I am descended from my 42nd Great Grandfather Saint James the Just & basically grew up in the Southern Baptist Church as my Daddy was a Preacher & a Carpenter & followed in his footsteps :) But deep within myself there was an overpowering intuition that this denomination was hostile & alien towards sinners like myself. There's that 'Warm Fuzzy' feeling that trying to fit in with a congregation that just was going through the motions in whatever playbook that only offered the shortest & least offensive & best dressed options? This kind of "Worship" was focused more on social standing than on what was done for us on the Old Rugged Cross by Jesus Christ (which is where my 'inner self' always wanted to be). So I began to pray to the Lord to show me His True Church? I prayed everyday for a year & a half until "Jesus Showed Up!" 3 years ago in a very Soul shaking vision that took me to His Church halfway across the world to Moscow Russia to The Original 7 Churches in Revelations Chapter 1 & 2, that He gave unto His Apostles before & after His Resurrection in 34 c.e. at Antioch & that Church has remained unchanged since that time! Never have I felt more Fulfilled & Jubilant & loved like forever :) I am completely at Home! All of those years of 'Protestant Indoctrination' did a lot of damage to what I thought was the "Right" way & I am just a 'Beginner' all over again BUT I have never felt so on fire for Jesus Christ! God's Written Word is again like finding 'Lost Treasure' & I am still fiscally Poor BUT I AM rich beyond what the world believes materially as a measure of a man? I have a whole lot to share, a whole warehouse of miracles, like when I personally met Jesus when I was blown up in Vietnam & transited the dark tunnel of the "After Life" into the Lord's presence.. But that's a whole other story. Share with me how you came to be a Child of God :) I just opened this site, so I am learning how it works! Please be patient & may the Good Lord bless you :)
