Episode 2247: WALKING FREE: FROM BONDAGE TO LIBERTY by Gregory Oliver - a podcast by Ric Bratton

WALKING FREE: FROM BONDAGE TO LIBERTY by Gregory OliverGregory sat in a small cell that he shared with another inmate and questioned, "why am I here? Lord? What did I do wrong to cost me the rest of my life in prison with a walking death sentence? Please let me know, I am man enough to handle it, but I need to know where I went wrong? "The answer came in three simple words, "It was rigged!"As soon as Gregory was arrested for a murder and assault that his mentally ill brother committed, he set out on a course to prove just how a judicial system that he believed in could be so corrupt that they would concoct a story that would send an innocent man away for the rest of his life. He could not fight it alone so from the time he was locked up in St. Louis City Jail he prayed that the Lord would send someone who would believe in his innocence to help him. Little did he know his help was going to come from one Michigan white woman who fought alongside him until the governor commuted his sentence.His fight did not end there because there was still the scar on his name, and he had to clear his name. He entered a fight that would take years to unravel the "Gordian Knot" of corruption and the legal lies that surrounded his name. He never wavered in his faith in the Lord's leading which caused him to be mocked and jeered at for over twenty years. He discovered that through all of this, the Lord moves in steps and stages, and in his heart he was able to be "Walking Free" in the Word of God.Born in the inner city of St. Louis, Missouri, Gregory encountered all the situations a young man from the inner-city encounters. Fortunately, he received the foundation from his father and mother as instructed by the Lord, "train up a child in the way he should go and when he becomes old, he will not depart from it." From a youth, everyone commented on his smile. He wore it continually no matter his environment. Gentle meekness would describe your first impression of him.In his late teens he enlisted in the Army and served two enlistments, six years. He is a patriot and loves his country regardless of what man might try to do with it. Gregory is a lover of all men no matter what their race, religion, or gender. Encouragement should be his middle name because after you meet him and allow him to share with you—when you leave his company you know you have been blessed.https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Free-Bondage-Gregory-Oliver/dp/1737623692/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Gregory+Oliver&qid=1628868886&s=books&sr=1-1www.gregoliverwalkingfree.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/boliverhfr.mp3
