Picture this, a 30 something man driven to the brink of existence by a psychopathic wife. You tried to walk away, and then run away and you just could not get away. Once even you waited till she got into the shower, grabbed your keys and made it to the car, before she came out of the house stark naked and stood behind the car so you could not leave. On top of this, there is a guy trying to kill you who left 5 bullet holes in the radiator of your semi-truck. You would think I would be grateful that he missed me. I was more disappointed than anything. I had the IRS ready to freeze all my assets, which weren't much but all I had.
Now imagine one night that everything came to a head, the shouting in front of your son you could see the horror in his eyes. So you do the only thing you can think of to stop it. You take your revolver, walk out into the front yard, look up to the stars, and ask God why you should go on. He told me in an instant thought clear as day that he had a reason, but I would need to find it myself in His Word.
I took the gun away from my temple and went back into that house and hugged my son so very tight. The very next day I heard that the guy who was trying to kill me was arrested for interstate transportation of stolen goods. A few days later I get a call from the IRS (before it was kinder, gentler) and the woman who called asked me a lot of questions and then said that I did not have the means to pay so they were going to drop the proceedings and forgive my debt. Weeks later my wife started a relationship with the neighbor next door and said she was filing for a divorce.
I picked up my Bible and have not stopped reading it every day without fail even the night I was in the hospital having a heart attack; I had my pastor read it to me. I did miss the night my current wife was having a heart attack. I did pray all night though. God has shown me so many truths since that night, so much so that I was compelled to share these truths with the world in the book “The Seal of the Living God”
I chose not to include my pain, in the book, but rather focus on what I have learned.
I know this sounds like the beginning of a good novel, but it is my story, I lived it.
