Audio Proof: The Way of the Transgressor is Hard

Been a wild last few days. Had a backslider walk away from God a few years ago... dove into a rough life with the perception that he was invincible. He wasn't; this audio file proves it.

Gang warfare at it's finest. His 'homies' left him for dead with 9 'OO' buckshot from a 12 gauge shotgun buried in him. He's alive but in very bad shape with a shattered elbow, multiple perforated intestines and various other parts mangled.

Now he lies in a hospital room tormented and telling his brother (my Media Ministry director) to stay close to him because the 'demons' won't come in when his righteous brother is there.

Amazing how they say, "I'm not going far; I'm just not going to come to Church all the time." They most always eventually go too far.

Sad. The way of the transgressor is hard... and here is the proof: HERE

Sad story Steadfast. So true as well.

Thank God he is still alive.

Is there any indication about turning back to God?

Obviously at this point he's kind of wishing he hadn't walked away!

Just got a call (it's almost 1:30 AM) begging us to pray as it doesn't look good for him and they say there is such an evil heaviness troubling him.

SO sad.

It rains on the just and on the unjust. Sometimes the way of the Christian is also hard...

Only if you are focused on the current events instead of the eternal savior!

Not really PhilJones. That is true to some extent, but I don't think anyone breezes through cancer, death or tragedy whether they are focusing on God or not. I believe that God gives the Christian a peace and a path to follow that the non-Christian does not have, but the way of the Christian is not just easy-breezy all the time.

I think the point is that people who stay in the church generally don't participate in gang violence, ILG.

I never said it was easy-breezy. I did say that it is not the same as the way of the transgressor for the child of God is possessed of the promises of God and borne up and comforted in them. Jesus said, my yoke is easy and my burden is light! We are overcomers not succumbers. We are victors not victims. There is no way we can equate the way of the transgressor and the way of the child of God!

This is sad Steadfast.

But why are not asking for prayer for this man?

It almost appears that you a happy to have a terrible testimony of "I told you so"

Why the audio?
