    Love this testimony, I used to deal drugs, do drugs, but always felt like I was “saved” until I stopped one day and saw how evil this world really is! It sent me in a depressed state for many years and I’m finally getting out of it. I was trying to figure out how to make the next step without feeling ashamed, embarrassed and wanting to get into community , to feel excepted and thru your testimony, I can make that next step and your right about people that been with you thru the “hurt” and want the best for you through Christianity, keep them in your life and let go all the other people, amen

My life used to be a mess with a capital M.I was living in absolute darkness until Jesus rescued me from myself. No drugs, sex, psychologists, counsellor can do what Jesus can. No matter how far gone you are in your sins he can save you.

    I had a dream where there were like metal slats and I was climbing up the metal slats to get to Jesus and I went up to the clouds and Jesus was there and he was so big you cannot even imagine I was blown away and then I started to fall like I was going to hell and I kept trying to climb back up to Jesus and then I woke up I don't know what that means but I don't know what the devil is trying to tell me something and messing with my head or if I'm just doing bad and I'm not going to make it to Heaven because the worst thing I want to hear is depart from me I never knew you then I had another dream where the Rapture happened and these Angels were taking everybody up including me and I got almost to heaven and then I started to fall slowly back to the ground and then I woke up so I don't know what that means either

    Carrie, I hope that you are and have committed to following Christ. Because He is able to hold you and keep you from falling away. Read the Gospel of John especially from the 14th chapter on….Jesus is comforting his disciples and His loving care even at the point of being crucified has always helped me. I have always had much fear in my life. He has helped me through❤️

    True. Your comment reminds me of how we all have a chance to truly live because Christ took our punishment on our behalf. It was God's grace and love that saved him. And it's great that faced with that situation with the cops, he chose to live and now he is serving God and not stuck in a life of bad decisions. God has His eye on all of us and pursues us with His goodness and love. And He is doing the same for that other young man who ordered the drugs. As long as he is alive there's still hope for him. Let's be praying for him. And God loves you too. As long as he is alive there's still hope for him. Let's be praying for him. And God loves you too.

I didn't think so , you're acting like he got caught up for his own operations and then flipped on his plug to get out of jail free . This is nonsense to begin with , you need Jesus if you're still thinking about what standards "the streets" hold but honestly , what block do you come off of , if someone sent a pack to my house before Jesus and got me wrapped up in heavy charges , not only is he taking responsibility for the pack , he's getting a beating while he's inside on range and personally by me when he gets out for being stupid enough to use MY address to get HIS dope sent out to him.
