I believe in truth, I believe in JESUS, and thats the only reason I’m alive today.
For it was JESUS who saved me, and it was JESUS who changed me, because I made a choice to seek after truth with my whole heart, mind, and soul, then JESUS revealed himself to me.
I did not save myself, and I did not change myself, for I could not change without the knowledge of truth, I could not change without JESUS.
The penitentiary did not change me, a murder case did not change me, being shot and almost dying from a gun shot wound did not change me.
But life worked in my favor, whether it was good or bad, for if it had not been for the trials, tribulations, and sufferings I suffered in life, then I might not have known GOD though the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST for myself.
Religion did not do anything for me, the institutions called church did not do anything for me, and neither did the traditions of men do anything for me, because neither true change or salvation takes place within religion, the institutions called church or the traditions of men, for true change and true salvation can only be obtained in CHRIST JESUS.
So again I say, I believe in truth, I believe in JESUS, and thats the only reason I’m alive today.
For I remember who I was before JESUS changed me, I remember who I was before I was being saved, for I’m still being changed everyday, and I’m still being saved everyday, I have not arrived to the state of perfection yet……
But I remember my life before truth, I remember me life before JESUS.
For I remember I was a drug dealer, a gangster disciple, a four time felon, a whore monger, a man who been to the penitentiary three different times in my life, a man who been to jail for murder, and a career criminal.
I remember who I was before I had knowledge of the truth, before I had the revelation knowledge of GOD in CHRIST JESUS.
Now people want to know why I write like I write, why I teach like I teach, why I preach the way I preach, and why I’m the way I am?
I’m the way I am, because this is my life, and If I wasn’t being or doing the truth I know to be truth, then I wouldn’t be nothing at all.
For I would still be the old Reese, the old drug dealer, the career criminal, the gangster disciple, the four time felon, the whore monger, I probably would be in the penitentiary for the rest of my life, and would I probably be in jail for murder right now.
And you would see no change or any hope fore salvation in me, without truth, without JESUS…..
(Jeremiah 15:10-21) Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet does every one of them curse me. The Lord said, Verily it shall be well with your remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat you well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? Your substance and your treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders. And I will make you to pass with your enemies into a land which you do not know of: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you. O Lord , you know: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke. Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by your name, O Lord GOD of hosts. I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers, nor did I rejoice with them; I sat alone because of your hand: for you hast filled me with indignation. Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? Therefore thus says the Lord, If you return unto me, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before me: and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shalt be as my mouthpiece: let them return unto you; but you do not return unto them. And I will make you unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the Lord. And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
(Micah 7:1-10) Woe is me! For I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. That they may do evil ernestly with both hands, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he utters his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up together. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of your watchmen and your visitation comes; now shall be their perplexity. Do not put your Trust in a friend, do not put your confidence in a guide: keep the doors of your mouth from her that lies in your bosom. For the son dishonours the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own household. Therefore I will look unto the Lord ; I will wait for the GOD of my salvation: my GOD will hear me. Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. I will bear the indignation of the Lord , because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord your GOD? My eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mud of the streets.
