Grace can not be used as an EXCUSE EVER !! for it is no longer GRACE if that is the case it is just a EXCUSE ___________________________________________________________
In LIGHT of EVERYTHING We KNOW about God Why are so many still in the dark ?
___________________________________________________________
How can this be To be so mesmerized by your beauty Standing in AWE of you for you are unseen Yet i feel you running through my veins LIFE this LIFE you have created ,Drawn to you by all that is seen in all your creations What a magnificent God we serve To KNow this God is almost to glorious to speak of So greateful for his majesties presence so thankful For this one who saw me in my most desperate state & saved me Who am i that you would know me This KING this KING of GLORY !! The glimpse of your touch was & is enough to sustain me in this life & the life to come
___________________________________________________________
Why do you consider YOURSELF to be Wise Yet hang in the company of FOOLS ? A man Wise in his OWN eyes Will do this very thing & become even more Foolish WAKE UP !! Be seated next to the Wise & inturn you will become Wise IN TIME
___________________________________________________________
I have been known to leave this life i lead So Lord hold on to me & let me not go I truly believe in what i can not see I do feel your presence as close as my very breath HOLD ON TO ME
___________________________________________________________
Those who are STANDING ON The ROCK The Only Foundation in which to build a Foundation upon Can NEVER EVER fall off that Rock They only fall ON The Rock Never off the Rock But on The Rock That is CHRIST JESUS
___________________________________________________________
Just who do you think you are hiding from? You can only fool people for so long before the jig is up. You are not even hiding from yourself, the spirit inside testifies to this ! & Above all you are not hiding from God for as you are in pain he longs to be your deliverer !. Stop hiding & come to the one who came to , heal the broken hearted the bruised & the wounded. I know what i am talking about , i used to be all 3 of these. Now i have THE 3 the FATHER, the SON, & the HOLY SPIRIT . Come to HIM, all you who are weary and burdened, and HE will give you rest.
___________________________________________________________
If you are living and doing the same things you were doing when you first found Christ ask yourself what has changed? If you are doing the same things ask yourself why because you MUST take off the OLD Man and put on THE NEW. You must not have the old nature and Claim to be representing CHRIST This is not real check yourself ,been there done that . It does not work instead put all you have into seeking CHRIST than there is no time to entertain SELF and it's passions and desires .
It is self inventory time

To try to win a soul for Christ by keeping that soul in ignorance of any truth, is contrary to the mind of the Spirit; and to endeavor to save men by mere claptrap, or excitement, or oratorical display, is as foolish as to hope to hold an angel with bird-lime, or lure a star with music. The best attraction is the gospel in its purity. The weapon with which the Lord conquers men is the truth as it is in Jesus.
"Charles Spurgeon"
___________________________________________________________
regeneration is that man in his fallen nature consists only of body and soul, and that when he is "born again" there is created in him a new and higher nature—"the spirit"—which is a spark from the everlasting fire of God's life and love; this falls into the heart, and abides there, and makes its receiver a partaker of the divine nature." Thenceforward, the man consists of three parts, body, soul, and spirit, and the spirit is the reigning power of the three. Charles Spurgeon
I replaced the word "regenerated" with born again because that is what it really means.
___________________________________________________________
How have we so reduced The Gospel to muttering a prayer and proclaiming one saved . Man does not even have the authority to proclaimed one saved or born again ,yet the church does this despicable practice every Sunday . Being born again is a Supernatural work of the Holy Spirit and the evidence will be the fruit they bare and the changed lifestyle. There is no such thing as a "carnal Christian" This is a oxymoron . A person can not live in a continuous carnal state after supposedly taking Christ as Savior , to do so is to blaspheme God and the Holy spirit. When a person is truly born again they may in the beginning be very much carnal but a continuous work of the Holy Spirit will gradually begin to give them a new nature if this is not the case with you Christian be very afraid !!
___________________________________________________________
Parents life is short so do what God has called you to do Raise your children or some one else or something else will Play with your children they will only ask so many times before they stop asking They will find some one else or something else to play with
___________________________________________________________
There is no such thing as Hidden Sin Only sin that MUST BE MASTERED and CONQUERED No matter how deep the struggle Sin MUST be MASTERED & CONQUERED NEVER HIDDEN
___________________________________________________________
The Atheist is correct in the aspect of logic The problem with logic is God is not interested in anyone's logic Our highest thought we might ever have is but dung compared to Gods INFAMOUS WISDOM The creator of ALL THINGS
___________________________________________________________
All atheism really stands for is Man choosing to ignore the laws God has written on his or her heart So as to not to have to submit to them
___________________________________________________________
God will have ALL the Glory because he deserves ALL the GLORY God will have ALL the Glory or NONE at all The glory YOU want for yourself is not glory at all only SELFISHNESS For what do you have that has not been given to you by the Giver of All things ALL Glory all Honor not only belongs to God But ALL Glory & Honor is Gods
___________________________________________________________
Human nature, in some aspects, is an awful thing; but when the Lord Jesus Christ took it, and joined His own divine nature to it, He made a grand thing of it, and human nature is a noble thing when it is united to the Lord Jesus Christ.
"CHARLES SPURGEON"
___________________________________________________________
With out Christ indwelling in my whole being I am nothing more than a wretched sinner . But as the HOLY ONE incarnated in me and cleansed me I am becoming all the more holy and righteous
___________________________________________________________
Love those around you , extend grace Walk humble in and out of the sight of men and woman Stop talking about Jesus & be like JESUS Do not only tell but SHOW
___________________________________________________________
We all have a deep inner sense of the divine in all of us Placed there as a spark. This spark is waiting to be ignited into a burning light An ALL consuming fire to shine before ALL As proof of the Most High God
___________________________________________________________
You can teach your children so many things But if you have not First and Foremost taught them THE FEAR OF THE LORD They Shall NOT have the WISDOM to uphold ANYTHING you have or will teach them
___________________________________________________________
Fathers & Husbands love to boast about the headship and their great role in the family Forget not that you also have a headship over you Be very mindful of this Boast not in your own headship But boast in Only the ONE who has headship over you
___________________________________________________________
You need to realize it does not matter what you think Because it is not about what you think AT ALL IN FACT That is the problem It is not what you think but what does THE WORD OF GOD SAY
___________________________________________________________
Walking by Faith is to DO Not to sit and wait
___________________________________________________________
If people read their bibles There would not be a need for a bracelet or t - shirt Asking what would Jesus Do? Because they would KNOW what Jesus would do Because the Bible tells us what Jesus would do The reason you do not know is because you do study the word of God
___________________________________________________________
Jesus calls us to bare Good FRUIT So others may see HIM Through US IF The only fruit you are baring Is in farm-ville God is not pleased ___________________________________________________________
Any Time spent in self pity Is time lost Because that time could be spent getting your dignity back Because you have absolutely NO dignity or respect while having Pity on Self
___________________________________________________________
Do you want to be great? If you truly want to be great than become the least of men & woman and Serve
___________________________________________________________
Husbands you may be CALLED to assume headship over your wife and children But Do Not Forget that you are also CALLED to be the FIRST to SACRIFICE ___________________________________________________________
So many people really do not want to get better Because their INTENTION is not to get better at all But to simply get by
___________________________________________________________
Turning AWAY from the sin in your life is the HARD thing to do.( the narrow path) Turning TOWARD the sins of our fleshly desires is very EASY to do. Turning TOWARDS the sinful flesh of lust ,greed,pride the touch & taste of sin so enticing Pleasures pleasurable sin Feeding engulfing sin down mindless Careless in the BEGINNING Always fulfilling our flesh to the point of EMPTY (wide path)
___________________________________________________________
Victory over one particular sin is to wage war against the unseen. A maddening struggle Unseen but felt on so many levels internally in the soul, intertwining mingling with the spirit. Fiercely fought in the mental. Producing battle scars & wounds as reminders of the many battles before the ultimate victory of the war. Raging hurricane force tears falling just before the calm & peace after the realization of the grace that sustained you that was only really noticeable after the dust has settled

