My Testimony - Devin
November 16, 2002

My name is Devin and I am 18 years old. I attend Christ Academy High school and I am the student Pastor there.

Looking at me two years ago most people would say, "How in the world could this guy be a Pastor and lead people to God." I was really bad off into drugs,alcohol,etc., I was a drop out in High school and wasn't really going anywhere in my life but towards death.

Quite a few times I was in situations where I about lost my life but I didn't. For some reason I know the reason now but then I didn't and I didn't really care to know, the only thing I really cared about was how to get drunk.

I was an alcoholic at around the age of 15 drinking every single day besides maybe a day here and there. When I dropped out of High School I think that was my first step to coming to the Lord Because God had somwhere else he wanted me to go to school.

So, after I dropped out of Northwest, I heard of a Christian school that was really easy and most people graduate early so I tried to talk my mom in to letting me go. Finally she gave in and sent me. So here I am going to a Christian school going out every day after school getting drunk and coming back the next day and repeating it all over.

On the sign that they have outside the school said Jesus is our focus but it wasn't mine, my focus was getting out of there as soon as possible with a diploma. But later on in the year the Lord started taking my worldly friends out of the school and by Christmas it was just me left and the Lord had me right where he wanted me.

So, after Christmas break, I came back to school and on the first day back I felt so weird like I was having a panic attack or something so during Praise and worship at school I got prayer from a Pastor and just broke down and cried out to the Lord and that morning God touched me and the veil that I talked about in revealing Christ was lifted and I saw how beautiful the Lord was and it gave me such a desire to run after Him with all that I had and all that I did. I wouldn't let anything stop me at first. Then as time went on I stumbled from time to time and I was really getting frustrated until I stumbled my last time and really hit rock bottom and I knew I had to get on the right track and quit seeking out to please people, my girlfriend and the others around me but I had to worry about only pleasing God and doing the things Jesus would do.

So you see, in the beginning of my walk with the Lord it wasn't all about God it was alot about pleasing others and until I came to the point that I was going to serve God to please him and not other people I had a sandy foundation but when I decided to serve God because I truly loved Him and desired to please Him, then my foundation became a solid rock which will not budge,and now as I said in the beginning I am leading others to God. Amen
