How Do I Know God Is Alive
This is my testimony to The Living God & his son Jesus Christ. First let me say, God does Not force anyone to believe in him. Woe to those that try to force his will on others. God gives each of us choice to believe or not to believe, just as he gave Adam & Eve choice to eat of the fruit of Knowledge of Good & Evil.
Throughout history man (man = human-mankind) has debated the existence of The One True Living God. I hope to satisfy a few of those questions with this testament. From the moment Adam & Eve ate of the fruit in the garden man has known the difference between good & evil, right from wrong. Some choose not to believe & do wickedness on spite to hurt or harm others in spirit or body. That lil voice in our spirit leads us to know.
Throughout history every war ever fought the winner in the end were the ones that was on the side of God. For God & Country. The side that were fighting for a king or ruler or idea lost ultimately. Go look, I did. Everytime a civilization worshiped a ruler or multiple gods they were overthrown & destroyed.
All around the globe we find ancient writing that speak of a Great Flood. Giant cities abandoned & our modern science says we aren’t able to build or even move one corner stone with our modern technology yet our ancestors did. The Bible explains most of it, but we choose not to believe the Bible because some say it’s myth & no way it could be as written. Yet the evidence is there as written.
I have died twice this lifetime so far with doctors as witnesses & another time no one was there but God, me & my lil bike. The first time i was 17 & i was on the other side of the fence. I knew it was wrong, but i was convinced that the devil could give me powers & abilities that God wouldn’t give me. I could do anything I wanted without consequence. No one would be able to stop me from gaining riches & power. I believed that wicked voice until God himself awakened me. I was doing all sorts of hard drugs & stole a car. In Sept 1987 I stole a 1988 Eldorado Cadillac & tried to outrun the cops. They pit maneuvered me twice causing me to spin out on the 2nd time. I kicked the window out & tried to run. Little did I know, that action of running caused the drugs in my system to hit harder causing me to become overdosed. I died on the ER table that night. They revived me & i was in the hospital 3 days & sent to jail were i was out for 3 days (all accounted for in the county jail records). the night of the 3rd mornin I had a vision. Some say it was an angel, others say it was the spirit of God. I know it was Jesus himself. He was pure light & He spoke to me, not thru my ears but inside my being & told me to read the Bible. I refused at first saying why do i need to read it, it was written by man & therefore fake. He kept repeating it & the 3rd time, I said “ok, ok, I Will read the Bible.” ; I woke up that next mornin at lunch & there was a little pocket Bible on the bars down stairs. I asked who it belonged to & no one knew. I called my grandmother & told her what happened. Her & her preacher came to see me & brought me a big Bible i could read (i lost my eyeglasses during the wreck. Long story short.. I read it, The judge gave me three 5 year sentences boxcared (meaning i was to do each as a 5 yr, complete 1st 5 yr before i could do the next) for a total of 15 years with no parole. I pulled a year in jail on the first five, I did a year in prison on the second five, but 3 days after I finished reading the Bible cover to cover & 3 years early I was given parole & pulled a year on parole for my third five year sentence. One of God’s favorite numbers is three for the trinity.
In my mid twenties, I was married & living a good life, but i rebelled & turned away from what was right. I fled the cops again this time to another state & outsmarted them at the time. I tricked everyone into thinking i was in one state but was instead in a different state. I had turned away from God & was once again convinced the devil could give me riches. One night I was driving down a mountain hungover & semi drunk in a 1976 Oldsmobile Toronado. I hit some blackice & went sideways through the guardrail & landed upside down on the roof in a ravine. I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt & I always wore one, but that time i wasn’t thank God. When the car landed i was in the passenger seat looking at a broken stump sticking through the metal roof where my head was supposed to be. The only scratch i got was climbing back up to the road (I scratched my knee). I still have the scar from it & a pebble still in it on my kneecap. I returned to The Lord that day & although I still didn’t live right, I did right by others & followed the 10 commandments & the Golden Rule Jesus gave us. I haven’t fallen back since, I don’t think he would give me another chance.
Another time in my early thirties I was riding my lil Bike one mornin going to see probation officer & hit some black ice & wrecked. I’m not sure if I was dead that time or just knocked out, I awakened with catching my breath, my helmet was in 3 pieces on the pavement. I only remember hearing a voice inside me telling me I’d be ok. I awakened there by myself. Then just a few years ago; December 27th 2021 at 4:30am I had a massive heart attack. I heard that voice again when i was laying on the ground cold at the end of my driveway. I had arm pain for over a week. I thought it was my stroke arm acting up again (I suffered a stroke back in 2007). A friend online told me to call ambulance if it got worse & it did. I called & tried to make it outside before they got here. I collapsed at the end of my driveway. I whispered the name Jesus & he was there. I kept hearing the voice again telling me to keep moving my arm & to clinch & unclench my hand & fist. I did as the voice told me & doctors say that might of been what kept me from going full cardiac arrest. I made it to the ER & they hooked me up to the monitors. Last thing i remember was looking through the glass & my eyes met with a young nurse’s eyes and she had a weird expression on her face. I heard the beep turn solid but it didn’t dawn on me that it was my monitor. All i remembered after our eyes met was total darkness like space but no stars or sound, I saw a bright light in the center, but just as i was thinking to take a step forward, I saw that figure of Light again. The same one i saw the night in my locked jail cell. He crossed his arms & i knew it wasn’t time yet. I awakened with her hand on my shoulder telling me to relax & lay still. Her words were”lay still we just brought you back”. I asked “brought me back?” she stated, “we lost you for a minute”. she said, “we had to defib you twice to bring you back”.
He saved me again, why? I’m just a sinner like everyone else. This is my testimony & there are other times he has saved me, but those are for another time. Since this last death, I can hear these politicians speak & can hear their lies in their silvery talk. That is how i know which ones are true & which are wicked. I DO have the authority as a child of God to rebuke them & their lies & know this, I WILL. Death cannot hold me until The Lord says it is so & i’m not scared of it. When my turn comes I’ll embrace it & go to the light I saw. For now though, I’m here on earth with yall. Jesus said “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Matthew 17:20-King James Version
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. REV 12:11 You definitely know there’s a God up in the heavens. May God richly use you in these final days for His glory.
he has shown me beyond any doubt – i know the ONLY reason I’m still here is his Amazing Grace
