinful nature originated all the way back with Adam in the Garden of Eden. The Lord made me to see that my hands were covered with the blood of the slain victims. Though I didn’t know these words then, my experience was like those to whom the prophet spoke in Isaiah 59:1-3, \u003cem\u003e“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or His ear dull, that is cannot hear; but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies; your tongue mutters wickedness.”\u003c\/em\u003e This happened every evening for an entire week, and each time I broke down and sobbed because I knew I was guilty in thoughts, words, and deeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne evening I decided to take one of the pages from the Anglican prayer book with me to the classroom. As I was confessing my sinful bloodline to God, I envisioned myself falling along with everyone else into a big bonfire. I looked at the piece of paper I took with me and read that Christ Jesus died for sinners and rose again the third day. At that moment, as I saw a multitude of people falling into the big bonfire, I noticed a group to the side, just as guilty as the others, but these were not falling into the bonfire because Christ Jesus died for them, and I just grabbed on to the fact that I was one of them—a sinner for whom Christ Jesus had died: \u003cem\u003e“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”\u003c\/em\u003e (1 Timothy 1:15). In that instant, I experienced a serenity that I did not understand. It was like watching a river flowing ever so slowly at sunset. This saving experience happened in late 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin months of this experience, the Spirit of God began to impress upon me to look for a place where Christians are gathered only as Christians and nothing else. I did not know if such a thing existed on earth, as I had received no teaching. Meanwhile I finished secondary school, and after passing the final exam, I tried applying to local colleges not knowing how to pay for the education if I did get accepted. None of the colleges accepted me. Then one day I received a letter saying I was awarded a full scholarship to study in Melbourne, Australia. As the Lord would have it (\u003cem\u003e“I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome,” \u003c\/em\u003eJeremiah 29:11), I ended up in none of the countries originally listed for the scholarship which included Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA. I was sent to Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1988. I was excited to see so many different churches and each Sunday I was exploring a new church but I sensed that something was missing. I had met other foreign students, including some Muslim friends, who would tease me and ask if I had found my church yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn late 1989, I decided to visit a good friend who was studying at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick, a few hours from Wolfville. There I met a couple of Christians who were reaching out to international students. They later introduced me to Christians meeting in Avonport, Nova Scotia as well as in Nineveh, Nova Scotia. My very first introduction to a simple New Testament assembly meeting was a Sunday morning service for worship, and I was amazed at the simplicity of the meeting. One Sunday night in January, as a couple of men were telling their testimonies of salvation through Christ, one of them said that when he trusted the Lord Jesus, he experienced a sense of peace. For the first time, after searching for about four years, I realized that my experience in Borneo meant that I had been born again (John 3:3,7), and at the same time I also found the place of His Name: \u003cem\u003e“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them”\u003c\/em\u003e (Matthew 18:20). What an awesome God we have! I was far from God and lived much of my life in total ignorance of the Christian gospel, but the Lord was able to reach me—\u003cem\u003e“The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost”\u003c\/em\u003e (Luke 19:10). He spoke to my heart because He loved me and had died for me—\u003cem\u003e“God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”\u003c\/em\u003e (Romans 5:8). No wonder that Revelation 5:9 records people singing this song to the Lamb, the Lord Jesus: \u003cem\u003e“Worthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, for You were slain, and by Your blood You ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and continue to meet with Christians who simply gather in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Clear … 26 degrees … snow on the ground … a great morning to hunt. My doe tag filled yesterday, I decide to go back this morning to a different stand for a buck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhitaker’s stand, as we call it, is a permanent stand built into three trees. You go up by boards nailed between two of the trees. I’ve done it many times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI secure my rifle and make the 18-foot climb to the top. I get out a Surefire light to check the stand. Satisfied, I go to return the light to my pocket, and the next thing I know I am falling. I didn’t black out; I didn’t slip. I did have a backpack, and perhaps I lost my balance. I land on my back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter some initial disorientation subsides, I try to get up. It’ll be light soon. But my left leg is useless. Later I learn my injuries consist of an impact fracture of my left femur at the ball joint, more than 8 broken ribs, and 9 transverse processes sheared off, some on either side of my spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome Lessons\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGod brought some lessons to mind during my recovery. The one I share now is the brevity of life. Proverbs 27:1 says, \u003cem\u003eBoast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth\u003c\/em\u003e. James 4:14 asks, \u003cem\u003eFor what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow well I realize that things could have been very different! I could have been crippled or paralyzed. I could have easily been killed. Yes, life is unpredictable and frail. I had no idea when my alarm went off at 4:30 a.m. that in two hours I would experience a life-changing event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lesson is the real point of this tract. In 2 Timothy 4:6, Paul testifies, \u003cem\u003eFor I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand\u003c\/em\u003e. He was ready. Ever since that day on the Damascus Road when he submitted to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Acts 9:1-6), he enjoyed the assurance that his sins were forgiven (1 Timothy 1:15; \u003cbr\u003e 2 Timothy 1:12).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI did not know what awaited me in the woods that morning, but I can honestly tell you that I, too, was ready. And not because of anything I deserve, but because I’d come to know the same Jesus as Savior that Paul knew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI trusted Christ as my Savior when I was 17. I grew up going to church, knew John 3:16, and thought I was okay. But through the influence of some Christian neighbors, I began attending a church that preached the Gospel. I heard verses like Romans 3:23: \u003cem\u003eFor all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God\u003c\/em\u003e. Romans 6:23: \u003cem\u003eFor the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord\u003c\/em\u003e. Romans 5:8: \u003cem\u003eBut God commendeth [demonstrates] His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI accepted these truths but had no real assurance of heaven. If someone asked if I knew I was saved, I said \u003cem\u003eyes\u003c\/em\u003e, but the real answer was \u003cem\u003eno\u003c\/em\u003e. One day in July of 1971, God opened my eyes to the problem. What I had was head knowledge. I had never personally confessed my sins to God and asked Jesus to save me. I had never accepted the free gift of eternal life \u003cem\u003efor myself\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI had learned Romans 10:13: \u003cem\u003eFor whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved\u003c\/em\u003e. Right then, I did that. I told God that I was a sinner and didn’t want to go to hell. I asked Jesus to save me from my sins. Ever since, I’ve enjoyed the same assurance Paul had. If He calls, I’m ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Invitation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, I’ve had many opportunities to tell people this about Romans 10:13:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhosoever\u003c\/strong\u003e is big enough to put your name in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShall call upon the name of the Lord\u003c\/strong\u003e is simple enough for anyone to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShall be saved\u003c\/strong\u003e is certain enough to take to the bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real point? If you’re not ready for eternity, you can confess your sins to God and ask Jesus to save you. I did it walking down a lane.

Unfortunately, the meetings for me were lifeless, without meaning. Because of this when I got older God was not in my life. That didn’t mean I wasn’t still a person God created with a spirit inside. My spirit looked for meaning, and for spiritual experiences. I found them in the realm of drugs, sex, rock music, and witchcraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy experiences with drugs began in high school, and I tried nearly everything. Satan came immediately because he wanted me for himself. The music scene I was in was part of that life. I became a dealer, and kept the band I was with supplied.

Then came the encounters with witchcraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon’t ever doubt Satan is real or that the spirit realm exists. He is, and it does. My involvement was deep.

The club was my family, my brothers in arms. I found a family that I had never known before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was born to a white family living in the Mexican Barrio of Ontario, California. I lived the first ten years of my life with a family member that abused me in every way imaginable. I wasn’t allowed in the house, but lived in a tiny dark damp room in the small basement. It was a constant battle to stay alive from scraps of food I was thrown and the rats gnawing on me while I tried to sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt ten years old I was kicked out of the house and lived on the streets. A skinny malnourished kid surviving by food thrown in dumpsters and by stealing what ever I could. This rough street life led me to drugs. Drugs were a temporary escape from the despair and pain around me. Ultimately this led me to be arrested and thrown into jail. At that point in my life jail wasn’t all bad; at least I had three meals a day and a place to sleep. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI only had one visitor during my early years in jail—my grandmother. Once a month, after a five-day bus ride to get to me, she told me that she loved me and that God had a plan for my life. She dreamt that someday I would become a preacher man.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat was the farthest thing from my mind. I put up a wall of anger. I hated everyone—especially those that were not like me. I only cared about myself. My motto was: Trust No One. That time in jail I began to gain strength. I was determined that no one would ever hurt me again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I got out of jail I joined a 1% outlaw motorcycle club. I saw in them a group of brothers that didn’t take any lip from anyone. I grew my hair long and beard even longer. During my time with the 1%ers I was stabbed eight times, shot three times and inflicted pain on more people than I can count. I had an uncontrollable temper and my anger could be set off at the slightest provocation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEventually, this lifestyle led me to life in prison. I served time in Folsom, Chico and San Quentin. In San Quentin there are four basic racial groups of people that run the prison population. If you didn’t belong to one of these four groups you became someone’s plaything or wound up dead. Prison bred hatred and violence. Of course I joined the “white” faction. My anger constantly boiled inside of me. I would strike out at anyone and everyone. I was the meanest and most violent prisoner in the 80’s and 90’s. I was kept from the general population and was always held in restraints, I had shackles on my hands and legs and was surrounded by three guards at all times. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne day to my surprise, I was let into the Minimum Yard for the first time in years. The grass seemed greener and the sunlight was warm. I sat down on a bench, alone, to reconnoiter the yard. Men were grouped in their usual racial groups. But, then I noticed something that piqued my curiosity. Sitting together alone was a white man and a black man reading a book. No one bothered them and they seemed to have a peace and compassion about them. That book was the Holy Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater, I got stabbed in the back. Thirsting for revenge, I got retribution, but I was so out of control I found myself back in shackles sitting in a barred room in the prison psych ward (Section Eight). There they shot me up with antipsychotic tranquilizers. These drugs only made me more violent and out of control. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen they took me off of those drugs; I fell into a deep depression and felt like giving up. I was sick and tired of the constant revolving door of anger, revenge and punishment. I sat on the edge of my bunk and spoke to God for the first time in my life. I asked Him if He could use an angry man like me. And it was just then that someone slid a small Gideon Bible under the door. I opened it up and read “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” Matthew 5:44. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI then started reading that little book, soaking up every word like a sponge. I read that Jesus said, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” Hebrews 13:5b. When I was sentenced to prison, people said they would visit—they never did. People said they would write—they never did. People said they would send me money for the commissary—they never did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter I was released from Section Eight, in the Minimum Yard, in front of the Correctional Officers and over 70 hardened men, I dropped to my knees, crying, and gave Jesus my all. I confessed my sins to Him and asked Jesus to come into my life and take over. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has been 15 years since that life-changing day. I am out of prison and do not hesitate to tell anyone I meet about Jesus. Jesus utterly changed my life that day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are all sinners, some more than others, but even if you lived a “good” life out of prison—you are still a sinner. Check yourself by going through the Ten Commandments: How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever stolen (the value is irrelevant), committed adultery (Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart” Matthew 5:28), or murdered someone (God considers hatred to be murder in your heart, 1 John 3:15)? Have you loved God above all else? Be honest. You know you will be guilty on Judgment Day, and therefore will end up in Hell forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut, Jesus showed how much God loved us by dying on the cross to take our punishment, and then rising from the dead. Today, repent (confess and turn from your sin) and trust in Jesus Christ. Then read the Bible daily, and obey it. God will never fail you. Won’t you turn to Jesus today?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":27602535687,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-100","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":27602535815,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-100-RUSH","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":27602535879,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-250","price":97.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":27602535943,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-250-RUSH","price":137.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":27602536007,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-500","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":27602536071,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-500-RUSH","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602536135,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-1000","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602536263,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-1000-RUSH","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602536391,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-2500","price":405.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602536519,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-2500-RUSH","price":540.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602536647,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-5000","price":612.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602536775,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-5000-RUSH","price":875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602536967,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-10000","price":1015.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602537031,"sku":"PMT469ENKJ-10000-RUSH","price":1330.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/8334\/products\/469ENKJ-1.jpg?v=1471283980"},{"product_id":"pmt-called-out-of-darkness","title":"Called Out Of Darkness","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere I was, a Wiccan High Priest.

