      Thanks for that comment. . . My son Sam whom this phone used to belong to - was murdered during a season of great hardship in our family. Now my heart seeks out & searches for these confirmations that Gods mercy triumphs over judgement. I keep praying for God to confirm that Sam is alive in heaven with Him. He was a kind gentle soul towards all. Torment and condemnation had plagued him. He had always wanted a dad / wanted to be accepted & loved. So he thought God rejected or disqualified him too. But he still proclaimed his love for Jesus Christ. I am devastated that i cannot see him anymore and hear him singing praise to the Lord. I never thought that could happen to him. I always believed that God would heal Sam and he would be forever delivered from the doubt and fear. I thought Sam would get filled with the Holy Spirit & get the victory in Christ. But im remembering & realizing how our WORDS that we speak can give the enemy something to work with... im so sad that i didnt keep on speaking into his life what the Bible says. I keep repenting as i remember things i did wrong. I miss my son so much. The loss seems unbearable at times.

      Romans 5:12-21
      King James Version
      12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
      13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
      14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
      15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
      16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
      17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
      18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
      19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
      20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
      21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

I've been praying for him and his wife and daughter to come back to Christ. Last night I prayed for God to show me a testimony of someone who left the church and returned!!! 😭 Thank you Delafe and Mr. Garcia for being obedient to God's call...you never know when you will be an answer to prayer❤🎉

    I have an amazing story. One day I was driving home and I felt the presence of the Lord, come down to me from above. It was as real as anything and I felt so comfortable with Him.
    I knew if I asked Him to play a song on the radio, He would.
    So I said "Ok Lord, play Come as you are..."
    I didn't know what station it was on or anything, but I turned the radio on and the song started playing right on the spot, perfectly...
    I started getting flooded with chills inside, trembling, and crying tears of joy. When I got home, He stayed with me for 10 minutes till I got out of the car.
    I've been getting amazing prayers answered for around 6 years since, because that experience made me stop doubting when I pray, and I follow Biblical instructions, best I can.

      Always remember no one can pluck you out of the hand of the Lord. Once the lord starts something, it will be finished. Be patient. Seek the Lord. Read your Bible. If you read your Bible, I have a feeling your conscience will return.

I was doing things my way. But 3 years later I'm home now serving at my church and teaching my children about God. I'm beyond grateful to my Lord and savior to have given me a 2nd chance at life. I will not take it for granted. Listen people! When something is nudging at you. It is not a coincidence.

Lately I have been praying a little less and reading the word even more less. Consciously I knew but was ignoring what I knew better of. You were the messenger God sent for me to get back on track and not go too far. Thank you. You are doing God's work well my brother. You may never know how far His reach is through you, but know it's far enough and will go farther. Thank you for your obedience to our Father God.

    Awesome testimony!! My dad was a life long member of the Bandidos MC, as a matter of fact he was at one point the President over the whole organization until he went to prison. When I got saved in 2015 I had a strong burden for my dad to know Jesus bc growing up he had always been somewhat of an “atheist”. God had already humbled him thru prison, cancer, and a lung transplant. Long story short after praying for him several years and sharing my faith with him on occasions, he finally accepted Jesus 2 days before he passed away at the beginning of 2020 and the Lord allowed me to be the vessel He used to lead him. The whole scenario reminded me so much of the prodigal son and the penitent thief on the cross next to Jesus! 🙌🙌 God is soooo good!!!
