My name is Eric;
I am an Apache. In Galatians 6:14, the Bible says "But God forbid
that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"NEAR THE CROSS"
"Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain
Free to all – a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary’s mountain.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory every;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river." |

Jesus Christ of Nazareth found me and saved me in prison
ten years ago. For ten years the Lord Jesus has blessed me to see
His love, His power, and His mercy. Ten years ago I was in prison.
Satan (Lucifer) was my god. Budweiser was my god. Jack Daniels was
my god. Geronimo was my hero. Cochise was my hero. The medicine man
was my high priest. My fist was my god. My booze was my god. Then
Jesus came and said, " Eric, I love you. I love you, Eric. I came
that you might have life." Jesus told me who He was – the Son of
God. He came to save me and give me a new life. He told me that
Satan was the enemy. Satan is the father of all lies. Satan was
sending me to the eternal lake of fire to burn and die in hell. But
Jesus saved me from going there. So today, praise God, for the love
and mercy of God I am what I am. I’m born again, filled with the
Spirit of the Lord God. The old Eric died and has passed away.
There’s no more of the old Eric now. I am a new Eric, born again to
love and forgive and have mercy on everybody as my Lord God has
forgiven me and loved me. The Holy Spirit of God reminds me to go
and tell the people that He loves them and wants to forgive them.
And I pray for you that you would get this new life, that you would
be born again, that you would meet Jesus Christ. There’s a place
called heaven for you and me. I thank the Lord that salvation is not
through "Ussen", the Apache god. Salvation is not through the
medicine man. Salvation is not through a church or a man or a woman,
but it is only through Jesus Christ. I thank the Lord that there are
many people who tell us the good news; many people love Jesus
Christ. There are many people who are born again and who bring the
good news to tell us that God so loved the world that He gave his
only begotten Son, so that if we believe in Him, we will not perish
but have everlasting life. I am thankful for the many saints who are
still out there doing the same thing, spreading the gospel of Jesus
Christ. I look to the cross. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, for it is the power of God unto life for everyone who
believes. So I thank the Lord when I look at the cross and remember
that this is where Jesus died for me. That’s where Jesus took my sin
upon Himself, and from there I confess to Him as my Lord and Saviour
that He gave me life. That’s open for you, so just call upon the
name of the Lord, and you shall be saved. God loves us all – all
tribes and all nationalities. The Lord Jesus loves you. God bless
you. ERIC
