My name is Ted, in 1997 God reminded my heart of the 10 commandments and I saw my need for a Savior. He drew me to the foot of a blood stained cross where I lifted my eyes to Jesus, repented and He saved me. A few months later I felt the call to be an evangelist. My Christian life is no different than anyone else's in that I still struggle with sinful desires and have to follow Biblical principles for maintaining a close relationship with Jesus.
I did not grow up going to church, I grew up a heathen, I spent much of my time before the age 26 fighting, drinking, and smoking cigarettes along with pot.
In Feb. 1997, my aunt Linda, who I was very close to, was very sick and I kept meaning to go by and see her. I guess I was too busy drinking and running around with my friends. I had a dream one night that my aunt died and I had still not been by to see her. I was very upset in my dream and went into the kitchen and there she stood. I started crying and apologizing for not coming to see her and she gave me a hug and said it is okay, then I woke up.
The dream seems so real, like it really happened and I told myself that I needed to go by and see her. Of course I didn't, I went out and got drunk instead. Then a couple days later I had another dream. This time I was out drinking and stopped by my house to get something, then I left my house and drove 3 blocks north and a young boy ran out in front of my truck. I still remember seeing his eyes disappear below the hood of my truck and then I slammed on the brakes. In my dream I freaked out and drove back to my house and then the cops showed up and arrested me, then I woke up. This too was a dream that seemed so real, I figured God was trying to get me to quit drinking before I killed someone or ended up in prison. Two days later, I do not remember leaving the bar and driving home. I am told that 3 blocks south of my house I hit a parked car, freaked out and drove to my house and then the cops followed the anti-freeze trail and arrested me. My friend Tim came over the next day after I got bailed out and asked me if I wanted to go to church with him. I told him that I couldn't go to church now, not after hitting a parked car and getting a DUI, what would those church people think of me. He said, well, how about just coming out to my house for some coffee and Bible study? And I said, I don't know, maybe later. I spent the day on the couch trying to get rid of my hangover until the phone rang that eveningmy sister called to tell me that my aunt Linda had passed away. I was so upset, because I had not been by to see her, then the dream came back to me. And then I remembered the other dream of hitting a boy 3 blocks north of my house and in reality I hit a parked car 3 blocks south of my house. So I called Tim and took him up on his offer to do some Bible study. On April 1st 1997, I was praying before going to bed and was thanking God for winning the battle for my soul and I heard a voice in my head say, it has just begun. I jumped up, turned on the lamp, grabbed my Bible and my journal that I had been writing in, and then I sat there talking to God for awhile. The Holy Spirit fell on me and God reminded my heart of the 10 commandments and that in James 2:10 we are told that if a man keep everyone of them but break one, then he is guilty of all. God drew me that night to the foot of a blood stained crossI lifted my eyes to Jesus and He saved me.
