December of 1999
around Christmas time, I was working for Ryder Logistics, driving 18 wheels' diesel trucks delivering food. I was working normal shifts of 13 and 14 hours
every day. If I worked 8 hours, I felt like I had not worked at all. Christmas
time you want to be home. It was rainy, wet, cold and a mess driving into some
bad places making deliveries. I remember clearly that evening, the words I
voiced out of my mouth, loud and with passion of what changes I would have in
my life the next year, because I was angry, mad and had my full of the life I
was living and working. These are the words I spoke,
“Next year will not be the same as this year. I will have a job wearing nice
cloths to work, making good money, working only 8-hours a day. A job that pays
good money, to help my wife and we buy a nice home.”
My wife was
working for Bank One, now Chase. We were in Louisiana and always wanted to move
to Texas, but could not afford the finance to move. Coming to Texas was a
miracle. My wife had applied for a position in Texas but did not have the
qualification. She asked what she had to do to qualify for the position. Long
story short, my wife found favor with every bank she was working in as a
Part-Time Teller in Louisiana, going from bank to bank and working over 40
hours a week. A position open in Louisiana for a Personal Banker, no one applied. In six months’ time, she learned all phases of the banking
systems. A position came open in Dallas for a call-center job for an Analyst
Position to work the South West and West Regions. Bank, tellers, and employees
of the bank would call in with their problems and it was the responsibility of
the Analyst to provide the solution. My wife applied for the job. She requested a $7,500 raise to make the
move. The bank refused the first time. The bank tried to make her accept a
lower pay hike, my wife refused and they called her back and told her she had
the job.
We wanted to move to Texas but did not have the funds, God open the
door with a $7,500 pay raise for my wife new position. The bank put us up in a
1350 sq. ft. apartment on Arbrook, in Arlington for five months. My wife had the better job working normal
hours for Bank One and her salaried was $33,000 a year. My salary at Ryder was
about $36,000. We had about $70,000 of income between the both of us in 2000.
We rented a
mobile home in Balch Spring, Texas. We lived in a mobile home in Louisiana and
we were tired of the mobile home living and this is why I said Christmas time
in 1999, “Next year will
not be the same as this year. I will have a job wearing nice cloths to work,
making good money, working only 8-hours a day. A job that pays good money, to
help my wife and we buy a nice home.” Those words change the course of
my life in the next six months. June 2000, a Fortune 500 company hired me as an
Electronic Computer Technician, and my wife, as Customer Service
Representative. My wife, were connected to the company first. She kept looking
for a better job for me, and the same company was looking for
computer technicians, which I did qualify. I applied, and I was working before
my wife. My wife came on a week or two later. God did as I spoke what I
believed out of my mouth. While I would drive for Ryder, I had plenty of time
to study the Bible and learn its principles. I put it to use in June 2000 for a
new job. Our income changed from about $70,000 in six months to almost a
$100,000. That put us able to purchase a home. Both of us working for
a Fortune 500 company, our income soared in a short time.
Listen to this
testimony about the house. We had our share of the mobile home living and
wanted a nice brick home. I always said and my wife agreed that we wanted a
home of no less than 3,000 or more sq. ft. We attempted to purchase a home two
times and lost our earnest money because the home we settled for was not the
size we wanted in our hearts. The first home was for 2750 sq. ft. The second
home was for 2900 sq. ft. Both times, we threw away $500.00. On the third home,
it was a 3100-sq. ft. we paid I think $1200 down. We were happy with the size
of this home. We do not know what happen or how it happens but the home we
ended up with was 3461 sq. ft. We got the square footage we wanted.
The last thing
we wanted was a 30-year note. We purpose through the concept and principle in
Five Steps to Reinvent Your Life Forever, as I did for a better job to help my
wife and we buy a home together. Move to Texas under the principles of the
book. Purchase our home under the principles and teachings in the book. Lastly,
we applied the principles and teachings in the book to pay off a 30-year
mortgage in 141/2 years. Our loan for the house we purchased in 2000 now says
paid in full. No way, we said we would not carry the note for 30-years. We
applied the principles and teachings from the Word of God. God does not lie.
None of this was over night. You see the years in between but the results are
sure. I am now building a 2-billion dollar church empire under the same
concept. From this book, I have created Larry Jones Training, Coaching, and
Empowerment Center to show other how to give life to whatever they can believe they can do. No matter the cost, material needed or people required for
the project. You can do the same from the book on your own!
Pay attention to
what I am about to say. No human in the earth thinks outside the information,
in FIVE STEPS to REINVENT YOUR LIFE FOREVER. It does not matter if a person
believes in God, Jesus Christ or not.
All humans think under the teachings of this book to give life to his or
her idea. Ironically, most humans have not this understanding and they think,
speak and act in such a way sending everything they wish in his or her life
away. In reverse draw things in his or her life, they hate or do not want. The
aim of this book is show how thoughts, your thoughts are affecting your life
and what must be done if you wish some different to happen in your life.
Note: I have been out of the work force for 3-years. I have just re-entered the work force about 8-months (Oct 2014 - June 2015) ago to make myself known and change the lives of those around me! The short time I reentered the workforce, I discovered the spirit of poverty is deeply rooted in the mindsets of the majority of the human race. I have a challenging task ahead, but God has equipped me to man up against the demons of lack, shortages, poverty, and scarceness with His Creative Power on a spiritual level.