And the spells worked!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach day I would cast protection spells to keep myself safe from harm, hoping that some more powerful witch could not break through my protective barrier. After all, I knew how easily I had broken through some other people’s protection spells. How hard was it to imagine that some other witch, who did not like me, could do the same thing to me? Everything depended on my knowledge and how much power I controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn our meetings we taught love and brotherhood, but the moment we were by ourselves it was all about self-gratification. Self! That was my biggest god. Power and control. That was my greatest goal. Our rituals were about gaining greater power and control over others, over ourselves, and over nature. We taught living in harmony, but whose harmony? Under whose control?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring my life I had done horrible things: murder, theft, beating people, bullying others, manipulating people, sexual misconduct of all kinds, and on and on. In our world there was no such thing as forgiveness for these wrongs. Yet we all knew that these wrongs and actions not only affected this current life, but also had a serious effect on what would happen after we died. We lied to ourselves, telling each other that if we did enough good, then it would balance out the evil we had done … the evil I had done. Or, we hoped for an afterlife (reincarnation) so that we would have another chance to do it right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was miserable, pretending all was well because I had power, control, and money. I hated myself because the guilt was heavy on my shoulders. I knew right from wrong. Doesn’t everybody? My conscience was too heavy to carry. What could be done?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo there I was, a Wiccan High Priest at a spiritual retreat, hearing about a God that loved me and hearing about people who cared about me and loved me. Then, I heard about Jesus and what He could do and had done. How Jesus had died on the cross for my sins and could cleanse me of all the wrongs I had ever done. He died for me…He died for all the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe evening before the last day of the retreat, they talked of love. Not only the love of Jesus Christ, who willingly died for me, but also the love of all the people involved in that retreat. God touched me through that love. Love was something I did not have much of in my life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll my life I had fought against Jesus Christ and God His Father. I had searched desperately for truth and love in every place and religion I could find. The only real and true answer I have ever found is Jesus Christ. It no longer depends entirely upon me.

I was taught that by attending Mass, confessing my sins to a priest, praying to Mary and the “Saints,” saying the rosary, etc. I might gain merits worthy of obtaining “grace.” As a Roman Catholic, however, I always felt an emptiness that could never be satisfied. I hoped that by saying prayers to the “Saints” and making Novenas, and going to Mass, this emptiness could be filled, but it was to no avail. I was the same person going to church and coming out; there was no change in my heart and life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had a fear of death, sickness, and purgatory (a place taught to Catholics where one goes after death to suffer for his sins). This place does not exist in God’s Word. Hebrews 1:1-3 tells us that Christ purged our sins. God’s Word teaches us that it’s Heaven with Christ or Hell without Him. We must make the choice. But at this time I did not know what God’s Word taught, and my sins were weighing me down. I was Hell-bound and I did not know it. I tried looking into the Bible, but could not understand it. My condition could best be described in 1 Corinthians 2:14: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him.” I was outside of Christ and could not understand the things of God. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI met a Roman Catholic boy, and we fell in love and were married. We both held the same religious beliefs. We thought that salvation was in the Roman Catholic Church, and that water baptism makes one a Christian. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe had two beautiful children given to us and God in His great wisdom took them back. Our marriage and home became very unhappy at this time due to the fact that we did not know Christ and have Him in our home. All during our marriage I prayed to St. Jude (the saint for the hopeless cases), not realizing that I was hopelessly lost and headed for Hell. I also prayed to St. Dymphna (the saint for nervous cases), and I would light candles to Mary. Still, I did not find the peace I needed, and there was no change in my life. I kept on searching, however, Jeremiah 29:13 says: “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI told my husband that I must find God. He couldn’t understand why I couldn’t find Him in the Mass. Finally our marriage came to a head and my husband left me. Now both my children and my husband were gone. It was as though my world had ended. But thank God the Lord sent me a Christian friend. Prior to my husband’s leaving he had repaired the car of a Christian couple. When I returned their car, I noticed the Bible in it. It was a silent witness to me. This lady was different from anyone I had known. She was peaceful and serene. So when my husband left I called her and she came and brought her Bible with her. At first I couldn’t understand the spiritual things she was reading from the Bible. You see, as Roman Catholics, we were never encouraged to read our Bibles. Then she tuned into a Christian radio program which I loved immediately. Two days later she invited me to attend a prayer meeting at her church. At first I hesitated about going, but then I agreed to go. I didn’t know what church it was, but it was different from any service that I had ever attended. The people were happy, friendly and sang with much joy. I felt so lost because of my sins and I asked to speak with the pastor. I told the pastor of my lost condition, and he showed me from God’s Word that as a sinner I must repent of my sins, ask Jesus to cleanse me from them in His precious blood, and place all of my trust in Jesus Christ and in Him alone for my salvation. I prayed with him and accepted Jesus Christ into my heart as my all-sufficient Savior and Lord. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA new life began for me. I was born into the family of God. I had Christ’s peace in my heart at last and was set free from the penalty of my sins. John 8:32 says, “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” Thank God I no longer had to place my trust in the Mass, Mary and the “Saints,” confession to a man, saying rosaries, and all the rest of the confusion found in the Roman Catholic system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy Catholic friend, you too can be set free. Search the Scriptures. Place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and in Him alone. Turn from the traditions of men and the confusions of the Roman Catholic system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI know that my Savior lives with me, and that I have an eternal home with Christ. My desire now is to witness for my Savior, and to be used as His instrument in winning others to Him.  —Mrs. Lee Rutilli\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter my wife’s conversion, I returned home. Our home was different, and my wife was different. She told me that she had accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and Lord. I couldn’t understand what she meant. I told her that the Catholic Church with its Mass was the ONLY TRUE CHURCH, and that salvation was only found in the Catholic Church. She told me that Christ was missing from our home because we never knew Him personally. The following Sunday, I said that I would go to church with her if she would go to Mass with me. As I frequented these two churches and listened to the preaching, I began to see the difference. I saw that the Catholic Church presented the word of man instead of the Word of God. The Lord began to deal with my heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA month later, an evangelist came to the church we were attending. Through his preaching, the Lord brought conviction to my heart, and I really began to search the Scriptures. At first I wouldn’t trust a Protestant Bible because I believed it was different and had been changed, so I used the Catholic version. I prayed each time I read its pages, and the more I read, the more the Lord revealed His truths to my heart. I realized that I had been taught falsehood for 42 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn New Year’s Eve of 1971 my wife was preparing to leave for watch night service at the church. I hesitated at first about going, but it was because it was my birthday, and the Lord was continuing to deal with me, I went. Through this joyful service, and seeing all the happy Christian people around me, and my wife being so happy in Christ, I too wanted this joy. I accepted Jesus into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior. I was born again that night!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I continued in the word of God, the Lord revealed many truths to me and confirmed my faith in Him. I saw through the Scriptures that Christ made one perfect sacrifice for our sins, and that is no longer necessary for a priest to make sacrifice on the altar (Hebrews 10:11). I accepted the truths in God’s Word like Ephesians 2:8,9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’ve put my faith and trust in Jesus Christ who alone can transform the sinner. I’m no longer trusting in the Mass, Communion, sacraments, prayers of intercession to Mary and the “saints”, belief in purgatory, as none of these things can change the heart of any sinner. The Bible teaches that all who trust in these things are under the wrath of God. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lord has changed my heart and life, and has given me a real burden for souls. My wife and I have left the false system of Roman Catholicism forever. Now the Lord has blessed us with a tract ministry in Cowtown, New Jersey. We give out His Word and witness to all we meet about our wonderful Savior and His saving grace. We show Roman Catholics the truth of God’s Word and tell them how they can be saved without merit, charge, without the help of a priest, sacraments, rituals, confirmation, rosary, holy water, Mass, or purgatory.

Tenemos que tomar la decisión. Pero en ese tiempo yo no sabía lo que la Palabra de Dios enseñaba, y mis pecados me estaban pesando. Estaba en camino al infierno y ni lo sabía. Intenté buscar en la Biblia pero no lo podía entender. Mi condición en ese momento está descrita muy bien en 1 Corintios 2:14: “Pero el hombre natural no percibe las cosas que son del Espíritu de Dios, porque para él son locura.” Estaba fuera de Cristo y no podía entender las cosas de Dios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConocí un joven Católico Romano y nos enamoramos y nos casamos. Nosotros dos compartíamos las mismas creencias religiosas. Pensabamos que la salvación era a través de la iglesia Católica Romana y que el bautismo con agua le hace que uno sea Cristiano. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuvimos dos hijos hermosos pero Dios en Su gran sabiduría nos los quitó. Nuestro matrimonio llegó a ser muy infeliz durante este tiempo debido a la verdad que no conocíamos a Cristo y no lo teníamos en nuestro hogar. Todo el tiempo durante nuestro matrimonio yo oraba a San Judas (el santo de los casos sin esperanza), ni dándome cuenta de que estaba perdida sin esperanza y en camino al infierno. También oraba a Santa Dympna (la patrona de los enfermos mentales) y prendía velas a María. Pero todavía no encontré la paz que estaba buscando y no había ningún cambio en mi vida. Sin embargo, seguía buscando. Jeremías 29:13 dice: “Y me buscaréis y hallaréis, porque me buscaréis de todo vuestro corazón.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe dije a mi esposo que tenía que encontrar a Dios. Él no pudo entender porque no podía encontrar a Dios en la misa. Por fin, nuestro matrimonio llegó a un punto de crisis y mi esposo me dejó. En ese momento no tenía mis dos hijos ni mi esposo. Fue como si hubiera llegado el fin de mi mundo. Pero gracias a Dios, el Señor me mandó una amiga Cristiana. Antes de que mi esposo me dejara, él arregló el carro de una pareja Cristiana. Cuando devolví su carro, noté que había una Biblia adentro del carro. Fue un testigo silencioso a mí. Esta señora era diferente a cualquier otra persona que había conocido. Ella era tranquila y serena. Entonces cuando me dejó mi esposo, la llamé y ella vino a mi casa y trajo su Biblia con ella. Al principio no pude entender las cosas espirituales que ella leía de la Biblia. Como Católicos Romanos, nunca fuimos animados a leer nuestras Biblias. Entonces ella sintonizó un programa de radio Cristiano que me encantó inmediatamente. Dos días después me invitó a asistir a la reunion de oración en su iglesia. Al principio, vacilé en cuanto a irme, pero decidí aceptar la invitación. Yo no sabía que iglesia era, pero era diferente a cualquier otra iglesia donde había ido. La gente era feliz, amable, y cantaba con mucho gozo. Me sentía tan perdida debido a mis pecados y pedí la oportunidad de hablar con el pastor. Le conté al pastor de mi condición perdida y él me mostró de la Palabra de Dios que como un pecador yo tenía que arrepentirme de mis pecados, pedirle a Jesús que me limpiara de mis pecados con Su sangre preciosa, y poner toda mi confianza en Jesucristo y solamente en Él para mi salvación. Yo oré con él y acepté a Jesucristo en mi corazón como mi todo-suficiente Salvador y Señor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUna vida nueva empezó para mí. Nací en la familia de Dios. Por fin tenía la paz de Cristo en mi corazón y había sido librada del castigo de mis pecados. Juan 8:32 dice, “Y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os hará libres.” Gracias a Dios, ya no tenía que poner mi confianza en la misa, en María y los “santos,” en la confesión a un hombre, en rezar el rosario, y en todas las otras confusiones que se encuentran en el sistema Católico Romano.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMi amigo Católico, usted también puede ser librado. Busque en la Escrituras. Ponga su fe y su confianza en Jesucristo y en Él solamente. Deje las tradiciones de los hombres y las confusiones del sistema Católico Romano.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYo sé que mi Salvador vive conmigo y que tengo un hogar eterno con Cristo. Mi deseo ahora es testificar de mi Salvador y de ser usada como Su instrumento para ganar a otros para Él. —Señora Lee Rutilli \u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespués de la conversión de mi esposa, regresé a la casa. Nuestro hogar era diferente y mi esposa era diferente. Ella me contó que había aceptado a Jesucristo como su Salvador y Señor. No pude entender lo que ella me quería decir. Le dije que la iglesia Católica con la misa era la ÚNICA IGLESIA VERDADERA y que la salvación se encontraba solamente en la iglesia Católica. Ella me dijo que Cristo había estado ausente de nuestro hogar porque nunco Lo conocimos personalmente. El siguente domingo, le dije a mi esposa que iría a la iglesia con ella si ella iría a la misa conmigo. Mientras asistía estas dos iglesias y escuchaba las predicaciones, empecé a ver la diferencia. Vi que la iglesia Católica presentaba la palabra del hombre en vez de la Palabra de Dios. El Señor empezó a tocar mi corazón.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUn mes después, un evangelista llegó a la iglesia donde estabamos asistiendo. A través de sus predicaciones, el Señor trajo la convicción a mi corazón y empecé a escudriñar las Escrituras en serio. Al principio, no tuve confianza en la Biblia Protestante porque creía que era diferente y que había sido cambiada entonces usaba la versión Católica. Oré cada vez que leía sus páginas y más que leía, el Señor reveló Sus verdades a mi corazón. Me di cuenta que había sido enseñado una mentira por 42 años.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEn el Año Nuevo de 1971 mi esposa se estaba preparando para ir al servicio de vigilia en la iglesia. Al principio pensé no ir, pero porque era mi cumpleaños y el Señor estaba tocando mi corazón, fui. A través de ese servicio tan gozoso y al ver todas las personas Cristianas tan felices a mi alrededor y mi esposa tan contenta en Cristo, yo también quise tener ese gozo. Acepté a Jesús en mi corazón como mi Salvador personal y mi Señor. ¡Nací de nuevo esa misma noche!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMientras continuaba en la Palabra de Dios, el Señor me reveló muchas verdades y confirmó mi fe en Él. Vi a través de las Escrituras que Cristo hizo un sacrificio perfecto por nuestros pecados, y que ya no es necesario que el sacerdote haga un sacrificio en el altar (Hebreos 10:11). Acepté las verdades de la Palabra de Dios como Efesios 2:8,9: “Porque por gracia sois salvos por medio de la fe, y esto no de vosotros; pues es don de Dios; no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe puesto mi fe y mi confianza en Jesucristo el Único quien puede transformar a un pecador. Ya no confío en la misa, la comunión, los sacramentos, las oraciones intercesoras a María y a los “santos,” la creencia en el purgatorio porque ninguna de estas cosas puede cambiar el corazón del pecador. La Biblia enseña que todos que confían en estas cosas están bajo la ira de Dios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl Señor ha cambiado mi corazón y mi vida y me ha dado una carga real para las almas. Mi esposa y yo hemos dejado el sistema falso del Catolicismo Romano para siempre. Ahora el Señor nos ha bendecido con un ministerio de distribuir tratados en Cowtown, New Jersey. Nosotros entregamos Su Palabra a otros y les testificamos a todos que conocemos de nuestro Salvador maravilloso y Su gracia salvadora. Les enseñamos a los Católicos Romanos la verdad de la Palabra de Dios y les contamos como ellos pueden ser salvos sin los méritos, sin dinero, sin la ayuda de un sacerdote, sin los sacramentos, sin los ritos, sin la confirmación, sin el rosario, sin el agua bendita, sin la misa, y sin el purgatorio.

