Someone told me they could not see this on my wall (the following story). So, I felt it important enough to post it again. Please be sure you click SEE MORE. Oh...it pertains to Dr. Stanleys sermon today...A MUST SEE! I was living in Springfield, Ohio. My family lived at 731 W. Pleasant Street. It has since been torn down and is now a fire house. I was in the 5th grade. The Holy Spirit started visiting me and tugging at me. I can very clearly tell there was a struggle for my soul. Good and evil. The spirit was telling me constantly to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. There was something evil, very evil that was telling me that I was a bad boy, an evil boy and that I had to get to some level of perfection and holiness like some people that were in my life, living Holy and they were without sin. So I lamented, I was sad, I struggled…I sinned…and I was scared. I WAS GOING TO HELL. Finally at that young age he...the Comforter, the Holy Spirit convinced me to trust Jesus. It was not a man, I was not in Church…the Holy Spirit came upon me. I had a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit! I got down on my knees, I prayed to Jesus. “Please Jesus”, come into my life, I am a sinner, save me…be my Lord and Savior. At that moment, a weight was lifted off of me…I cried, I cried and I was saved…and I felt safe. Safe in Jesus. Well, something happened after that which continued on through my High School years. I sinned! I sinned and I fell short. I thought…maybe I’m not saved. Then off to college I went and I sinned…Maybe I’m not saved. The summer before I transferred to a College in Washington, DC I was working in a very dirty, grimey factory in Yellow Springs, Ohio to get money to finish my education. Every day at lunch I would eat with these two elderly white men. They took me under their wing. They fed me and read the bible with me every evening. They asked me if I was saved. I told them no…sadly I did not think so. I was a sinner, I was not perfect. Something evil had convinced me that my Damascus road experience, my acceptance of Jesus had not been enough. They asked me if I would like to say the prayer and accept Jesus. I kept saying I couldn’t I was sinning, I was NOT perfect. They continued. Finally they convinced me that there was nothing I could do to make myself Holy enough. Not by works. The Holy spirit came upon me again in that factory, at lunch. I said the prayer with them, I cried again. I was comforted. I WAS SAVED! Well, I went off to school…to Washington DC. A young dumb cat…off to the big city. As I look back, I was scared, really scared. I had never been farther then Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, in terms of living “off the block” LOL!!! I WAS OFF TO THE BIG CITY, AND ALL IT HAD TO OFFER. And guess what? I SINNED! DC style...LOL!!! And eventually I thought…Maybe I am not saved…I Just could not live Holy…100% of the time without sin. And then I heard a sermon by Dr. Stanley, similar to the one I BEG you to listen to today. And then I knew…I WAS SAVED!!! I was saved the moment I accepted Jesus, JESUS!!! Jesus as my lord and savior back on Pleasant Street in Springfield, Ohio. Yes I have slipped, YES I still don’t get it right all the time…Well, most of the time but, I am saved! Here’s why Brothers and Sisters. Take time today to listen to this sermon and be free, saved by the blood…the blood which atoned for my sins…The Blood…of Jesus Christ. I am not perfect…HUMP, my critics are very quick to remind me...But, I can very quickly and manly look them in the eyes and tell them... I AM SAVED! I was saved by a perfect God! In love and Christ, Charles Prince Daniel 731 W. Pleasant Street Springfield, Ohio …aka Deacon Dan praying4you.org
