Summary

My name is Elijah, and I grew up in a Christian home yet fell into bitterness and rebellion as a teenager. I turned to drugs, starting with Oxycontin and eventually heroin, pushing away my family and nearly destroying my marriage. I overdosed multiple times—once on 16th Street in my car and another time in a hotel—each time encountering God’s voice telling me “not yet.” Eventually, I ended up in jail where I cried out to God. He met me powerfully, giving me visions and saving me from the destructive path I was on. After being miraculously released early from jail, I gave my life fully to Jesus. My marriage was restored, and I was able to travel on missions to Africa, sharing the power of God’s love and healing. Today, I run my own business, remain free from addiction, and continue surrendering every day to the Lord. My story is a testament to His amazing grace and the hope He offers us, no matter how broken our past.
