Satanist … thief … rebel … arsonist …
junkie … convicted felon … all of these describe the days of his pre-teen and
early teenage years.
Converted … earnest seeker … servant of the Savior …
clean and sober … Bible student … Christian … husband … dad … all of these
describe author Wyatt Allen as he is today.
God used a 20-year prison sentence to get his
attention, but once God had his heart, Wyatt has kept moving forward in serving
the God of the heavens who pulled him from the wretchedness of his pit. Today,
he continues to seek and serve His Savior as a Bible worker and evangelist.
"Gathered along the bank of Missouri’s Gasconade
River enjoying a summer picnic with my family, I relaxed in the cool breeze,
indulged in the tasty food, and took a refreshing swim. Life couldn't get better
than this.
Abruptly, a remote, rumbling roar interrupted my
serenity. Seemingly closer and closer, louder and louder, it bellowed in the
distance. I tensed. Surely it meant impending doom. What was the noise? It
seemed oddly familiar, yet far from natural. Where was it coming from? What did
it mean? I was bewildered and confused. When it happened again the bleariness of
sleep swiftly left me. I realized what it was!
I bolted from the top bunk just in the nick of time as
the count-timer buzzer suddenly yanked me from my leisurely dream. No river, no
picnic, no family, just four concrete walls, a metal sink, and toilet. I stood
for count just as the prison guards walked up to my cell door. Whew! That was a
close call.
Taking it all in, I just smiled. I was happy, not
because of my environment, but because of my incredible, miracle-filled journey
that took me in search of God. I hadn't been seeking Him, but He was seeking me.
He knew my heart when I didn’t know my own. When He found me as a
devil-worshiping, death-metal, head-banging, suicidal fifteen-year-old and broke
through the strongholds of my life, it would never be the same again."
