That's what I did. My first problem was theology as Jesus said to the Pharisees, "you do not enter and you keep others from entering."
I fixed that problem through much study. Jesus also said, "enter through the narrow gate".
That was the hard part. The narrow gate was so short and narrow that a camel had to be striped of its cargo before it could be pushed through. I went through that gate as naked as a camel!
God wanted me stripped clean before I was allowed to enter.
However, what He built on the other side is the stuff of legend!
Can you imagine this? I was 3yrs homeless in CA (no fault of my own), lost everything and wham--I'm living on the oceanfront on the North Shore of Maui; surfing in my backyard, fishing from my hammock, got a great job, and married!!! True story way beyond dreams!
It took Him 3yrs to prepare that for me while I did nothing because I could do nothing! He supplied everything necessary, and I waited...and waited learning to walk by faith in the hope of His promises. It is heartbreaking to be so badly judged as a sinner by your church people. Yet, the vindication was sooo sweet!
Isn't it awesome how God can take people from the garbage dump and make them to reside with princes (1 Samuel 2:6) and while we wait on Him... He takes the time for one who is willing to receive and put in the faith work, to teach them in the way that brings them to a place where they can minister His grace to others via Testimonies like yours associated with the truth of the Word.
God bless you and your wife! Thank you for sharing your testimony!
