I am Dale Lee Gordon, former criminal and once a servant of Satan I gave my heart to Jesus Christ LORD and Savior of my life. I am the same person Robert Scott wrote about in his book "Kill or be Killed." I survived over eight and a half years of prison's nightmare. AMEN
I am here to tell you GOD is good both in season and out of season, in good times and in bad times, because in the end GOD will see you through whatever crisis you are facing.
A month or so ago I met a woman in church who was hurting bad. She was very broken down and it was over her husband. He was a former law enforcement agent who said "no" to Jesus Christ. This is a personal thing now, because one of my best friends from the United States Marine Corps works inside of hell's gates. He went to great lengths to find me, but when he did what happened surprised him. I had given my life to Jesus Christ and he did not know how to react other than with silence! Hear the silence is broken!!!
I created PACT Redding in late 2009. I announced it at one of our pact meetings and it went over about as well as the guest visit to the lions den right after Daniel's first night stay with them. While Daniel had rest sleeping in the comfort of the warm shaggy fur of the lions, P.A.C.T. Redding was about as offensive as a full on Jesus Freak in the middle of the Dome of the Rock with a ghetto blaster turned all the way up to the tune of "Mary Did You Know?"
I know a lot of things and while I was once pawned off as a fool and the gavel swung with the verdict "GUILTY!" I too was thrown into a lion's den and I think a lot of people, perhaps some authorities included, decided surely this is the end of Dale Lee Gordon. Gates slammed shut and time wore on and so did my beloved King James 1611 Bible as I wore many Bibles out. People wondered, some prayed, many others preyed Satan laughed and rejoiced. Many mocked, some saying why doesn't he fight back? As I ate my own teeth at a time I believe I was set up in thoughts we will get him now, truth and GOD's Word prevailed. I said "GOD bless you" to an evil satanic inmate. It robbed his power and I stood up with plenty of blood on my face, walked between the inmates who stood guard and approved my execution, and went and did the impossible once again. I told the truth and it got me out of what would have been my death sentence in Jamestown State Prison. (Romans 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
While Satan rejoiced, it was a dream of mine to one day preach and more than that a vow to GOD Almighty. There are reasons no one knows and now I will tell of them. I made a vow to GOD to be a preacher for Him. It was freedom's last night ever back in 1998. I told God not even knowing who he was, "If you get me through this, I will be a preacher for you." This was a prophecy fulfillment sealing the words of the P.K. Penny Fisher. At my eight grade graduation she sounded off, "Dale Lee Gordon will be a preacher." The crowd laughed hysterically, thinking the atheist "never" but there was silence in heaven...
While some people say there are bad people in law enforcement I say, "Not so!" I love and forgive even those who I believe may have set me up in Jamestown. Praise GOD! The problem is we as citizens tend to believe that someone because they are in a position of authority is bad because they rule over us. I have been ruled over all my life in the Marine Corps and in prison. Praise GOD because one day we will have a king to reign over us and that KING is Jesus Christ.
Over the time period of April and May 2010 the law enforcement officers were all extremely kind to me. The treated me with respect and dignity as I was facing tremendous hardships in my life. They were kind but dealt in honor and decency. I later wrote a letter to Redding Police Department thanking them for their good service and included a prayer. I saw it is time to start respecting those in authority and pray for them and give them respect making their jobs easier.
On a further note: My serious mental illness has often reduced me to a point of being down sydrome. It is hard to write well and do anything inspirational at all when in these poor states of mind. In addition to that just dealing with folks like Pastor Brock ripping me off for ten's of thousands causes a new pain I live with every single day of my life. I went from being a US Marine, and eventually had a job working for the US Forest Service to being seriously handicapped. Please keep this in mind that my mental state has been severely reduced to say the least. While I personally take the blame from my crime, mental illness has not helped me at all. Just so you know I take my medication now daily and will continue to do so.
In all things I say Praise GOD for allowing Satan to get at me in the past!
