The college came to us everyday, and was a pilot program that ended the day I graduated, even though it had an 87% success rate. (Which is unheard-of) Prior to getting accepted, I had no intention of going back to God. I was going to do my time, get out, and do the same thing I was still doing on going there. (Using meth) I was angry and frustrated. I was the leader of a prison gang for the whole unit. Well, God had other plans. I was laying there on my bunk, reading a book, when I had an overpowering urge to read the Bible. I didn�t even own a Bible, I had to borrow one from another inmate. The next day I sent off for my own and was sent a NKJV. I was raised on KJV and did not like it at first, but slowly I saw that some things were much clearer in this version. I still teach out of it to this day. But, don�t think I didn�t fight God. I fought Him every step of the way. I finally figured out that I could not resist Him and found true peace for the first time in many years. In the meantime, I was burning through the pages of the Bible. I still study the same way today, just reading cover to cover. While doing this, there were many things I did not understand, so I prayed constantly for understanding. After I had transferred to the program, I was laying there reading one night and it was like someone flipped a light switch on. Everything fell into place. All the thousands of hours of reading and studying were suddenly worth every second. I have never experienced anything like it. I actually felt the Spirit of the Lord come on me and show me these things. Later I will post a couple of the revelations He gave me at that time. I know some of this is not what many of us are taught, but I assure you, it is the truth. Love and grace, Leon Post Reply
