It is always a privilege for me to share my thoughts and stories. In many ways it also gives me the opportunity to share my testimony. Although I was raised in a Christian home, I know what it is to try to live your life without Christ. There are people that start reading something, and once they get the idea as to what its about. They stop reading. Others are just simply not interested. If you have read to this point? Allow me to ask you to please continue reading. If this message is not for you. I am sure you will be able to pass it on to someone else. There was once a young man. We will refer to him as Dabanger. A young man that consequences led him into a life of drug use. A typical day for Dabanger was to wake up out of a restless sleep, thinking about some money he would be needing to take care of his illness. He tries to get up and walk, he feels horrible and cant remember who fathered him. With the eyes like a hawk he looks for a victim, discreetly whispering an excuse we all are familiar with: " Can you spare some change, I need to eat ?" and he`s off to the hot spot. Dabanger focuses on what he thinks, is his best friend. Simply because there were times where he was fronted the product. He opens his trembling hand to see the amount of what he got. And with a sigh of relief, he's on his way. Dabanger is in his secret place, and as he puts that poison in his vain. He once again proclaims to stop the next day. But time goes by and he continues to condemn his sole. He once again forgot that many had been praying for him. And there was a place where they always awaited for him, with a celebration. It was Gods house. where God would have forgiven him of his sins, and healed him of his addiction. But he never showed. Dabanger would go on to do him, and he never thought of God. But one day fate was not on his side. The dope was bad......dabanger was later found dead. In an old abandon building. It was there Dabanger lost his life (end). Some people might say, I'm hitting below the belt. By all means, my intentions is not to judge you, or accuse you. I think you will agree that this story has been a reality in a lot of families. This is very real not just in the inner cities, but everywhere. Some people resort to prescription drugs. We need to take a serious account of what we take for pain, and even sleeping aids. In today's society any person you meet while on the subway, or people you see while driving on the highway, can be a user of one thing or another. You can be a hard worker, or have a professional career and do a wonderful job taking care of your home and family. But if your doing it with out Christ. You are making yourself and your family a prime target for the enemy (Satan) to turn your life upside down. God wants you to have a good life a prosperous life. He gave man the authority over all living plants, creatures on land and in the sea. There is no reason why anyone being a child of God, would have to suffer with alcoholism, or addictions of any kind. Dabanger promised himself that he would quit the drugs. But in the end, it was the drugs that put an end to him. Some people often say; I'm going to church on Sunday, but the year goes by and they have yet to go. It is s important to acknowledge Jesus Christ as your lord and savior. Communicate with Him daily, and He will direct your path. He will allow you to see the devils approach, and He will give you the authority to rebuke the devil, and make him leave your midst. When any one is subject to any sort of dependency, everyone suffers. Mothers, children and wives. I urge you you take a closer walk with Christ. May God bless you.
Love always, Irving Serrano Sr.
