My name is Maurice Wisdom Bishop and I am 28 years old currently serving in the U.S. Army. This is my story.
I deployed in Iraq for 13 months. While I was there a soldier in my unit shot himself with an M-16 and the 5.56mm round hit him in the quadrum of his heart and he died. I felt so much guilt because I was one of the soldiers that made fun of him and I blamed myself. I was very affected and hid my emotions inside.
After my 13 month deployment my ex baby mama called me unexpectedly after 6 months of not calling me on Skype nor emailing me and told me my 1year old son died. She never even told me about the funeral. I became angry and my heart grew cold. I had nightmares from my deployment and my dead son and couldn’t sleep so I started smoking a lot, drinking a lot of beer, brown liquor and wine just to go to sleep. That night I became an alcoholic. I was a smoker at age 12. I became reckless and violent.
Emotionally I couldn’t function so the relationships I was in always failed. I was married and ended up in a bad divorce. I didn’t communicate with my family because I felt like they couldn’t help me and I didn’t get along with them. I felt alone and was suicidal many times. I stabbed myself in my leg, tried cutting my chest, and my arm. I even mixed a few percocets in my glassed filled Hennessy. I even became homeless and had to survive in the streets. Because I had a bad reputation of mistreating women, a woman who I use to sleep with sent 3 of her cousins that just came out of jail (attempted murder) to kill me. I was chased and even shot at but I’ve managed to survive.
I’ve moved out of Philly to Lindenwold, New Jersey trying to start my life over but trouble always found me. I remember telling God to change my life and making me the man he wants me to be. Nothing miraculous happened except I kept reading and studying the bible and I was going to church. I’ve stop smoking, drinking, fighting, mistreating women, and hating people and never knew it. I am in great relationship with my parents and family.
With that being said, my life did a 360 change. God changed my life completely. I have a home, a career, I sleep well and I’m free from alcohlism and smoking. I even received a second chance in life and married again to my beautiful wife Jakerra and my step son Amari. I’m a published author of Blood on Paper & Pain Living In My Pen/Poet and I use my story/poetry to change lives.
If anybody doesn’t know Jesus, please get to know him for yourself.

Hello
My name is Andrei Isayeu
Can you please share my Testimony with everyone in your Church as well as outside of your Church?
I would like to share my Testimony of what Jesus has done for me!!!
Jesus has set me free from all addictions that I have been struggling with, all my life. Jesus made my broken heart into a brand new heart and He filled my heart with His love, joy, peace, grace, and freedom from sin.
Jesus poured so much love upon me that I can’t even explain to you because His love is what I desperately needed and was looking for in all of my life. I realized that I was desperately in need of Someone Who can love me so much unconditionally.
Jesus showed me the most Perfect and Unconditional Love that Healed me, Changed me, Delivered me, Cleansed me from all the junk that Satan has put on me. I was in chains of sin for all my life until Jesus came into my life and broke all the chains of guilt, shame, depression, anger, bullying, fear, loneliness, curses, and much more.
God has set me free through His son Jesus Christ because in
John 8:36 it says:
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
God changed me through His Word and Holy Spirit and made me into the person.
Hebrews 4:12 says:
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
I Praise and Thank God Almighty for His son Jesus Christ and for Holy Spirit that was sent to these hopeless world to bring Hope to all people.
My Prayer of Repentance: Dear Jesus Christ, I come to you at this time. I realize that I am a sinner and I really need your forgiveness. I caused you so much pain and distressed you many times. Please, I ask you to forgive me all of my sins that I have ever committed in my life. I thank you so much for all that you did for me by giving me Salvation and Eternal Life. I Honor you Heavenly Father for giving your only begotten Son Jesus for punishment, and death 2000 years ago. I Glorify You Heavenly Father for raising your son Jesus Christ from the dead on the 3rd day. I receive you Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. Please come into my life and into my heart and change me. I believe in everything that says in Your Holy Word, my Savior and my Lord Jesus Christ. I make a decision from today to fully commit myself to you and to serve you with all of my life. Amen.
I have been Born Again from the God’s Word the Bible and Holy Spirit because
in John 3:5 it says this:
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