You ARE created to bring GLORY & HONOR to GOD So why are you WORKING so DILIGENTLY to bring glory and honor to yourself
_________________________________________________________________
Rules are walls of protection Entertaining the outside The Flesh passions and it's Desires Will sooner or later CONSUME you from the INSIDE
_________________________________________________________________
Tell people how you are LIVING Not with your words But with the way IN Which you LIVE
_________________________________________________________________
The Tools for success are SPIRITUAL Not physical There are FORCES out to Destroy your LIFE You are IN a War but it is a SPIRITUAL War In order to not only Win but be Victorious Put on the FULL Armour of GOD
_________________________________________________________________
Willfully & Knowingly disobeying the will of God Will put you outside of the realm of HIS PROTECTION & This is a scary place to be
_________________________________________________________________
To live life is to Love God If you do not Love God You can not Live Life God gives life God is Love God is to be your life And when God is your life You will be Love
_________________________________________________________________
Man has put together The Word of GOD But does this in anyway take away it's GLORY Surely NOT !! Does it still not have the Breath of God Breathed IN it Giving LIFE & Nutrition to Thy bones To be Food from HEAVEN Is quite an UNDERSTATEMENT
_________________________________________________________________
You simply can not win a battle running away It has never worked in the past and it shall not in the future Stand and fight
_________________________________________________________________
Sin to the Believer shall be an INTOLERABLE BURDEN To the non believer there is no such thing But this does not EXCUSE the offense
_________________________________________________________________
IF you are searching for meaning or purpose It is to be found IN the Very Creator GOD Who made all and is Responsible for ALL News Flash this life is not about you so Stop Making this Life about you My life TOTALLY CHANGED when i REALIZED my WHOLE LIFe HAD been about me The Day I REALIZED This LIFE was about GOD his purpose HIS PLAN LIFE MADE SENSE The GOD of the UNIVERSE made ALL THINGS look around nothing can EXPLAIN PERFECT HARMONY everything working TOGETHER with PERFECTION AN accident ya right , evolution Ya RIGHT Science exists only BECAUSE GOD gave us insight into just how FREAKING GREAT HE IS WAKE UP !!! you are CALLED to LIVE FOR HIM not YOURSELF
_________________________________________________________________
It is Grace that Sustains your Faith Without Grace Faith is not even Possible
_________________________________________________________________
I am a product of Grace To behold this TRUTH is a miracle in and of itself To be in fellowship with the Creator to be Loved instead of Shunned To be Bought to INSURE this relationship is almost unfathomable But he Did Not only for me but You also
_________________________________________________________________
While The BLOOD covers ALL of my Sin The CROSS offers Deliverance Knowing that these two Laws are at work FULLY in my life Is something to be in Awe of
_________________________________________________________________
God wants you to Draw Near to HIM Satan wants you to draw near to SIN
_________________________________________________________________
Be very mindful that God is ALWAYS drawing you to Himself Satan is ALWAYS trying to draw you away from God & to himself Always TRYING to MIMIC God in EVERYTHING GOD WILLFULLY calls you to HIMSELF NEVER pushing you away but ALWAYS drawing you closer Satan is ALWAYS Willfully PULLING you toward HIMSELF Always drawing you closer to SIN
_________________________________________________________________
Although sin may be gratifying it is Never Satisfied With a Continual LUST for MORE Gratifying yes Satisfying Certainly NOT For Sin is pleasurable for a time or a season But it ALWAYS leads to Despair and Absolute MISERY
_________________________________________________________________
The longer you put off Doing Gods Agenda The Larger your own Agenda becomes
_________________________________________________________________
Today's society views marriage as a contract when it does not work out , well terminate. God made marriage a COVENANT till death nothing can break a covenant . Marriage is a replica of God and the relationship that we have with him. He goes so fare as to call us his bride . Things will be hard
Good and bad but we have each other to lean on . Imagine God with a contract with us , o boy what would that look like . Well they changed , they did not do this up to my standard , they sin way to much.
Contract expired on to the next , God has grace and with out it marriages would not last . We are to give grace we are to love even when it does not feel right.
He made a covenant with his people US . That he would never leave us or forsake us. Marriage is to be the same a Covenant otherwise it is a contract and that is not of God it is today's society idea of a Covenant _________________________________________________________________
When you overcome something you MUST continue to OVERCOME For what ever it was that you have OVERCAME Has the opportunity to OVERCOME YOU once again If you do not CONTINUE to OVERCOME you shall be OVERCOME again
_________________________________________________________________
If you are CONSTANTLY looking BACK You will NEVER be able to look FORWARD to the FUTURE God has PLANNED for you
_________________________________________________________________
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you SEEK :- search for God he will reveal himself to you The KINGDOM:- Things you can not even conceive of with your mind HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS- The Holiness of God The Greatness of GOD Instruction from God THESE THINGS:- will be yours: Salvation ,Holy Spirit ,Discernment,Adoption into the Royal Family,Grace,Forgiveness,Righteousness,Faith,,Knowledge & Wisdom from GOD Love, Joy unspeakable, Peace that surpasses ALL understanding,Patience, Kindness, Goodness,Material Things, hearts desires according to His will, Eternal LIFE,Mercy Relationship with JESUS CHRIST . What are you WAITING FOR ???
_________________________________________________________________
When you allow the Holy Spirit to work in you & through you People around you will behold Gods righteousness inside you & they will shut their mouths & begin to watch their tongue Not because of who you are but because of Who's you are
ever notice how people will watch what they say around you? Not because they have so much respect for you but it is more about respect for God who they choose to mostly ignore that is until you come around lol
_________________________________________________________________
Man being this blessed just feels at times ridiculous lol
_________________________________________________________________
2 things that ALWAYS WANT MORE GREED & PRIDE _________________________________________________________________
So many do not want hear the TRUTH This is why so many do not want to read the WORD of GOD Because it is the TRUTH & This TRUTH will penetrate right to your CORE
_________________________________________________________________
Just in case you have not been told or need to hear it
I