Tourists stay away from those areas and even residents tend to stay inside their homes. It’s so different from the daytime when the streets are packed with cars, the sidewalks are full of hustling people all in a hurry to go somewhere through the noise of impatient taxis honking their horns, and the din of the revving motors of vehicles inching along in the log-jammed traffic. And yet, this is home to millions of people who are always watching for anything unusual. Just an ordinary evening, and yet any ordinary evening could turn very different in a few seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weather had become unusually cold this winter evening. The wind was brisk, and there were snowflakes and sleet mixing to sting the faces of those few who were brave enough to be going somewhere. Davis, recently released from prison, was trying to put his life back together. He was temporarily living with his sister and had recently been hired by a construction firm. It wasn’t the type of job he wanted, but God was providing for his needs, so he was thankful for the progress he saw in his life in just a couple of months. After a long day at work he had taken the train to get back to where it would be an easy few minutes of walking to get to his sister’s place. As he walked along, reminding himself to always be on the alert, he was also dreaming and planning the life ahead of him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavis had been one tough dude all his life and that is what got him in trouble most of the time. Inmates stayed away from him because, “…you don’t mess with Davis, he will break your face…” But one day, after years of fighting people and fighting God, Davis listened to the testimony of another inmate who showed the love of Christ to him. He bowed his head and put his trust in Jesus, praying the “sinner’s prayer” to express his faith in Christ. From that time on the fighting was over. He was a changed man and now part of God’s family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the wind whipped the icy sleet across his face, Davis just wanted to get home where it was warm and secure. He was startled as he heard the screams of a man staggering toward him, begging for help. As the man fell in the street, Davis saw that blood covered the man’s face and clothing. “I’ve been stabbed,” the man groaned, “Please help me!” Davis took his borrowed cell phone and called 911 to report his location. As the sirens of emergency vehicles and the police could be heard in the distance, Davis wrote his cell number on a piece of scrap paper and slid it in the man’s jacket pocket, as he cradled the man in his arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe man was bleeding profusely as the sirens drew closer. Davis looked at himself under the street light and noticed that he was covered with the man’s blood. It was warm and sticky and very uncomfortable to realize what he had just observed. He also thought about the few minutes he had to whisper comfort to the man before the emergency people arrived He remembered learning in prison that God places others across our path each day and we, as believers, are to show the love of Christ to them, and if the opportunity presents itself, share our faith in Christ with them. It’s called “Planting the seed of the gospel and letting the Holy Spirit work it into their heart so that the message will be harvested by that person giving their heart and life to Jesus.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavis quietly spoke to the man, asking him if he had ever asked forgiveness for his sins. The man faintly replied back that he had too many sins for any forgiveness stuff. Davis then told the man about Jesus, who died for his sins, and assured him that Jesus welcomes all who come to Him. He asked the young man if he would like to put his trust in Christ and become part of God’s family and get rid of all of those sins. The man indicated that he would, and repeated the words Davis used as he asked Jesus to forgive him from his sins, repenting for his bad life and asking Jesus into his heart and life. “Thank you Jesus, amen,” he said, so weak his voice was barely audible, as the emergency vehicles screeched to a stop at the curb and the paramedic rushed in to take over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavis stood up and backed away as the team worked on the man, and then quickly whisked him away to a nearby hospital. Davis was shaking, his hands trembling and his heart pounding. He saw a small fountain in front of an apartment complex nearby and tried to wash some of the blood and street grime from his hands and clothing. It was so bitterly cold that the water froze his clothes and stung his hands, making him shiver violently. He couldn’t wait to get home. He couldn’t stop at a store or warm building. He looked terrible and no one would want to hear his story … not in this neighborhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSirens, violence, and street crime were not new to Davis, having lived in a big city all his life. But this had been a totally different situation. He had never been that close to someone who was stabbed. Getting ready for work the next day Davis was still struggling with how badly the man he had helped rescue was bleeding when his borrowed cell phone rang. It was the police calling from the hospital asking him if he was family or a friend of the injured man. Davis related to the police that he had just slipped his cell phone number into the man’s jacket pocket in case he needed someone to talk to for spiritual reasons. The police told Davis that they were trying to locate family and that the man had died during the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavis was stunned! Then the realization of what had happened made him sit down and hold his head in his hands. He had helped the badly hurt man put his trust in Jesus last night, lying there on that icy cold, filthy street, and now the man was in Heaven. He was overwhelmed that God had placed him at that scene to give him the opportunity to have a part in the man’s salvation. Tears flowed easily as he thanked God for using him in such a profound way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll day long, as Davis worked, his, mind often strayed to the episode of the previous night. He was full of joy and excitement, yet he was sad that the man had been murdered almost alone in the gutter. How could someone be so heartless? Yet, he knew this was an angry part of the city with a lot of violent people who would do anything to get what they wanted, or seek revenge for something they couldn’t get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith his work day finished, Davis took the train back to his community. He took his wife out for dinner and had a delightful evening, sharing his story with her (his wife is a strong Christian and was staying in their apartment while Davis made his transition into society). He walked her back to their apartment and saw that she was safely inside, and then he started to walk to his sister’s home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was more alert as he walked deeper into the back streets, getting closer to where the episode of the prior evening took place. He knew the sounds of the area; he knew what to look for and he knew what could be unusual. Like a hunting dog, his senses were at their peak. But the enemy knows those same feelings and is aware of what not to give away to cause their “prey” to be suspicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of a sudden, like a pack of hungry wolves chasing down a startled deer, Davis was jumped by a gang of thugs. They pounced him quietly, almost a stealth operation, tackling him and covering his head with a dirty, smelly coat. And then he felt the awful searing pain as someone ran a knife into his back. He could feel the warm blood wet his clothing as he lay in the street, writhing in pain, too weak to get on his feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe next thing he knew he was in a hospital and was told that he had twelve inches of stitches in his back, the knife barely missing several vital organs. The police came in and told him that they had caught several of the gang, who also confessed to the murder of the young man Davis had helped the night before. Davis thanked God that He had spared his life. He shared the story with his doctors and nurses, and today Davis is encouraged to talk about Jesus everywhere he goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese life stories don’t happen to people often, but the example here is that we should always be prepared, willing and obedient to share our faith in Jesus Christ whenever the opportunity arises. Davis is currently raising his young family and focusing on being a Godly father and a Christian example in his church and community. Thank God for men who are obedient as they follow the Scriptural commands written in God’s Word (Matthew 28:16-20) for all believers to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":27602591751,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-100","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":27602591815,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-100-RUSH","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":27602591879,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-250","price":97.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":27602591943,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-250-RUSH","price":137.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":27602592007,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-500","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":27602592071,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-500-RUSH","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602592135,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-1000","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602592263,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-1000-RUSH","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602592327,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-2500","price":405.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602592391,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-2500-RUSH","price":540.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602592455,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-5000","price":612.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602592519,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-5000-RUSH","price":875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602592583,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-10000","price":1015.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602592647,"sku":"PMT477ENNI-10000-RUSH","price":1330.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/8334\/products\/477ENNI-1.jpg?v=1493323906"},{"product_id":"pmt-dear-god-hear-my-cry","title":"Dear God, Hear My Cry!!

Please know that you are not alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo many times in our lives, we are faced with trials that we can’t handle. In high school, I had very few friends and was teased and made fun of. I was arrested for stealing at the age of 19. I got married to a guy who turned out to be an alcoholic and we argued all the time. I dated a guy who cheated on me and lied about it. I had to deal with the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace. These were things that I had no idea how to deal with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome people turn to drugs or alcohol, while others turn to running away, cutting themselves, or even suicide. For me it was cutting myself to deal with my emotions. I often felt alone and like no one cared or would understand what I was feeling or going through. I cut myself because I thought I needed to see what I was feeling on the inside. Though it didn’t make the problems go away, it temporarily took my mind off of them. I did this for 12 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am sure you are asking yourself, “why someone would want to hurt themselves like this?” Even though I had accepted Jesus into my life at the age of 13, I had drifted away from God and I had no idea what to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEventually, I couldn’t stand looking at the scars anymore. I grabbed my Bible and started reading and praying. I told God that I didn’t want to hurt myself anymore and that I wanted Him to take this addiction from me. I instantly felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders and I felt at peace. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee” (Isaiah 26:3). I was filled with great joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI used to cringe every time I saw the scars on my arms or when people would ask about them. I used to feel ashamed and embarrassed, and wish that I could make them go away. Then a friend told me that my scars are my testimony of what God has done for me and what He has brought me through. Now when I look at them, I thank God for bringing me through the storms of life and making me the person I am today. And when someone asks about them, I can tell them about how God used difficult times in my life to make me stronger. Isaiah 41:10 reads “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.” This verse has a whole new meaning to me now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are worth it! God considered the cost for our sins, looked at us, and thought we were worth it! I now firmly believe that God will never ever abandon us the way our family or friends might. We all have times when we feel like we can’t see God. But whether we’re aware of it or not, He’s always right there with us. Even if we don’t love ourselves, even if we do stuff that hurts Him, God loves us more than we can ever imagine. He’s promised that He’ll never leave us, even in the toughest times. “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds,” declares David in Psalm 147:3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod knows what it’s like to be in pain. Jesus Himself bears the scars of His pain, and “with His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). He knows what it’s like to be lonely, hurt, and scared.

