I reflect on the past and present and looking into the future I can see a bright light at the end of the tunnel for those who desire to "cause that man in the mirror to make a change for the betterment of this world ". I believe that Michael was crying out for help and the help he needed is what I have found, when I too cried out many years ago. I found the peace that surpasses ALL human understanding, joy that is ongoing and unceasing and such love that no man can duplicate. I found my true self in Jesus Christ. I began to read the King James Version of the bible for the first time in my life and in there I found the answers to all of my questions. However, I had to give up all earthly desires, to receive this peace of mind. No amount of prescribed drugs, alcohol, parties, sex, fame or fortune made me feel this good inside. I never attended AA or NA. All I had was the written Word of God and I eat the words on those pages. There is an answer to every problem, if only we would follow it. I decided to test God at His Word and found Him to be true to what is written. After awhile, I found that the demons began to leave my mind one one by one. They left as I told them what is written in the bible and the promises of protection I received from my God. I began to follow Jesus Christ and obey His teachings and found that His yoke is indeed easy and His burden is truly light, because He helps me and He has promised to help everyone who will believe in Him.
So you see, I tried listening to God through His Word and then and only then, I found peace. I realize I had to make a choice to give up the things that the demons offered me and now I claim victory over my mind by using the Written Word which became my ammunition.
I am writing this in faith that those who get the opportunity to read this will come to the conclusion that the only way to have peace is to follow Jesus Christ through His Word, and then you too will have victory over the demons that are persecuting your minds. All you need to do is call His name and ask Him to help you. I pray that Michael's dream of "changing that man in the mirror comes true for many".
With lots of love to all humanity
