" I Had a Woman at the well Conversion... According to John;4

                                              Like most children that are born in America they have  parents, and grow up in  a happy  family  and  become productful citizens in life. Well for me, that was just a fairy tale. My beginning in this earth was quite eventful. I was born weighing only 3 pounds, having to spend weeks in a incubator fighting for my very  life... which set the precedent for many years to come. Before I could walk my natural mother took us (myself, and my two brothers) and dropped us off in an orphanage. My father found us... but did not have the finances to take care of us. We all three children became a ward of the State of California, and placed in government foster homes,from a young  infant  until 7 yrs. old. From  8 yrs. old until I was 13 I was back home with My Father,& Mother (wonderful step-mother) but things did not work out for me . From the time I felt abandoned from my parents, that feeling stayed for a very long time, until I found Jesus Christ.  I found myself  back in foster homes from age 13-18 yrs. old.  I started very young experimenting with drugs, as early as age 12. I was in many juvenile deliquency centers.    At age 14 I had run away from my foster home and hitchhiked over 300 miles away from.  Most of my teen-age years I spent getting high on drugs.My mind was confused, and my heart was broken, as was my life.I didn't care what happened to me...I was very confused, and felt like no one really loved or cared about  me. It seemed as tho I was on a roller coaster ride of pain and hurt, not knowing how to get off.   This one night we were all partying and getting high, and I became paranoid. I felt I had to get out of the house I was currenly staying in. I ran down the stairs and outside into the night, running down a dark alley . Suddenly I ran in front of this busy 4-way  intersection of town . I stood in the middle of this  intersection and lifted my hands high in the air to stop this white pick up truck that was headed straight toward me.  This white  truck screeched on its brakes, and came to a stop!  I ran around,  to the passenger side and opened the  door, and got in! This  stranger, ended up taking me  to a cafe, bought me some apple pie and  coffee. He was the kindest man I had ever met in my life. He talked to me all night long, til in the morning.I lied to him and told him I was over 18 yrs. old. I thanked him, then went my way.  13  years later that particular event was an event that would be used to  turn my  sinful  life around. On the morning of  Jan.31,1982 (the day of my natural birthday)  my little daughter asked if I would go to church with her. I said No! Please mama... she begged. I finally  said, "Alright I will go". I was mad!I did not really want to go there, but I gave in anyhow. It was a beautiful Day that morning.Having never attended church before,never prayed, or ever read a bible,  I called my sister-in-law to ask her what did they do in church?? She said, "Well we have sunday school first, then church". I asked,"What is the difference?She said," Well I don't know". She asked me"Are you coming with us"? I replied" Yes I am". So she came and picked us up.... We got out of the car and proceeded up the stairs of this little country Methodist church. As  I walked  through the doors, and into the sanctuary  I quickly  put my head down, as I made my way to the pew.  I felt so ashamed,AND So guilty of my lifestyle of sin. I knew that I was a sinner.Thoughts were racing through my mind. I need to get out of here! I am not church material! I am not like these people! I need to run out of here!From foster homes, to  juvenile deliquency,to drugs, to being a  night club singer, I certainly did not belong in this church. As the wrestling went on , my heart agreed that I was tired of running.Tired of my life. I began to reliquish control.  Suddenly God's voice  spoke to me and said, "I Love You"! I could not believe I was hearing such a thing. Again.. God  said, "I Love You"! I still hung my head, and was saying within my heart, He must have me mixed up with someone else. I knew it was God speaking to me. And how I knew that, I cannot answer. This is my first time....hello first time.... I was repeating this over and over again in my heart to God.  I have never been to church!  I have never prayed to You, or ever read Your bible. "I Love You", God said it again... He never altered His tone. I was communicating in my heart to God. How?? I do not know how.   Surely you must not know where I have been, I said,  and what I have done in my life. And if I tell You, You will tell me to leave! In my heart I really wanted to believe that God loved me, but was very skeptical. I also did not know He knew everything about me. I believed that  the only way God would  know  what I had done was if I decided to tell Him. So right then and there, I wanted to find out if He really did love me. So I was going to tell God the awful sinful things I had done. On a scale from 1-10. I started low. about a 6. Low and behold, it was as tho I had not told Him anything about my past... God spoke again in the  same tone  and said to me "I Love You". Ok.... I am going for broke I said. I am going to tell You the worst thing  I had ever  done. Let me see if You are still going to say You love me. I told Him... what I had done... and again. He replied, "I Love YOU'.  