My Good God Story! He's Alive News Aug 2022

My Good God Story, 100% Proof Positive He is Real! - By Benjamin Mahon

It was exactly this time last year I told my testimony to this church for the first time in Loving Hands program. It is pretty cool! That means I have been in Loving Hands one year exactly. It is good stuff. God is working miracles in my life. He is transforming who I am into somebody who is completely different. My family sees it, my mom sees it, and my dad sees it.

When I was in the eleventh grade my mom and dad moved to Florida along with seven kids. Then my dad ended up in the penitentiary when I while I was in the twelfth grade. So I ended up losing my dad and my mom decided to move back to Tennessee.

I didn’t do well losing my father. I don’t think any of us really did cause it absolutely wrecked our family. My mom had so many kids and she then was thrust into having to survive a really difficult life. But with miraculous faith I saw my mom put herself through college and raise seven kids at the same time. It was a four-year college too. She is now an X Ray Technician giving mammograms and things like that.

I did not choose that path, instead I went to the streets and drugs. I had a hard time with going to jail too. I have been arrested probably twenty times! My mom tried her best to get me back on the right path, but I stole from her and I stole from my brothers. I never could really seem to get back on the right path.

Eventually a lot of people started dying around me. I started doing drugs with them and they started passing away from overdoses. I lost two girlfriends which really upset my stature and who I was because I knew I was not raised that way. I knew I was not supposed to be that way.

I was raised in the church too. I was doing drugs with the people I went to church with. Just a few weeks ago a guy I went to church with for 25 years just passed away. He is about the last friend I had too. My biggest problem was having friends pass away and I had such difficulty with that. But I just turned to more drugs and more drugs.

One time my father had gotten out of the penitentiary, and I asked him to come get me. He agreed and I remember telling him, “Dad, I don’t have much of anybody left”. “I really need to change my whole life.” Well, he ended up coming to get me with his girlfriend. They brought me down to Florida and I was doing ok for about eight months.

Then I started messing up again and getting back into drugs. It actually ends up getting worse than what it was before. I started doing massive amounts of drugs and I really didn’t know just what to do at that point.

So I decide to come to Loving Hands. But eight months before that I met a guy in I-Hop back when I was doing drugs at Dade City. I met a gentleman who was sitting at the counter. He looked like he had the touch of God on him. He was praying for me and loving on me. He was telling me about God and that He could change anything, but I am not really listening to him because I am so high at the time. He understood. So I don’t see this guy again for a pretty long time. Well I decided to come to Loving Hands but I get into some trouble.

I get into a fist fight with my younger brother while helping my mom to move because I am drinking. We get into a fight, and I end up in jail again. This is the day before I am supposed to go to Loving Hands too. On the 20th of last year, I was supposed to go to Loving Hands but on the 19th I ended up getting put in jail for fist fighting my brother. After that, my Mom bails me out of jail. I have never had my mom bail me out of jail before, I have always had to sit in jail for quite some time.

When I got out of jail the same guy from the I-Hop came to pick me up. He was actually from the Dade City Loving Hands, and I was arrested in Lay County, which is two hours away from Dade City. Now that is my God Story that really changed my life. That He would actually have somebody I did not even know come pick me up. I didn’t even know his name and God had him pick me up. I thought it was the craziest thing.

We are sitting in the car driving to Dade City because I thought we were going to Dade city at first. I did not know I was going to Palmetto instead. We start looking at each other and we are like, we know each other! That is the craziest thing, see how God works. This has to be God. It really was! That is my good God story that gives me a 100% guarantee I have a real God working in my life.

So ever since then I have done my probation. Usually I would not complete it and just go back to jail, but not this time. My Mom is so excited to see where my life is headed now. I saw her the other day and she was like, “you are where you need to be you need to stay in there.”

I would be scared to leave out of here cause my mom would probably come find me. She has done it before. She has been known to do that for me. I would be out on the streets and her not even living in Florida, and she would come find me! A mothers love.

Now I am past a year, and everything is going great. In the courtroom when I did my probation, it was the first time I had ever seen people congratulate someone for going in the ministry. We got a standing ovation for the Lord whenever we told them I went into a Bible based program. Even the judge stood up and started clapping! It says in the Bible that every knee shall bow. He is God, Jesus is King! It is awesome to see and experience that.

My Bible verse I will leave you with is 1 Peter 5:10-11: 1Pet 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 1Pet 5:11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
