I was clean...but I wasn't inside

“I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you."  Isaiah 44:22

Mike always knew about religion, but now He knows about the God who wants a relationship with him, AND has a purpose for his life. Mike shows what the joy of the Lord truly is. We are grateful for his partnership with the Promise FM and for his willingness to share part of his story. 

“I’ve always known about a God ... but I was so messed up in my addiction, you know, because with God you’ve got to follow rules. I was going through my own issues with anger and I just woke up one day and I just felt guilty, because I knew there was a God."

“I came up here to get sober and walked into the sheriff’s office. I’m from Florida so I asked where Salvation Army was or someplace I could sleep at until I could figure out how I was gonna get back to Florida. I still struggled with the addiction in the shelter. I guess from there on I struggled a little bit more, and I ended up getting clean and I’ve been clean for 4 years now."

“And then just recently, in the last 4 months, is when I could figure out .. I was clean, things were good, but I wasn’t right inside .. I was always angry, always yelling, I couldn’t stop cussing for anything. And now, thanks to Jesus I don’t cuss.”"Everything I’m learning now and reading my bible and learning what all men are supposed to be. I don’t know. I feel like God has His purpose for me.”

“Me, from going to be a death metal person, all that crazy stuff. That kind of music I used to think put me in a good mood, but all it really did was put even worse thoughts in my head. And now, anytime I’m feeling any kind of anger I go and turn the music up and it takes it away.”
