Leaving The World Behind ~ Denise Matthews ~ OmegaMan Radio
Leaving The World Behind ~ Denise Matthews ~ OmegaMan Radio – An encouraging testimony and a powerful Word from Denise Matthews otherwise known as ‘Vanity’ to encourage and share about her journey and the power of Yahweh in her life… Vanity gave up her stage name and became a born-again Christian in 1994, the year she almost died from the effects of smoking crack cocaine. She claims that after being rushed to the hospital, doctors said she had three days to live while on life support. She said that Jesus came to her at this time and spoke to her, saying if she promised to give up her Vanity persona, he would save her. In 1995, she said, “When I came to the Lord Jesus Christ, I threw out about 1000 tapes of mine — every interview, every tape, every video. Everything.” She has stated that she has chosen not to receive any further revenue from her work as Vanity, and has cut off all ties with Hollywood and her former life in the music business. She decided to devote her life to evangelism and now speaks at churches across the United States and overseas. www.omegamanradio.com http