Ponder this The perfect existence of everything in perfect harmony The sun Perfectly placed with perfect purpose Food with nutrients for the Human race and animals Plants that give off oxygen & trees that do the same Clouds to protect from harmful rays Rain to hydrate the earth & Humans Blood flowing through perfectly placed veins to every part of the body in seconds The human body in perfection all organs perfectly placed in need of all the things listed above Flowers ,bees to pollinate Perfect harmony of all insects & animals with each having predators keeping balance. Every creature with its purpose maintaining the earth.
Ponder this The mind The male The female perfect harmony and together WOW The making of a Human inside another Human everything in place for it even happen One having and needing one another The seed the egg the combining DNA Perfection by accident PLEASE There is not a calculator that could calculate the imposable number it would take to calculate all of this perfection happening by accident or over time .
Everything perfect in its place sun ,moon,stars,water,oxygen,nutrients to sustain,fruits,vegetables, meat,all sources to sustain our life and others life,clouds,rain,heat,photosynthesis,fall,winter,spring,summer,all perfection.
Ponder this Behold Gods glory Science with out God no science without God no nothing .Sorry big bang is a theory. Evolution taught as fact is a theory to many missing pieces There is room for evolution & God there has to be he created all things,Creation of earth and life How it began once again a Theory no facts to back it up. ALL taught as fact to me God is not only more intellectually sound than all of these theories you will find God in his CREATION look and ponder you will see him in all things the more you think of the IMPOSSIBILITY of it all happening by accident People who do not believe in the creator say science science science Well science can exist with God because he made all things. The things that are explained by science are all incomplete because he leaves just enough to show himself. Evolution yes things have evolved but it does not explain all things there are to many missing evidences to many inconsistencies . The big Bang is a Theory Why is it taught as fact? The creation and how scientist "think" it all started always starts out with " we think this happen or we think this or that happen. Nothing EVER is fact all hypothesis,ALL might of and could of THEORIES . And i am the one called crazy for not thinking this was some big accident lol
______________________________________________________________
I Thank God for my Family and all who support me For my Church Family who continues to hold me accountable as a Godly Man and a Husband, & Father . Thank you God for all you have done and continue to do in me and through me Thank you for my Wife who you have placed in m life , For truly NO OTHER woman could fulfill and complete my life and understand me the way she does Thank you for Being LORD over ALL above and below ALL things are possible THROUGH CHRIST MY LIFE was absolute sorry but it is the truth any how IT was absolute SHIT and now it is MORE than i COULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT THANK YOU GOD FOR ALL YOU DO you are WORTHY of ALL GLORY HONOR & PRAISE
______________________________________________________________
Are you Willing to be vulnerable enough to expose yourself & Speak of your faults your lows in order to CHANGE a LIFE ? When you do You have the POWER through your brokenness To redirect someone else s destiny Testify of what God has done for you So another can also be FREE
______________________________________________________________
For God seeks you Chases you Calling you every chance he gets Do you Hear him calling out to you Trying to Connect with you? To be Sought after Perused by the LIVING GOD is something Truly To be Grasped He wants to know YOU but he wants you to willingly want to know him He does CARE he ALWAYS has & ALWAYS WILL Talk to him He is waiting and willing To ANSWER ask him to come & he will COME
______________________________________________________________
A man that will not acknowledge the EVER PREVALENT sin IN his life Will NEVER be satisfied Without the intervention of the one who comes To take away the sin of the world You will die 2 deaths one Spiritual the other Physical For SIN leads to DEATH
______________________________________________________________
Shall God not send you through every trial NECESSARY in order to accomplish His WILL & PURPOSE ? For God alone shall DO as he pleases in order to bring about the best possible result. Results you could NEVER conceive in all of your rational thinking. But abundantly more when you EMBRACE these trials & consider them an HONOR to go through ,for such things will CONFORM you closer to the image of CHRIST. Blessed be the name of the LORD
______________________________________________________________
Be mindful what you place at the door of the LORD for it should not be all begging and pleading For such things will be unexceptionable in abundance But enter his courts with PRAISE & HONOR For he is more Worthy than your mind can conceive You MUST give your first fruits unto the LORD for you owe EVERYTHING to GOD One Must place Honor,Glory & Praise at the door of the LORD Before ALL and ABOVE ALL for God is the GREAT I AM & shall be treated as such
______________________________________________________________
Forgiveness is in fact a divine quality. To release wrong doing and unjust suffering to one undeserving ,in all our carnal ways is ludicrous on many levels. But from the spiritual heart that bleeds forgiveness the soothing calm & peace that follows down to the inmost parts Is truly remarkable and one can only describe this phenomenon as being a divine quality.
______________________________________________________________
DO NOT be held captive by the stupidity that may be found around you Instead RESIST it & distance yourself from ALL stupidity around you Or you may become like minded
______________________________________________________________
To know of God For God to know ME is something to be CHERISHED & NURTURED For not all know of HIM & his MAJESTY . For it is not only an HONOR & BLESSING To know such things it is a HIGH PRIVILEGE One that should NEVER be taken LIGHTLY For if not for GRACE i would still be LOST
______________________________________________________________
If you are living on a path to hell You can be assured you are going to drag others along with you Like wise if you are HEAVEN bound you should Bring others along with you
______________________________________________________________
The biggest investment you will ever make Is putting ALL your stock in JESUS CHRIST Your return will be fare richer than ANYTHING this world can offer you For your stock will continue to rise all the way to the heavens
______________________________________________________________
For whom should you have to prove God is real to For it is by Faith I know my God is real One need NOT defend God for He IS God & He shall be known by Faith & Faith alone My Proof lies in my deliverance My proof is God has done what I was powerless against That which was my Sin & giving me Victory in areas I could NOT have possibly done on my own. Such as deliverance from my sexual abusive past & deliverance from pornography that held me CAPTIVE for over 9yrs ,Alcohol & drug abuse to no end using sex as means for satisfaction only with no other purpose Trying to fill a void that can ONLY be FILLED by GOD & His Precious Holy Spirit The proof is in my Faith for he has done great & might things Through Faith by GRACE that is the ONLY proof one EVER needs FAITH
______________________________________________________________
satan is going to make sure you are still in the fight Be mindful of this Walk in the NEWNESS of CHRIST Why would you want to walk any other way
______________________________________________________________
One NEED NOT debate his or her Faith in JESUS CHRIST For it is ONLY by FAITH one comes to know of THE KING Faith to the unsaved carnal minded person is but foolish babble Therefor FAITH in CHRIST is NOT debatable Less you fall into the TRAP of the CARNAL minded FAITH can ONLY be grasped IN the Spiritual NOT carnally debating ones Faith in Christ does harm not good ______________________________________________________________
Do NOT put your life in your own hands than make a mess of it & Than Blame GOD Instead EXAMINE yourself and GET TO WORK
______________________________________________________________
Face Fear & TRAMPLE it under your feet where it belongs For you are NOT exercising the Power & Authority Christ has given you to trample fear under your feet For it is OVERCOMING the things you fear the most These are exactly what God wants to showcase to put your fear on display On the center stage for HIS GLORY and your FREEDOM
______________________________________________________________
Until you take up your Cross & Follow CHRIST putting your FAITH into ACTION You will continue to have doubt and never achieve ALL you are called to be IN CHRIST JESUS
______________________________________________________________
Does your talk match your WALK For MANY people talk a great talk But their WALK is crippling On the verge of Paralyses If you want to have your talk to match your Walk SEEK out TRUTH The word of God SEEK out THE LIFE Obeying the Word of God SEEK out THE WAY JESUS CHRIST Now Go live IT

Self pity is only a SIGN That WORK NEEDS To be DONE
____________________________________________________________
Do you measure your life measured to your standard There is only ONE standard to measure up to and that is Christ even though we fall short of this standard at least we are aiming for Perfection
____________________________________________________________
IF Christ truly lives in you There WILL be supernatural Evidence There WILL be supernatural happenings in your life If not you need to find out why Because THE HOLY SPIRIT is supernatural and your life should show it
____________________________________________________________
Truly it is a SUPERNATURAL work of THE HOLY SPIRIT When one gets SAVED When the Eyes have been opened and you begin to see the world For what it really is Think about it before you were saved you could not possibly SEE What you now SEE
____________________________________________________________
The Power of God is Within YOU So why do you Not exercise its Power You are FREE from your past so walk into the newness of CHRIST The New life that comes with it The chains are Broken so walk OUT of the prison of your past The door has been OPENED it is up to you to Walk OUT

