I know with absolute certainty that...
...the Almighty God has redeemed and forgiven me. He has called me out of spiritual darkness and has brought me to His marvelous light.
The Lord has also anointed me to share with others about His goodness and mercy, and to proclaim God's Word – that no one is beyond the reach of His love and forgiveness. I believe He also wants me to demonstrate, as much as possible, His love for everyone. Yes, even to my enemies and those who, for whatever reasons, hate me.
You see, the fact is, there are people who despise my very life. They continually curse me in their hearts and are forever looking for ways to hurt me and somehow destroy my Christian testimony.
Several years after I became a Christian, God revealed to me that there will be many people who will try, through their ignorance, prejudice and bias, to fight against me in every way possible. These people have worked very hard and have made many efforts to hinder my attempts at doing good to others and with making my amends to society.
Some of these "enemies" have been media people. A handful have been former police officers and other "law enforcement" personnel. None of these people know me today. None of them really knew me back then.
In addition, some have been total strangers. There were even a few former prisoners who sought to cash in on having done time with me in the past.
And then there are the myriads of satanists and practitioners of various occultic arts who have written hateful things about me. Obviously, they see me as a threat to their evil ways.
But my trust and confidence is in the Lord. "The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?" (Psalm 118:6).
