A Bible in a prison cell SAVED ASAP PREACH'S life! “Throughout my childhood I experienced my parents having a lot of parties. There was a lot of drugs and drinking around, and I was exposed to a lot of things that I shouldn’t have been exposed to. I had my first drink of alcohol at 5. At the age of 11 years old, I was se*ually ab*sed. Leaving me with a perverted view on life. All I could think about was lust and fulfilling fleshly desires. I felt like I couldn’t tell nobody what I was going through so I just bottled it in. Trying to numb the pain of feeling rejected, I fell into dr*gs and started hanging out with gangs. In 2007, I was Rockbottom sleeping on the floor of random peoples houses. I ended up getting arrested at one of the hardest times of my life! To the point, I told the officer to “shoot me in the head I didn’t wanna live anymore”. They arrested me and took me into my cell. There was a Bible in there and when I opened up this Bible, it started speaking to me as if there was somebody else in the room. I began to have this peace inside of this prison that I had never experienced before. I always believed that Jesus died on a cross for my sins, but I never knew you could have a true relationship with Him. But I felt the Holy Spirit in the cell and I called upon God and I said “Lord, if you’re real, get me out of this place and I’ll serve you for the rest of my life”. I really didn’t know what that looked like to follow God since all I knew was the streets. But overtime, the Holy Spirit would convict me and show me things about me that I never knew but also things that he didn’t want me doing anymore. So I started to let things go. Since then I have been travelling the world telling people about this hope that I have in Jesus! That he can Set them free from addiction, comfort them when they are broken and be a friend to them! Because that’s what he was for me! He also told me that if I would do things that glorify him that he would provide for my family forever! And since I’ve been doing full-time ministry doing Christian hip-hop music! I was Somebody that the world counted out, but God counted in and made me part of his kingdom.”
