my born again or being saved experience!

About 25 years ago , I got saved! Born into the kingdom of god. Jesus had been been keeping me alive and working in my life when I was a little boy named Danny Green. I grew up in a home where my stepmother was extremely abusive towards me from the time I was one year old. Through that abuse, Satan put the fear of men in me and a very low self worth. This turned into an anxiety obsessive compulsive disorder and self abuse which later turned into multiple addictions. When I was about 16, I got into some minor trouble with the law and I believe that God, through the probate Court system, sent me to a wonderful Christian foster care for troubled boys and girls, ran by a pastor and his wife. While at this home, I traveled with the pastor to small country churches where he preached the gospel. That is where I first felt Jesus knocking at my heart's door through His spirit, but I resisted God's love and ended up in other foster home
s, running the streets, and on drugs. This ended up with a prison term for breaking and entering...to be continued.
 
I want to be sure I got this right. You are Danny Green and later on you got saved?
 
OK guys ! Most people get their names before they get saved! And when I said the fear of men I thought you guys would understand all mankind, questions already ? Something tells me you don't take me serious! Warthog I think you really cared! See you guys when Christ sorts all of us out ! Waterhound
 
I understand WaterHound, for although my dad wasn't physically abusive, he was very strict and mentally abusive and that made me feel unworthy and many times when around other children they wouldn't have anything to do with me and I became very bashful, felt I was too ugly and was scared of most everyone that I didn't know for very long! Therefore, I do understand how you feared everyone...men and women...for I was the same for too many years! I was saved at 13 but like a vaccination it didn't take, for although I knew about Jesus, I didn't know Him personally as my Savior and Lord, as this takes the anointing of God's Holy Spirit working within our souls by leading and guiding us with the truth of God's Holy Word which we must study, diligently, to show ourselves approved workmen of God Jehovah in the name of Jesus!

Then in 1986, at the age of 51, I had gone through losing my parents in 1984, hospitalized in 1985 for Depression and suicide attempts and then Gall Bladder surgery and then another hospital stay in another psychiatric hospital! My ex cut my phone off and pushed over my mailbox...so I had to stay with my brother, Larry and his wife, Wanda, until I had my phone connected and with a new number, so my ex and his live in mistress couldn't torment me like they had been doing! So with all of this happening within a short time, I was both physically and mentally ill but Praise God, He truly saved me and filled me with His Holy Spirit in 1986 while attending small Pentecostal churches with my brother and sister and by myself....sure made a difference in my life with lots of prayers and Christian love shown me! Therefore Danny continue your posting for I am interested and wgSteve is also, for we both went through bad divorces and he can tell you all about what happened and how he found the Lord and quit going to a church organization that wasn't helping him! May God Bless and please do continue with your story! In Christ's sweet, agape love! :angel: Ma
 
was because I was confused by what I read. I was trying to figure out if the boy was you or if you were writing about another boy. No need to leave the forum. Glad to have ya here.
 
How dare you guys not let me leave this forum! Lol, you guys all know that I'm over sensitive, who are you people ? You won't let me quit! You are Christians!
 
Stay tuned for the unshackled story of danny green.
 
Thanks for replying and we certainly hope we are Christians! Now continue with your story about being born again and getting saved experience! Don't leave us sitting on pins and needles! Too many cliff hangars on TV programs! For example Curse of Oak Island....the finale is tonight and it is recording...sure left us hanging too often! :lol! Will they have found anything after all the time and money spent? Gotta tune in and find out.....but if not they will be continuing with their program next Fall IF THEIR FINANCES hold out.....sure has been expensive for Rick and Marty Laguina but they have many sharing in the expenses; so they better find lots and lots of gold and jewels to share the richness of the finds with everyone involved! I pray no one else gets killed trying to find what has been supposedly hidden there on the island! Been very interesting though! God Bless! :angel: Ma
 
Pee, squally! If you tell your dad when he gets home from work I'll get you later. That's what l heard from my demon influenced step mother all the time when I was a little boy growing up in traverse city mi. I was called pee squally. Because I wet the bed and cried a lot ,from the extreme mental and physical abuse from her. We were a mixed family I had one full brother, two half brothers and a step sister and brother . my full older brother got treated bad but l got the full blunt of Satan's rage through my step mom. She got the other kids to call me that name . I was afraid of the dark, and one night I think I saw a angel standing by my window , as I started to look up at the angel I stopped and ran down stairs before seeing her face , I say her because she was wearing a white gown., I remember us kids going to a church , its now a mennonite church, we did not go for very long but I did learn about Jesus. God kept me alive during that abuse , and l remember my dad would some times hit my step mom when he found out about the abuse, and say he was going to take me and my full brother away but never did. The neighbors and other relatives new what was going on but back then people don't say much. Waterhound

At 16 years old I got into trouble with the law and was sent to a christian foster home in Everett Michigan called pineview homes ran by a pastor and his wife, when I would travel with the pastor to small country churches I started feeling the holy spirits tug on my heart but resisted gods love. After a few more foster homes I started living a life of complete recklessness with no respect for myself or other peoples property or the law, and ended up in Jackson prison two times for breaking and entering . the first time I got 2 to 10 years and the second time 6 to 10 years after that I worked for a living. But was deep into pornography and total filthy wierdness plus marijuana and inhalants. And cough syrup. I was dangling on a bungie cord of gods mercy above eternal hell and Jesus was holding the end of the cord. And then the spirit led me to a christian out reach coffee house in traverse city ran by living god church, and l met a young man full of gods love and spirit ,his name kurt Barrett and he became my friend, and must have been praying with others a lot for me because when he came to my apartment he asked me if l wanted to be saved and ask Christ in my heart and life I said yes ! And on my bathroom floor on my knees I did , gods children stay tuned for what happened next. Waterhoumd
 
Well after l prayed and got up off my knees I had a joy and happiness that I never experienced in my whole life, I felt free of sin guilt , and had a strong desire to praise god , read his word, repent more, love more, tell people what just happened, go to church , and seek baptism, and a strong sensitiveity to sin and a desire to resist it, and call out to god for help and forgiveness ever since. But the biggest thing I noticed was joy and peace. And it was winter time and I walked out on the frozen bay and praised god and while I was , looking up the sky even looked different! Now my wife said she did not experience all those things when she got saved! And I told her maybe its because some people are in such darkness that when their born again its such a change from darkness to light its more noticeable. Now! Back to my step mother, I felt the strong desire to go tell her I forgive her and would she forgive me !and when I did we both wept are eyes out, but my dad I think ? Said something like are you on drugs . I did OK for a while but I did not stay in a god and bible and people loving church, and the enemy with temptations came and l floundered and fell hard, but this time my sin was not fun any more and I noticed that my heart was not in it as before . before you say it l know sin is a heart problem. But I don't like it or want it I just did it, over and over and over! As the years past the stinking flesh had me in bondage . to be countinued
 
It sounds like you are going the right direction now. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks WaterHound for telling us your story and continue on with how God has worked in your life....even though you failed Him many times! I was a lukewarm Christian for too many years and then when Baptized in God's Holy Spirit, my life and serving Jesus changed in marvelous ways! He is an Awesome God and loves us more than we can possibly love Him, but only through His wonderful love for us! :angel: Ma