Love God NOT the world for He has called us ALL to be set apart Where others go You CAN NOT what others do You CAN NOT How will those still in the dark be able to see without a light How can You be a light if You are also in the dark Come OUT of the dark world & be the light You were Created to be
____________________________________________________________
JESUS displayed his Love His ultimate display of Love was on the cross I stand completely amazed at this display of Love Now the expectation to display this Great Love is on US We are to display this Love to the world Display the Love of CHRIST daily
____________________________________________________________
Guard your tongue do not act as if you have no Restraint For you are able to guard it while in church & other places Where high character is expected Now be without Excuse and guard your tongue People are not only watching they are listening You Represent CHRIST everywhere you go
____________________________________________________________
Stay built up in your most Holy Faith For the attacks are Many The wicked are abounding keep the armor of God Polished Always ready to do battle For we ARE soldiers in God's army Do Not go to battle without your armor
____________________________________________________________
Do not blame others for your troubles This maybe part of the reason you have so many To much time blaming others not enough time TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS taking RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS In other words take care of your problems or they will CONTINUE to take care of YOU !!!
____________________________________________________________
When you get to the point were you are at the end of SELF It is at the very moment that God can begin to work in your life If you allow him to The end of self is the beginning of something beautiful
____________________________________________________________
The Kingdom comes through us we are to allow God to use us To help Build the Kingdom of God Thy Kingdom come thy will be done His will is to use us on earth To build His Kingdom we are not here to build out own little kingdoms If you are doing this STOP IT !! Be about our Father who is in Heaven's business HE is waiting on us to build the Kingdom so HIS WILL will be done as it is in HEAVEN
____________________________________________________________
We can only take things so far before we realize That God has to take it the rest of the way This is by design we are to be a living sacrifice holy and pleasing to our Lord When we sacrifice our own wants and needs and replace them with His wants and needs our lives become effective in so many ways Be a living sacrifice than be amazed at the results
____________________________________________________________
I find it quite amusing that some claim there is no God When all the while they have Conviction of their sin Why else would one go to such lengths to Hide what is done in the dark? Why not do what is done in the dark in the sight of all I tell you it is because you hide your sin because there is shame & guilt from the sin Repent & Confess Jesus as Savior be forgiven of ALL sin or Continue to live a lie That there is no just God who will come to cleanse the world of sin
____________________________________________________________
Are you sowing good seed love,peace,kindness,mercy For you will yield much fruit from what you sow good or bad Are you sowing bad seed hatred,drunkenness,drugging,sexual immorality Than upon such things you will reap what you have sown If you do not believe me all you have to do is examine the fruit of your ways
____________________________________________________________
It is Not that God is not big enough It is just that you have Not Allowed God To be big in your life We put limits on God ourselves
____________________________________________________________
Hey peeps just wanted to say just because I put this this stuff on facebook does not make me any less a sinner than anyone I am a sinner SAVED by GRACE and I know it I just like to share what the Spirit puts on my heart
____________________________________________________________
One thing we can predict about God is HE if faithful in ALL his Promises Other than that He is pretty unpredictable
____________________________________________________________
With so many false ministries and false teachings People are beginning to embrace this prosperity gospel This is NO gospel at all you do not need material things in order to be blessed Everyday is not a Friday and You will face many trials to build up your most Holy Faith So even if material things are not a reality you are blessed by default because The one who blesses lives in you making you blessed by default All you need is Jesus Christ in your life to be Blessed not material things
____________________________________________________________
For God has written the laws on mans Heart & Mind Therefor giving No one the excuse of right from wrong For you need not teach that stealing is a sin for the Lord convicts & you know You have stolen so let No one say I know not of God For he has sent His Spirit to convict the world of sin Anyone who Chooses not to acknowledge The Spirit will Not escape His Coming Wrath repent of your sin acknowledge and embrace TRUTH & be SAVED
____________________________________________________________
Lets keep it biblical people We represent The King We are royalty so make sure you got your your armor on
____________________________________________________________
Most people pursue the wrong things to break free of addictions Books, psychologist ,rehab , the pursuit of healing much is made of these things These become IDOLS these are not the answer Much needs to made of CHRIST pursue CHRIST Draw near to HIM and He will draw near to you Pursue JESUS CHRIST and he will deliver you stop pursuing IDOLS

I love your creed ntlsaved. I belong to a church and it is a sub set of the gospel of Jesus Christ just like many churches are. I am so looking forward to the day when Christ will bring all the faiths together. It is amazing how much your believe and mine have in common. Thanks for sharing

