If the Son therefore shall make
you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John 8:36
I have now been in prison for 31 years...
you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John 8:36
I have now been in prison for 31 years...
However, I recall a time, several decades ago, when I thought there was no hope for me. I saw myself as having no purpose in life, no future, and no reason to live. I also believed that God had utterly rejected me. There was no forgiveness and no mercy, but I was so very wrong.
It would be approximately ten years into my prison sentence before I was to learn that Satan had been lying to me. I'd been deceived into thinking that because I once made a pact with the Devil, he would therefore have ownership of me, forever. I would be his possession, always.
During this dark period of my life, I was in a state of mental confusion as well as rebellion. I became very psychotic, and I saw myself as a soldier for Satan who had to serve his wishes at all costs. I was supposed to sacrifice young persons in order to satisfy Satan's thirst for fresh blood. I was trying to appease a demonic entity known as "Samhain," the god of Druids. Sam wanted blood and relished death. The demons who also accompanied him desired acts of destruction, and I ignorantly allowed them to use my body as a vessel of evil. How I regret this! I'm so very sorry for the pain I've brought to many families by believing such lies and falsehoods.
But thanks to Jesus Christ, I don't believe in the Devil anymore. Yes, he exists, yet he is no match for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now I know the Truth, and this truth is a person. It is Jesus, Himself. He alone has made me free, and Satan no longer has any claim on my life.
Christ has indeed granted me a wonderful freedom which cannot be affected by adverse circumstances - not even jail. Now I am forgiven. I have peace. I have hope. I'm truly free.
