I Couldn’t Make It Work




It Was All My Responsibility
The people in my family are very religious. My parents made sure I had the very best education by the best religious educators available. Like my parents, I am an extremely ambitious person. I am fluent in several languages; I memorized large quantities of religious material; I excelled in debate and could out argue most people from other religions and philosophies.

At a young age, I was given opportunities to represent my religious organization in spreading and replacing many other religions and schools of thought. I thought God needed my help in straightening people out. I spent a lot of my time protecting what I thought was His reputation and His religious beliefs. I was willing to fight for what I believed in and was willing to try to force others to believe what I believed.


I Lived And Ministered
Anger And Hatred
I was filled with a lot of hatred and anger against those who didn’t see things the way I saw them. If I had, had my way, I would have been more than willing to take people’s free will away from them. I didn’t believe in freedom of religion. I thought people needed to be pushed into what I considered to be the one true religion.

It looked like my life was going great; I was very successful and popular in my religious group. I was given permission to attack and resist people in various areas around where I lived. I made their lives miserable and felt that, that was the way to convert people into the proper ways of God. It wasn’t until the One True God helped me see that He wasn’t anything like what I thought He was, that I changed my whole approach to religion.


I Became A Christian; But,
I Kept A Few Things
First, God helped me change to Christianity. That in itself was a tremendous change in my life. But, I brought a lot of my methods, attitudes, and systems with me into Christianity. Just as soon as I felt I had a good grasp of Christian principles, I started arguing with as many people as I could. I successfully used my wisdom, knowledge, and debate skills to force people to admit Christianity was correct.

My religious beliefs totally changed; but, my heart and life didn’t change much. I was in the right religion but I wasn’t understanding the difference between Christianity and the religion I came from. I didn’t know much about love. I didn’t understand the importance God puts on free will. I didn’t know God was in favor of freedom of religion.
My whole life had been about following a strict religious code. I wanted everyone to submit to the rules and regulations that I thought God wanted everyone to live by. I didn’t know there was a way for people to follow God because they loved Him and His way of life. It took me a lot of time spent with God and His people before I could accept this new way of life.


This Way Works For Everyone
After many years as a Christian minister, a lot of people, just like I used to be, have attacked me and the way I now live and teach. However, I have been able to help large quantities of them see God and His ways and bring them into this wonderful relationship that He alone offers.

Rules, regulations, laws, and codes of conduct no longer dominate my life and the work I am doing with God. God has some awesome laws and commandments; but, He has a way of empowering us to live them as we learn how to love ourselves, other people, and Him. I can honestly say that I am a totally transformed person. I have been able to help an amazing amount of people find the freedom, peace, joy, and love that I have found.


Once It Starts Working For You....
I hope you will join me in influencing people all around the world as we work together to show them the one true religion. Even though Christianity is the only way to God, God still doesn’t try to force anyone to accept it. Instead, He is asking us to love people into it. Rather than me going around hurting and attacking people, I am now drawing them in through joy, happiness, pleasure, peace, relationships, love, grace, and mercy.

Hurry up and get all the help you need so you can join me in working with our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ to help some very desperate people. The more you get help from Jesus, the more you will be able to share that help with your friends. Like me, you are going to love living in the principles of Christianity.
