Breath of Life Testimony: Ronald

Glory to God! I started at the age of 19 snorting cocaine. God had blessed me with a good opportunity in AT&T and the work ethics to move up in the company and become successful, which I did. Within 15 years, I received five promotions. Then things got real bad. This is when Satan became my ruler. I thought that everything I accomplished was of me. I received many rewards and recognition from man, which made me feel like I was on top of the world. During this climb, I went from snorting cocaine to smoking cocaine. I was what we call a functioning drug addict. I never missed work. However, the addiction did lead me down a path that eventually got me fired. Now, everything that I thought made me was gone and I had nowhere to turn. Thank God for a praying mom. She stuck with me and reminded me of the good days when my focus was on the Lord. I turned to God humbly and with true sorrow in my heart and asked for forgiveness. I then started my journey back home. The closer I got to Jesus, the further cocaine felt from me. It's funny how different my attitude is between living in the flesh and living in the Spirit. I am now at day 59 of the course. I feel like a young man in Christ, not knowing everything but knowing enough to know that I'd rather have the gifts of God than the death in Satan. My goal is to do the work of God. I pray that the experience I had to learn the hard way does not become in vain. I want to use my time I was with Satan to teach others that is not where they want to be.
