"UNSHACKLED!"


For anyone who has not heard this yet - it is my father's testimony - broadcasted on radio by Pacific Garden Mission in August of 2002.

I listened to this program as a little kid so many times and dreamed of daddy one day being on there. I used to ask him all the time to do it.
Jer. 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

I like to listen to the program on our local Christain radio station-I didn't know that your Dad's had been braodcasted! Thanks for posting!

I just realized I mispelled Christian in my prior comment-so I had to make the correction!

It has been many years since I listened to this. I just got done listening to it again. I think it means so much to me because I lived through seeing Daddy as a lost man and then a saved man. Not only did I see the change that salvation brought but the change that growing in the knowledge of the Lord through his word has brought. 2Co 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

Thank you, Saundra and Jo...I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great verse, Kristin...and I thought the same thing when I was a child listening to "Unshackled".

Thank you Candace for putting my story on the blog. When our Dear precious Lord Jesus saved a worthless selfish bum like me, HE proved to all the other worthless selfish bums of the world that HE loves them too and is ready to bestow HIS eternal forgivness on them as well....IF ANY OF MY GRANDKIDS LISTEN TO MY STORY, PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES...I caused alot of pain and suffering to my dear parents, i was a bad influence on alot of my "buddies" and some of them are dead already without ever getting saved....before i was saved i thought about commiting suicide myself...i can only see out of one eye now & my neck is sore and painful everyday.(SIN will wreck your life)....But praise God My dear Lord Jesus saved me!!!...FOR ANYONE THAT LISTENS TO MY STORY---DONT BE DECIEVED BY THE GLITTER OF SIN--->BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS EARLY IN LIFE AS POSSIBLE and HE will give you a NEW LIFE.

I've listened to this several times now. Eric and I listened to it again last night. It's such an encouragement to know how the Lord can not only save you but continue pouring blessings out on you for the rest of your earthly life.

Cathy Owens told me at church that she has listened to Daddy's testimony and received such a blessing from it.
