After 37 years of captivity (Jeremiah 52: 31-34)... I was released. I put off my prison garments... for kingly garments. This was the revelation the Holy Spirit gave me from King Jehoiachin's story in the Book of Jeremiah... where the King of Babylon: released him from prison, spoke kindly to him, gave him a seat above all the other kings with him in Babylon, and gave him a daily allowance for all his needs until his death. I felt the Holy Spirit say… "That is you... Now what?... Everything is covered... What do you want to do?

I do what I do because I believe the human soul is the most valuable thing on this earth. As a kid, I was raised in church and hated everything about it. I was forced into a "relationship" with God, initiated by the fear of going to hell, and was told that I had to walk a straight line to get to Heaven. This left me angry, rebellious, hating God, and even going as far as atheism for several years of my life in my mid-teens. At 16, I started experimenting with drugs & alcohol... heavy drinking, xanax, ecstasy, cocaine, percocets, and steroids.

Abraham... had a great promise from God. He then entered the Promised Land while it was in drought, discovered that the place God promised him was filled with giants, & had to wait 25 years for Isaac to be born. Joseph... had a dream of being a ruler while in his youth. He was then sold into slavery, accused of rape, & ended up in prison for a long time. David... got anointed king in his late teens. He then slayed Goliath, was appointed a leader in the king's army, & built a name for himself... only to become an international fugitive who lived in the caves of the wilderness for many years.

This story begins, at the age of 14... in the closet of my Grandma's old bedroom... in my childhood home... which was now my room. I was getting ready to go into my freshman year of high school and knew I would be showering in the football locker room after practice... this terrified me because I knew everyone would see my huge scar that I received from a major childhood surgery.
