[Jacob Mannon]

I say that Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. He is my personal savior, and I have been learning and trying to walk with him since I was 19. He means everything to me. There are so many things that would be different in my life and guaranteed to be worse without Jesus’s presence in my life. I try to exercise the spiritual gifts as much as I can. I have the perspective that we have access to all of the spiritual gifts and that the Holy Spirit chooses how He will use each of us in the gifts. I have been able to pray in tongues a few times. I had an opportunity to pray for a man in a hospital where I was working and see the Lord miraculously heal him. I’ve been able to witness to coworkers and family members, and even had a few opportunities to teach some youth groups and bible studies. I am grateful for each opportunity the Lord puts me in to be useful in some way, and I always get excited when something turns out in such a way that I know it had to be God orchestrating the events before they unfolded before me.