These are my latest Facebook post for the past week
Disclaimer
Be warned you may be inspired by what you read . you may get offended & if that is the case let me apologize right now because that is not and will never be my intent. My post are meant for reflection & self examination. If you do not agree with my post or my faith that is fine everyone is at a different place in their life & also has the right to believe in what they want . I will not argue or debate i just want to share what i feel the holy spirit directs me to write. If you feel it is not for you than that is just fine but if it touches you and causes you to reflect and take inventory of your life that is also great . I also believe god gives us all we need to overcome our situations & circumstances He gives us all we need to accomplish this . It is up to us to do the work. i always try to be honest & come with the truth and yes it hurts sometimes so brace yourself . if you can not handle it than stop now and turn back. if you disagree with it that is fine feel free to make your own thread please do not read if you do not take into consideration what this disclaimer explains . now it is on you . peace & blessings and may you be blessed and inspired to go to work
____________________________________________________________
Be and OVER COMER NOT An underachiever Except the FACT you are a child of GOD Not anything else God gives us EVERYTHING we need to OVER COME SO why settle for less because it IS a CHOICE
____________________________________________________________
You can want something all you want But if you do nothing about it The something whatever it may be will continue To elude you
____________________________________________________________
If you want something and yet have done Nothing Nothing is what you will get Doing nothing gets you Nothing
____________________________________________________________
-Paul David Washer-
It is not unloving to tell men that they are sinners, but it is the grossest form of immorality NOT to tell them!
____________________________________________________________
Pay close attention to the people around you For there are many hurting people all around and You could be the Cure
____________________________________________________________
In many cases people are not even aware they are capable of doing something That is because you have not shown them it is possible The world is watching you They NEED to see the JESUS in you Shine Than they will no it is possible for them to Shine
____________________________________________________________
When God has humbled someone to the point of a brokenheart over their sin it is Not a time for you to comfort them And disturb the Mighty hand of God For if you do The revelation will not come
____________________________________________________________
Do NOT be a part time church gower Only going when things are going bad and Expecting a full-time GOD If this is the case You can EXPECT more of the same troubles down the road This is not the proper veiw of our Great and Awesome GOD He is worthy of more!!! Do not be part time and Expected GOD TO be available On your terms This IS BLASPHEMY
____________________________________________________________
To call ANY man "The Holy Father" is not only blasphemous It is sickening to my heart It enthralls the very Gospel of CHRIST for "There is none holy as the LORD for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God" The pope is but mere man and anyone who calls him holy or father is dishonoring God By setting up man before God This is troubling to me "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, who is in heaven"
____________________________________________________________
To gain a tiny little spec of knowledge of Christ Is worth far more than anything anyone could Ever obtain To gain such immeasurable knowledge is a privilege and an honor
____________________________________________________________
Tradition of man made doctrines has taken over The TRUE GOSPEL Doctrines of man traded for the sacredness of THE WORD OF GOD Show me where you shall rub on beads and be forgiven in the GOSPEL Show me where you are to bow before men in robes as if they were THE CHRIST All for the sake of tradition make NO mistake God is not pleased with this For when the doctrines & MAN MADE traditions are set above the WORD OF GOD than man has exalted himself above the teachings of GOD Who is man that he might declare who is worthy of communion and who is not ? Read the Bible this shall be your measuring stick not tradition and doctrine
____________________________________________________________
Why do people pray to Mary instead of Christ ? It is clear Jesus says "I am the way and the truth and the life No one comes to the Father except through me" Why would one pray to anyone other than CHRIST our LORD IF Christ be lifted up he will draw all men unto him Am i missing something ? Is Paul or Peter or Mary more important than THE CHRIST I believe a great DECEPTION has continued through the years and someone MUST speak about it For FALSE doctrine MUST be exposed No man can forgive sin No priest can forgive sin ONLY CHRIST has that authority Pray to CHRIST not Mary ,Paul,Peter, Mere men and woman Pray to the Son of God The Christ
____________________________________________________________
Walking in the newness of Christ means Walking into you new Future Leaving the past where it rightfully belongs Stop allowing your yesterday to Determine your future
____________________________________________________________
Living this life and helping one another through our troubles Our ups and downs is truly something people should strive for For to love and care for ones well being is divine it is designed
____________________________________________________________
-Paul Washer- Salvation comes to everyone who believes. However, the validity of a man’s confession of faith is confirmed or proven false by his life.
____________________________________________________________
To say God is like anything our minds can conceive Is to sell our GOD short of ALL that HE IS For He IS like Nothing we can form in our minds Our limited minds shall Not understand the Limitlessness Of GOD For HE IS THE GREAT I AM Nothing in which to compare
____________________________________________________________
The conflict does not come from knowing the Truth The conflict comes in living it out
____________________________________________________________
Never believe yourself to be self sufficient For the sufficiency you do have comes from CHRIST and was NEVER yours to begin with
____________________________________________________________
When you decide to relinquish your self believed power And render it to whom it belongs to Which is unto GOD You shall stay in your current state or even worst You MUST deny self Pick up your cross and follow CHRIST
____________________________________________________________
Although man may subdue Truth for lies The Word of God shall NEVER be subdued By anyone or anything
____________________________________________________________
To Fathers and I mean to REAL FATHERS Happy Fathers day Just because you have children does NOT Qualify you to be a FATHER Taking RESPONSIBILITY for your children Loving them ,Providing for them,Being there for them ,Teaching them,Leading them,Guiding them,it takes MORE than child support to be a FATHER !!! Teaching them Biblical Principals ,what it takes to be a Godly man A Godly woman .These are just some of the Qualifications if you are not on this list Take inventory of your life and MAKE the changes to be an EFFECTIVE FATHER just because you are not a good father now does not mean you have to stay that way
____________________________________________________________
To begin to comprehend GOD Is to realize God appears At the beginning & the end of time simultaneously HE declares the end & beginning He Reigns in them both At the EXACT same time
____________________________________________________________
For the mind seeks out desires and lust of the flesh As The Spirit within directs thy path unto Righteousness and Truth Only the strength of The Spirit can subdue the powerful mind Of the flesh the powerful mind of deceit
____________________________________________________________
Make no mistake about it It is all by the Grace of God that I am in the Honored & Privileged position To be called a Father Thank you Jesus for turning my life around !!
____________________________________________________________
God is not in need of us but the contrary It is us that needs HIM for He lacks nothing For HE IS self sufficient while we are not All that HE IS we strive to be For he has to strive for nothing For all things are to himself for himself and by himself All sufficient all knowing He simply IS There is Nothing at all in which to compare Him by or to
____________________________________________________________
Until you face your problems it is like running toward a dead end street Until you turn around and Admit you are going the wrong direction You will continue going Nowhere Turn around and face the reality that you have been going the wrong direction Running away from your problems towards a dead end
____________________________________________________________
I refuse to except the Survivor label Although I was sexually abused I am NOT a Survivor of abuse I am and OVER COMER I am not a Survivor I have moved to Thriver If you keep a Survivor mentality that is what you will except yourself as Never moving past the past but staying stuck in it Become and OVER COMER and except your future change your way of thinking