I was looking for truth in a setting which I thought would help me to find God. The convent was located on the outskirts of Madrid, Spain, the city where I was born. Thus, with this life in the convent I began my pilgrimage toward God through the denial of all rights to myself. The theory of mortification is very ancient and is closely associated with Roman Catholic thought. Moreover, the philosophical mysticism of Spain embraces the practice of mortification as the method whereby one may find God. “To mortify” means to die slowly. That which dies is one’s own personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter several years of preparation and at the age of seventeen, I took the vows of obedience. I renounced all right to personal control to everything. He who is perfectly obedient submits to one mind and to one will: that is, the mind and will of his superior. In a convent it is impossible to do anything which is not controlled. Carefully defined laws and declarations provide the norm by which all must live and outside of which no one must dare to venture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vow of chastity presupposes not only a voluntary renunciation of marriage rights but also of all pleasures and all friendships which are not approved. In order to gain complete domination and control of all human desires a number of tormenting practices were observed regularly. The following are examples:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour fasts per year, each being forty days duration without interruption\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscipline of blood three times per week. This was carried out by the use of several strands of steel wire attached to a handle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wearing of haircloth against the body day and night\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bed of boards including the presence of leaves from the corn stalk as well as other things to torment the body\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese were meant to prepare my body for the total renunciation which my station in life demanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the vow of poverty I promised not to have money at my disposal. Rather, I was to live in entire dependence upon those who would allow me the use of things necessary to my existence. The devout Capuchin can only use things made available to him. He cannot become owner of such things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe great system of ascetic practices with which I had been identified since childhood was now well developed. Hopefully, I waited to see the fruits of my sufferings and labors. But the fruits so highly desired never materialized! In my innermost being there was only loneliness, desolation and fear. I was fearful of everything—fearful of life, fearful of love. I was afraid of my own resolution and afraid of God. Now at the age of thirty-three, I realized that my entire life pattern could be explained on one word: “NO!” “Don’t do this, don’t do that! Don’t think! … No, no, no!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe arts presented the brightest spot in my convent life. While there, I was able to learn and practice music. Music became an indispensable necessity in my life by which I could relieve the enormous pressures of my inner self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter I had become a priest and after subsequent studies in the field of music, I decided to give more time to the study of the piano. I looked for a competent teacher and it was in that way that Americo Caramuta entered my life and became a part of the small and circumscribed world in which I lived. Later on I learned that he was an evangelical Christian and a Baptist church member.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs for myself, my life continued to be one of complete darkness. At the same time, however, there grew within me the longing to really live. The kind of existence which I had experienced became entirely unacceptable to me. I wanted to make a complete break with it! But, I was afraid! I needed someone so desperately who would re-orient and direct me, someone who would instill strength. Americo was the man! I shared my deep crisis with him and in our conversations he answered my questions from the Bible, the Word of God. Slowly, light began to dawn as I realized that the many beliefs which I had considered infallible did not have any firm foundation whatever in the Word of God; beliefs such as the priesthood, papal infallibility, the sacraments, and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy separation from everything associated with Catholicism was now confirmed. But as I looked to the outside world, I began to panic! At the age of twelve I had entered a convent; now I was thirty-three years old. My whole life had been lived in this atmosphere. All of my studies were related to this kind of life. What would I do outside this life where I had spent my best years? Everything became a big question! My family, my friendships, my future, everything demanded answers! Nevertheless, I made a clear decision and left the convent and the Catholic Church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubsequently, I began to attend the services of the Baptist church in Madrid and on the second Sunday I responded to the invitation of the pastor. I felt great joy in my heart! Alone with God, in my home, I ceased my futile efforts to gain salvation through my own works. I knew that works could never save. My whole life had given clear proof of this fact. I gave myself entirely to God with a new and holy passion. I received Christ as the one and only Saviour of my soul and He came to me through a simple yet very definite peace such as I had never experienced hitherto. I was now Christ’s and He loved me. This was the secret! I was baptized in the church in the city of Madrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater on, I became enrolled in the Baptist Seminary of Barcelona and completed my studies in Theology and Religious Education. The Lord has called me as a minister in His Church and The Conversion Center (formerly) in Havertown, PA made it possible for me to come to the USA to complete my studies in the Bible and music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to find the truth, it was necessary to pay a price, but I have never regretted it. There were seven long years of struggles and conflict. But at the last I was able to testify to the reality of Christ in my life, the same Christ who said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo YOU know that heaven is your home?

Estaba buscando la verdad en un lugar que pensé que me ayudaría encontrar a Dios.  El convento estaba ubicado en las afueras de Madrid, España, la cuidad donde nací.  Así, con esta vida en el convento, empecé mi peregrinación hacia Dios a través de la negación de todos mis derechos.  La teoría de la mortificación es muy antigua y está ligada al pensamiento Católico Romano.  Además, el misticismo filosófico de España abraza la práctica de la mortificación como la forma en que uno puede encontrar a Dios.  “Mortificar” significa morir lentamente.  Lo que muere es la personalidad de uno mismo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespués de varios años de preparación, a la edad de diecisiete años, tomé los votos de la obediencia.  Renuncié todo derecho del control personal en todo.  Él que es perfectamente obediente se rinde a una mente y a una voluntad que es la mente y la voluntad de su superior.  En un convento es imposible hacer cualquier cosa que no sea controlada.  Las leyes y las declaraciones cuidadosamente definidas proveen las normas por las cuales todos tienen que vivir y fuera de éstas uno no se atreve pasar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl voto del celibato presupone no solamente una renunciación voluntaria de los derechos del matrimonio pero también de todos los placeres y todas las amistades que no sean aprobados.  Para obtener la dominación total y el control de todos los deseos humanos, varias prácticas de aflicción eran ejercitadas regularmente.  Los siguientes son algunos ejemplos:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCuatro ayunos por año, cada uno de cuarenta días de duración sin interrupción\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisciplina de sangre tres veces por semana.

Al contrario, yo había de vivir de la dependencia completa de los que me permitirían el uso de la cosas necesarias para mi existencia.  El Capuchino devoto solo puede usar las cosas que son provistas.  No puede llegar a ser el dueño de tales cosas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl gran sistema de las prácticas ascéticas con el cual yo había sido identificado desde la niñez ahora llegó a ser bien desarrollado.  Con esperanza, esperé a ver los frutos de mis sufrimientos y labores.  ¡Pero los frutos tan deseados nunca aparecieron!  En el profundo de mi ser solo había la soledad, la desolación, y el temor.  Era temeroso de todo—temeroso de la vida, temeroso del amor.  Tenía miedo de mi propia resolución y miedo de Dios.  Ahora, a la edad de treinta y tres años, me di cuenta de que el patrón de mi vida entera se podía explicar con una palabra:  “¡NO!”  “No hagas esto, no hagas aquello!  ¡No pienses!  ¡No, no, no!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLas artes presentaban el detalle más positivo en mi vida en el convento.  Mientras estuve allí, pude aprender y practicar la música.  La música llegó a ser una necesidad indispensable en mi vida a través de la cual pude aliviar las presiones enormes en mi persona interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespués de llegar a ser sacerdote y de haber estudiado más el campo de la música, decidí dedicar más tiempo al estudio del piano.  Busqué un profesor competente; esto fue la manera en que Americo Caramuta entró en mi vida y llegó a ser una parte del mundo pequeño y circunscribido en que yo vivía.  Luego aprendí que él era un Cristiano evangélico y un miembro de la iglesia Bautista.  Por mi parte, mi vida siguió siendo una vida de oscuridad completa.  Pero a la vez estaba creciendo dentro de mí el deseo de vivir verdaderamente.  El tipo de existencia que había experimentado llegó a ser completamente inaceptable a mí.  ¡Quería separarme completamente de esa existencia!  ¡Pero, tenía miedo!  Necesitaba tan desesperadamente a alguien que podría reorientarme y dirigirme—alguien que me inculcaría la fuerza.  ¡Americo era ese hombre!  Compartí mi crisis profunda con él y en nuestras conversaciones él contestó mis preguntas de la Biblia, la Palabra de Dios.  Lentamente, la luz empezó a resplandecer mientras me di cuenta de que las muchas creencias que yo había considerado infalibles no tenían ninguna fundación firme en la Palabra de Dios—creencias como el sacerdocio, la infalibilidad papal, los sacramentos, y muchas otras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMi separación de todo asociado con el Catolicismo ahora era verificado.  ¡Pero al mirar el mundo afuera, empecé a sentir el pánico!  A la edad de doce años había entrado en el convento; ahora tenía treinta y tres años.  Había vivido mi vida entera en este ambiente.  Todos mis estudios eran relacionados a este tipo de vida.  ¿Qué haría fuera de esta vida donde había pasado mis mejores años?  ¡Todo llegó a ser una pregunta grande!  ¡Mi familia, mis amistades, mi futuro—todo demandaba una respuesta!  Sin embargo, tomé una decisión clara y salí del convento y de la iglesia Católica.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespués, empecé a asistir a los servicios de la iglesia Bautista en Madrid y el segundo domingo respondí a la invitación del pastor.  ¡Sentí un gran gozo en mi corazón!  A solas con Dios en mi hogar, cesé mis esfuerzos inútiles para obtener la salvación a través de mis propias obras.  Sabía que las obras nunca podían salvarme.  Mi vida entera daba prueba clara de esta verdad.  Me di a mi mismo completamente a Dios con una pasión nueva y santa.  Recibí a Cristo como el único Salvador de mi alma y Él llegó a mí a través de una paz simple pero muy precisa, la cual yo nunca había experimentado.  Ahora era de Cristo y Él me amaba.  ¡Esto era el secreto!  Fui bautizado en la iglesia en la cuidad de Madrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuego, me inscribí en el Seminario Bautista de Barcelona y completé mis estudios en la Teología y la Educación Religiosa.  El Señor me ha llamado a ser un ministro en Su iglesia, y el Centro de la Conversión, (anteriormente) en Havertown, PA, hizo lo posible para que yo fuera a los Estados Unidos para terminar mis estudios de la Biblia y de la música.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePara encontrar la verdad, fue necesario pagar un precio pero nunca me he arrepentido.

