Christian faith, Jesus and the Bible, testimonies

Delivered from Cocaine Addiction

Hello my name is Shayne Ethridge. I live in Hendersonville, TN. I am a forty year old christian man, but I wasn't always. I was baptised at the age of twelve. I had no idea what that meant. At the age of fifteen I began to try alcohol. Within a short while I was smoking pot. I was still attending church as a teenager, but that's all I was doing. By the age of twenty I was doing cocaine on a regular basis, all the while ignoring the tug at my heart. This would continue until the age of thirty-four.

I was married in June of 1991, and in June of 1993, my wife was gone, killed in a car crash on her way home from work. There I was, something I didn't want to be. At the age of thirtytwo, I was a widowed father. I didn't know where to turn. After I truly came to know my Savior, at times I would wonder, if only I could have met Him sooner, not realizing that I had.(at the age of twelve) I finally came to see, that I can't change what happened yesterday, but I can do all I can to better tomorrow.

In April of 1994, I was arrested with one-half ounce of cocaine. Febuary 1995 I was put in jail for what I had done.(for one year). For the first month I was there I blamed everyone except myself, until one day a man came to see me. He told me about a man, two thousand years ago, who gave His life, that I might have life. After he left, I opened the bible my mom sent to me. I was not looking for anything, I was just opening a book. When I opened it, it was at Psalm 51, I began to read, and before you know it, I was crying, and on my knees, not aware of my surroundings. I received something that day, SALVATION, and with that salvation came deliverance.

I was a five hundred dollar a day cocaine user, I was an alcoholic, I was dirty, I was a thief, I was partners with the devil, and God set me free. I am not any of those things anymore, I am not a recovering drug addict, I am not a recovering alcoholic, or anything else, I AM FREE. On April 5th, 1995, in a jail cell, the man that came to see me that day in March, baptised me, and I fully understood what I was doing, I was becoming a follower of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

in His service,

A Personal Challenge For You

The people of the world can be divided into two groups. The first group are those who can clearly point to the intervention of Jesus Christ in their lives. The second are those who cannot. If you are in this latter group PLEASE don't let another hour go past before you get right with God. He loves you and has a great plan for your life! But there must be change. If you are religious but can't point to a definite work of God in your life YOU NEED to get born again in the Bible way. To find out how to get right with God, click here now.

If however, you are in the first group and you have a testimony of Christ's working in your life, God wants you to share it. Read HERE about the power of your testimony. You can overcome Satan by the Word of your testimony, and help others to find faith in Christ.

Would you like to do this? If so, start writing your testimony as soon as you can, and THEN, e-mail your testimony to me here so we can publish it for you online. Post it on the testimonies bulletin board here. In this way you are helping to fulfil the Great Commission. Some testimonies on this site are reaching 10 or even 20 people per day. Our team wishes to help people share their testimonies through the internet. Let us together bring hope to those who don't know the reality of our wonderful Savior Jesus Christ.

Michael
