    I remember when you went to the Lakeland Outpouring with your pastor. You came back burning for the Lord. That's when you changed your screen name to GGMatchstick.

    When I hear my old loves call'n my name
    F G
    I'm poured out like Wine and toast the Winds of change
    Am C Am C
    I can still see the sun I can still feel the breeze
    Am, C Am G
    Regrets I have none by His blood I've been set free


    C Am
    I drift into moments of grateful tears
    C Am
    I've forgave my enemies, forgot all my fears
    C Am
    I try not to look back, I stay surrendered everyday
    C Am
    The Spirit is willing and I'm the Potters clay

    Chapter 9: He fixed my life

    Fought everyman's battle, I was ruthless to the core
    A tongue full of obscenities, never satisfied always wanting more
    I never gave nothing without expecting a return
    Deeper in sin, backslider, knowing surely I would burn

    Life caving in on me the Hound of heaven at the door
    One Good Friday went to see "The Passion of the Christ" in 2004
    Then Easter Sunday I repented, confessed Him before men.
    Baptized in the Spirit my new journey had just began

    He fixed my life, like He fixed that piece of steel
    Right before my eyes He made sure I knew He was real
    Revealed Himself to me like His Word says
    He fixed my life, now that old man in me is dead

    It took acts of obedience to empower me to stand firm
    I resisted the devil, casing things down, confessing His Word
    Took every thought captive and imagination into obedience to Christ
    Became born-again, Jesus fixed my life

    I experience the fear of God, felt the wages of my sin
    Like Paul said I ran the race determined in Christ I could win
    One day at work I made a bad cut in a piece of steel
    Then stood in awe, as He fixed the hole my finger once did feel

    He fixed my life, like He fixed that piece of steel
    Right before my eyes He made sure I knew He was real
    Revealed Himself to me like His Word says
    He fixed my life, now that old man in me is dead

    They overcome the evil one, by the Blood of the Lamb
    By the word of their testimony they love not their life unto the end
    If you don't know Jesus, its God's will that you do
    He fixed my life; He can do the same for you

    He fixed my life, like He fixed that piece of steel
    Right before my eyes He made sure I knew He was real
    Revealed Himself to me like His Word says
    He fixed my life, now that old man in me is dead

    Yes, He fixed my life, now that old man in me is dead
    Thank You Jesus

    Luk 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

    Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you

    Note:
    I wrote this about my journey though my conversation and when I became Born-Again and the Devil then fled. I'd made it.
    Discipleship was a big key to this. I was discipled by 2 men who were of the Zion Apostolic Tabernacle - Frankfort Indiana, (an answered prayer, "Glory to the Father"). Only instrument used in there for worship is a pitch pipe for the old Hymns they sing. Women wear a head covering as well. It's kind of like a branch off of Mennonites.

    I was raised up going to a Methodist Church. This part of the lyric's tells about where I ended up that Good Friday and repented again 3rd time in 12 years. (One Good Friday went to see "The Passion of the Christ" in 2004 - Then Easter Sunday I repented, confessed Him before men. - Baptized in the Spirit my new journey had just began)

    That Peace the 2 times before came over me each time I repented for my back sliding. Each time I went to the alter and the Elders laid hands on me. Thing is I fell away because I was a baby Christian, I did not know what to do. I know I prayed for someone to disciple me and that never came to be. The sitting in Church listening to the sermons and worship was about all I did. I did do some singing performances singing some Gospel music. Did the same the second time then helped with a Summer Vacation Bible School program. Even wrote a song that had the kids join in and sing parts in it. "God's Little Champions" The theme of the program was towards the Summer Olympics of that year. I was blessed by my then older Brother's wife a ILUMINA STUDY BIBLE (Life Application Bible). Think I got nearly 7 books read back then of it. Great tool & study. But the world drew me back in and I was back playing music in the bars & clubs, (the money & hopes to find a woman). Amongst the thorns I was. It again did not stick.

    This time it was going to be different. I did not know that 4 Square Church denomination was Pentecostal. I really didn't believe in that kind of thing. But the Lord had it all set up, and as soon as I walked out of that Church that morning. The fiery darts where on me big time, that 7 times stronger thing. But the a thing that Pastor told me enlightened me. "It takes acts of obedience to empower the Holy Spirit". When I got to work that Monday, I knew a Christian man there, I told him what had happened to me. The discipleship started he took me on and his brother who worked there did as well. I mean God had a plan and I followed it. I worshiped with them many times in Frankfort.

    First time I walked into that Church the presence of God hit me so hard my eyes widened and I almost fell out. Shortly after that before I could walk into Parrish a man came up to me and gave me a Word from God. He didn't come out and say it like that. I was like what is this, he didn't even introduce himself until after he told me what he had to say. But it had to do with my wife. But I did what was told me later on, for sure. But there were nothing on the walls, no pictures, just pews/Hymnals/King James Bible in the slots holders and an alter (a Cross) behind the Pulpit. Quite a different worship service then I had ever been at. But, WOW!

    I prayed on the Armor of God every morning before I left the house. (Hebrews) Had the knowledge to fight off the things that attacked my mind. I renewed my mind as it says to do in the book Romans. I went all the way through that Study Bible, then the King James twice and a half. Up until 2014 when I tried to go home my way. But "he that believeth in Me shall never die" was the case. The fire (GGMatchstick) just became an amber. Then I found FireBrand's message, heard a message he preached and the Hound of Heaven blew on to that amber and got that flame a burning once again. It took a act of obedience on my part and some needed correction and repentance. I just love it when the Lord freaks my weirdness. Praise God to Him be the Glory!

    Chapter 10: The thorn in my side ~

    Generational curses: On my Father's side he told me he had a Aunt that he had known that had diabetes. It's clear to see that passed down to me and to my children. I know I've had hands laid on to be healed of it. Always wonder why? Like was there something that was blocking it? Then got revelation that it was the thorn in my side.

    2 Corinthians 12:7 ~*So*to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh,*a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.*
    8)*Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me.*
    9)*But he said to me,*"My grace is sufficient for you, for*my power is made perfect in weakness."*Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that*the power of Christ may rest upon me.*
    10)*For the sake of Christ, then,*I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For*when I am weak, then I am strong.
