Welcome to Jesus Loves You Man

Jesus Loves You and So Do I!
So why does a man get up most days for over a decade, go hold a cross and tell people that Jesus Loves You and So Do I?
Well, I wasn't always so intent on spreading the gospel. It all started when I was 8 years old and I was sexually molested. I took on a spirit that put me on a bad path of anger and drug abuse. However, thankfully a seed of God was also planted in me at an early age by my junior high history teacher, Mr. Milton Little.
Even though planted, I still chose not to follow God for many years as I had to hit rock bottom which saw me do a lot of terrible things and end up homeless, sleeping in shelters, abandoned houses, and eventually under bridges. I stayed in this state for about 6-7 months before my wife let me move back in with her and my son. I wasn't back in the house a month, before the demons resurfaced and I called the crack dealer to bring me some more to the house. He delivered $100.00 worth of crack, then my miracle happened!
I was cutting up the crack on a yellow piece of paper. When I looked at the paper, I found it was a program from Bethany United Methodist Church. Guess who was the pastor? Milton Little!! He was only a mile away from my house. I sat there on the corner of that bed and I grabbed the remote control. The channel went from 206 straight to 372. There was a lady on TBN that said, "for the man at home that is smoking crack, you are about to have a heart attack." I tried to change the channel, but it would not change. I threw the remote control against the wall and reached for the crack pipe. When I did, my chest started hurting. Later a doctor told me that I had a small heart attack. If I had hit the pipe one more time, my heart would have exploded.
I heard Jesus say, "I am tired of you doing what you are doing. I have come to you so many times and you have heard nothing I said. So now come here and let me show you where you are going." I tried to run out of the house. Two angels came down and held me down. I felt my spirit and soul come out of my body. There I was floating above the ceiling looking down at myself. Jesus said, “Is that how you want to be remembered on this earth, for your wife and child to come home and find you dead?” The angels turned me to the right and showed me the lake of fire. The devil was sitting dead center, in black shadow form. I noticed his eyes more than anything. There were flames coming out of the lake of fire. There were souls reaching up, yelling “Help, Help, Help!” They were getting pulled back down in the fire. Jesus said, "Is that where you want to spend eternity?" I said, “No, Lord”. "Well, let me show you what I can do."
I then saw the beautiful golden gates of Heaven, God’s angels were flying around. There was Jesus in a white shadow form. He raised his arms and the light was so bright. I felt something for the first time, something I always wanted to feel, the love of Jesus. There are no words that can express what I felt, but I know that is what I wanted. I started falling from Heaven and I said, “No, Lord that is where I want to go."
The angels stopped between Heaven and Hell. They showed me Hell, then they showed me Heaven. Jesus said, “Now, what do you want to do?” I said “God, I want to live for you."
I fell back into my body, jumped up and threw the drugs away! God said, “I am choosing you." I asked God, “Why me?” He says, “Why not you? You are the best example of how I can step out of Heaven, touch your life and change you forever. When people look at you and remember who you were, they will know it was the grace and mercy of God that changed you." He told me to go to the ends of the earth and tell everybody what I saw, because I am an example of how powerful and merciful Jesus' grace is.
I did not do a day in rehab. I have been clean for over 10 years. Jesus said he could have stepped in before all this happened, but I would not know him like I know him now.
This experience has led me into the ministry. I can now talk to so many different types of people. He has truly given me the gifts of the spirit, all of them.
Jesus Loves You and So Do I!
