I was born to die. Diagnosed with cancer in my right eye. Even if the surgery was successful I could've ended up blind or a vegetable. 1st miracle: I'm fully functional with over 20-20!

In my earlier years I witnessed my father in all his ugliness. Beating on my mom, abusing me, using me as bait to cheat on my mom, kidnapping me once, etc. After all he's the the one who got her addicted to crack. Neither one were really a great parent anyways. My mom was on other drugs before him and eventually, my mom filed for a divorce because I said I'd rather live with my grandparents. Of course, I was in foster care for a bit first until my grandparents came and got me. 2nd miracle: Being raised by my grandparents instead of my parents!

Bullied throughout elementary, a ghost in middle school, but a social butterfly in high school, I experimented with pot and started to smoke, eventually cigarrettes as well. It's also where I learned to rap! I went through a lot and eventually decided to start taking God seriously. 3rd Miracle: The decision that changed everthing!

I eventually met someone who went through something especially strange. He also smoked and stole, etc. He ran into some devil worshipping gangbangers, who tempted him with beers and such. He refused and they gave him one of those deals you can't refuse. To find a job within 2 weeks or they'd kill him. Because they worshipped the devil they could read minds and whenever my friend thought he wasn't going to get the job one of them would drive by and honk, knowing what he was thinking. They watched him. I tried introducing him to God but he told me what most say: yeah I love God, with an already dissengaged look. One day he went to church though. He got bored of listening to the preacher talk and was in a bad mood so he left the room. Then some guy came up to him and told him that he believes my friend had a gift and could reach millions of people, among other things. And for everthing he said my friend would laugh in his face. Later that night he woke up suffacating, like something heavy was on top of him. He cried out saying, God! I don't know if this is a demon or whatever but can you please get it off me! And God listened. He changed a lot after that and started bringing his bible to school. I did too so as to encourage the change and grow myself by spending more time with God. We had bible study sessions together and long conversations about spirtuality. The two weeks were finally up. We didn't realize it at first, but from the time he picked up the bible he hadn't heard from the gangsters. 4th Miracle: God saved my friend from certain death! From that day on I decided to become a soldier for God!

I used to hate the world, along with several people, do drugs, get into trouble, etc. But starting to grow spiritually I experienced many blessings within a short time span of a few months. New friends, new music, new books, new experiences, new feelings, and my first love. With her I fell in love with and she was the reason I quit smoking. She cured many deep wounds and showed me the true limitless extent of love's awsome power. I learned a lot about God through love for obvious reasons. God is love! I began a life changing process where I lived off knowledge, and wisdom, and love. Reading the bible, among several other books. Finding interviews with spiritual leaders who are virtually unknown but highly knowledgable of the goings on of the world, their connection to God and spiritual things, anthropology, and comparative religion. Documentaries on things ranging from archeology, anthropology, history, astronomy, spirituality, conspiracy, etc. And articles about bibliology, conspiracy, spirituality, peace, etc. I've had conversations with ministers where we both taught each other. God's even spoke through me once allowing me to say things I've never said or thought before as if I'd dedicated my life to studying them. He taught me and the other person who was present in this way. I deleloped an adept ability to control my emotions. My skills in rapping grew immensely and so did my message and desire to learn to sing and play the piano. Of the things I've done as a Christian there was saving people from suicide, bringing out a murderers conscience, changing lifes and bringing people to God, teaching people and I'm sure, I've inspired many. I forgiven everybody as well and now I have absolute faith in God. 5th miracle: God transformed my life!

Brother faith00,I thank you for showing us that the Lord does not move in words only but also in great power!!( 1 cor 4:20) Before Jesus we are a one page book,we can never turn the page in our life,because there is no other page to turn in our book.Jesus turns pages!Because Jesus writes them for us! His purpose is for us to not only understand what his love means for our lives,but for others as well,as you can surely testify to! I am thankful to Jesus for your life,and for the many lives Jesus in you can touch others with as well! Blessing bro.

Thank you. But I just found out. It wasn't cancer but chlamydia. My dad gave it to my mom when she was pregnant with me. Just wanted to clear that up! I appreciate all of your posts.
