July 07, 2006 - 04:49 PM Michael Beard from United States I am so grateful to know that we had a prophet in my generation. Since my release from jail when I was 42yrs, old. I read some of bro. Branham books in there. That started me to think about god. My mother was a believer in this message. She went to church at the lighthouse tabernacle in Knifley, KY, when she passed away. She looked up into heaven and said it was so beautiful over there. But I had been an alcoholic for 25yrs. I did drugs and every thing you could think of. I was a country boy, that what you had to do to be one I was told. I used to tell mama that church had her brain washed and my other sisters too. They were no better than anyone else, that they just made it up in there mind that they had the holy ghost. I talked about bad all the time until one day god had enough. He took mama, daddy and two of my sisters home. He almost took the whole family. It was the 2nd month later, my wife and child left me. Then I was locked up for D.U.I., child support and me a full-blown alcoholic. On top of that, I went into a depression I wouldn’t even get out of the bed or anything. I would not eat. I lost 90lbs.
