Servant's Testismony
Servant's Testimony
My name is Jeff Rodrick, I was born on May 5th 1959 in Vincennes, Indiana. I was brought up in a middle class family upbringing. I never learned much about Christ until I reached the age of 21 when my life became a living hell!

Around the age of 16 I had finished confirmation class in the Lutheran Church, not learning much because I was not born again and could not receive the things of God, for they were spiritually discerned. My concept of God, was that one day I would meet Jesus in my life as a person, and if I was not good to him I would go to hell. I dont know where I retained that other than the scripture of the goats and sheep.

I delved into drugs at an early age, being on the outskirts of Detroit, it seemed the popular thing to do. I contemplated turning to Jesus. I was labeled a "Narc" at the age of 16 because I confessed my drug usage to my Dad, and explained to my friends I told of their usage too. Being slandered this way in High School, I was sought out by the basor sort to do away with any knowledge I did have. I was poisened with PCP which was a concocktion made in some lab God knows where. I crashed through the plate glass window of our suburban home in 1975, on my 16th birthday. My mind was never the same. Disoriented for 2 months, I regained sanity and my life was evil from then on. It seemed I had ingested a six pack of demons that day. My life from then, was one of a dual life, a people pleaser, and a lustful pothead, who chased his wicked imaginations of his mind, until my ruin in 1981, in the United States Army.

I worked at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research as a cell and tissue culturist, in the Division of Pathology, Deparment of Expiramental Pathology. Needless to say I worked on biological and chemical things of a classified nature. My life was destitute being without God and without hope in this World. I learned at the age of 21 that I needed a Saviour and that Jesus was the only way. Upon consideration of accepting Jesus, I continued in associating with those who partied. I was interested in a small detail to find out who was stealing rat tranquilizers from the expiramental surgery department at Walter Reed and selling them for gain. Eccl. 9:18-10:

1a but one sinner destroyeth much good. Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour:

I was once again termed a Narc and was set up by the underworld once again for a mind trip to hell! Being poisened by rat tranquizers in mass quantity, and once again in the time my heart was reaching out to God I feel I was baptized with a cup of suffering. The next six months I spent in sheer terror and anguish of mind. After lying that all was ok, I was discharged from the Local VA hospital here in Seminole, Florida where I reside today. I spent the next 10 years being sifted like wheat, as the church of Smyrna found in Revelations. I was bound 10 years to the day, and know the depths of Satan and how they speak. I spent the next 10 years in and out of mental hospitals more than 50 times. I saw this as a spiritual issue and not one of a chemical nature. And so it was. I sought my answers at the start from His Holy Words.

From 1981-1991 I studied diligently in both Hebrew and Greek. Many a late night I studied, and found those whom I was under were misrepresenting His Word. I forsaked all I learned and became a fool to gain Christ after spending 1/2 year as a missionary in the wrong church, the Way Ministry. I had a head knowledge of the word of God, but did not know my Lord in a personal nature.

By 1991 I had attempted suicide 5 times because I was so tired of telling God I was sorry, I will never do it again. I abhorred myself, I thursted literally for righteousness till the point of death. When I needed him most he was there. At a crossroads in my life where either I was going to kiss a Mack truck or God would interceed to save me, he did. I manifested the Spirit within as one would do in tongues but it was now in English. My world of demonic oppression of voices of demons was turned upside down, making everything rightside up. I now exhibited the words of God. I am married to my dear wife named Carriemae Rodrick, who has raised 6 children, from a previous marriage, on her own and is Grandmother to 6. She has faced many a lonely day and night for the cause of Christ Jesus and has endured many a hardships for her faith in Christ. I commend her for her continued support through the years.

To those who judge my authority and inner voice, you can not righteously judge me lest you walked in my shoes and hear the counsel of righteousness I attain to each day since 1991. Which is why I have the boldness to declare the words found on His Own Page are of God and that my soul be damned eternally if they are not. That's my faith unto the end. For I know in whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have commited unto Him against that day. Amen and amen.
