I was saved while incarcerated . At the time of my salvation, I was an alcoholic, a drug user, and had a criminal record in 7 states. Prior to my being saved, I went three weeks where i could not make it home; I was being arrested on the way home. When I said a sinner's prayer, I added in to please help me to stay out of jail, and I promised that the only time that God would see me in jail would be on a ministry team, I have not been in jail as an inmate since April 13, 1994. I was filled with the Holy Spirit in 2001, at the time of my infilling, I was delivered from drugs and alcohol, all the desires and cravings immediately disappeared without any side effects or withdrawls. In 2005, I was in an accident , and both hips were shattered, the groin muscles were torn, there was ligament, and tendon damage .The hospital wanted me to go to a nursing home , I moved to a new location, in a different state [not too easy considering the shape the body was in ]I now have had both hips replaced, the damage is gone and I am running, and walking without any difficulty. I am on disability, and living in a regular apartment, God' multiplies' my monet every month, and all of my needs are met.
