Only Jesus

No one knows like I know, what the Lord has done and is still doing for me. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone. I gave my life to the Lord on Wednesday October 17th 1979. My Christian walk was the usual experience of a new convert until just about my birthday in 1981. I left the church and was out until 1990.
Yes I was the prodigal son for nine tumultuous years where the devils never stopped stealing all they could from me, and tried to kill and destroy me. I reached rock bottom in June of 1990 when my mother advised me to call on Jesus because only he can help me.

I took my mother's advice and when I called on Jesus, He did come. It was a midnight cry and I knelt by my bedside crying for a very long time. I felt the cleansing power of Jesus as the past nine years passed before my tearing eyes. During my backslidden years I felt like I had lived for over fifty years on this earth when I was only a youth or young man.

The very year I restored my fellowship to God a federal investigation commenced in my life to my surprise. I was not aware of this though until twelve years later. It is almost twenty-five years since it started and I am still here a free man through the power of Jesus Christ.

God brought me to this and He's taking me through it and will take me out of it. The reason for me going through this has been made known to me just as the investigation was made known to me twelve years after it started. It started when my fellowship was restored and since then God has had my full attention to the point where I only move when He tells me to. I went from being brother Moses to Elder Moses and has been in ministry for seventeen years now. A minister in training from 1998 to 2000; a minister from 2000 and an elder since 2004.

Had God not taken me to this federal investigation I know He would not have got my attention as He wanted. I would be straddling the fence, fooling around and sinning, thinking it's ok to just be saved and not pay attention to His calling.

I know there are hard core gunmen from Kingston, Jamaica who feel they were disrespected by me and would have sought to kill me had God not placed this shield around me using men and women conducting this investigation.

There's also instances where I hear and see crimes happening and knew if it were not for this investigation (which proves I'm not only not directly involved, but totally innocent), I would be a suspect and would probably be harassed by the police or even be arrested.

During the period of this investigation, I've seen governors, mayors, congressmen, senators and other public figures fallen to similar investigations. I've even seen secrets of a president exposed. I've seen others speak of me as though I'm the lowest of the low to throw off suspicion from themselves. Others "chase" me from their presence in a way to make it look like someone of my "reputation" is not welcome around them (thank God I'm in control of my character) while you can see the fear in their eyes because who they really don't want around them are the federal investigators who, should they start to investigate them, too much garbage would be found in their closet that they want no one to know about and this could result in arrest and prosecution.

I thank God for this investigation in my life as it has helped me to grow and mature in Him and has kept me from great harm and possible death. This investigation has been looked on as a curse by many but I, Elder Moses Johnson Sr., who's the subject of this investigation beg to disagree totally. This has been my blessing (as the flees were for Ms. Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom in her cell). This federal investigation has been my stepping stone to God's calling for my life, and the support or springboard for my future in God.  It will be a bittersweet day for me when this ends, I don't want it to continue but I do need it. Thank You my Lord Jesus Christ! You promised never to leave us. Only You Jesus has been with me every step of the way and You only give your Saints what you know is best for us!!!
