Mark chapter 1, verse 15, the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand.

Repent and believe in the gospel.

I love it.

I love it because without it, we have nothing.

Absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing. I went from a hopeless dope thing to a penitentiary hope dealer.

Because I know that I have been transformed, not reformed, truly transformed.

I came to prison, but yet I'm free.

But I'm glad I'm here because God put me here for a reason to give me right.

And I thank him every day for it. If I got to stay here the rest of my life getting me right, I'll be here.

I was a maniac, and I got extradited to Mississippi for two counts of capital murder.

And I was facing and ultimately received two death penalties. And I was, I think because I was from up north

and my charges were so severe,

I was kept in absolute solitary confinement.

Everything was contraband to me. No books, no radio, no television,

no visitors, no human contact. And I had a Bible. And there was a guy that would come in,

and I can't remember his name, but he would come in on Tuesdays, and he had to set way away from

my cell. Couldn't come near me. And he would tell about Jesus. And I was so unsaved and so wicked.

And I thought, all right, well, I'm going to read the Bible then, and I'm going to tell you about

yourself. And so I read it cover to to cover, over and over and over again.

And looking for contradictions, looking for mistakes,

looking for a way to tell this preacher that I didn't need him and I didn't need God.

Well, after probably the 12th time of reading the Bible cover to cover, I thought, wait a second.
