Greetings And Salutations

[Jerry R]

Good morning and thank you for allowing me to join your board.

I am a retired counselor/consultant, Master Practitioner of NLP (neuro linguistic programming) but more important I am the recipient of the grace, mercy, and redemptive power of an almighty God who is willing to save all who come to him.

I won't put a long testimony here other than to say I was orphaned at birth, rushed out of the hospital so quickly they didn't sign a birth certificate. I was adopted at about 4 years of age (purchased would be a more descriptive term) and grew up going to church every Sunday, in a pharasee type church based on performance. I have always believed that there was a real God, but I knew I wasn't good enough for Him to like me and I didn't care much for Him putting me in this situation.

After drinking, drugging myself close to death, through Divine Intervention I discovered sobriety. After working and trying to make God happy for the next 6 years, Jesus came to me. You can enter a Toby Mac song, When Love Broke Through here.

At any rate I live in Alaska, in a little cabin, about 75 miles or so north of Anchorage. God bless you all and thank you again for letting me join.

Welcome to the forums @Jerry R
Thank you for sharing, hope you will enjoy it here. Here is another song by Keith Green titled "Your Love Broke Through"
See you around.

Welcome, Jerry! After doing the inner-pain numbing thing for far too long, the Lord dealt with me. I think I was more stubborn than most, unfortunately for me! Ouch. But He has proven faithful to me also. This song will tell you a bit about me. Welcome aboard!

Isn't it so wonderful how HE does that??? and then .... JESUS came to me.... Those are the most powerful and precious of testimonies.
WELCOME here.

How very interesting! My father in law was a practitioner also. I don't run into this very often.

Much love!

Hi Jerry and Welcome.
Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself.
Interesting where men lead us, where we lead ourselves, and what God puts in our path to give us that ah ha realization.

May God Bless you abundantly,

[Jerry R]

Thank you very much one and all for the blessed warm welcome. Of course I am totally new here so I have
a lot to explore and discover. But like all Godly things, what a wonderful adventure it shall be. I have a lot
of writings from my studies which I hope to share also.

FYI ... the little cabin that is my avatar is where I actually live. It is a dry cabin, heat with wood, but I have electricity.

God bless you all and thank you again.
Jerry

Hi Sir; great looking little cabin there that gives you seclusion to pursue prayer and the Scriptures, right?

Greetings @Jerry R welcome to Christianity Board.


Looking forward to your posts...

Hello, thank you and it is a really well built cabin. Very tight and weather proof. And yes it does provide for very beneficial study and prayer time. You can pretty much shut the worlds' issues out, not totally, but to a point. I've grown so much in the time that I have been here.

 

[Brakelite]

Great testimony to the grace of God. On another note, do we need to take extra care in reading your posts, guarding against any NLP residue?

Likely because not so many would admit to it. A professor in a university isn't likely to confess his skills and stymie any future career prospects would he lol

Lucky you Oh how I'd love to live in a little log cabin, away from all the drama of the modem world.

Hi Jerry R.,

Welcome to the forums!

He hasn't been seen since September 24th. I hope he comes back. Maybe he got snowed in.

I have a sister that lives in Central, Alaska.
