I was A Priest Of Satan Till I Saw Jesus

Have you ever listened to a testimony that moved you to proclaim God is great and loves us unconditionally? This is one of those testimonies. Earl was a prisoner in Texas he says, “While behind bars, I began to treat Christians as badly as Paul did. I became a high priest of Satanism and even let others drink my blood. I joined a white supremacist gang. Six times I’ve been in prison, I became more violent each time. I was ordered to segregation and eventually to the psychiatric ward. I was like the possessed man of Mark 5. 

Earl continues to say “One day a friend invited me to church. I said, No way. He said, Four ladies are going to sing. I said, OK. The preacher preached, but I felt nothing in my heart of stone. Then the ladies sang ‘Break My Heart, Lord.’ Their voices were like angels, covered in the brightest light I had ever seen. And something else was different: where there were four people, now there were five. “I thought it must be the drugs. Wrong. Then a gentle voice spoke to my heart: ‘I love you, Earl.’ He showed me how filthy I was when I looked at his hands, I saw nail scars. I now know who it was. Jesus loves me,’ is all I could think. My eyes were so full of tears that I could not see, and when I tried to speak, I had no voice. That day I repented of all my sins and asked Jesus to be my Saviour and the Master of my life. Today, I study God’s Word so that I can be ready for life on the outside.”  

Today, if you ever doubted God’s love for you I pray this testimony showed you that he loves you enough to save you no matter what you have done or are doing. 

They saw the man who had been possessed … sitting there, dressed and in his right mind. Mark 5:15 

Let’s Pray 

Yahweh, only you have the power to truly set captives free. The song says “OH, for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise”! God, please penetrate our hearts, and fill us with your love. In Jesus’s name Amen.
