Freed from Horror Movies with Damon Hinkle-CMAW144

What You'll Hear:

• Damon became a believer in 2009 after being a false convert earlier
• As a young boy he felt like he wasn't able to do what he wanted and he had a problem with authority.  He had a false conversion including a confession in church and baptism.  Soon after that He saw his first horror movie and got hooked
• Looking back, he sees that this was something he loved that no-one that could take away from him and he wanted an identity from things in the world and he wanted to be accepted
• He was trying to take something wicked and make it good, resulting in his interest in sculpting and make-up
• His aunt encouraged him to go to a school and so he did.  He excelled in school and after graduating tried to get a job somewhat applying what he had learned, working for a fiberglass company
• His co-worker was an alpha-male who recommended Damon watch a video that was about Christians being persecuted.  He went home and watched the video and it really convicted him and made him realize he was not ready for Jesus to return.  The following Friday he went to see the remake of Friday the 13th and felt nothing after seeing the movie.
• A pastor invited him to a play, Hell's Gates, and Damon got saved.
• The next time he smoked a joint, he felt the peace of God leave, and he decided he had to get rid of his
• old lifestyle.  It took 3 bonfires to burn up all his stuff.  He made a profession of faith at church and got baptized again.
• He was introduced to a woman.  They knew they would save sex for marriage and it was beautiful as they got to know each other and bond for  years.
• His job was no longer something that would define him, his job was a mission field
• Contact Damon at The Abolitionist Society of Thomasville through Facebook
• Parents: You've got to look at the fruit of your children even if they've made a profession of faith.  A believer's lifestyle is a lifestyle of repentance, a continual coming to God's word.  Test everything against scripture