____________________________________________________________
Man tries to explain away God at every turn Man will always try to escape what God has put before us all But we will NEVER escape the Moral Conscience God has placed on EVERYONE'S heart Science will never be able to escape this TRUTH
____________________________________________________________
When you are in a tough position in life When things seem as if they will not get better There is no better time than to put ALL of your trust All of you hope and the most important ingredient FAITH In GOD Than stand by and watch what He can do You will find out that ONLY God can do what you can not
____________________________________________________________
Your brokenness is only opportunity Opportunity for God to show you what he can do with it We all no what we do with it Give God a chance to show you what He can do with it Your life will never be the same
____________________________________________________________
So many people think hearing from God Is going to be this big majestic moment In some loud audible voice But it is that still small voice That whisper that always leads you unto righteousness
____________________________________________________________
The old saying goes when life gives you lemons you are to make lemonade Meaning you need to take bad situations and make them positive Now if you can make lemonade from lemons Just think God makes the lemons for you to use to make the lemonade He will not only give you what you need He is the creator of all you need
____________________________________________________________
Laying down self was the greatest thing I could have ever done Picking up the Cross is the smartest thing I have ever done Following Christ is the only thing to do Following self is the last thing I want to do
____________________________________________________________
I want to be All that God would have me to be Every day I want to grow closer to Christ In order for that to be possible one Must Die daily to self pick up the cross & follow CHRIST
____________________________________________________________
GOD is either in control or he is not
Which is it ?
If he is in control than you have to surrender to whatever his will is for your life and know that the outcome is going to bring you closer to perfection it is going to allow him to refine you and purify you He is willing to do what ever it takes His ways are truly not our ways because he is at the beginning and the end simultaneously he knows the outcome before it even begins so naturally he is going to take you the best possible route with the best possible outcome for the good of not only you but those around you and the lives that will also be effected
____________________________________________________________
Face your fears or they will continue to not only face you but they will continue to overcome you So I say OVERCOME your fears This place we stay is uncomfortable and miserable so I say go be uncomfortable and miserable while fighting through what ever it is that is making you paralyzed with fear or anxiety with the outcome that will take you to the next level Be uncomfortable for a time or stay uncomfortable for a life time The choice is clear No excuses only action
____________________________________________________________
To be apart from self is to be closer to God
____________________________________________________________
IN Christ Jesus the old has passed and the new has come through him. I have learned to leave that which is behind me because it died the day i excepted Christ . Excepting this truth allows me to live a life for him ,not a life for self. Living a life for self keeps the dead alive keeps the past in my present.
____________________________________________________________
Thank You God for Air conditioning and thank you for all the other things in my life I take for granted Thank you Thank you Thank you !!!!!
____________________________________________________________
-Paul Washer-
Those preachers who refuse to speak of sin, have no grounds for hoping that the Spirit of God is working among them to bring men to Christ.
____________________________________________________________
May the Lord allow me to ever evolve to higher and higher heights To be beheld by the creator is truly something to be grasped To know that God the creator of all things loves and cherishes me Is a wonderful feeling what a magnificent God I serve I Love you Jesus !!
____________________________________________________________
God will tare down the walls you have built up Brick by brick and use the exact same bricks Turn them into righteousness and lay a new Foundation This new foundation is CHRIST Allow GOD to transform the walls that you have built To keep people out Into a newly built foundation that will allow you To be who He CREATED YOU TO BE
____________________________________________________________
-Paul Washer-
Man is loaded down with guilt because he is guilty He needs God’s Word to expose his sin and bring him to repentance and faith in
____________________________________________________________
Love expresses itself differently through caring,compassion, discipline, even rejection Even if you do not feel love expressing itself through discipline At its core love can be found
____________________________________________________________
Our love and Gods love is different There are many facets of love Gods love will never do anything that will not provide The best possible outcome Our so called love will & can injure us All in the name of what we think is best not knowing the future consequence God knows the consequence God knows the outcome we do not
____________________________________________________________
Never ever question Gods love for you Gods love was SETTLED over 2,000 years ago ON THE CROSS Do not be deceived by your own feelings and emotions Do not doubt Gods love for you It has been settled NEVER FORGET THIS TRUTH
____________________________________________________________
There is nothing wrong with being a Christian Wanting to be all that God would have you to be The problem is we are in this flesh indulging our problems Exalting them above God , God is bigger than anything we put before him Excepting God Excepting his promises and truly standing on them Would eliminate most if not all that comes against us
____________________________________________________________
When someone dies people perceive it to be something final This is why so many have such a hard time with death But when you truly come to realize that death is not final Death is something so much bigger and better than what we can conceive of Death is not final it is only the beginning of true peace free of all this worlds troubles You are more free in death than alive on earth why wouldn't you want that for everyone ? Not so much death for everyone but a chance to be at peace true peace
____________________________________________________________
God takes the the broken and pieces them together he turns ashes into beauty He did it for me he can do it for you . Once addicted to drugs ,alcohol,pornography, selling drugs over 6yrs,broken from sexual abuse . I have no shame because I am free & free indeed HE has turned all those ashes into beauty He truly makes beautiful things out of the dust I am living proof
____________________________________________________________
Love is EXTREMELY found in Forgiveness
____________________________________________________________
For God to be found you will need to go were you do not want to go For God is not found in black and white God is found in the place we are uncomfortable with The grey area this is were He is found
____________________________________________________________
Only God can justify the ungodly NEVER try to justify within yourself For self ultimately leads to destruction NOT justification GODS justification is Indeed PERFECTION
____________________________________________________________
How much do we rely on manufactured happiness ? With the Holy Spirit you do not need manufactured anything The Holy Spirit sustains our Joy When you need to manifest or manipulate the human condition The Spirit has no part in that For the Holy Spirit is all one need
____________________________________________________________
-Paul Washer- Let me ask you a question, “Do You Have A Passion For God?”, “Do You Desire Him?”, “Do You Long For Him?” Yes, we all go through times in which our hearts are dull. Yes, we go through times when we need to be encourage. Yes, we all go through times when our eyes are mesmerize by things they should not be. Yes, we all struggle in that but if someone would look at your life would they say, “This person has a passion, not for ministry, not for missions, not for evangelism but for God.” ~Paul Washer,Sermon- Do you desire God?
____________________________________________________________
Whatever you are confessing in your life this is what you become If you live in fear this becomes your confession this is what you live If you live in worry and doubt this to will become your confession I confess Christ and what The Heavenly Father confesses about his Son I confess victory I confess boldness most importantly I confess that I am a Child of the Most High God therefore I can do ALL Things Through Christ I am More than a conquer because this is my confession I live this YOU CAN TO !!
____________________________________________________________
The world is so versed in deception making everyone feel as comfortable as it allows But there is one who overcame the world There is a blueprint and that blueprint is JESUS CHRIST Jesus followed the Father we are to follow CHRIST otherwise the world will keep winning
____________________________________________________________
Life is not going to stop it is not going to quit just because you decide to.
____________________________________________________________
When your soul is thirsty were do you go to quench it's thirst Chances are you will continue thirsting for ALL the wrong things Only one thing can satisfy the thirsting of the soul The living water CHRIST JESUS
____________________________________________________________
-Paul Washer-
THIS IS THE QUESTION
Do you look and act like the world? Do you know what your profession in Jesus Christ is? Nothing. (not every one who comes to me saying Lord, Lord will be in heaven). The question isn't do you know Jesus, but does Jesus know you?
____________________________________________________________
Allowing ANY thing or ANYONE come between your marriage Desecrates God's covenant this includes but not limited to Family,Friends,Addictions,Computers, Gadgets, Games Mother in laws, Father in laws,In Laws period. Anything that you Allow to come in has only one purpose to destroy what God put together Recognize the enemy (Satan) and who or what he is using to come Between God's Covenant Marriage & Evict the enemy
____________________________________________________________
The love of God can not possibly be contained For it is as infinite like the universe itself It grows every second of every minute everyday The love of God grows everyday
____________________________________________________________
Saying sorry does not cut it the damage is done Sorry never healed anything the scars are still there But forgiving does heal You recognize the scar is there but you realize the pain is no longer Sorry does not make it better but forgiving does wonders
____________________________________________________________
It is absolutely amazing what Sober eyes are able to see
____________________________________________________________
Thinking about doing and putting it into practice are 2 different things Just because you say you are working on something does not mean you are There has to be Action behind the working not just thinking Otherwise it is just a bunch of talk
____________________________________________________________
Do not call on God Only when trouble arises & expect miracles The miracle would be if you would not use God as an accessory to your life Something you could just take out and use only when you need Him Do not be part time and expect God to work full time If you are not doing the work why should He Than you want to blame Him When it all falls to pieces