God would not even discuss my worst sin! Then suddenly to my left a devil appeared and spoke to me and said, "You will not be able to go back into the clubs again, you will not be able to sing  again". I listened to him and began to ponder it ... for just a moment... Then God spoke again ... and asked.. "Do you remember this". It was as tho you pulled a movie screen down in front of my eyes and I saw the whole event  that happened to me when I was 14 yrs. old and had run away from home. Now on that day the Lord asked me, "Who was that man?". that took you to a cafe, and talked to you all night long?? I replied, He told me he was a run-away counselor. God said," I put him there".  You felt all alone, you felt that  no one ever loved you. It was my hand that watched over you, protected you when you were afraid."I Love You". I KNEW RIGHT THEN THAT  GOD  REALLY LOVED ME.To watch over me with His Mercy &  love, I knew I should be dead today, if it were not for His Love.  MY HEART WAS MELTING LIKE WAX TO A FLAME. I STARTED CRYING UNCONROLLABLY.... I  became mad at the devil and his evil presence... I began to say to the devil... YOU HAVE LIED TO ME ABOUT GOD... YOU HAVE KEPT ME FROM KNOWING HIM ALL THIS TIME... GOD HAS LOVED ME....God spoke to me again in a very  matter of fact way  and said, "I am not calling you anymore".I KNEW IN MY HEART I WANTED GOD MORE THAN MY VERY OWN LIFE... so without an altar call,   I got up from my pew, and suddenly ran down to the altar and fell on my knees .... crying uncontrollably unto God... and saying over and over again.. I am so sorry, I am so sorry. I love you God!! That Day I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ...  It was according to John 3;3, I became born-again by the Spirit of God...I turned away from my old life,  turned to God with all my heart, and never returned back to the clubs, drinking, or smoking.I now only wanted to get to know God.  From that day the Holy Spirit took me away for days,weeks, and months, and spoke to me about Himself through the scriptures in His bible.He was teaching me over and over again. I went back to the Methodist Church that night  and requested a bible, and the next Sunday I was asked if I wanted to join the church.I did not know about Church procedures... I just knew I was in Love with Jesus!!!I asked God the day (Jan.31st,1982) I felt His Divine presence enter inside of me... "God what did You do to me?? All I want to do is be with You. Please show me according to Your word. God took me to the book of Romans, and God told me I died the day I ran to Him, because of my surrender unto Him, and that His resurrection life came inside  my mortal body.Three Days later after I was born again, I had a vision, I saw Jesus in the grave, then I saw myself in the grave. I saw Jesus arise from the grave, then I saw myself arise, I saw Jesus  resurrected into heaven, I saw myself arise from the grave, and walking in the earth.  God again came to  me ... and said  He wanted me to be water baptized, to ask My pastor to water baptize me.. so within 7 days of my conversion I obeyed and was water baptized at my church. I was so hungry for God's Word, it seemed I could not get enough, some days all I could do was read, and read, and ponder on what I had read.For days I had read the book of Acts, and asked God to please give me what He gave to the disciples. In Acts 2;4 it reads,  and they were ALL filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in unknown tongues!I kept asking God to fill me. So one day as I was washing dishes in my kitchen sink,I asked God "When can I be filled?"He said,"NOW!"  I took my hands out of the water, dried them on the towel, then raised my hands unto God.He came upon me and filled me , I began to speak in unknown tongues, I went to my knees, weeping and thanking God for filling me,  My heart was ON FIRE!.. I became a witness of Christ to everyone , and everywhere I went... this burning passion for Christ and His love for His people has consumed my heart!
It has continued for the past 30 years.
God's call upon my life has led me into all the world ... I began preaching everywhere!
GOD WANTS NO ONE TO PERISH... BUT ALL TO RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE  ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD
I CANNOT BUT DECLARE JESUS' MIGHTY  NAME , and SHARE THE LOVE OF CHRIST
THROUGH OUT OUR HURTING WORLD!
JESUS REMAINS THE SAME
LOVING,COMPASSIONATE,MERCIFUL,FULL OF JUSTICE AND TRUTH
OUR CHIEF SHEPHERD IS  SEEKING TO SAVE THOSE WHO ARE LOST
SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD... BUT ONLY OUR REPENTANCE AND FAITH UPON OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST CAN SAVE US...
Come to Jesus, He is waiting on you!
OH HOW WONDERFUL IS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!!
