Update!
God has been blessing me. Seems like the radio is off to a slow start, but only God knows how many are tuning in each week. Financially I know HE will supply. I have started school for multi-media online and it is coming along better than I thought. Every thing is coming together. Praying worshiping God and waiting on the wife he is preparing for me! :)

AI Online
I have been accepted and will start school July 12, 2010 AI Online classes for an associate degree in Website Design and Interactive Media. Thank God for all He is doing how awesome! my life is turning upside down in a good way!!! :)
Spirit of Homosexuality
Well at first it's hard to really say I am not gay. After living that life for ten yrs. I was depressed, had two dui's been in valley hospital with clinical depression which occurred right before I was delivered. The enemy always will tell you, you will never be any good they all think your gay, you will never be straight. I bind him in the name of JESUS CHRIST and know today that I am saved, sanctified, and set FREE! I am sure I will have to fight the enemy for who knows how long. I do believe my soul mate is out there, and that little boy that I have dreamed of is too! What Satan meant for harm God will use for Good if you are reading this and you think I have lost my marbles, let me tell you there is such things as demons. Legion in the bible was full of demons and I believe some let us work and function normal lives just a a homosexual spirit does. If you have been saved greater is HE that is in you than he that is in the world. I will not judge anyone I will love everyone the same regardless. If you don't think people can be delivered of homosexuality just watch my life from this point on and watch what God is going to do!!!!

Wrestlers that have died before 65
Wrestling's Dirty Secret
While many people think of wrestling as a big joke, there is one thing about wrestling that isn't funny. The death rate among wrestlers is alarmingly high. The first time time this story was covered by the national media was in 2003 on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumble. That segment featured Vince McMahon mocking the interviewer and slapping the notes from his hands. In addition, the only wrestler to speak up for the wrestlers, Roddy Piper, was fired after the piece aired.
Drug Usage
While the outcomes of the matches are pre-determined, the effort to put on those matches takes a huge toll on their bodies. The wrestlers are on the road over 300 days a year and unlike other athletes, they do not have an off season. In addition, accidents do happen and injuries occur. Unfortunately, if wrestlers take time off, their wallets will suffer significantly. These factors all lead to the deadly slope that many wrestlers have found themselves facing. They get addicted to pain killers to numb the pain. This medicine keeps them too lethargic to wrestle, so they take drugs to get high. This deadly mixture leads to illegal drug dependency that many wrestlers have to cope with even after they retire.
Large Bodies
In the '90s, the WWE faced a major steroid scandal. While they claim to test for steroids, it is obvious to the casual viewer that many of the wrestlers are taking something to get their physiques to look like they do. In today's environment, a wrestler must carry either an enormous amount of muscle or a tremendous amount of fat to give him the larger than life size needed to be successful in the business. That extra weight, whether muscle or fat, makes the heart work harder than it must.
Accidents and Old Age
Not all the wrestlers die due to the reasons stated above. Some die due to travel related incidents because of all the time on the road. Some have even died as a result of injuries suffered in the ring. Unfortunately, the least common way that wrestlers seem to be dying is due to old age.
How bad is the problem?
The list below only includes wrestlers that have appeared on national TV and were stars. Imagine if this many baseball players died at such an early age. There would be congressional hearings. Yet because it is wrestlers, no one cares. In an effort to stop this problem, the WWE has instituted a wellness program that monitors wrestlers for drug usage and cardiovascular issues.

Mick Foley on Chris Kanyon
Kanyon
I got the sad news about Kanyon today - another fine wrestler leaves us way too soon.I knew Kanyon pretty well through his friendship with Diamond Dallas Paige. At the time of his Mortis gimmick, and even back when he was part of "Men at Work", I found Kanyon's style to be entertaining and exciting. His new moves were awesome and it was usually just a matter of time before someone with a good eye for potential, would be utlizing a similar manuver in another company.
But for a short stretch, I felt like Kanyon had the potential to be among the best workers in the business. I once heard a great Tony Schiavoni call, something along the lines of "he's the best in the business, and he's going to destroy this kid." It didn't seem like wrestling hyperbole to me either - more a genuine reaction to watching one of the best at the top of his game. I enjoyed watching him in the ring, wondering what new gem he might debut that would be stolen overnight and given new life with another company,
I last saw Chris at Wrestlemania in 2004. I may have seen him once since then. He looked good, but talked about packing it in, calling it a career. I never knew of his struggles; the bipolar disorder, the pressure of keeping his sexuality secret for so many years.
I had a small mention about Kanyon in my upcoming book. A few weeks ago, in my agents office, I asked if I could tweak the story just a little to make sure it didn't come off as mean. Now, I'll have to lose it altogether.
I wish he was still in the book. I wish he was still with us in this great big dysfunctional wrestling family. Kanyon unfortunately, was a guy who gave alot more to wrestling than wrestling gave to him in return.