____________________________________________________________
Make no mistake about it God will get ALL the Glory he will have it one way or another So you might as well get on board He will receive the glory With our with you
____________________________________________________________
God might not change your situation or circumstance but what he can do is change you&through your situations and circumstances
____________________________________________________________ -Paul Washer- He [God] needs nothing from you, so Him calling you to Himself, asking you to come and serve is not a need to be fulfilled, He’s offering you a privilege.
____________________________________________________________
A lot of the rich & famous have money,power,fame Things that even some Christians desire But most of all they want what us Christians have True peace ,joy and THE CHRIST
____________________________________________________________
There is only ONE place to go When things are to far gone for me to grasp & That is to The Father on my knee's looking up God's standard is the ONLY standard I need to live up to Not only that he will empower me to live up to that standard No question about it ____________________________________________________________
Never make other peoples problems Your problems For you have enough to deal with in your own life This has sent many to an early grave NOT ME
____________________________________________________________
-Paul Washer- I am talking about power, not to fall down on the ground and shake like a worm, not power to claim a Mercedes Benz, not power to say you healed somebody when, in fact, he didn’t get healed. I am talking about the power to live the Christian life, the power to walk in sacrificial love, the power to pray down strongholds, the power to preach the gospel. That is what I am talking about. That is what we need.
____________________________________________________________
If you are blessed to have people follow your lead The question is not how many are following The question is where are you leading them Be mindful of this if you are not leading them to a path of righteousness Than you are leading them astray
____________________________________________________________
Hug those who you love Make amends when needed Life truly is short all it takes is one phone call For your world to be turned upside down & than it is to late You really never no when someone you love will no longer be around For you to tell them just how much you love them
____________________________________________________________
Remember that God loves even his enemies Did not The Christ wash even Judas's feet For he came to be the ultimate example of a servant Not here is the order you carry it out No here is the order allow me to work through you to carry it out For left to ourselves serving would be on a term by term basis Not if we allow the Holy Spirit to work Through us serving is not optional
____________________________________________________________
Build with the tools God gives When the storm comes take out your God tools And GO TO WORK Let your Faith be strong Your foundation be Christ For all is Truly in HIS hands
____________________________________________________________
The faster you realize you are NOT your own The faster God can make you useable to help build the Kingdom of God Otherwise you are down here building your own little kingdoms If that is the case good luck with that
____________________________________________________________
If you think your life is to jacked up & have done To much for God to look down upon you with favor You are sadly Mistaken For it is people just like YOU who can bring HIM the most Glory
____________________________________________________________
Being Humble & Obedient go hand in hand
____________________________________________________________
Dysfunctional does not Realize It is dysfunctional until it is to late
____________________________________________________________
Recognize the profound effect that we have on one anothers lives We really need to make the most of all of the unique & purposeful encounters Ordained by God Life is not just about you Make a real difference in the lives of those your paths cross
____________________________________________________________
With darkness & chaos in my mind The LIGHT continues to Shine Continues to intertwine with darkness & OVERCOMES it Leaving behind only traces
____________________________________________________________
Even though you may not feel God He is ALWAYS a prayer away Sometimes the only place to find God is on your knees He is waiting for you to invite him in He loves you more than you can imagine do not go by your feelings He is deeper than feelings and emotions ask for direction Than wait for the answer and follow through He will come
____________________________________________________________
In your brokenness call out to the savior JESUS For it is in this condition we are willing to listen Sadly in our brokenness we are able to listen to that still small voice inside That whispers God's truth & understanding For it is in our lowest points we allow HIM to be EXALTED Rightfully where he belonged all along
____________________________________________________________
- Charles Spurgeon-
"The nearer a man lives to God the more intensely has he to mourn over his own evil heart."
____________________________________________________________
We are Not to judge the world but the body of Christ shall be judged strictly Show ourselves approved Some one has to speak Truth Joel Olsteen is a False prophet 2 Timothy 4:3 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires" The Gospel is NOT of prosperity People are being fed by the spoonful FALSE DOCTRINE all in hopes of prospering , we will suffer many things and have to give up a lot of things to follow CHRIST not money,power,fame , THINGS STOP watching this CRAP it is sending people to hell by the droves
____________________________________________________________
Seek not riches But contentment One only need Christ not all these other things Man tries to fill the empty void with riches & everything BUT CHRIST The ONLY thing that will fill the void Only HE can fill with Contentment
____________________________________________________________
Peace is better than Hate Feels better to Forgiveness is better than clinging to unforgiveness It is so freeing to Humility brings them both together
____________________________________________________________
Beware & on alert for the enemy is roaring around like lion Seeking just whose day he can wreck Seeking who he can use To throw you off your game Stay strong in the faith Stand your ground & call on the name of Jesus & make him flee you no he is coming You can NOT win a battle without your armor so put it on & USE it The full armor of God
____________________________________________________________
If Satan is not bothering the True Saints of God Than you might not be any kind of a threat For he wants to harass Gods True Saints so they will not accomplish Gods Will So if you are constantly harassed by the enemy just know you are a threat And With a strong Foundation & Faith In CHRIST No demon in hell can stop US !!!!!!!!
____________________________________________________________
Marriages fall apart because Christ is not the glue If Christ is the glue that binds you together It is an IMPOSSIBILITY for it to fall apart
____________________________________________________________ -Paul washer- “There is this idea today, I hear it all the time and it goes something like this.
A preacher gets up and waxing prophetically and goes, “There is just as much pornography in the church as outside of the church. There is just as much adultery in the church as outside of the church. There is just as much lying and thieving and everything else in the church as outside of the church. There is just as much wickedness in the church as outside of the church.”
No, there is not. No, there is not. The problem is what you are calling the church is not the Church. People have this idea that everyone on Sunday in a brick building is the Church . That is not true.”
____________________________________________________________
If your life looks no different than when you excepted Christ in your life Chances are you never really excepted him in the first place If you live the same lifestyle as before excepting Christ in your life Chances are you never really excepted anything but wishful thinking Christ changes your life if there is no evidence of a work that is still To this day not being continued by him through you Chances are he never knew you & will say depart from me you worker of iniquity
____________________________________________________________
Being a Christian is so much more then going to church Being a Christian is a life long process of sacrifice This sacrifice is a continual sacrificing of self Self desires Self wants Self habits All for the Glory of Him who died Every thing we struggle to give up Is everything the world has told us to hold onto Every thing Christ says must go Is backwards from everything the world says must stay

Psalm 121:1-2
I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
I heard this on a song that I downloaded on my iPhone. Then I just read in in Psalms. I didn't know it was from the Bible tho.

Most vehicles have a warning system when their fuel tank gets low. To prevent them from running out of gas. Then we stop and refuel it.. For Christians we need prayer , praise, and the word of God as our refueling. We need to keep our tanks full. We should not let our tank get low.

Maybe it would be better if you just tell people what they should or should not post on here then. The term food for thought is pretty random. I did not take offense to you saying what you said the first time but I guess you get upset when someone post on here it seems. I will choose to stay of your thread then. Sorry for any inconvenience my posts caused to you.

The Awareness of Sin did Not just appear out of nowhere it did Not pop out of Thin air Sin is Not man-made Conviction that God lays upon Every man woman's and even children's Hearts This is were the Awareness of Sin comes From
___________________________________________________________ Science is a tiny little peak at the Brilliance of GOD
___________________________________________________________
The only reason people deny the existence of God is so that they can run around being their own ___________________________________________________________
One if the biggest reasons some will never be able to fully reconcile themselves with God is because they are not Willing to give up the one thing most dear to them that Christ died for That being Their PAST
___________________________________________________________
For one to out run their troubles is an Impossibility for your troubles have far greater Stamina and Determination than your own ability to put any meaningful distance between you and your troubles No matter where you go to matter how far you go your troubles will be there waiting for you So stand and fight and Overcome

Prayers please May God be exalted to the highest may he use me in the full capacity at which he created me For this moment may these prisoners see in me Christ
I am going to minister to child molesters and sex offenders At the Lansing prison prayers needed earnestly please
___________________________________________________________
At Lansing correctional facility about to preach the gospel please pray that there be no glory found For myself but all glory be exalted to the one who sent me here Pray That hearts be softened and minds going to receive
___________________________________________________________
I witness grown men hardened by life & its hardships in prison Hearts Melting like butter breaking down with tears as God had used my testimony to penetrate their being
Truly humbled like never before I have never witnessed Anything so Powerful in my life I am Amazed at Gods Grace i truly realize what serving is all about to see people as Christ sees us ALL I asked for Christ to be Lord of my life and what did that look like ?and over the last few weeks he has shown me
To Do what He would Do Go where He would Go it ended up being a place I honestly do not think i would have gone. To a max prison to witness to child molesters sex offenders addicts and more . I have to admit that was never in my plans .
But as i reflect He has been grooming me for this from the church i attend to the places he has sent me the books i have read and the people He has placed in my life . Man today i saw the power of God take this wretch of a man that i am and use me for His Will His Purpose and it was better than anything i could have thought up or even imagined myself doing under my own will or ambition .
It was an honor and a privilege to be used in such a way. He used me to preach the Gospel to a gymnasium full of inmates and allowed me to teach a victim impact group for an hour . To see men with the taste of hope in their eyes their hearts pouring out with questions and with Ernest ears wanting and hanging on every word not because of me but what God had been doing through me .
Un freaking believable to be used in such a way that the Spirit took over my lips and poured out in 2 and a half hours unscripted knowledge wisdom and power that could only have come from on high Wow
___________________________________________________________
I witness a young man realize for the first time that he was someone that he was somebody and as he teared up and told me "thank you my heart was touched for the first time"
and as he slapped his chest lightly in tears and said " for me man that is something"
He was standing in unbelief that it had happened that God penetrated his heart and showed him that he could be a child of God
realizing that God loved him and through me he could see that he could be changed
I am in tears thinking wow He is going to make it he has something he had never had HOPE

