The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me…

My personal experience of Salvation

I was saved by God’s grace as a fourteen year old boy. 

I was lost for around three years before being saved. One night at an old time meeting, conviction set in. As I got up to leave the service, I made it to the second seat from the back, fell down and called upon the Lord.

I found peace with God.

The next night, I united with the church and was baptized into Rocky Mound Missionary Baptist Church.

Carrying God’s Word

My Call to Preach

Some years after joining Rocky Mound, I had gotten away from the Lord, and I had a great desire for Him to make Himself manifest to me.

While praying and asking Him to let me feel His sweet Spirit again, I told the Lord that I would be willing to do what He would have me do, if I could just feel His Presence.

It never crossed my mind that He would call me to preach, but that night I felt His Spirit, and that still, small voice said, “Preach My Word”.

I ran from the call for eight years. After being brought to a point where I felt that I had no other choice, I owned my call to preach God’s Word.

The next Sunday, I preached for the first time.

With the Lord’s Help, I’ve been trying to preach ever since.
