I was once living a life of rebellion and wanting to do things my way. God brought me into his throne room by allowing me to go through storms in my life.  I had no real peace in my life until God allowed me to go through periods where he could honestly get my attention. God brought me out of my life storms, one by one. I love the relationship that I have with the Lord and I now have a life of joy and peace. God gives wisdom to those that he loves.  I have seen many people's lives changed after they have surrendered their life to God.  It is my belief that anyone can be changed for the better.  It doesn't matter what your issue is. You may have a drug or alcohol problem or maybe your issue is selfishness or anger.  God can and God will change your life, if you will just trust him.  Read my book "In Due Season" (Revelations from God).  Let God through his word minister to you and draw you into a relationship with him that will change your life forever.  You can live in complete joy and peace living a life in the presence of God.
