In fact, he had become known as the co-promoter of Europe&#8217;s largest Afro Hair and Beauty Show, (Afro Hair and Beauty).<\/p>\n<p>Having achieved notoriety at a young age, Hugh began to achieve acclaim in the world of Black media. He also sang and produced Music, working with acclaimed artistes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As his popularity grew, so likewise did the desires of the flesh.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Although temptation was everywhere, the hand of God Always seemed to be present in his life.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Everything seemed to be going so well and then out of the blue, sickness and stress began to take a hold of him. Things began to spiral in a downward direction. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>These were cold dark days for Hugh who was now being treated for what was termed yupee flu but finally, I was diagnosed with a condition known as M.E.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hugh found himself in the hands of a local private quack who introduced him to a temporary fix for the suffering.\u00a0 They were known as uppers and downers.\u00a0 Now in constant pain caused by the condition, Hugh became hooked taking Diazepam pills as many as four times a day, followed by a quarter of Jack Daniel&#8217;s every night in order to get to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually and inevitably Hugh rejected any knowledge he had of Jesus Christ (for he had a Catholic upbringing) but rather began seeking alternative healing and other faiths.<\/p>\n<p>The following is Hugh\u2019s personal narrative of his salvation and journey to Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Born Again\u00a0<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was driving my car on the A40 at 80 MPH my body racked with pain, (the diazepam now unable to treat the symptoms), I had the good fortune to be given a copy of an album by Aretha Franklyn which had a track on it called &#8220;walk in the light\u201d.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>For some reason, I was completely drawn to the spirit behind the music, although I didn&#8217;t understand it at all. You see I had been suffering deep depression and had not been able to stop crying for days prior to this.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>My only joy (other than playing with my then two year old daughter, Janah) was to listen to this mysterious song.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As I was driving, I played this song over and over, then the words suddenly became real to me. &#8221; Jesus, the light of the world&#8221;\u00a0 I pulled may car to the side of the road, and cried out to Jesus for help.<\/p>\n<p>I said Jesus if you are real please help me! Please let me walk in the light! I cried a river of tears that day, as a sweet presence (which I now know as the Holy Spirit) overshadowed me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was like waves of sunshine inside the car, with each passing wave of light and heat, I was assured of God&#8217;s love. I literally felt the reality of the presence of the Lord in the car with me. I yielded myself to that presence and for a full thirty minutes I experienced the undeniable feeling of being washed in his loving grace.<\/p>\n<p>After this time, I thought if I could just open my eyes and look behind in the back seat of the car, I would see the face of the Lord for I knew he was in the car with me but being afraid, I would not turn around, eventually I mustered the courage to turn and when I did, the presence immediately left the back seat of the car and entered my heart.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t disappointed because he was now in me! I knew I had met with the Lord. I was healed instantly. I never took those painkillers again! Ever since that day, my life has been devoted to Learning about him&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I would love to tell you that from that day it has been a bed of roses, but that would not be true. In fact, life since then hasn&#8217;t always been perfect for me but that is because I had a lot of unlearning to do.<\/p>\n<p>In the World, we develop certain traits that need to be removed from us. Sometimes that process is painful.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, I have been through divorce, business failure, sickness and ministry failure all since becoming a Christian!<\/p>\n<p>however, I would not change a single thing, because all things really do work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible says in Psalms 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers \u00a0him out of them all. This is my testimony. As I have passed through various afflictions, I have grown in Him. My life has become a great testimony for others. Now the Lord uses me to minister to people all around the World with a special anointing for teaching the message of Faith, grace and Sonship.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BIO Dr Hugh Alexander Jackman \u00a0 Author | Producer | Psalmist | Seer Believe it or not, Hugh Alexander Jackman was a young idealistic disrupter in the world of music, fashion and beauty.\u00a0He was called to the ministry in 1994 after which he spent 18 years in three pastorates.\u00a0All of the churches he founded continue [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-25532","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritandlife.org.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritandlife.org.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritandlife.org.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritandlife.org.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritandlife.org.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25532"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/spiritandlife.org.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25532\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26015,"href":"https:\/\/spiritandlife.org.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25532\/revisions\/26015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritandlife.org.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