Here is my story:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was born of Roman Catholic parents in Wolseley, Saskatchewan, and brought up strictly in the Roman Catholic faith. From early youth I was trying to be good, yet falling progressively into sin. With the rest of the crowd I was heading to perdition. I was told that by becoming a monk and priest, I could avoid sin and be more certain of my salvation. Because I was sincerely seeking salvation, I entered the Basilian Order of monks, received the long black robe and an adopted monastic name of “Saint Hilarion the Great”, and made my vows. As a monk-student I was called “Brother Hilarion”, and after ordination, “Father Hilarion”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow eager I was to serve the Lord Jesus Christ! By leading a monastic life I thought I was doing just that. I performed all my monastic duties to the last rule. I whipped Myself every Wednesday and Friday evening till at times my back bled; in penance I often kissed the floor; often I ate my meager meal kneeling on the floor, or completely deprived myself of food. I did many forms of penances for I was truly seeking salvation. I was taught that I could eventually merit heaven. I did not know that the Word of God says: “By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter years of studies and manual labor in the monastery, I was ordained a priest. I served five parishes in the Lamont, Alberta area; said mass every day; confessed people; recited the rosary to Mary; had many devotions to many saints; recited the breviary of formula prayers every day, and, as a monk, performed my penances more fervently than ever. Yet these did not satisfy my weary soul. I was heading into even deeper distress of soul than when I was a boy. But Christ was watching and waiting for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the studies for the priesthood we had three text books on the Bible, but not the Bible. After I was ordained a priest I became acquainted with the Catholic version of the Bible and in it were striking verses that contradicted my very beliefs and practices. God’s Book said one thing, my church another. Who was right, the Roman Church or God? I eventually preferred to believe God’s Word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe monastic life and the sacraments prescribed by the Roman Catholic Church did not help me to come to know Christ personally and find salvation. After twelve and a half long years I escaped from the monastery, a lost sinner, without peace in my soul. In me was still the old nature of the “old man”. I needed a new nature, a new heart. “… the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off … the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” (Ephesians 4:21-24). That can only be brought about by being born again of the Spirit of God by faith alone in Jesus Christ, and not by monotonous repetition of prayers, penances, sacrifices and good works. “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI realized that the man-made sacraments of my church and my good works were in vain for salvation. They led but to a false security. Soon after, I believed that Christ died for me because I could not save my soul, and I trusted Him alone for my salvation. When I repented of my sins and accepted Him into my life, believing that on the cross He paid the complete penalty for my condemnation, I knew that my sins were not only forgiven but forgotten and that I was justified before God. “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). The blood of Christ cleansed me from all my sins. “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). And now I have God’s peace. “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt last I found salvation full and free through Jesus Christ who died that you and I might live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFriend, if you, too, are trying to reach heaven on your own, may I impress upon you that it is “not of works, lest any man should boast”. Heaven is infinite and can never be earned; we are finite and sinful. Christ alone is the way and the answer. “There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave Himself a ransom for all” (1 Timothy 2:5,6). Come to Him now just as you are, admitting your sins. Ask His pardon and accept Him as your own Saviour and Lord. Begin to rely on Him for your eternal welfare, for He bought salvation for you. He calls you now: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen you, too, can rejoice with me in your newfound Friend and Saviour, the living Christ!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—By Converted Monk and Priest HENRY GREGORY ADAMS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":27602791687,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-100","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":27602791751,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-100-RUSH","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":27602791815,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-250","price":87.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":27602791879,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-250-RUSH","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":27602791943,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-500","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":27602792071,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-500-RUSH","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602792519,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-1000","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602792647,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-1000-RUSH","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602792711,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-2500","price":355.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602792839,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-2500-RUSH","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602792903,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-5000","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602792967,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-5000-RUSH","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602793095,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-10000","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602793159,"sku":"PMT503ENKJ-10000-RUSH","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/8334\/products\/503ENKJ-1.jpg?v=1471284154"},{"product_id":"pmt-this-is-my-story-italian","title":"This Is My Story (Italian)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eChe sollievo e che grande pace l’anima mia ebbe quando Cristo mi trovo’, io che ero un peccatore perduto.

I miei genitori erano dei cattolici molto osservanti. Sin dalla mia gioventu’ mi sforazavo di essere buono, ma gradualmente cadevo nel peccato. Con il resto della folla, mi dirigevo sempre piu’ verso l’inferno.

Come studente monaco mi chiamavano “\u003ci\u003eFratello Ilarione\u003c\/i\u003e” e dopo l’ordinazione, “\u003ci\u003ePadre Ilarione\u003c\/i\u003e”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesideravo veramente servire il Signore Gesu’ Cristo! Credevo che, essendo monaco, stavo servendo Cristo. Ero veramente puntiglioso nell’osservanza delle regole del mio ordine. Mi flaggellavo ogni mercoledi’ e venerdi’ sera e mi fermavo solo quando la schiena sanguinava. In penitenza, baciavo il pavimento, mangiavo poco cibo in ginocchio, o digiunavo completamente. Feci penitenza nelle varie forme che mi furono insegnate, perche’ realmente cercavo la salvezza. M’era stato persino detto che un giorno avrei potuto meritare il paradiso. Non sapevo assolutamente che la Bibbia, la Parola di Dio, insegna: \u003ci\u003e“Voi infatti siete stati salvati per grazia, mediante la fede, e ciò non viene da voi, è il dono di Dio,non per opere, perché nessuno si glori. Noi infatti siamo opera sua, creati in Cristo Gesú per le buone opere che Dio ha precedentemente preparato, perché le compiamo.”\u003c\/i\u003e (Efesini 2:8-10).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDopo anni di studi e di lavoro manuale nel monastero, fui ordinato prete. Servi’ in cinque parrocchie differenti in lamont, provincia di Alberta, Canada.  Dicevo  messa ogni giorno, confessavo la gente, recitavo il rosario a Maria, invocavo i vari santi. Recitavo il breviario quotidianamente, e in qunto monaco facevo penitenza con grande fervenza ogni giorno. Eppure tutto questo non dava pace alla mia anima stanca. Andavo sempre piu’ verso la disperazione dell’anima piu’ di quando ero giovane. Ma Cristo, nella Sua grazia, mi aspettava. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTra le materie di studio per il sacerdozio avevamo tre libri sulla Bibbia, ma mai la Bibbia stessa. Quando fui ordinato sacerdote ebbi occasione di leggere la Bibbia cattolica e trovai dei versetti che chiaramente contraddicevano il mio credo e le mie pratiche. La mai chiesa diceva una cosa, la Bibbia un’ altra. Chi aveva ragione: la Chiesa romana o Dio? Alla fine dovetti arrendermi alla evidenza: dovevo confidare solamente nella Parola di Dio, la Bibbia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa vita monastica e i sacramenti prescritti dalla chiesa cattolica romana non mi aiutarono in alcun modo a trovare la salvezza e a conoscere Cristo personalmente. Dopo dodici lunghi anni, scappai dal monastero, un peccatore perduto, senza pace nell’anima. In me c’era ancora la vecchia natura del “vecchio” uomo. Aevvo bisogno di una nuova natura, di un nuovo cuore. “se pure gli avete dato ascolto e siete stati ammaestrati in lui secondo la verità che è in Gesú per spogliarvi, per quanto riguarda la condotta di prima, dell’uomo vecchio che si corrompe per mezzo delle concupiscenze della seduzione, per essere rinnovati nello spirito della vostra mente,e per essere rivestiti dell’uomo nuovo, creato secondo Dio nella giustizia e santità della verità.” (Efesini 4:21-24).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolo quando una persona nasce di nuovo per mezzo dello Spirito di Dio e tramite la sola fede in Gesu’ Cristo cio’ puo’ accadere. Le vane ripetizioni delle preghiere, le penitenze, i sacrifici e le buone opere non possono cambiare il cuore dell’uomo. “Gesú gli rispose e disse: In verità, in verità ti dico che se uno non è nato di nuovo, non può vedere il regno di Dio.” (Giovanni 3:3). “Credi nel Signore Gesú Cristo, e sarai salvato tu e la casa tua.” (Atti 16:31).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMi resi conto che i sacramenti umani della mia chiesa e le mie buone opere erano inutili per la salvezza della mia anima. Davano soltanto un falso senso di sicurezza. Dopo un breve tempo credetti nel fatto che Cristo mori’ per me e che io non potevo salvare la mia anima e confidai solo in Lui per la mia salvezza. Quando mi ravvedetti dei miei peccati, accettai Cristo nella mia vita credendo che solo Cristo pago’ interamente per la mia condanna  sulla croce. I miei peccati non solo erano perdonati, ma anche dimenticati; ero giustificato dinanzi a Dio: “Tutti hanno peccato e sono privi della gloria di Dio.” (Romani 3:23). “Il salario del peccato e’ la morte, ma il dono di Dio e’ la vita eterna tramite Gesu’ Cristo, nostro Signore.” (Romani 6:23).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIl sangue di Cristo mi purifico’ da tutti i miei peccati. “Il sangue di Gesu’ Cristo, il Suo Figliuolo, ci purifica da ogni peccato.” (1 Giovanni 1:7).

Desde muito jovem eu tentava ser bom, más caindo progressivamente em pecado. Junto com o resto da multidão que se dirigia para a perdição, me disseram que por se tornar um monge e padre, eu poderia evitar o pecado e ter mais certeza da minha salvação. Porque eu estava sinceramente buscando salvação, entrei na Ordem Basília de monges. Recebei o manto preto longo e um nome monástico adotado de “São Hilarion, o Grande” e fiz os meus votos. Como um monge aluno, eu foi chamado de “Irmão Hilarion”, e depois da ordenação “Padre Hilarion”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComo eu estava ansioso para servir ao Senhor Jesus Cristo! Por viver a vida monástica, eu pensei que estava O servindo. Eu fiz todas as minhas obrigações monásticas. Toda quarta-feira e sexta-feira eu me chicotei, muitas vezes até sangrei. Em penitência muitas vezes eu beijei o chão. Frequentemente comi a minha comida ajoelhado no chão, ou me privei totalmente da comida. Eu fiz porque estava buscando a salvação. Eu fui ensinado que poderia ganhar o Céu através destas obras. Mas não sabia que a Palavra de Deus diz: “Por que pela graça sois salvos, por meio da fé; e isto não vem de vós, é dom de Deus.” (Efésios 2.8,9)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepois de muitos anos de estudos e trabalho no mosteiro, fui ordenado padre. Eu servi em cinco paróquias em Lamont, Alberta, fiz missa todo dia, ouvi confissões, rezei o terço á Maria, fiz tempo devocional para muitos santos, fiz muitas orações todo dia, e fiz penitência mais ferventemente do que nunca. Mas tudo isto não satisfez a minha alma cansada. Eu estava ficando mais angustiado em minha alma do que quando era menino. Mas Cristo estava me vendo e me esperando.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNos estudos para se tornar padre, tínhamos três livros textos sobre a Bíblia, mas não estudamos a Bíblia. Depois de ser ordenado padre, eu conhecia a versão católica da Bíblia. Comecei a ver os versículos impressionantes que eram contrários às minhas crenças e práticas. O Livro de Deus disse uma coisa e a minha igreja outra coisa. Quem estava certo, a Igreja Romana ou Deus? Depois de um tempo preferi crer na Palavra de Deus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vida monástica e os sacramentos prescritos pela Igreja Católica Romana não me ajudaram a vir conhecer a Cristo pessoalmente e encontrar a salvação. Depois de 12 anos e meio de tempo eu escapei do mosteiro, um pecador perdido, sem paz na minha alma. Em mim ainda era a velha natureza do “homem velho”. Eu precisava de uma nova natureza, um novo coração, “...como está a verdade em Jesus; Que, quanto ao trato passado, vos despojeis do velho homem, que se corrompe pelas concupiscências do engano; E vos renoveis no espírito da vossa mente; E vos revistais do novo homem, que segundo Deus é criado em verdadeira justiça e santidade.” (Efésios 4:21-24). Isso só pode acontecer por nascer de novo do Espírito de Deus, somente pela fé em Jesus Cristo, e não por orações monótonas repetidas e penitências, sacrifícios e boas obras. “Aquele que não nascer de novo, não pode ver o reino de Deus” (João 3:3). “Crê no Senhor Jesus Cristo e serás salvo” (Atos 16:31).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEu percebi que os sacramentos feitos por homens da minha igreja e minhas boas obras foram em vão para a salvação. Eles levaram a uma falsa segurança. Logo depois, eu acreditava que Cristo morreu por mim e que eu não podia salvar minha alma, eu confiava só nEle para a minha salvação. Quando me arrependi dos meus pecados e entreguei a minha vida, acreditando que na cruz, Ele pagou a penalidade completa para minha condenação, eu sabia que meus pecados não foram apenas perdoados, mas esquecidos, e que eu estava justificado diante de Deus. “Todos pecaram e destituídos estão da glória de Deus” (Romanos 3.23). “O salário do pecado é a morte, mas o dom gratuito de Deus é a vida eterna em Cristo Jesus nosso Senhor” (Romanos 6.23). O sangue de Cristo me purificou de todos os meus pecados. “O sangue de Jesus Cristo seu Filho, nos purifica de todo pecado” (1 João 1:7). E agora eu tenho paz com Deus. “Sendo pois justificados pela fé, temos paz com Deus por nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo.” (Romanos 5:1)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAté que enfim eu encontrei a salvação plena e livre por meio de Jesus Cristo que morreu para que você e eu pudéssemos viver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmigo, se você também está tentando alcançar o Céu pelo seu próprio esforço, posso lhe dizer que “não vem das obras, para que ninguém se glorie”.

Cristo é o caminho e a resposta. “Há um só Deus e um só Mediador entre Deus e os homens, Jesus Cristo homem que deu a si mesmo em resgate por todos” (1 Timóteo 2:5,6). Venha a Ele agora, assim como você é. Arrependa – se dos seus pecados. Peça o Seu perdão e receba Jesus como seu Senhor e Salvador. Comece a confiar Nele para o seu bem-estar eterno porque Ele comprou a salvação para você.

