A transformed life is the greatest need of the world today. With all the brokenness and pain in people's lives, a transformed life provides hope and healing and the evidence that total change is possible. After three years of using drugs, my life was devastated. They had to give me shock treatment therapy and tie me in a strait jacket. Satan was not just a theoretical concept but had total control of my life. Demons not only controlled me, but they were using me to hurt other people. I was not only using but also selling marijuana, opium, hashish, cocaine, heroin, LSD, and pills of every kind. My life was totally self-centered. The saddest thing about the drugs was that it was destroying every relationship in my life. I became cynical of my parents, my brother, my sister, my girlfriend, my teachers, and friends. I didn't trust anyone. It was at this time that I heard John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." That moment I put my trust in Jesus Christ and God to forgive me and to save me from all my sin. I began to read the Bible and saturate my thoughts with the Word of God. This was the key that began to transform my life. The Holy Spirit of God used the Holy Word of God to transform me into the image of the Holy Son of God. My philosophy of life was being transformed as God explains in Romans: I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect (Romans 12:2). We are beggars who found bread. We want to tell other beggars where to find it. That's why we share these stories of transformation. That's why I began Transformation Life Center twenty-five years ago. We found the bread of life-Jesus Christ and want to share it with others who are hungry. We sat at the feet of Jesus and like the demoniac in Luke 8 we were transformed. Spiritually, physically, mentally, domestically, and socially we were transformed. Now we are telling others what great things Jesus did for us. Tom Mahairas
