He's Alive News September 2022

Six years ago in August, the Lord called me out of darkness into his marvelous light. I was spiritually dead and almost physically dead. I was a slave to sin and drugs. Thinking back on how God directed my steps, I remember finding myself in the middle of a drug deal with a man whom I thought was going to rob me. In self-defense I proceeded to draw my pistol on him and was about to shoot him! Something in me just would not allow it. I was crying and visibly shaken at the thought of what I was about to do, take someone’s life.

Without pulling the trigger, I went back to my apartment and wept profusely. I was not saved but this marked the beginning of God drawing me unto Himself. My life was not supposed to be this way. Asking myself over and over how did I get here? I shouted out loud to God, “God help me!” Thank the Lord He was working on me and within three weeks of that near murderous experience, I found myself at the point of surrender to my loving heavenly Fathers call. Over a period of 3 weeks, I went to 3 jails and was committed into a mental institution.

No one including myself ever thought I would be back to normal. I was so mentally unstable I couldn’t take care of my children or even go into the grocery store alone. I was at the end of myself. I had lost my children (didn’t have custody of them for over 7 years). I lost my home, my mind, and my freedom. BUT GOD.... I ended up in another jail. When I walked into the cell, I met an older woman who knew me, but we had never met. She called me by my name and told me “Tasha, God is waiting to hear from you. You must go home and take care of your children. They need you.” It stunned me. I remember yelling “you don’t know me! You don’t know anything about me!” Then she persisted to tell me things about myself that only God knew about me. Things too personal and hurtful to share. I broke down crying. At that moment I had breakthrough. All my life I was so lost that I did not realize the way I had been living my life was wrong. I was so deceived, thinking I was the victim but didn’t think how many people I was hurting. I pointed the finger at everyone else and blamed them for my condition. I blamed my parents for being addicts, I blamed my abusive boyfriend, I blamed law enforcement for profiling, I blamed my family for coming to my house and taking my kids. In all reality some of those were factors, but ultimately it was my choice to continue that way.

The problem was I didn’t know how to live any other way. I had lived this way for 20 years. My entire mindset was dysfunctional and broken. After the lady in the jail cell spoke to me by the Spirit of God, I hit the floor and passed out from the drugs hitting my system. I won’t go into detail but that day I had a supernatural experience with the Spirit of the Living God. Fire came through my mind and I heard the roar of the lion of Judah as I saw flames. I came up off that floor a different woman. Today God has fully restored me! I have my 3 youngest children back in my custody, and we serve the Lord together. The Lord taught me how to live by the leading of the Holy Spirit. I am free! I no longer identify with being a drug addict, inmate, or unfit mother. He has given me beauty for ashes! I’m honored that He has called me to serve Him by helping lead others out of addiction and into freedom! So, to that one that thinks there is no hope.... DON’T GIVE UP!!! There is no pit deep enough that the love and grace of JESUS CHRIST can’t reach you. No mistake bad enough that he can’t forgive you. I would tell you just like that woman told me...CALL OUT TO THE LORD, HE IS WAIT- ING TO HEAR FROM YOU!!! Jesus loves you and He will put you back together stronger than you’ve ever been IF you let him.

I stand here today, a witness of the redeeming power of the blood of Jesus Christ.