Como Estudiante-Monje fui llamado “Hermano Hilarión” y después de mi ordenación, “Padre Hilarión”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e¡Estaba tan deseoso de servir al Señor Jesucristo! Viviendo una vida monástica pensé que estaba haciendo precisamente esto. Puse en práctica todos mis deberes hasta la última norma. Cada miércoles y viernes por la noche hería mi cuerpo de manera que en algunas ocasiones mi espalda llegó a sangrar. En penitencia algunas veces besaba el piso; muchas veces comí insignificante comida arrodillado en el suelo, o del todo me abstenía de alimentos. Hice muchas clases de penitencias pues en verdad buscaba mi salvación. Se me dijo que eventualmente podía merecerme el cielo. Yo no sabía lo que la Palabra de Dios dice: “Porque por gracia sois salvos por medio de la fe, y esto no de vosotros; pues es don de Dios; no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe.” (Efesios 2:8,9).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespués de muchos estudios y trabajo manual en el monasterio, fui ordenado como sacerdote. Serví en cuatro parroquias en el área de Lamont, Alberta; oficiaba la misa cada día; confesaba a la gente; rezaba el rosario a María; y tenía muchas devociones para muchos santos; cada día recitaba las oraciones de la misa, y, como monje, hacía mis penitencias más ferviente que nunca. Sin embargo esto no satisfacía mi alma cansada. La agonía de mi alma era aun más profunda que la que tenía cuando era un niño. Pero Cristo me estaba mirando y me esperaba.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEntre mis estudios para el sacerdocio yo tenía tres libros de texto referentes a la Biblia, pero no la Biblia. Después que fui ordenado para el sacerdocio me familiaricé con la Versión Católica de la Biblia y en ella había algunos versículos que notoriamente contradecían mis creencias y prácticas. El Libro de Dios decía una cosa, mi iglesia decía otra. ¿Quién estaba en lo correcto, la iglesia romana o Dios? Eventualmente creí la Palabra de Dios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa vida monástica y los sacramentos prescritos por la Iglesia Católica Romana no me ayudaron a conocer a Cristo personalmente ni a encontrar la salvación.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespués de largos doce años y medio yo escapé del monasterio, como un pecador perdido y sin paz en mi alma. En mí aun había la vieja naturaleza del “hombre viejo”. Necesitaba la nueva naturaleza, un nuevo corazón. “...cómo la verdad está en Jesús. ...despojaos del viejo hombre, que está viciado conforme a las concupiscencias engañosas; y renovaos en el espíritu de vuestra mente; y vestíos del nuevo hombre, que es creado según Dios, en justicia y en santidad verdadera.” (Efesios 4:21-24). La vida nueva es el resultado de nacer otra vez del Espíritu de Dios por la fe en Cristo Jesús, y no a través de rezos monótonos y repetitivos, penitencias, sacrificios y buenas obras. “El que no naciere otra vez, no puede ver el reino de Dios”. “Cree en el Señor Jesucristo, y serás salvo tú, y tu casa” (Hechos 16:31).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComprendí que los sacramentos de mi Iglesia (hechos por el hombre) y mis buenas obras eran en vano para la salvación; ellos me llevaban a una falsa seguridad. Poco tiempo después creí que Cristo murió por mí porque yo no podía salvarme a mí mismo, y deposité mi fe en Él para mi salvación.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCuando yo me arrepentí de mis pecados y acepté a Cristo en mi corazón creyendo que en la cruz Él pagó en su totalidad la deuda de mi condenación, y entendí que mis pecados fueron perdonados y olvidados y que fui justificado delante de Dios. “Por cuanto todos pecaron, y están destituidos de la gloria de Dios;” Romanos 3:23 “Porque la paga del pecado es muerte; mas el don de Dios es vida eterna en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro” (Romanos 6:23). La sangre de Jesucristo su Hijo me limpió de todos mis pecados. “la sangre de Jesucristo su Hijo nos limpia de todo pecado” (1 Juan 1:7). Y ahora tengo la paz de Dios. “Justificados, pues, por la fe, tenemos paz para con Dios por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,” (Romanos 5:1).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAl fin encontré salvación plena y gratuita a través de Jesucristo quien murió para que tú y yo pudiésemos vivir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmigo, si tú también estás tratando de alcanzar el cielo por tí mismo, me gustaría grabar en tu mente y corazón que “no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe”. El cielo es infinito y no lo podemos ganar, pues tú y yo somos finitos y pecadores. Sólo Cristo es el camino y la respuesta. “Porque hay un solo Dios, y un solo mediador entre Dios y los hombres, Jesucristo hombre; el cual se dio a sí mismo en rescate por todos;” (1 Timoteo 2:5,6). Ven a Él ahora mismo, tal como estás, admitiendo tus pecados. Pide Su perdón y acéptale como tu Salvador y Señor. Confia en Él para tu salvación eterna pues Él compró tu salvación. Él te llama ahora mismo: “ Venid a mí todos los que estáis trabajados y cargados, y yo os haré descansar.” (Mateo 11:28).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEntonces tú también, junto conmigo, podrás regocijarte en tu nuevo Amigo y Salvador, ¡El Cristo Vivo!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Por Un Monje y Sacerdote Convertido HENRY GREGORY ADAMS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PrintMyTract.com","offers":[{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 100","offer_id":27602806791,"sku":"PMT503SP-100","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 100","offer_id":27602806855,"sku":"PMT503SP-100-RUSH","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 250","offer_id":27602806919,"sku":"PMT503SP-250","price":87.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 250","offer_id":27602806983,"sku":"PMT503SP-250-RUSH","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 500","offer_id":27602807047,"sku":"PMT503SP-500","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 500","offer_id":27602807111,"sku":"PMT503SP-500-RUSH","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602807175,"sku":"PMT503SP-1000","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 1000","offer_id":27602807239,"sku":"PMT503SP-1000-RUSH","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602807303,"sku":"PMT503SP-2500","price":355.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 2500","offer_id":27602807367,"sku":"PMT503SP-2500-RUSH","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602807431,"sku":"PMT503SP-5000","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 5000","offer_id":27602807495,"sku":"PMT503SP-5000-RUSH","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (up to 3 weeks) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602807559,"sku":"PMT503SP-10000","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rush (1 week) \/ 10000","offer_id":27602807623,"sku":"PMT503SP-10000-RUSH","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/8334\/products\/503SP-1.jpg?v=1471284167"},{"product_id":"pmt-saved-by-grace-a-priests-testimony","title":"Saved By Grace: A Priest's Testimony","description":"\u003cp\u003eI was born into Roman Catholicism. My people are sincere, morally good Roman Catholics, and have been for hundreds of years. They are sincere, but sincerely wrong with regards to their eternal salvation. I began my study for the Roman Catholic priesthood immediately after the eighth grade, spending the first eight years, high-school and college in the minor seminary. The four years of theology after college were spent in the major seminary. I was indoctrinated fully into the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. I was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest and sang my first mass in my home state of Ohio in the year of 1937 surrounded by all the pomp and ceremony of the Roman Catholic Church. After ordination I attended a teachers’ college and taught school as a priest-professor for a number of years. I spent most of my time, however, as a parish priest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnother sinner saved by grace.\u003c\/strong\u003e “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). I quit the Roman Catholic priesthood a number of years ago. At that time I did not possess the wonderful joy and security of salvation. I left because the doubts, which had been accumulating for many years, by far outweighed the validity of its claims. It was not until 1953 that the full realization of the new birth came to me and I accepted by faith the salvation so freely offered by God through His Son Jesus Christ. The beautiful simplicity of Christ’s words to Nicodemus has meaning for me today. The clear statement of our Lord in John 3:3 “... verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God,” has brought about a new life within me. Personal salvation is such a glorious gift, (Ephesians 2:8), that I never cease to daily thank our heavenly Father for it. It is by the grace of God that I now have the means to be in Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter I left the Roman Catholic Church and began an earnest study of the Bible, the book of Hebrews (especially chapter 2, verse 3) bothered me. “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him?” A person can become so absorbed in the many apparent niceties of Roman Catholicism that he or she finds it difficult to loosen himself from it and becomes lost in his own confusion. Anyone, however, may be delivered from the bondage of such a system of cleverly assembled philosophy and theology by looking in faith to our loving Savior, Jesus Christ. Regardless of man-made traditions and teachings, God’s Word tells us in I John 5:11-13 that faith in only Jesus Christ will give us eternal salvation. “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” This life in the Son is of no purpose until the new birth as recorded in John chapter 3 has taken place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter I left the priesthood, and before I was saved, I began a review of my Roman Catholic theology. The more it was studied and scrutinized, the more it became apparent that it did not agree with the Bible. A comparison was made between the teachings of my theology books and God’s text book, the Bible. Such a critical comparison had never been undertaken in the seminary. The Roman Catholic Church interprets the Bible whenever a disagreement is apparent. It became a matter of choice between God’s Word or the additions to it—the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The choice could only be God’s Word rather than the word of man. Only after about two years of study in the Scriptures, especially the New Testament, did it become obvious to me that the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, when they distinguish it as such, apart from the Bible, were foreign and often contrary to it. I compared the Roman Catholic Bible and the Protestant Bible (King James Version), with my theology books and found that both Bibles disagreed with these teachings. I found that the Roman Catholic doctrines of the sacraments, the mass, confession to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, worship to Mary and the veneration of the saints and intercession to them, the rosary, medals, relics and so on are all unscriptural. I found that tradition is a very poor source of truth. Since it is man-made, it must depend upon the limitations of the human mind, and as a consequence, it is fallible. The Bible says in Matthew 15:9, “But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” The Roman Catholic Church, in pious platitudes, claims to recognize the Bible as God’s Word, but in reality follows the traditions of men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince I have confessed my sins to Him and in faith believed on Jesus Christ as my Savior, He now has taken over in my life. My only desire is to be used by Him to His honor and glory. He has given me happiness, a Christian wife (Dorothea Hulpke), a former missionary nurse to the Belgian Congo. Our burden is for the unsaved. We are especially interested in giving the salvation message to Roman Catholic people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince my salvation I have attended the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. The Lord has used me to teach in Christian schools. He has afforded me the opportunity of attending and graduating from a Protestant seminary with a bachelor degree in divinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is our prayer that we ever be mindful of the unsaved. Roman Catholics especially are so steeped in a system which has an outward form of godliness but has no power for eternal salvation. It is our constant prayer that we may be a witness to them. I do rejoice with Paul, as he wrote to the Romans, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). We rejoice also with him as he testified in Romans 5:2, “By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Harry G.

