I dont know if I put this testamony up here yet or not, but I feel compelled to share it. When I was young I was a incredible athlete, I won the decathalon 3 out of the 4 years in high school. I not only broke the ninth grade record I beat all thr juniors and seniors. The only year I didn't win it was because I was late for an event by 5 minutes. I was in incredible shape but I was a very dangerous person because I was raised very wrong, so needless to say I spent alot of time in jail and prison. No man or woman could ever break me, for thirty years I thought I was unbreakable. God broke me with ease. Thats why Psalms 51 is my favorite. Anyway October 09 I was in Milwaukee county Jail being shipped back to Washington State to face at least 3 years. I dragged myself to Bible Study to sit and listen. As I was sitting there a very large inmate came in the room where we were having Bible Study and I noticed that his fists were balled. The volunteer said come in and sit down we are about to start, the man said NO I prayed and Im back whats up with that? meaning he prayed but somehow hes back in jail. The volunteer who was a little old man said O.K. lets sit down and talk, The man said again NO I prayed and Im back whats up with that? as he was saying this he was slowly inching toward the volunteer. The little old man who was now starting to back up because the inmate was getting very close now, tried again. O.K. O.K. now lets be calm, NO the man yelled. . . I prayed and Im back whats up with that? The volunteer was now very frightened and starting to stutter. As the inmate was starting again another inmate stood up and headed himoff and said Easy my brother easy, Prayer is like a glass of water pure if you offer it up to him he'll take it, but if that prayer is tainted in any way, when he said that he made a spitting motion towards the imaginary glass of water, he wont accept it. It felt like someone hit me in the forehead, I have been praying the wrong way my entire life and for the wrong thing! I use to pray that my abusive step father woud die, I use to pray for a million dollars to help people, but that would have been for my glory not his. I said to God O.K. I'll take another step towards you. James 4:3 Ye ask, and recieve not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Amen
