Starting in the Middle…

It was the morning of February 24th, 2000 and I had already spent three hours at pornographic web sites, sitting in my cube at work. My stomach was wrenched in knots and I felt nauseous. I hated myself and felt a hopelessness that was beyond words. In desperation, barely knowing what I was doing, I opened a blank document and began to type. Tears streamed down my face as these words poured out:

All I want is to be free from sin.
I read that Jesus did that for me.
So what am I missing that I still struggle everyday?
Is there something I forgot? Am I deceived?

To continue in this manner is going to kill me.
I can’t stand to see myself living a lie.
Lord, I need to understand what I have done wrong.
I feel I love you, but I always turn and run.

Michael Magyar Testimony - LEVEL 2, Spring/Fall 2016

My name is Michael Magyar. 

Level 2 began for me before I was aware of it. I was a practicing Muslim in jail and would watch the Chaplain (Doug Gregan) fearlessly move through the present darkness of the insane asylum of the Lawrence Correctional Faculty, in Lawrence Massachusetts.

I felt thankful that at least 1 God fearing person came to preach the word of God...even if he did belong to Christianity. Islam was the better religion but I put that aside and attended some Christian bible studies and services.

After I got out of jail I did a six month study on the Shroud of Turin and published a five part series of it on YouTube. The evidence on the Shroud of Turin was enough to convince me that I was indeed on the wrong side of the fence. So, I converted to Christianity and joined Level 2 and Doug Gregan in Lynn, Massachusetts for a powerful 18 weeks Walk of Repentance course.

The 3 biggest things I got out of the course was.

1. I pray more. I learned the three daily special times of prayer observance recorded in the Bible in both the Old and New Testament. The Lord's Prayer at 9am. The 23rd Psalm at 12pm and Psalm 117 at 3pm.

2. I read the Bible more and began to add scriptures into my Self-Addicts Map of Consciousness. I updated the map while in Level 2. The scripture gives the best direction for me, an alcoholic and confirms that I can continue living in the authority force of Satan or choose to live protected by the authority power of Christ (see map attached).

3. I respect women more because through the Holy Spirit I turn my lustful eyes into a blessing from my heart. I learned from 1 Peter 3:8-9 to bless. That is my job to be a blessing and also get a blessing. Amen.


Bob Haskell Testimony - LEVEL 2, Spring/Fall 2016

I have been moved through this valley. From the beginning this class has brought me through each emotion, the first being submission, letting go of the things that keep me from starting a relationship with Jesus. I learned how rebellious I was and had to confront this by taking what God gives, which includes His reproof; learning how to rely on Him even when He is chastening me.

How I am so looking forward to this goal at the end of the race. I went in thinking this is going to be easy. It opened the doors and the Spirit cleaned house, and is still there cleansing me. I am changing more and more. I have said this in the past, and now again, I am so glad The Lord is going with me. He is helping me with His loving care and understanding, and is there when I need to be chastised also. This class is a tough place to be. I, myself, thought I could not finish. Only with the Holy Spirit was I able to complete what God had set before me.

I thank God for my Brothers and for Pastor Doug, for the love and kindness, and most of all the help through the toughest class I have ever been through. So, now the Cross I bear, and now I know how.
