It’s long but it’s worth reading. I got it from my co-worker. Even though we practice safe sex, where still not safe.
To those of you who are single or married, saved or not saved, this is
for you. I am a 35 year old brother dying of Aids.
I would
like to share my testimony with you.
I am an owner of a Mortgage Company in Atlanta, GA.
I own a
1999 Jaguar and I also own a $350,000 beautiful home in Cobb County . I have a beautiful lady who is deeply in love with me and a loving family.
But most
important, I have Jesus. This is just a wake up call to all single brothers and
sisters who are professing to be Christians, but don’t want to be complete.
Brothers, I had a beautiful young lady who loves the Lord and
worships the ground I walk on. But I still wasn’t quite happy because sometimes
I would see another sister with a Coca-Cola bottle shape and
just wanted to hit it. Because I was using a condom I thought that I wouldn’t
catch the Killer "AIDS"
But guess what? It did.
And the person I caught it from was a girl that I knew well. But
the condom came off and now I am dying of AIDS.
Yes, I wore a condom.
But yes it did happen. God gives us time after time to straighten our lives up.
I do know
the Lord in the pardon of my sins. I’ve been saved now for 7 years. I
found out 7 months ago that I had the virus, and now I have full-blown Aids.
And I want
you all to know that I have never been with another man. I really
didn’t think that I was doing anything wrong, because I would tell the
women who I would deal with about the woman I love.
I thought
that was good enough. But it wasn’t. I am a good man and also a
God-fearing man; but my weakness was women. I really wasn’t out
there like you may think I was. But every once and a while I would
see something I wanted to try.
My
girlfriend is a praying woman. I know now that she was intimate
with me because she loved me and she wanted to make me happy. Now
I’ve given AIDS to the woman I love (who has been faithful to me)
because of lust. Brothers and sisters, what I am telling you is
that God is tired of us hurting each other and using each other
for self gratification.
God has
given me my home, my dream car and a beautiful woman and I took it
all for granted. I’ve been tithing for 7 years. I am the chairman
of my Deacon Board. But when I told my Pastor I had AIDS, he could
not believe it because of the way I would carry myself. Brothers
.. if you have a sister who loves the Lord and who loves you for
who you are and not for what you look like and not for what you have, cherish
her.
Sisters …
if you have a brother who loves the Lord, love him and cherish
him. My life has been altered.
I’ve been
with my lady since I was 20, and I’ve always used my young age as an excuse for
not being loyal and not settling down with the woman I loved. I
was being a hypocrite thinking that I was missing something, and not realizing
that I had a good woman who loved and adored me. I
wish I had been a real man and had appreciated the good woman God
had sent me by not making excuses and dedicating my life to her. I would love
to travel and marry this beautiful young lady — but now I can’t. I’ve
embarrassed my family, my church and my friends. But I was hardheaded and now I
must suffer.
God is
cleaning up. Stop playing with God. God is revealing the secrets
of us Christians. Brothers and sisters, we don’t have to have so many
"friends," you know what we call them.
"The
ones we are planning to sleep with but haven’t yet." We often
say that we don’t want anyone to know our business, but God is about to reveal
some things. Especially us young people. We think so carnal. But
we say that we have been transformed. We have been transformed from what we
want to be transformed from. Let’s be real. God knows that the opposite sex
attracts us. And he knows the desires we have for each other, but
we don’t have to have multiple partners. If I could do it all over again, would
marry the woman I love and live happy forever. But now I can’t! But you can!
Singles…
I gotta tell you, it’s not worth it. I love you all! Get rid of casual sex. And
fight to prevent lovemaking (fornication)! This is really deep. After you’ve read
this, think about yourself. Could this have been you? Some of you may not
relate, but think about anything you are doing right now that is not of God.
You may not
have anything to do with premarital sex. or a sexual affair, but sin is sin and
everything done in the dark shall come to light.
We are
living in the last and final days, and pretending to be saved is not going to
cut it.
Professing
that He is Lord, and yet worshipping the devil every chance you get will led
you to the same path as me.
Sex for
those who are saved must be with your OWN wife or husband.
That
includes necking and petting, touching, oral sex, phone or
Internet sex, and even fantasizing.
Get your
mind out of the gutter and put it in the Word of God and you’ll have great
success. Don’t and you’ll have great woe.
I love the
LORD and thank Him for all that he does in my life, therefore, I’m passing this
on. Yes, I do love Jesus who has forgiven me of the repeated sins.
That
forgiveness does not cancel out the consequences, at least not so
far. But that’s on me. Still, the Lord is my source of existence and Savior. He
keeps me functioning each day and is letting me share my story with you.
I’m telling
it like it REALLY is to help somebody. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without
Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things. Phil 4:13
If you love
Jesus, send this to lots of people!!!!!! Be Positive -
Be
Progressive…
Take the time to make a positive
difference in someone’s life.
