Cassette tapes of Richard Jackson that I found in the chapel at
Fort Grant prison changed my attitude and gave me the relationship I needed in Christ to overcome addiction. Tapes were from NPBC were I attended with my family as a teenager I was a rebellious teenager. In and out of jail and prison until my last prison sentence on 7/11/10. Arrested over 20 times in my life. I’m on my 3rd prison term of 5 years.
15 years I had a hope that God was the answer to my problems. Having various lengths of sobriety but now after 5 years of sobriety a 2 year relapse ends me.
Richards tapes gave me a clear understanding of salvation. That Jesus Christ in me is the power I need. I listened to tapes on Romans 3,4,5,6,7,8. Over and ove. Even writing some out word by word.
Getting out of prison 8 years ago i was I a seemingly hopeless situation. Oweing the courts 43,000 dollars and child support 98,000 dollars.
I’ve been sober 12 years now, made my last payments on my court and child support a few months ago and own my home. Thank you
Jesus. Nothing I could ever do. Jesus is my redeemer. Jesus is my lord. Jesus lives in me and cleaned me up.
Thank you Richard Jackson. And Richard Jackson family.
I left the tapes on the doorstep of the prison the day I left. I have the sermons I wrote out and they are a continual reminder of Jesus’s strength not mine.
I experience depression (my thorn) my business is not doing well. But I’m again being pruned of pride. That Jesus may be the power of my life. It’s all about Jesus.
Love you Richard.
