The story you are about to read is, all true. Everything in this book really did happen, unto me. Though it may be sad and some parts of it, very shameful, God wants it told, as a teaching. We all live in this world and we all have free will, to roam around this world, making our own choices, in life. God will allow for every one of us, to make our own choices, weather they might be good for us or not. His Spirit can speak unto us all, to avoid drastic consciences or devastating circumstances, to come in play, in our lives because of our choices. The Spirit of God will try to speak to many, to give you a warning but will you be able, to spiritually hear, His small still whispers, as He give them unto you, all through your life, my dear reading friend. I was saved when I was twenty-one years old and I dug right in there spiritually, reading my Bible daily, in much prayer and attending church on a regular basis. Somehow, I truly cannot remember or even know but this one thing, I am out of church and living for the devil, at this point of time in my life. However, continue to read this little book because it is from God, He is just showing you something that happened and is all true, because of being disobedient. This is the only way that I could have ever gotten, out of church. Sin creped in and it is the little foxes that spoil the vine, my dear reading friend. This book is a true story of how I was put in prison and how prison, was my darkest valley and most sorrowful, time of my life. Gods will for this little book, is to paint on the canvas of words, things that could happen to you or that has happened, unto many, down through time. We just don't like, to look at it, in this manner. But truthfully because of sin and disobedience, you never know where you might end up. Some have awaken up, in hell, some in the hospital and many in a state or federal prison, marooned, somewhere, in this big world, of freedom and free choices that God allows for every one of us to make, all on our own because of our free will. Sin can take you where you, do not belong and keep you, a prisoner longer than you really want to stay, imprisoned. Some by millions did not get to go to prison, to continue to live, here on earth. They were cast into outer darkness and buried, in a six-foot grave, somewhere. Where it is finished, for them and there is no more hope. Because their soul was found, undone before God at the time of their departure, of leaving this world but Gods Spirit spoke, unto every one of them. In their valleys and on their mountaintops. God rains on the just and the unjust alike and always will. The Devil And Sin Sent Me To Prison Because of being disobedient, I am now living in sin, the devil tricked me and I am not going to church any more, at this point of time, of my life. Read on and watch how marvelous God truly is, my dear reading friend. I am married and I have two children and I love my, dear wife. This is my second marriage and things are going downhill, in my life because of living, in sin. Gods Spirit is dealing with my heart but I am, so deep in sin that I cannot hear Him, at this time of my life. I am a drug dealer, a drunk, a liar, a thief, a cheat and a brawler and a whore-monger, in life. I have been deceived and I do not even know it because of the spiritual blinder that is upon me, for a season. God's Word does say that sin, is for a season. I am traveling down through life, aimlessly and yet I do not even know it because of being, spiritually blind. My wife is also a drug attic, as I am also, I'm just floating through life, living in all of the deep ditches, of sin. I do not even know that there awaits me, a time of decision or a time for all things, to come to a close, for this season to end. Then for another unwanted season to begin.

About the Author: My name is Pastor Luke L. Chapman. I haven't always been a preacher, quite the contrary. When I was a young teenager everyone always said: "Boy what a good kid Luke is. He is a wonderful young man." Because of a stepfather that had no love for me, my clothes were packed for me and placed on the front porch on Christmas morning. Arrangements were already made for a near friend to pick me up to take me to my real dad's home. This became a cycle unto me. I learned soon to take flight in life, realizing I'm on my own. I was kicked out of school for truancy, failure to want to go to school and to learn. This started a foundation for my life, for my ongoing future. My new friends taught me how to smoke, drink, and cuss and to tell lies. I graduated to smoking weed and using cocaine. I never drank or used cocaine on a regular basis. I just started on weekends or invited parties. I got married and had a Child when I was 21 years old. But, with a lifestyle of drinking, spending money in bars and not on bills or in my home, I soon went through a divorce. Does this sound familiar, like today's youths? At this time, now I'm remarried my wife and I are both cocaine addicts. My wife smoked weed? I sold weed and cocaine to supply our habits. My wife left me one day. I was arrested the same day and put in jail. In jail, I bowed my knees on the floor in my cell. I was the only one there that day. I called upon Jesus and was saved and sent to North Central Correctional Institution. I never thought anyone cared. But I was so wrong. What was meant for evil for me, God changed for the good. Prison became My Bible College. Prison was where God counseled me about my morals. God taught me about being a good husband, a good father unto my Children and how a preacher must live and act. I served six and a half years in prison to learn not do use drugs, not to walk through life aimlessly. I learned my lesson. God raised me up to be a preacher in prison. Prison was my lifesaver. Wow, what a statement one might say! The reason prison was my lifeline was I could have graduated to the other side of life... Six Feet Down. I almost did! I had a heart attack, just before I was sent to prison, from smoking crack cocaine. I almost died. Your Friend... The Harley Davidson Preacher Man Luke L. Chapman Gods Vision... A Ministry of Fire
