Streetlife it's the only life I know, "who would have thought I could ever let it go." Believe it or not I still love that life, I always did, and I think I always will... Although I don't remember being all that happy in the past, If I had the chance to relive my life, "I wouldn't change a thing!"
Your probably thinking, If I loved my life the way it was, then why did I change it??? The truth is, "I never planned on changing my life; But my life decided to change on me!"
I confess to being a heavy beer drinker (alcoholic) and a drug user. Like I said before "I loved it, and I still do". But something happened to me that changed my life forever!!!
Most people won't understand my story, but I do. I've been told I was having drug induced haullucinations. You see I used the same drug for close to 12 yrs. and never seen as much as a blurr or a shadow. Why now? Why did I see scary demonic things that caused me to tremble in fear, and let me emphasize the word "tremble in fear"... The scary thing about it was I stopped using drugs and the constant appearance of demons never left, I was overwelmed with it.
All I know is, the devil came in like a flood, and my mom couldn't help me, my dad couldn't help me, "but deep in my gut I knew, If I could just get the Lord to hear me, by any means necessary, I would make it through... I cried out to God, Out loud, I didn't care who heard me or what they thought of me, I just repented begged for a hedge of protection and for peace of mind. It wasn't easy, Believe me" I was tormented non stop, day and night, by demons, it didn't matter where I went I seen them attacking me.
I can honestly say that the torment I endured was too much for me to handle, if it would have lasted a little bit longer I think I would be living in a mental institution or worse...
So you see, "I had no choice, but to humble myself to the Lord, and turn my back on my sinful lifestyle that I was use to." Then and only then, did I find spiritual freedom!" I can honestly say, for the first time in my life, I was a dedicated born again christian dead to sin, and I was proud of my new found salvation.
Talking about what changed me should be embarrasing for me because I use to be a Tuff Guy, who wasn't affraid of anyone!" That was the old me, Being Chingon` (tuff) on the streets doesn't mean anything when your fighting something "spiritual"