O meu povo é sincero. Eles são bons Católicos com um padrão moral bem alto. E por centenas de anos minha família tem sido assim. Comecei meus estudos para ser padre imediatamente depois do 9º ano, passando os anos de ensino fundamental, ensino médio e faculdade no seminário menor.  Recebi toda a instrução doutrinária da igreja Católica. Fui ordenado como padre e cantei a primeira missa em 1937 em Ohio, o estado onde nasci. Depois da ordenação eu participei numa faculdade para professores e ensinei como padre-professor por vários anos.  Passei boa parte de meu tempo, porém, como padre de uma paróquia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMais um pecador salvo pela graça de Deus.\u003c\/strong\u003e “Porque todos pecaram e destituídos estão da glória de Deus.” (Romanos 3.23) Alguns anos atrás eu desisti de ser padre da Igreja Católica. Naquela época eu não possui a grande alegria e segurança de minha salvação. Eu saí porque as dúvidas, que se acumularam durante muitos anos, pesaram muito mais do que a veracidade da doutrina católica.  Foi só em 1953 que entendi completamente o novo nascimento e aceitei pela fé a salvação oferecida gratuitamente por Deus através de Seu Filho Jesus Cristo. A simplicidade das palavras de Cristo a Nicodemos faz sentido para mim agora. A afirmação clara de nosso Senhor em João 3.3, “...Na verdade, na verdade te digo que aquele que não nascer de novo, não pode ver o reino de Deus,” produziu em mim uma vida nova.  Salvação pessoal é um presente tão precioso (Efésios 2.8) que eu não cesso de dar graças  ao nosso Pai Celestial por providenciá-la.  É pela graça de Deus que agora posso estar em Cristo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepois que deixei a Igreja Católica e comecei a estudar intensamente a Bíblia, o livro aos Hebreus (especialmente capítulo 2 e versículo 3) me incomodou muito. “Como escaparemos nós, se não atentarmos para uma tão grande salvação, a qual, começando a ser anunciada pelo Senhor, foi-nos depois confimada pelos que a ouviram.”  Uma pessoa pode se perder nas coisas aparentemente boas da Igreja Católica que ela acha difícil se livrar da igreja e acaba se perdendo na própria confusão.  Qualquer pessoa, porém, pode ser livrada das garras desse sistema de filosofia e teologia se ela simplesmente olhar em fé ao nosso amável Senhor Jesus Cristo.  Apesar das tradições e ensinamentos humanos, a Palavra de Deus nos diz em 1 João 5.11-13 que a fé somente em Jesus nos dará a salvação eterna.  “E o testemunho é este: que Deus nos deu a vida eterna: e esta vida está em seu Filho.  Quem tem o Filho  tem a vida; quem não tem o Filho de Deus não tem a vida.  Estas coisas vos escrevi a vós, os que credes no nome do Filho de Deus, para que saibais que tendes a vida eterna, e para que creais no nome do Filho de Deus.”  Essa vida no Filho não tem propósito até que o novo nascimento constatado em João capítulo 3 tenha acontecido.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepois de sair do sacerdócio e antes de me converter eu comecei uma grande revisão da doutrina Católica.  Quanto mais a estudei e pesquisei, mais se tornou claro que não concordava com a Bíblia.  Fiz uma comparação entre os ensinamentos de meus livros teológicos e o livro texto de Deus, a Bíblia.  Tal comparação crítica nunca foi feita no seminário.  Quando aparece uma diferença entre a doutrina e a Palavra de Deus, a Igreja Católica interpreta a Bíblia da forma que quer.  Me deparei com a necessidade de fazer uma escolha entre a Palavra de Deus e os acréscimos – os ensinamentos da Igreja Católica.  Tive que escolher a Palavra de Deus e não a palavra do homem.  Somente depois de uns dois anos de estudo nas Escrituras, especialmente no Novo Testamento, ficou claro para mim que os ensinamentos da Igreja Católica, quando separados da Bíblia, muitas vezes são contrários a Ela.  Comparei a Bíblia Católica e a Bíblia Protestante (versão do Rei Tiago) com meus livros teológicos e descobri que ambas as Bíblias discordavam com os livros.  Descobri que as doutrinas Católicas dos sacramentos, a missa, confissão ao padre, purgatório, indulgências, adoração a Maria e a veneração dos santos, oração aos santos, o terço, medalhas, relíquias, e muitas outras coisas parecidas são todas anti-bíblicas.  Percebi que a tradição não é uma fonte confiável para nos ensinar a verdade.  Já que é feito pelo homem, depende da mente limitada do homem, e portanto, é falível.  A Bíblia diz em Mateus 15.9, “Mas, em vão me adoram, ensinando doutrinas que são preceitos dos homens.”  A Igreja Católica piamente declara que reconhece a Bíblia como a Palavra de Deus, mas, na verdade, segue as tradições humanas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesde que confessei meus pecados a Deus e, em fé, cri em Jesus Cristo como meu único e suficiente Salvador, Ele tomou controle da minha vida.  Meu único desejo é o de ser usado por Ele, para Sua honra e glória.  Ele tem me dado alegria e uma esposa Cristã (Dorothea Hulpke), que antigamente foi enfermeira missionária no Congo Bêlgico.  Nosso desejo é alcançar os perdidos.  Estamos interessados especialmente em dar a mensagem de salvação ao povo Católico.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepois de me converter, tive o privilégio de frequentar o Instituto Bíblico de Los Angeles.  Deus tem me usado para ensinar em escolas Cristãs.  Ele me deu a oportunidade de estudar num seminário Protestante e me formar como bacharel em teologia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eÉ nossa oração que sejamos sempre cientes dos perdidos, os que estão sem Cristo.  Os Católicos especialmente estão tão ligados a um sistema que possui uma forma externa de piedade mas não tem o poder para a salvação.  É nossa oração constante que possamos ser uma testemunha a eles.  Me regozijo junto com Paulo, quando escreveu aos romanos, “Tendo sido, pois, justificados pela fé, temos paz com Deus, por nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo.

Mi gente es sincera, Católicos Romanos morales, y lo ha sido por cientos de años. Los Católicos son sinceros, pero sinceramente equivocados en cuanto a la salvación eterna. Empecé mis estudios para el sacerdocio Católico Romano inmediatamente después del octavo grado, pasando los primeros ocho años, el bachillerato y la universidad, en el seminario menor. Después de la universidad, pasé los cuatro años de la teología en el seminario principal. Fui adoctrinado completamente en las enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica Romana. Fui ordenado como un sacerdote Católico Romano y canté mi primera misa en Ohio, mi estado nativo, en el año 1937 rodeado por toda la pompa y la ceremonia de la Iglesia Católica Romana. Después de mi ordenación, asistí a una universidad de profesores y enseñé la escuela como sacerdote-profesor por muchos años. Pero pasé la mayor parte de mi tiempo como párroco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOtro pecador salvado por la gracia.\u003c\/strong\u003e “Por cuanto todos pecaron, y están destituidos de la gloria de Dios” (Romanos 3:23). Renuncié el sacerdocio Católico Romano hace muchos años. En ese entonces no poseía el gozo maravilloso y la seguridad de la salvación. Salí porque las dudas que se habían acumulado a través de los años superaron la validez de sus reclamaciones. No fue hasta 1953 que la realización completa del nacimiento nuevo me llegó y acepté por la fe la salvación gratuitamente ofrecida por Dios a través de Su Hijo Jesucristo. La sencillez hermosa de las palabras de Cristo a Nicodemo tiene significado para mí hoy. La declaración clara de nuestro Señor en Juan 3:3, “...De cierto, de cierto te digo: El que no naciere otra vez, no puede ver el reino de Dios,” ha traido vida nueva dentro de mí. La salvación personal es un regalo tan glorioso (Efesios 2:8) que nunca ceso de diariamente agradecerle a nuestro Padre celestial por ella. Es por la gracia de Dios que tengo los medios para estar en Cristo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespués de que salí de la Iglesia Católica Romana y empecé un estudio serio de la Biblia, el libro de Hebreos—especialmente capítulo 2, versículo 3—me perturbaba. “¿Cómo escaparemos nosotros, si tuviéremos en poco una salvación tan grande? La cual, habiendo sido publicada primeramente por el Señor, nos fue confirmada por los que le oyeron.” Una persona puede llegar a ser tan concentrada en los puntos finos aparentes del Catolicismo Romano que encuentra que es difícil soltarse de él y llega a perderse en su propia confusión. Pero cualquiera puede ser librada de la esclavitud de tal sistema de teología y filosofía tan astutamente ensamblado con una mirada de fe a nuestro amante Salvador Jesucristo. A pesar de las tradiciones y las enseñanzas establecidas por el hombre, la Palabra de Dios nos dice en 1 Juan 5:11-13 que la fe puesta solamente en Jesucristo nos dará la salvación eterna. “Y éste es el testimonio: Que Dios nos ha dado vida eterna; y esta vida está en su Hijo. El que tiene al Hijo, tiene la vida; el que no tiene al Hijo de Dios, no tiene la vida. Estas cosas os he escrito a vosotros que creéis en el nombre del Hijo de Dios, para que sepáis que tenéis vida eterna, y para que creáis en el nombre del Hijo de Dios.” Esta vida en el Hijo no tiene propósito hasta que suceda el nuevo nacimiento como está escrito en Juan capítulo 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespués de renunciar el sacerdocio y antes de que fui salvado, empecé un repaso de mi teología Católica Romana. Pero más que estudié y escudriñé, llegó a ser obvio que mi teología no estaba de acuerdo con la Biblia. Hice una comparación entre las enseñanzas de mis libros de teología y el Libro del texto de Dios, la Biblia. Tal comparación analítica nunca fue emprendida en el seminario. La Iglesia Católica Romana interpreta la Biblia cuando un desacuerdo es obvio. Llegó a ser un asunto de elección entre la Palabra de Dios o lo que fue añadido a la Palabra de Dios, o sea las enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica Romana. La elección solamente podría ser la Palabra de Dios en vez de la palabra de los hombres. Solo después de estudiar las Escrituras por dos años, especialmente el Nuevo Testamento, entendí que las enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica Romana, cuando están distinguidas como tal aparte de la Biblia, eran extranjeras y muchas veces eran contrarias a la Biblia. Comparé la Biblia Católica Romana y la Biblia Protestante, la Versión del Rey Jaime con mis libros de teología y encontré que ambas Biblias estaban en desacuerdo con esas enseñanzas. Encontré que las doctrinas Católicas Romanas de los sacramentos, la misa, la confesión al sacerdote, el purgatorio, las indulgencias, la adoración a María y la veneración de los santos y la intercessión de ellos, el rosario, las medallas, las reliquias, y más no son Bíblicas. Encontré que la tradición es una mala fuente de la verdad. Porque la tradición está establecida por los hombres, tiene que depender de las limitaciones de la mente humana y por consequencia, es falible. La Biblia dice en Mateo 15:9, “Pero en vano me honran; enseñando como doctrinas mandamientos de hombres.” La Iglesia Católica Romana con los tópicos piadosos clama reconocer la Biblia como la Palabra de Dios, pero en realidad sigue las tradiciones de los hombres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesde que he confesado mis pecados a Él y en fe he creido en Jesucristo como mi Salvador, Él se ha encargado de mi vida. Mi único deseo es de ser usado por Él para Su honra y gloria. Él me ha dado la felicidad, una esposa Cristiana (Dorothea Hulpke) que era una misionera enfermera anteriormente en el Congo Belga. Nuestra carga es para los inconversos. Estamos especialmente interesados en dar el mensaje de la salvación a la gente Católica Romana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesde mi salvación he asistido al Instituto Bíblico de Los Angeles. El Señor me ha usado para enseñar en las escuelas Cristianas. Él me ha dado la oportunidad de asistir a un seminario Protestante y graduarme con una licenciatura en la teología. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEs nuestra oración que siempre seamos conscientes de los inconversos. Los Católicos Romanos especialmente están tan empapados en un sistema que tiene la apariencia de piedad pero no el poder para la salvación eterna. Es nuestra oración constante que podramos ser un testigo a ellos. Me regocijo con Pablo cuando él escribió a los Romanos, “Justificados, pues, por la fe, tenemos paz para con Dios por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo” (Romanos 5:1). También nos regocijamos con él cuando testificó en Romanos 5:2, “Por quien también tenemos entrada por la fe a esta gracia en la cual estamos firmes, y nos gloriamos en la esperanza de la gloria de Dios.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—por Harry G.

