Hello all ,

I was a very sinful person before I changed through the grace of God .
Addicted to : sex and orgies , drugs , alcohol , pornography and full of bitterness and rage and hate . satan had many strongholds in my life they came on gradually and i slowly drifted away from Jesus and Mother Mary . There was always a shimmer of hope because i believe in angels and that they are messengers , deliverers and guardians to us all . My many angel pictures and statues and the cross of Christ all helped set me free , not to forget Mother Mary whom i love dearly .

So heres how it all went down . Many of my so called friends were having psychiatric breaks and maybe demon posession or at least opression . I walked in on 3 different ones on seperate occasions who were apparently alone , but having full on conversations , with who or what i am not sure , but my educated guess is evil spirits that came as angels of light . One of them when i stayed at his place in sinful San Francisco (I hate that evil city) was very cruel to me verbally and screamed horrible things at me , i saw satan in him . Any ways that day he said he saw his dead grandma floating above the bed we were sleeping on , how bizzar is that ? He was coming down from Meth and it wasn't pretty . Then one other time that i had a bunch of nasty people over one of them was on GHB and thats some wicked stuff , he tossed and turned and rolled around in my recliner like the demons were beating him up or something it was a hideous sight , i thought for sure he would die . And one other time that i was smoking meth with a so called friend he and i were taking pictures , some good some not so good . In one of the digital pictures a white arm came out of the wall near an angel picture towards me , i didn't see it , but in the picture i sure did it was translucent (could see through it) I blew it up large on the computer and there was as clear a picture as i have ever seen in the hand of ? Maybe God or maybe my Guardian angel ? He was holding something and offering it to me , we never could quite figure out what it was . Maybe it was the gift of Gods grace , love and forgiveness ? Of this I do not know , however , I decided this had gone far too far out of control and i begged Jesus for MERCY MERCY AND MORE MERCY and in one day He in His magnificence forgave a filthy sinner healed me of every addiction , sin and vice and stronghold of the devil . I changed my phone number and dropped all my friends and moved on Praise God for His Mercy . That was 5 years ago and i can honestly say that i am a different person now . I go to Mass almost daily and recieve the body and blood of Christ after 1st going to confession (about once a week) These practices of love towards God and His love towards me have set me a vile sinner free so i can spend eternity with the Lord in Heaven , through His grace and precious blood . What a friend we have in Jesus .

"Greater love than this , no man hath , then that he should lay down his life for his friends"

"A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter such as he who finds God finds"

I am very alone here now in SanDiego and I choose to have no close friends because I don't trust people any more , but i offer it to Jesus every day in attonment as penance and for the salvation of other sinners like my wretched self .

God be praised , Remember He loves you dearly , If He could love and forgive me the greatest of sinners , He can surely love and forgive you too .

Look up Jesus is Coming Soon It'll be the greatest air lift in history when He raptures us the church , oh how i look foreward to that wonderful day .
Pray for peace in Jerusalem and the middle east , Armageddon may be SOON .
Ryan

Ryan,
Praise God! What a wonderful conversion story. He does love us so much. I was in the dark world of addiction, too. I am grateful, and thank Him and Our Mother Mary every day for bringing me back from living in hell. You are an inspiritation to those suffering from addiction. I believe it is one of satan's most powerful tools. Such a sad, lost, dark and lonely life. I will keep you in my prayers.
Peace,
Patty, AR, USA

Ryan,

Thanks for posting your conversion story. I am confident that there are many lost people out there in cyberspace who will come across this story and change their lives because of what they read.

Your conversion story really was moving. I'm so glad to hear you are back from that dark world. I know - I was in a very dark place myself not that long ago. And praise to God I too had a conversion experience 5 years ago. Although you say you are alone -- you are not. You are in my prayers. God bless you.

Ryan,

That is a powerful story! You must have much more strength than the average person, to overcome the strong vices which held you. This is a story to rejoice about!

You say you have no friends now...you have them here! And also, this may be a temporary situation, needed to continue on your healing and faith journey. Don't shut yourself off from the world, though. Perhaps through church or some other NON DRUG/ALCOHOL/EVIL - related way, you will meet a person who may turn out to be a good friend. Just keep yourself open to it, and if it is God's will, He will send someone into your life.

Good luck and God Bless You!!

Ryan! I am blown away...your story left me speechless...your's is truly the story of God's Divine Mercy. Jesus is now your friend. You will never be alone again. I will pray that Jesus surrounds you with christian friends that live near you. And as was said, we, too, are now your friends. God Bless you, Ryan...it took courage to share what you did and I am going to print it because I have a feeling that some day someone who comes across my path may need to see your words. Take care, Ryan.

I can relate to a certain part of your story Ryan - the po*nography part. I live a daily battle against p*rnography. I hope that God will also heal me of these urges.

Thanks for sharing your story

Wow this is holy ground. All these confessions to the world...well done, ryan and stunned. I was in a dark and lonely place for a number of years and it involved cannabis (thank God only that drug) and other things so I also understand.

You may need time to lick your wounds and heal but try to come round to being open to other people and I'm sure you will find friends eventually. Don't reject people for the rest of your life. There are trustworthy people out there!

:) I have just typed out a thread for this subject, but i done something wrong by pressing the wrong button.As it is late, i will keep it brief.
The thread fro Ryan touched my heart, Ryan and Stunnedbyit and all others have my special prayers. i have already prayed for you all as i was going through the threads
Ryan and Stunnedbyit, take strength from everyones prayers--prayer
can move mountains. Have you got the miraculous medal/ Ryan and Stunned--try and get hold of one and say the prayer often throughout the day--O Mary, concieved without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee
Mother Mary will make you strong love to all mcikath xxx :D