An Unfortunate Solution
Thanks to everyone who offered feedback about Kanyon. I didn't realize what a big deal his coming out was to the gay community until his passing. I sure wish there was more tolerance in the world, so that people wouldn't have to struggle so hard and go through so much emotional pain just to live the life they want to. I know there are people out there with very definite ideas about what happens to those who choose to take their own life, or who lead a lifestyle that might be considered alternative, but I hope that, in death, Chris will find some peace. Suicide is always a permanent solution to a temporary problem, but that can be awfully tough to accept when dealing with the very real demons of depression. I truly hope that it's not a solution that anyone out there would opt for, and hope that if anyone out there is going through the type of pain that Chris was, they will have access to an understanding family or friends, or will consider seeking help from a professional. Unfortunately, suicide is a solution that far too many wrestlers have opted for. I really wish there was some kind of emotional crash pad for wrestlers to land on when the bright lights dim, or when injuries take their toll, or when one is finally forced to face the fact that the next big break just might not come around.

Reaching out to Pakistan!
Here is a email that I Received from Pakistan! 02/18/2010
Dear Brother in Christ
Greetings from Pakistan.
I am from Pakistan. I have studied your web site, and I found it the most wonderful site to get right to the True Word of God. I found that all your material is full of knowledge concerning development of religious faith. Living in Pakistan we Christians is to face many obstacles to get the access to the word of God. Most of the people in Pakistan are not capable to understand the English language and they are hungry of the God's words. It's because our national language is Urdu.
My suggestion for you is to create your material in my language of Urdu and Punjabi also. It will bring lots of blessings of the Word of God for the Pakistani and Indian Urdu and Punjabi speaking people. For that purpose I as a translator will bring your material into Urdu languages and into Punjabi language as well. Although it will take your low expenses as well, as fund for the Word of God to reach out to the deserving people. As a translator I will take the expenses that will be spending just for the Word.
In Christ,
Mehwish

Come Join What GOD is DOING!
Thursday was a new beginning for VLM. I went to the conference Prophecy 2010 that was held in Cleveland, TN at the TL Lowery Ministry Center. Perry Stone from VOE that airs all over the world on TBN and other channels delivered the message. He preached on how the church cannot operate without the five fold ministry, as Elijah saw the cloud it was the cloud shaped like the cloud of a man's hand! It makes me wanna shout just to think about it the five fingers represents the five fold ministry. The church today is dead because we only rely just on the pastor!
Folks today I tell you something happened to this boy that use to be a baptist! He called those up that wanted to be baptized in the Holy Ghost and those that wanted to be renewed in it! I was standing there praying in tongues as I did nothing really was happening and I was saying God what's going on, why aren't you touching me? I kept on praying. Well to my surprise! AMEN! TL's assistant was coming around HA! He laid his hand on my stomach and said, "There it is receive it!" The next best thing to salvation a ball of lighting hit me in my abdomen split went out my toes and head! I hit my knees and shouted and haven't been the same since! PRAISE GOD!
I had prayed awhile back and God told me 2010 was the year for VLM and Victor and HE would send me partners. I said okay God you said it I believe it less than a month I received my first gift of a $50.00 and a commitment of two years and a increase in the future to $100.00 when his finances get better! Praise God!
If He lays it on your heart to donate to this ministry please don't hesitate to send it, it will go directly to HIS service. I will keep track of every penny and send a quarterly statement out showing where the money is being used. We are not currently a 501 (c) 3 Ministry, but that is in the process. If you can help us achieve that email me. victor@victorlevan.com. If its only one time of $5.00 and you think that is silly, think again God can use that! If it's $5.00 a month He can use that no matter what amount we are a new ministry whether new or old God can use all amounts amen?!
Newsletter
I will start sending out a newsletter soon if you would like to receive it please email me and you can receive it via e-mail.