I studied at a Roman Catholic school taught by French priests. As my studies progressed, my desire was to become a Roman Catholic priest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter my studies were completed, I spent one year teaching in the school directed by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring a holy day I went to visit my parents. While there, I went for a walk with a friend and we met an old man who asked us the question, “Do you know Jesus Christ?” We thought that we did know about Jesus, but as he continued to witness to us we could not answer his questions. He told us that we needed to ask Jesus to come into our hearts as our personal Saviour for He died on the cross for our sins. He told us that we would go to Hell if we rejected Jesus. He witnessed to us for 35 minutes. At first we thought he was ridiculous, but he did not become discouraged with us. He continued to preach the Word of God to us. He invited us to his home and there he showed us many Scripture verses, and he asked us to read them. We were amazed to learn that this man could not read or write, but he had paid a man to read the Word of God to him and he memorized it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Holy Spirit convicted us and we both accepted Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour. The old man prayed with us and for us. When we finished praying, I knew I was a new person in Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(May I mention here that many Roman Catholics in Haiti are both Roman Catholics and Voodooists. I was one like this. At one time I had nine nails placed in my upper arm to keep the Voodoo demons from hurting me. But when Jesus came into my heart and really saved me, I put all of this evil under the blood of Jesus.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe next day I went to a Bible preaching Christian Church. But when my family learned of my conversion, I became a Protestant—as they put it. They told me that I must leave home, for they had one son who had become a Roman Catholic Brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo I had to leave home the second day after my conversion. I had no money and you can imagine my situation. However, I met a friend and told him of my problem. He gave me some money and I went to the Capital of Haiti, Port-Au-Prince. After being there for six days, I was again destitute. I had no place to live and had to sleep outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI prayed and asked God to take care of me, and He certainly did. The very same day I found a Christian family who took me in, and I was able to stay with them for six months. During this time God called me into His ministry. I went to a Bible Seminary to study the Word of God. After my seminary training, I preached four times a week and taught twice a day in a Church in the south of Haiti called Cayes. Later the Lord opened the way for me to work at a Christian radio station with the West Indies Mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lord blessed me and continued to direct me to a deeper consecration, and He led me to Prairie Bible Institute in Canada to further my studies in the Word of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile there the Lord impressed the burden upon my heart to work with The Conversion Center, Inc., as a missionary to the 100,000 Haitians living in New York City, for I have a very great burden for the salvation of Roman Catholics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am now seven years old in the Lord, and my greatest joy is winning souls to the Lord Jesus Christ.

El nos dijo que necesitabamos pedir a Jesús que entrara en nuestros corazones como nuestro Salvador personal porque El murió en la cruz por nuestros pecados. Nos dijo que iríamos al infierno al rechazar a Jesús. Nos testificó por treinta y cinco minutos. Al principio, pensabamos que él era ridículo, pero el señor no se desanimó con nosotros. Continuó a predicarnos la Palabra de Dios. Nos invitó a su hogar y allí nos mostró muchos versículos de la Biblia y nos pidió leerlos.

I have made my story brief and to the point. Here it is:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot very long ago, while I was still a Roman Catholic, I was sorting out some old papers I had accumulated in a shoebox, and I came across a Catholic Church Sunday Bulletin. It was only about two years old and I had kept it because it was from the church in which I had been married. In glancing at it, my eyes fell upon a paragraph and I paused to read it. It said that if we read the testimony of the Acts of the Apostles and the writings of the early fathers, we would see that Peter himself and his successors in the Papal Office from the very beginning, exercised authoritative leadership over the church, etc., etc.—it became worse as I read on. Something inside me strongly urged me to get out my old Catholic Bible and find the particular passage in Acts that would show Peter in the Papal Office. I searched and searched and a strange thing happened. I read Acts from beginning to end and could not find Peter in the Papal Office. I was stunned. I just could not believe it. Several weeks went by but somehow this upsetting incident never left my mind. I took a part time job in our apartment complex and there I made the acquaintance of a fine Christian lady who sensed my interest in churches. She presented me with a copy of the New Testament which was to become my passport to freedom as I would soon find out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI read and read and I could not believe my eyes. The reason being that although I always believed the Bible to be THE BOOK, I never really sat down to read it. I just believed that whatever the Roman Catholic Church taught us was the Word of God. So you can understand why I was so shocked after I read the entire New Testament. Masters at deception is a pretty strong phrase to use, however, I am at a loss for a better one to describe my feelings toward Romanism. With horror, I suddenly realized that the present state which I was in would lead me straight to Hell with no stops along the way. Here are just a few things I learned from the New Testament:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.\u003c\/strong\u003e We gain eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ when we accept Him as our personal Savior (1 John 5:11,12)—not by works such as penance, fasting, observance of Holy days, etc. See Ephesians 2:8,9.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no mediator between God and man, save Jesus Christ. This means no Pope, priest, departed saints, or anyone else they feel is qualified to make intercession for us. See 1 Timothy 2:5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nowhere in the New Testament did the early Christians line up for confession. Confession is to God alone (Luke 5:21). Our sins are always against God and not against the priest. The priest cannot take God’s place and forgive or retain sins, nor for that matter even ask God to forgive someone else’s sins because the priest, himself being a mortal, has his own sins to be concerned about. Every sin that I could possibly remember that had been confessed to a priest, I have re-confessed to God Himself because all those sins had never been forgiven God’s way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no such place as Purgatory. Purgatory is a fictitious place conveniently used by the Catholic Church for extorting money from believing, trusting and unsuspecting people. I beg you—do not give another penny in masses for the dead. Our eternal destiny is sealed before we die. We can choose now whether we want spiritual life or spiritual death!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Jesus Christ is the “Rock” in Matthew 16:18—not Peter. See 1 Corinthians 10:4 and 1 Peter 2:4-8. As you read your Bible, you will find many more verses attesting to the fact that Jesus is the Rock. Whom do you choose to believe? God or the Pope? Remember well, however, that your answer will mean the difference between Heaven or Hell after death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6.\u003c\/strong\u003e God hates and I repeat hates, idolatry. Yet, idolatry is practiced in Romanism as if it were most pleasing in God’s sight. Our Lord has no intention of sharing His Glory with plaster statues. READ YOUR BIBLES!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI could go on and on but the above is sufficient for a starter. After I decided to obey the Word of God rather than that of the Pope, I accepted Jesus as my Savior and I followed Him in Baptism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a former Roman Catholic, I believed everything I was taught until the Holy Spirit urged me to “search the scriptures” (Acts 17:11) the day I found the R.C. Church bulletin. As a Catholic, I was spiritually dead because deep down I knew I could never attain Heaven. I could never be good enough to see God. Eternal life is attained by faith only. This is His gift to His sinful children, delivered by Jesus on Calvary. I shudder to think of the coming doom for the millions still in the clutches of Romanism. I pray the blindness now being caused by Satan will be removed from the eyes and minds of the Roman Catholics who read this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo see the truth as revealed by the Holy Spirit (Christ’s Vicar on earth) is one of the most beautiful experiences we can ever hope for in this life. I cannot thank Jesus enough for shedding His Precious Blood for me, and so I wanted to share with you what I have found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeek Jesus and you will find peace, joy, and an eternal home in heaven with God who loves you. Jesus does not lie and He does not deceive. As you read your Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to teach you and help you understand the Scriptures the way in which God wants them understood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe time to accept Jesus is now!

A minha oração é que depois de ler esse testemunho verdadeiro de minha conversão ao Cristianismo, vocês possam ler suas Bíblias e descobrir a verdade por si mesmos. Aqui está a minha história resumida.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNão muito tempo atrás, enquanto ainda Católica, estava organizando alguns papeis que tinha guardado numa caixa de sapatos, quando achei um papel que continha “ordem de missa”.  A data nele era de somente dois anos antes e o tinha guardado porque era da igreja onde me casei.  Dei uma olhada rapidinha naquele papel e vi um parágrafo que parei para ler.  O autor disse que se lêssemos o testemunho dos Atos dos Apóstolos e o dos “pais” da igreja, veríamos que o próprio Pedro e os seguintes papas, desde o princípio, demonstraram liderança autoritária sobre a igreja, etc. – e quanto mais lia, pior ficou.  Senti um desejo muito forte de abrir minha Bíblia Católica e ler aquele trecho que mostrou Pedro como Papa.  Procurei e procurei, mas algo estranho aconteceu.  Li o livro de Atos do início ao fim mas não consegui achar nada que constatava Pedro como o Papa.  Fiquei atordoada.  Não podia acreditar.  Algumas semanas se passaram mas não podia esquecer esse incidente.  Então comecei a trabalhar em nosso prédio de apartamentos e foi assim que conheci uma senhora crente que percebeu meu interesse em igrejas diferentes.  Ela me presenteou com um Novo Testamento, que logo descobriria seria meu passaporte à liberdade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuanto mais lia, mais surpreendida fiquei.  O motivo foi que, por mais que sempre acreditei que a Bíblia era “O LIVRO”, nunca tinha parado para lê-la.  Simplesmente acreditei em tudo o que a Igreja Católica nos disse ser a Palavra de Deus.  Então pode entender porque fiquei tão chocada quando li o Novo Testamento inteiro. Sei que a frase “mestres de engano” é muito forte, mas não consigo pensar em outra que descreve melhor meus sentimentos enquanto ao Romanismo.  Horrorizada, percebi que meu estado presente me levaria direto ao inferno, sem nenhuma parada no meio do caminho.  Apresento algumas das coisas que aprendi no Novo Testamento:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. \u003c\/strong\u003eGanhamos salvação eterna através de fé em Jesus Cristo quando O aceitamos como nosso Salvador pessoal (1 João 5.11, 12) – não pelas obras, tais como penitência, jejum, observar os dias santos, etc.  Veja Efésios 2.8, 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.  \u003c\/strong\u003eNão há mediador entre Deus e o homem, senão Jesus Cristo.  Isso quer dizer que nenhum Papa, padre, santo, ou qualquer outra pessoa pode fazer intercessão por nós.  Veja 1 Timóteo 2.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. \u003c\/strong\u003eEm nenhum lugar no Novo Testamento podemos encontrar os primeiros cristãos indo para confissão.  O ato de confessar é algo feito a Deus, e somente a Ele (Lucas 5.21).  Nossos pecados sempre estão contra Deus, e não contra o padre.  O padre não pode tomar o lugar de Deus e perdoar ou reter nossos pecados, nem pedir que Deus perdoe os pecados de outros, pois ele, sendo humano, tem seus próprios pecados para tratar.  Cada pecado que podia lembrar que confessei a um padre, voltei a confessar, mas esta vez, a Deus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. \u003c\/strong\u003eNão há lugar chamado Purgatório.  Esse lugar é fictício e é algo inventado pela Igreja Católica para extorquir dinheiro de um povo confiante.  Te imploro – não dê nenhum centavo em missas para os mortos.  Nosso destino eterno é selado antes de morrermos.  Podemos escolher agora se queremos a morte espiritual ou a vida espiritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. \u003c\/strong\u003eJesus é a “Pedra” mencionada em Mateus 16.18 – e não Pedro.  Veja 1 Coríntios 10.4 e 1 Pedro 2.4-8.  Enquanto lê sua Bíblia, irá achar muitos versículos que testificam que Jesus é a Pedra.  Em quem vai acreditar - Deus ou o Papa?  Lembra bem, porém, que sua resposta fará a diferença entre o Céu ou o Inferno depois da morte.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Deus odeia – repito, odeia – a idolatria.  Mas ela é praticada no Romanismo como se fosse agradável aos olhos de Deus.  Nosso Senhor não vai, de jeito nenhum, compartilhar Sua glória com estátuas de gesso.  LEIAM SUAS BÍBLIAS!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoderia continuar citando coisas que aprendi, mas essas são suficientes.  Depois que tomei a decisão de obedecer a Palavra de Deus e não o Papa, aceitei Jesus como meu Salvador e fui batizada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComo alguém que já foi Católica, tenho que dizer que acreditei em tudo que fui ensinada até que o Espírito Santo me incitou a “examinar as Escrituras” (Atos 17.11).  Como Católica, era morta espiritualmente, porque no fundo do coração sabia que nunca poderia alcançar o Céu.  Nunca seria boa o suficiente para ver Deus.  A vida eterna é ganha somente através da fé.  Esse é Seu presente aos Seus filhos pecadores, entregue por Jesus no Calvário.  Estremeço quando penso na condenação vindoura para os milhões que ainda vivem nas garras do Romanismo.  A minha oração é que a cegueira causada por Satanás seja tirada dos olhos e mentes dos Católicos que lêem esse livrinho.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVer a verdade como revelada pelo Espírito Santo (o Vigário de Cristo na terra) é uma das experiências mais lindas que possamos almejar nesta vida.  Palavras não são suficientes para expressar a minha gratidão a Jesus por derramar Seu Sangue Precioso por mim, então queria compartilhar com você o que encontrei.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBusque a Jesus e encontrará paz, alegria e um lar eterno no Céu com Deus, que tanto lhe ama.  Jesus não mente e não engana.  Enquanto lê sua Bíblia, peça que o Espírito Santo possa lhe ensinar e lhe ajudar a entender as Escrituras na maneira em que Deus quer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO tempo de aceitar Jesus é agora!
