Take it or leave it

My life from day one has not been easy. I was born sick almost lost my life a few times while still a child. My Mom recounts One time after being in the hospital at four months old on our way home There was a shootout, and one of the bullets passed between her and me as she carried me. My life was always tough. I used to get beat up in school I didn’t understand why. found a place to hide and after a while I decided to come out just to get beat down again I always wonder why my life was a challenge. I always felt like I did not belong, that everything was against me! When I made it to high school I saw a young man almost lose his life by a gang. I felt so much fear, I wanted to buy a gun to protect myself. I made up my mind that if it came to it, I will take a life. My heart was getting dark and fast I was tired of the in justice but during that time I spoke to my brother sly, I told him how my life was turning for the worse. He spoke to me about Jesus He told me, “You need Jesus, only He can change your life!” He was right that I needed Jesus. I felt, while He spoke to me deep inside of me Gods Spirit letting me understand what my brother was telling. I felt my mind open up to an understanding I did not have before. He invited me to go to church that night, on October twenty seventh, nineteen ninety five, and I did. The preacher was a woman from the Dominican Republic, She was preaching with a special Anointing, it was a Zealous message. The church was packed not a single seat available. I was sitting behind one of the pillars of the church, when she stop speaking, she tilted her head as if someone was whispering something in her ear. She then began to say, “The Lord is telling me that there is a young man here that He is giving him the last opportunity to serve Him, take it or leave it!” When I heard her say these words I knew it was me. She then said, “ I want every believer that is here to rise up” everyone got up then I saw her tilt a little to the right side. She notices me sitting down, she points at me and says, “Young man, you’re the person God is speaking about, take it or leave it!” (2x echo take it or leave it) At that moment I ran to the altar and my life forever changed. Life has still been challenging with many different battles and at times I feel like I’m going to fail, but God always meets me where I’m at. He gives me Victory. He gives me the Power to Overcome. I’m no longer alone, life now makes sense, Now that I have Christ on my side. I now understand that the enemy wanted to eliminate me before my time. He wanted to eliminate me before I came to Christ, and now I know that I am a threat to the enemies camp! I am a weapon in the hands of the Almighty. I am an Overcomer. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! l now have purpose, and my purpose is Jesus Christ. I live to fulfill His Plans The Kingdom Agenda while I have breath I will fulfilled the purposes of God! To God be the Glory forever!
