Php 2:27a “… BUT GOD HAD MERCY …”. God had His plan better calculated! At the very second that I was rising from the pew, Bro. Garner seemed to scream out, “If you (and of course it seemed that he was still pointing right at me) think that I spoke to someone here or anywhere about your condition, that is the devil lying to you. I make it a policy never, I said NEVER, talk about anyone’s condition. , I let the Holy Spirit lead me and tell to me what I need to say!” At that moment my life went to pieces. I figured this guy was either the biggest and best liar in the world or, he could be telling the truth. I thought to myself, “Is this guy really telling the truth?” All I know is that he neutralized me completely; and he put my mind and heart on -0-. Have you ever bought a new car and the speedometer is almost on zero? Well, that is the way I was. Starting new!

I Had Never Read The Bible
|
|
Mt 22:29 “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God”. (KJV) As a Catholic I had never read the Bible! Also I had never prayed. And the fact is that everything he said was true. I know now that it was the Holy Spirit that revealed my condition to him. And I now understand that he was NOT talking directly to me. I now know that it was the Holy Spirit convicting me of how miserable I really was; and that truth was painful for me. Also, as a Catholic I had been the Chairman (President) of a Catholic Church and I had been the 13th Congressional District Chairman for the Republican Party. This all took place in Amarillo, TX. So you see I was FULL OF THE DEVIL’S DIET: PRIDE! That was the reason why I was having problems.
