The Truth Shall Make You Free

Just wanted to take the time to share a little bit about my journey on this 4-20 evening, coinsidence? I think not. February 10, 2008 I got on a plane to Kansas City, Missouri not knowing what the future held for my life and marriage. The only thing I did know is that I needed to get high. I didn't know how I was going to function without getting high while in KC. I was a mess. I didn't have an understanding of the chaotic life I was living. But God had  a plan...

Jesus says in John 8:32 "And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." You see I didn't know truth. All I had was lie upon lie upon lie. Revelation 19:10 says, "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." The reason I'm sharing this is because just one word shattered a 1,000 lies. Every time I would put that blunt, joint or pipe to my lips I was drowning out the voice of the One who knows and loves me most, my precious Jesus. 1 John 4:19 says, "We love Him because He first loved us." I realized as I sat in the prayer room that I was a son of the Most High and that every pain and every place that hurt so deep in my heart that I tried to cover up and keep from Him was where He was trying to get for years. At that very moment He said to me, you will never turn to any other lover again. I would not go back to getting high off of things that brought me no true, lasting pleasure. Then and there I was sanctified by His truth, His word is His truth. John 17:17.

It's been 3 years, 2 months and 10 days since I smoked weed. I have had more clarity of mind in these past years then I have ever had in those 17 years that I gave myself to the pleasures of this world. I am happier then I have ever been in my life. I love my wife and kids more then ever. Thank you Jesus that I am FREE! He did it for me...He can do it anyone. Ain't no high like the most HIGH!
