Cooper's Morning Inspirations Elder Tyrone D. Cooper -. Chaplain

My spiritual journey officially began in 2004. Earlier in my life, when I was in my late twenties, I had an epiphany. God showed up early one Sunday morning, which changed my life. I wanted to live right and (try) to do all the right things. I started going to church and searching for meaning in my life. This experience did not last that long. There was no one to counsel, mentor, or share in this revelation with me. This experience reminds me of Luke 19: 10-For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. On Saturday April 28, 2004, I had an epiphany with the God. I had prayed all-day and all night for God to come into my life and change my situation. It was around midnight when God Himself came into my bedroom, (early Sunday morning). The room was filled with his Glory. I tried with everything within me to open my eyes, but was unable to. His presence was as real as the nose on my face. He took me on a journey to see which direction I was headed. If I would have died that night, God revealed to me that I would have gone to hell. He asked me to choose; whether to serve Him or the devil, and I said, YES to His will and His way(s). I have come to realize that God is always working in our lives. He has been molding and shaping me in His image since I was born. (Isaiah 64:8- Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the Potter; we are the work of Your hand.
