When God gives you a talent, are you using that talent to help further his kingdom, or are you using those talents for personal pleasure or gains? This is the question that was asked of me. I most definitely wasn't living to spread the good news! I was blessed with the ability to play Pocket Billiards and was taught how to hustle people from a young age by my grandfather. I had already developed a small gambling addiction before I learned of this talent. However, the lessons that I have learned during years of playing this magnificent game have helped God reveal himself to me. I finally could understand that Satan had been taking advantage of my youth and lack of wisdom from an early age to keep me from my salvation. I tell this story to explain to my own children how wonderful God's grace is in our life and, hopefully, will inspire others to release any strongholds that Satan has on their own lives.
