Praise the Lord ....Praise the Lord..I am so happy to be here. I haven't always been in church. I want to share some of my background, where I came from, and what Jesus has done for me. I grew up in a home where my dad drank and we never knew what he would do or if he would even be home. I married young at barely 17 to a man who was 37 at the time. We had one daughter and I had one before I was married. After about 11 years of doing drugs both of us and his selling drugs God began to deal with us in a mighty way. I remember He used to cry when someone would talk to him about God but then he would laugh when they left...Then one day God began to deal with me stronger and stronger and I was so burnt out on drugs I began to pray Lord please get me and my girls out of here if he's not gonna serve you I will if you get us out. That was almost 16 years ago now. I remember well hearing these two voices arguing over my soul out loud. It really scared but what scared me more was I had this feeling within that I was gonna make a decsion that day that would affect the rest of my life. It did and I am now going on 16 years this april serving Jesus and He's never failed me..never left me..I was in an awful shape and didn't have a good mind because the drugs had destroyed it. I came from the bottom...but praise the Lord for restoration. I have a good sound mind and Jesus delivered me from every demon within and set me on the rock...after I repented, was baptized in Jesus Name for remission of my sins, and receieved the gift of the holy ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues Acts 2:38...My life has never been better. Jesus gave me a good holy ghost man 2 years after I was filled with the Holy ghost who serves Jesus with me and we both are ministers for Jesus. From a doper to a minister thats what Jesus can do and I give JESUS all the praise and all the glory..I been to the bottom but praise the Lord I am striving to reach heaven at the top....I have such a desire to serve jesus and to seek him and for the things of him...Our God is so awesome and what's good is he never changes and stays the same and never leaves me, neither will he forsake me....and I want to get myself in the place I need to be with Jesus so I can take Jesus back to the dopers, the drunkards, and the devil possessed and I dont' want to miss a soul that Jesus sends me to. That's my vision to see the hungry souls out there saved...

Oh What A Debt I Owe…Given by Jesus...Written by Mattie Qualls 6-1-07
I once was so lost I could not see….
Then a voice began calling me…
He said come..I am knocking …at your hearts door..
Things will be changing..to better than before…
So I ran…so scared..as hard as I could
I didn’t heed Jesus ….and didn’t do what he said I should
But he kept knocking, patiently waiting for my surrender…
And then one day…I finally gave in….
(CHORUS)
Oh what a debt I owe..Oh what a debt he paid..
He took the sins of this old world on his shoulder…
He sought me and loved me…He kept pleading for me..
And I finally let Jesus…. come in….
Now I am no more sad and lonely…
I am no more miserable and hurting..
For Jesus is my comfort..he’s my dearest friend..
And I know that he will be with me..If I hold to him til the end…
He filled me with the holy ghost ..when I truly repented..
He gave me a sound mind and a heart of flesh…
He filled me with peace past understanding…
And now his mercy I find are new each day and afresh…
Repeat chorus
Oh what a loving Savior…Oh what a loving God I serve
He loved me, He pleaded and didn’t give me what I deserve..
But he loved me and knocked til I let him in my heart..
And I know he won’t leave me…if from him I don’t depart…
His promises are faithful..My God Jesus is true…
He won’t never leave us, neither will he forsake us too
As long as I hold to his..unchanging hand..
Jesus for me ..til eternity will stand……..
