Testimony of Aaron Livers
YouTube Channel: Baltimore Drug Dealer Gives His Life to Jesus
(Testimony)
“Colossians 3:4, Christ is my life; He is my life. He’s my Master. He’s not just my Savior, but He is my Lord. So, whatever He says, I do. He’s my heartbeat; the reason why I’m here; the reason why I live; my joy; my peace; my ambition; the reason why I get up and go; and serious about doin' what He called me to do. He’s truly my Redeemer, like, in every area of my life, when it comes down to my life, my wife, the things that I get to do for Him. Whatever’s His business, whatever it is, I get to do it all for Him. So, He’s everything, everything.
I got words for two different type of people.
So, the first people would be the Christian – the CHRISTian. I know we pray this prayer and we believe that when we pray this prayer, that that’s just it, like, I got my ticket. Oh, I got mine. I’m not gonna go to Hell. I’m gonna go be with God.
But, I would say honestly, a lot of times, we depend on like, you know, the Sunday or the pastor preached this Gospel, or preached whatever message they’re preaching. And, we felt like, because we feel good, that He is good. But, when you really think about what Jesus said, like, ‘Why you callin' me, Lord, Lord, if you don’t do what I say?’
He said He lookin' for followers, followers.
And, ask yourself that question. Are you really a follower? Because He even talked about people in the last day say; people gonna say, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t I prophecy in Your name; didn’t I cast devils out in Your name; didn’t I work these miracles in Your name.’
And, He gonna say, get away from Me; I never knew you. I never was intimate with you. You ain’t puttin' me first in your decisions. You ain’t alignin' your purposes with My will. You just did these things so that people could see what you could be doin'. I wasn’t Lord; I was just the ‘Get out of Hell card.’
Why would you want to be with Me when you never was with Me?
Why would you want to enter into My rest in My Kingdom when you wasn’t really focused on the King?
Why you want My benefits, but you don’t want Me?
So, I would say, you know, repentance is the most beautiful word that you could ever see.
Repentance is a beautiful word.
Don’t look at it like John the Baptist. Even when he was sayin', ‘Repent!’ That was love. That was love. I don’t care how ugly he looked; how much dreadlock, whatever he looked like, that was love.
So, ya, I would say that to the believer. Make sure you really, you know, make sure you’re really a disciple. Make sure you’re really operating in the Sonship.
And, to the unbeliever, this is the things that we both know. The cars, they ain’t fulfillin' you. The houses ain’t fulfillin' you. The clothes ain’t fulfillin' you. Your life ain’t been fulfilled. You almost feel like a fish out of water. You feel like a bird that can’t fly. You know somethin' is missin'.
I knew somethin' was missin' my whole life. I knew it. I knew it.
I knew I was created for more.
You know you’re created for more.
But the thing is, if a man don’t have Jesus; a woman don’t have Jesus, we self destruct and we smash everything about our life and we live outside of our purpose and we just consistently keep going for more. And, then, when we’re about to die, we’re ask’in people for prayer; we’re ask’in people for all these different things. We want to start connecting to God. And, you feel like you know somethin' missin'.
So, I would just say to any unbeliever, like, recognize, like, the biggest problem with mankind is sin; us waking up every day for our own purpose.
So, because the biggest problem with mankind is sin, Jesus came to deal with that, so that we could be right back in relationship with God the Father.
He ain’t just died so we could go to Heaven. He died so we could be back in covenant and back in relationship with God the Father.
You don’t have that relationship with God, don’t deceive yourself by thinkin' that you can acknowledge Him at times. God made, He made a way and He made a way through Christ Jesus. And, that opportunity is right here for you today.
That you can have the Lord and the Lord can have you and you can be fulfilled in everything.
I honestly can tell you, right now, when I had my encounter with the Lord, I didn’t have everything; I didn’t have it all together. I felt like I had a trillion dollar check that I couldn’t cash. I didn’t understand what was goin' on with me. I felt like I, everything, all this peace, all this joy, everything that you’re missin'. So, I would say, I’m not gonna say, give Jesus a try. I’m gonna say, give Him your life and follow Him, because you don’t know what you’re missin'.”
