This will take some time for I am not sure how this thaugh will develope out for i have never tried to teach on it. For several years now I have asked God to shew me how to share with others what He has been teaching me. I was kicked out of school in the 8th grade for gang related instences and at the time I could bearly read , Christ has taught me to read threw the Bible , I learned typing typing up scripture , and my thoughts and not from use of a computer on the net and community works have become fairlly good a the key board. but lack of formal education I spell byt the sound of the word so you will have to excuse my spelling .

I feel in order to fully understand my wrighting way you have to see a little of me .I never and mean never knew Christ before the age of 25. I grew up believing in satan and all that goes along with it. At 18 after being discharged from the service for taking 2 lifes with a duce and a half on a road in an acident while on acid , being sent to jail for operating a house of prostatution off post , and haron use . I went to prison for shooting a women and armed robery.While in prison I was in a fight where a guard lost his life. I spent 3 years in solitary confinement , I excaped and was sent back to prison and placed back in confinement. Wile in solitar I finally excepted a Bible ( not to read) I layed the pages of the bible on the steel bunk in the whole because there was no matress and I had no clothes on . I had been on bread and water for over 60 day during this last time so I would eat the pages of the Bible. One day I read in psalms davids prayer in ps 51 . Have mercy on me O God , wash me from mine iniquities and cleans me from my sins , creat in me a clean heart O God , renew a right spirit within me. ect.

God took my spirit guide out of me at this time , and I found myself crying like a baby the first time I ever remember crying. A week later I was reading in the Book of acts and came accroseed the 2:28, and 39 repent and be baptised and recieve the Holy Ghost , and this promiss is unto you to your children and to all that is afar off even as many as our Lord shall call. ( i didnt know nothing about the Holy Ghost of speaking in toungues ) I aske God if this ment me could I have this Holy Ghost and in that minit He filled me wiht thee Holy Ghost and I began speaking fluentlly in a language I have never learned. And I danced and jumped all over that cell.

will continue later this will take time developing for I feel I have something to share on building a true foundation . Errol

I deleted my message Glad_2_b_Alive. I have read all of what you have written here. I have been in the Book of Acts today and Hebrews. I found in Hebrews 4 - 6....it is just impossible to please God without "faith".

John 10:14, "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine."

Glad_2_b_Alive, "all" of us have at one time been a "ram" like Adam, who were not "sheep following our GOOD SHEPHERD", in some form or another.

Romans Chapter 3 v 23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

St Matthew 9 verse 9,

"Follow Me"

St Mark 1 v 17,

"Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."

St Mark 2 v 14,

"Follow me"

You might notice that every time Jesus speaks He asks you to do something...come after me, follow me, stretch forth thine hand, come out of the man, go home to thy family and friends and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee...(St Matthew 5 v 19)

My point is, we will never be in retirement...we will walk the walk of faith until we see the Face of our Lord Jesus Christ and bow down at His Feet.

As Paul wrote in Romans Chapter 1 v 9:

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing, I make mention of you always in my prayers...

v16,

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth...

I Corinthians Chapter 4 v 20,

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power....

I Corinthians Chapter 2 v 5,

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Everything that any of us will ever feel, see, be sick from, whatever...Jesus bore on the cross and I do believe He spent 3 days in Hell with a broken sick body from all the diseases and sins that He bore for our salvation....but,,,

the "power of God" is what raised Jesus from the dead, and it was the "faith" Jesus had while on this earth and down in hell...Jesus was down there preaching for 3 days the "power of the kingdom of God"....this is what raised Jesus from the dead. His Father saw Him in hell as He saw Him on the earth...Jesus the same today as He was yesterday....that is what faith is....I believe Jesus did the will of His Father both on earth and in hell.....He is now is Heaven sitting down!!! Praise God....!!!! That is what works yesterday, today and tomorrow.....I believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, that He was crucified, dead and buried for 3 days in hell, and the power of God raised Him from the dead....pure Gospel!

Follow me....love, Jesus.....

Love,

"Spiritwalker"

Dear great-to-be-alive-----AMEN.

I am really enjoying reading your great testimony. I really look forward to hearing more of this. It is so wonderful to hear of someone like you, who, without having been taught previous doctrine on how to receive the Holy Ghost, find it in the Word and receive it exactly as the Word shows it. This is solid proof to any honest hearted person that Jesus still fills the same way He did at Pentecost.

I am so thankful for this great testimony. No one 'helped' you receive it. No one 'helped me' receive; and we received it exactly as Peter did. Praise our Holy God.

