I was truly saved at age 11, and even took my New Testament to elementary school to witness. I backslid at 14 and went into deep sin for 31 years. I was a Junkie, alcoholic, violent criminal mental patient. Yet I always kept reading the Bible praying the Lord would bring me back. He did in 1998 and it's been 19 years without a drink, drug or violence. I don't ask money for Preaching and teaching. I give free dinners at my Bible studies and run a Prison Ministry. I am 67 now and was surprised myself at the revelations God was showing me that were IN the same Bible all have been reading for years. I don't need to see any of the Bible's miracles because what He did in my life is miracle enough. God's business is CHANGING lives.
