Over 22 years in the mafioso lifestyle: money, crime & addiction…💸🚔
Jesus Christ is my Lord & Savior. New interview on YouTube with John Alite.👇

Sometimes I still cannot believe what God has done Sometimes I still cannot believe what God has done with my life.

There was a time when I ran from Him.

I ran into the streets.
I ran into addiction.
I ran into a life that almost destroyed me.

And now?

God has allowed me to tell people about Jesus on places like The 700 Club.

That overwhelms me.

Pat Robertson inspired me to step into full-time ministry.

So, sitting there and sharing what God had done in my life was more than an interview.

It was a reminder.

God can take the man who ran from Him and turn him into a man who runs to tell others about Him.

That is grace.

That is mercy.

That is BUT GOD.

I will never stop being amazed that He lets me tell this story.

Back then, I thought my life was falling apart. N Back then, I thought my life was falling apart.

Now I can see it clearly.

God was stopping me before I destroyed myself.

At the time, I did not call it mercy.

I called it trouble.
I called it loss.
I called it getting caught.

But years later, I can see God’s hand in it.

He knew where my choices were taking me.

And He loved me enough to interrupt my path.

The Bible says,

“God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance.” - Romans 2:4

That verse means more to me now.

Sometimes God’s care does not feel soft.

Sometimes He stops us.
Sometimes He closes the door.
Sometimes He lets the thing we fear happen so He can pull us away from what is killing us.

Then later, we look back and say,

“God, You were saving me.”

BUT GOD used mercy to rescue me, redeem me, and bring me to Himself.

Now I can see what I could not see then:

His goodness was there the whole time.

There were so many times I could not see what God There were so many times I could not see what God was doing.

But He could.

He opened doors I could not open.

He brought the right people into my life.

He gave me a wife, a new path, and a heart for ministry.

For 13 years, I served in nursing homes.

When I walked in, something about those rooms reminded me of prison.

People were waiting.

Some were near the end of their lives.

And I kept thinking:

They need to hear about Jesus.

God did not save me just for me.

He gave me a story so I could bring hope to someone else.

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel.” - Mark 16:15

Looking back, I can say it with full trust:

BUT GOD knew exactly what He was doing.

And He still does.

There was a time when I had no idea what came next There was a time when I had no idea what came next.

I had a new identity.

But no real plan.

No trade.
No education.
No old life to go back to.

I was afraid.

And that fear brought me to a choice.

I could panic and try to control everything.

Or I could trust God.

Then He gave me Matthew 6.

He reminded me that He feeds the birds and cares for the flowers.

And then this:

“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” - Matthew 6:33

That became my turning point.

I stopped asking, “How am I going to survive?”

And I started asking, “God, how do I seek You first?”

I had to stand on His promise before I could see the answer.

And from that day until now, God has been faithful.

BUT GOD made a way when I could not see one.

If you do not know what comes next, seek Him first.

He knows what you need.

There was a time when fear could have stopped me. There was a time when fear could have stopped me.

I had reasons to be afraid.

But I learned something:

Fear can freeze you.

It can keep you from obeying God.
It can keep you from stepping into your calling.
It can keep you stuck.

I do not want to live that way anymore.

If I am here, I want to do the work God gave me.

And when my life is over, I know where I am going.

That gives me peace.

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” - 2 Timothy 1:7

BUT GOD did not call me to hide.

He called me to go.

So I will keep moving where He leads.

Sometimes rescue does not look like rescue. Somet Sometimes rescue does not look like rescue.

Sometimes it looks like everything is falling apart.

I was deep in addiction.
I was homeless.
I was running.
I was destroying my life.

Then the officers came.

At the time, I saw an arrest.

Looking back, I see God’s mercy.

He used that moment to pull me out of a life that was killing me.

That is why I call them my “angels.”

Not because they looked like angels.

Because God used them to stop me.

BUT GOD knew I needed to be removed before I could be restored.

Sometimes the thing you fear most may be the very thing God uses to save your life.

I was sitting in Rikers Island and felt like my li I was sitting in Rikers Island and felt like my life had finally caught up with me.

My choices had taken me to a place where I could not save myself.

That is where mercy found me.

God did not give me what I deserved.

He gave me grace.

He gave me another chance.

And He gave me a new life because Jesus already paid the price for my sin on the cross.

That is what still gets me.

I did not earn my way back.

I was rescued.

“But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ.” - Ephesians 2:4-5

BUT GOD.

Mercy kept me from the end.

Grace gave me a new beginning.

If God can redeem my story, He can redeem yours too.

January 23, 1997, I got a visit from two “angels.” January 23, 1997, I got a visit from two “angels.”

They did not have wings.

They had badges and guns.

They were police officers.

I was a wanted man, and they finally caught me.

At the time, it felt like my life was falling apart.

But looking back, I can see it different.

That was the last day I drank.

The last day I used drugs.

The last day I lived the life I had been living.

What felt like an ending was really a rescue.

BUT GOD used the very thing I feared to start changing my life.

Sometimes mercy does not look soft.

Sometimes mercy looks like God stopping you before you destroy yourself.
