Heavenly Father let my testimony be heard both the saved and those not yet believe reading it. In Christ Jesus our Lord!
I completely believe without any doubt Yeshua Hamashiach the Lord Jesus our Savior.
He is the way of life, the absolute and eternal truth in the known, the unknown, visible and invisible universe and in him there is life eternal apart of him there's no life, but spiritual death.
...As the Word of the Lord says: and when I'm talking about the Bible, I'm not talking about a watered up version, a flavor of the day, a perversion of it , but the preserved word of the Lord the 1611 King James Bible, which says on it's last page:
Revelation 22:16-21
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
...So as I was saying about Jesus the Savior and see what the bible tells us about Him:
John 1:1-4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
By faith I believe that Jesus Christ created the physical world out of the spiritual realm or dimension where he pre-existed with God
John 6:57
As the living Father hath sent me,
John 6:62
What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
Hebrews 1: 2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
...I also believe that he came to fulfill the law Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms to the " jot and the tittle" as He put it and he did it all according to his promise.
Mt 5:17-18
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
...Because of my accent people asking me what's your nationality and in most cases I simply tell them that I'm a Christian a member a citizen of the holy nation of the Lord Jesus Christ
1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
John 18:36
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
...But of course they are only interested of my physical origin but this gives me an opportunity to tell them how much our Heavenly Father loves them and point it out that He is the one true God that He created this world and everything in it and sent His only begotten son the Lord Jesus Christ to pay for their sin debt .
...Late in 1992 I was 33 years old and came to realize that I had a messed up life and needed help. That's when I called out to God for help.
All that I went through in my existence until then led to that moment in time I didn't know but He was way past ready for me.
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
...Let me see what led me to this point.
In spite of being born to decent loving and hard-working parents I have lived a regrettably shameful, selfish, rebellious, unGodly existence heading towards eternal separation from God and ultimately hell fire.
Rom 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death"
...As a child, - which by the way I thought I had a fantastic childhood - living a carefree life literally jumping off the cliff, walking on thin ice in the spring, climbing up the roof, climbing through thin branches of trees one to another, entering a cave of clay that was digged out by Nazis 20 years before, racing friends on the bottom of the olympic size swimming pool almost running out of air coming back up, getting a serious concussion sliding on ice, and another time breaking my nose I thought it was my head standing on skates with my hands in my pocket falling.
Of course when my dad, who loved me a lot, found out about my wild behavior I got serious discipline most of the time by the belt, sometimes just a slap here and there and sometimes he pulled my ear. Yes, I could hear the sound of it almost getting ripped off my head.
I'm sure if he had a rod handy he would have spoiled it big time.
Now I know that it was the grace the long suffering and the mercy of God that I survived those years...
Matthew 5:45-48
that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
...But bad things were not nearly over yet.
After the long military service that fuelled more rebellion:
I Let my hair down grew a beard, started drinking alcohol and much of it, took some drugs on ocasion, picked up smoking, playing in the rock band, and when riding a motorbike many times I came close to get killed like crossing over into the opposite lane or when I was being pushed of the road by an 18 wheeler.
When I was trying to fix the shingles that were blown off the roof in a violent windstorm, I got hit in the head by the trap door so hard I sat down in the attic waiting, since the blow was so powerful I thought I couldn't survive it so I waited to die. After I didn't I continued on as nothing happened...
2nd Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
...When I came to the point that I needed help I did cry for it to God. After the Lord had heard my prayer he put everything in motion and things started to change rapidly out of the blue.
I found myself in Vancouver. My friend Richie called me stupid for not knowing that Jesus Christ was God so I read the New Testament to make sure of it and he was absolutely right!
...I continued reading the New testament and the Bible I met Born again Christians namely Dan Leonard who came to my apartment and taught me the Word once or twice a week,
John McLaughlin an American Baptist preacher who also was preaching downtown on Georgia and Granville and have had Sunday services at the Britannia center on Commercial drive where he told me that it was a shame for men to have long hair also corrected me about wearing earrings so I took it out and threw it away there and then.
Daniel Birch who later assisted at my water baptism early next year.
Patrick Saint Dennis who also was a born again Christian he is with the Lord now, he got me phone numbers of work in the construction industry and Martin Hantsky an ordained minister who still up to date preaching downtown on Granville and Georgia holding up the 1611 King James Bible shouting out the Word.
I believe all these "Ministers of fire" were put in my life by God to lead me to and on the narrow path pointing to the Lord Jesus our Savior.
Some of my favorite bible verse are:
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Colissians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
...As far as my family concerned both my parents and my younger sister were born again Christians now with the Lord
I do have my own family and two daughters. I met Stella - who is a beautiful kind-hearted woman - when I moved to Vancouver in late 1992 the Lord showed me that I can marry a woman who comes through Him. At the time I was acquainted with two different women Stella was raised in a Christian School, the other person was a born again Christian.
I've married Stella putting my faith in the hands of the Lord. Our children are Natasha and Samantha intelligent, smart, hard working but lost. They need prayers.
Ministry:
...Since working on different job sites daily I have given the opportunity to share the gospel with many coworkers. Many of them received flyers, some bibles.
I have been giving out tracks downtown Vancouver at the art gallery and on Georgia Street at the TD Bank witnessing our loving Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Also been giving out the word of the Lord, the 1611 King James Bible.
...Also have small presents on line: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blogger with resources and prayers, to lead those interested, to the Lord.
...I love the Lord and the members of the body of the Lord Jesus Christ his church. Believing His Word and promises completely without any doubts. I pray that my testimony brings you closer to him, blessing you and your loved ones that regardless of the difficulties of physical life you overcome all by having faith in our loving Lord Jesus the Christ.
