Romans 7:24 : My Birth & Rebirth
'O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?'
None have I yet, from my days so young, met in the pastures of my life and its
weeds. None hat met my plead nor steer for righteousness to bring me to the
light from this shaded skin and flesh. 'O wretched man that I am! Who shall
deliver me from the body of this death?'
That is my plead in motto; My forefront from sin. Sin - the wrong introduced
from the law; The law that shames the gospel; The gospel of Jesus Christ. Back
at when the day of Pentacost came and at when the Crucifixion Day fell; Hope
rose. The law was appended, but God's word never died, it prevailed.
Back at 'Day 1' in my life, I was born of a natural birth - A sinner. Just a fat little
sinner. I would toil with my birth parents and just get on their nerves! To cry 'n fret
when nothing's wrong. To eat and eat and eat and eat. And as we all know, when
we eat a lot, we "leave a lot" behind. But sneaking past the early years, to about
the 5-7 ages, I'd do the most craziest things, and boy did I get some whippings!
But those whippings led me to myself, and someone opened my eyes and found
me. 'O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?'
That question empowered me - and had me wondering. But someone had
found me. He saved me from a life of destruction. On June 17, 2001, age 8, I
went down in the Water of Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and that same
day, I spoke in tongues - God filled me and delivered me.
June 17, 2001, God wrote the obituary of Gavin D. Sumter - the sinner, and He
wrote the birth certificate of Gavin D. Sumter - the Holy Son & Child of God. 'O
wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?'
I'm proud to say that God has delivered me!