I had been taught against it all my live. I did not believe in speaking in tongues; knew nothing about the Baptism of the Holy Ghost; but God so gloriously filled me that words cannot describe it. I was so filled with LOVE that I was a total new person. I preached a long time in tongues; not really knowing that it was me. I only heard it. I tried to make the words come out in English; but I could not do it. So not one living soul could every convince me that it was not God doing this through me.

I heard testimony last night from a woman who mocked me for years; hated me for my long hair and long dresses. She told me herself one time that when she first met me, she told others that one would have to be crazy to wear dresses and long hair.

She despised me and would not speak civil to me. She is a member of me x-husbands family. She was a very heavy smoker and would blow smoke at me for she knew I could not tolorate it.

Now she has cancer. She told me last night that about eight years ago, she repented of her pants and shorts; gave them up. Then gave up her smoking. Then two weeks later, she received the Holy Ghost with two hours of dancing in the spirit and speaking in tongues. Now this same lady who hated me for this is a living example of how God can turn a life around and bring her to glory. She sat there with her long dress on. But, the doctor had convinced her to cut her long hair, to prepare her for the lose of it after her chemotherpy. She told me she reqretted this with all her heart; for her spirit is grieved; for she knows in her spirit that she lost her glory.

She said she went back to cursing again after she cut her hair. She once did this real bad; but had quit it for eight years. Then she became sucidial and plotted a murder and her own death. She lays all of this to cutting off her hair. I did not say these things: she told it to me. This was the first time I had seen her or spoken to her in about 10 years.

But, she is getting her faith back. she told me she had not done one thing against Holiness until she cut her hair. She said, I am living proof that a woman's glory is in the long hair; for I lost mine when I cut my hair off listening to wordly councel instead of Godly councel.

People, this is her testimony; not my saying. It pays to obey the Word of God. Too many women are walking in open defiance to the living God and His Word; yet thinking they are all right with him. Just two days ago, I spoke on this subject on another board. the manager, a woman, told me to leave and take my 'destruction' elsewhere.

People, God is not mocked; you will reap what you sow.

Spiritwalker, I really enjoyed your message here also. You are really becoming a great teacher of the Word. God bless you much.

Love to all,

my friend Joie,

If she hasent already tell your friend to talk with her Loving Lord Jesus and tell Him she has made a mistake and taken the rong advise and she is sorry and then get right up and go on, her glory is restored automatically.

Faith teaches Christ puts ALL our rongs and sins under the Blood and into the sea of forgetfullness NEVER TO BE BROUGHT UP AGAIN, Jesus said it I believe it.Christs Blood will cover her head if need be until it grows back out. Later I will relate a story of a simular situation and the sister chose not to cut her hair but this isnt the time or place. This Good sister needs encouraging , if she has asked Christ to forgive her its over.and that is it.If you would send me her full name via e mail please to add to my prayer list and the prayer group I belong to Wourld Network of Prayer, and our prayer worriors here at home.

thank you for your kind post Errol

Dear Errol,

Thank you for your concern for this person. I will look for your e-mail address and send you her name.

I thought as she and I sat and talked together; for we had never really had good conversation before for she had always resented me since I first met her; as all my husbands people did. She despised the Christain life which I lived. She sneered at me each time we met because of my 'different' way of life.

Yet through unusual circumstances, God placed me right back for the first time in years, at my husbands home where she was temporarily staying. God moved on me to go sit with her and start a conversation. I did not expect what came of it. She sat for a long time telling me of her repentance of the very things she had despised me for = her pants, shorts, cigerattes, her cursing etc.

Then how she was gloriously filled with the Holy Ghost. I rejoiced with her in the spirit. But then, she came down with cancer. She spent three days and nights alone in her bedroom praying and seeking God. Then she found peace about this matter. She said she had never had any knowledge of faith until this came into her life.

But then, the doctors set in on her to cut off her hair. She had let it grow long; I did not get to see her with her long hair; for this is the first time I had seen her in years. We had a long conversation about the Scriptures and God.

After cutting her hair, she lost her faith; went back to cursing; even plotted to kill a person and then herself. But she began to seek God and He delivered her from this hatred.

But now the doctors are trying to get her to finish cutting off her hair; for it will all fall out after her chemo. She had intended to do this until we talked. I told her not to do it; to just trust in Jesus and he could heal her without that chemo. Her faith began to rise as we talked. She stated to me before I left that she would not finish cutting off her hair. I believe Jesus placed me there for that purpose; to encourage her in the right direction.

Thank you for your concern; she needs much prayer; for Satan is trying to tear her down through this experinece with cancer and cutting off her long hair.

God bless and use you mightly for His great glory.

Your friend, Jo