Pride of men in all their knowledge of God Living life as if the laws of Almighty God are not written on their hearts Is not only a disgrace but shameful
___________________________________________________________
Doing the Will of God Far outweighs Your own AMBITION
___________________________________________________________
Atheist Someone who dims their conscious only to continue to live life as their own God Even though it is impossible not to believe in God For he writes His Laws on EVERY MANS heart So it is a conscious decision to Evade his constant attempts To Reveal himself to you The word says only a Fool says their is no God Don't be that Guy
___________________________________________________________
Do Not exalt the man Exalt The One who Created the man ___________________________________________________________
It is an impossibility to quit sin And because God has no place in all of Heaven for sinners to dwell You might want to consider Accepting Salvation that which was freely Given to All sinners Through Jesus Christ
___________________________________________________________
No that Unforgiveness stems from Your own Will Exalting Your own Will above The Most High in doing so your heart will Continue to be Hardened Your mind full of Strife and your Spirit will be filled with hatred At any given time you can choose Willfully to Forgive and Have the Peace of God that Surpasses ALL Understanding dealing with sin Forever ___________________________________________________________
Man is a product of influence all around him The will that is within man is Not a Godly will at all In Fact it is the exact Opposite This is the reason one Must go to God Seeking Purposely His Good & Perfect Will For man's will Is deceitfully wicked Apart from God Therefore there is no such thing as a "good person" For None is Truly good but The Father ___________________________________________________________
When truth is revealed to your heart and you do not submit And Obey the Truth Revealed what are you really doing? You are Willfully Disobeying the very Will of God For God Is Truth The Only Way the Only Life ___________________________________________________________
Recovery is something that will be ongoing for life Salvation is a lot like Recovery It is something that will have to be Worked out for the rest of this life
___________________________________________________________
Loving God is an Action Faith must have Action to Succeed Without Love Faith will Die Do not Allow your Love for God to Grow cold but Renew your Love for Him Daily He renews his Love & Faith in All of us Daily Praise God ___________________________________________________________ There is a tree that is producing fruit that grew out of the most terrible conditions This tree has miracle grow Called the Holy Spirit This tree is me
___________________________________________________________
Trying to Earn mans favor instead of Drawing Nearer to God is Foolish If God is Pleased with You EVERYTHING else Will fall into place ___________________________________________________________
Fearing man only brings upon yourself unnecessary anguish For Trusting In The Lord Not only outweighs Any fear known to man There is Certain Victory In doing so
___________________________________________________________
Christ has Forgiven Your MASSIVE Debt Paid in Full So why do you despise your fellow brethren over puny & petty things? Shall you Not Forgive Anyone Who offends For many offenses towards God are Forgiven & Renewed On a Daily Basis
___________________________________________________________ The reason so many people never come to know the riches of His Glory Is because they have to much Faith in their Doubt
___________________________________________________________ Surely if a man were to seek God He would show him the Foolishness that is Bound in his heart and Surely untangle the Prideful mess but as it stands the fool stands bound by his own willful disobedience to the the laws God himself has place upon his very being ___________________________________________________________
Do not be who you are Be who God created you to be

Step- Father
Step Father Steps up to the plate in place of the Absentee father Step Father steps in the shoes of the one unwilling to walk in the shoes of FATHER Step Father Steps into the role every child deserves to have Step Father Steps his way into the lives of Gods precious gifts Step Father Steps in for Birthdays Holidays Every day Step Father Steps through life's trials ups & downs to comfort hurting little souls The role should be reversed I am the Father You stepped out I Stepped in You are Step- father I am the Father

Instead of Retreating from your Own Denial Stand and Face the Source of Your problem take Responsibility become Accountable Then OVERCOME
___________________________________________________________ The quote came from Dr Lockridge this is a truly Awesome quote if you can halfway wrap your mind around this than you will understand that we are nothing without the creator God is limitless You may not say He is like Because He is not like Anything He simply IS
"The reason God came from nowhere, was there was nowhere for Him to come from. And coming from nowhere, He stood on nothing for there was nowhere for Him to stand. And standing on nothing, He reached out where there was nowhere to reach and caught something where there was nothing to catch, and hung something on nothing, and told it to stay there. ”There is Nothing in Which to compare God Is The Great I Am"
___________________________________________________________
The will of God is so much better than Anything we could come up with It is not that people do not believe God exists It is just they have never allowed Him access to their life They believe in being their own God & God will let you But know this you may choose to humble yourself & Acknowledge The one who spoke us all into existence Giving up your own will & Allowing Gods good & Perfect Will to make your path strait ___________________________________________________________
My King is the key to knowledge: The wellspring of wisdom; the doorway of deliverance; the pathway of peace; the roadway of righteousness; the highway of holiness, and the gateway of glory!
His office is manifold: His promise is sure. His light is matchless. His goodness is limitless. His mercy is everlasting. His reign is Righteous. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.
I wish I could describe Him for you, but He’s indescribable! He’s Incomprehensible! He’s invincible! He’s Irresistible!
You can’t get Him out of your mind or off your hands! You can’t out-live Him and you can’t live without Him! The Pharisees couldn’t stand Him, but they found out they couldn’t stop Him. Pilate couldn’t find any fault in Him. The witnesses couldn’t agree. Herod couldn’t kill Him. Death couldn’t handle Him, and the grave couldn’t hold Him!
That’s my King, That’s my King, That’s my King, and He’s the kingdom and the power and the glory – Forever! AMEN!!! I wonder…do you know Him? – Rev. SM Lockridge-

Wallowing in self pity enables one to loose sight of your achievements as if you have not achieved anything The depths of self pity have no end Knowing this Snap out of it & be present

Blessed our we For have awoken to see another day Blessed are we for little things as well as the bigger things we take for granite each day Thank you Lord for Today
___________________________________________________________
Sometimes its not a status update people Its called SPAM
___________________________________________________________ Stop feeding your fears & feed your Faith Starve your doubts Live your purpose In Christ Do not listen to the world But listen to The Word of God Know Who you are In Christ Jesus & Know Who's you are Now walk In The newness Of Christ
___________________________________________________________
Being a Christian is a full time duty not part time You do not want a part time God Therefore stop calling on God only when it is convenient for you Be about The Fathers business Not your own LIVE
___________________________________________________________ I do not understand how marriages are failing & yet there are only about 20 people in marriage enrichment at church Then wonder why things are not working .
___________________________________________________________
Everyone Talks about Change in the new year but still want to live the Old lifestyle Everyone wants change but Not WILLING to put in the WORK Stop talking about Change Do The Work & Live it out ___________________________________________________________ God will not be mocked Men who mock God will See the harvest they have sown Pay attention when the harvest comes You will notice things no longer Swinging in your favor but chaos and dysfunction all around you Reaping what you have sown ___________________________________________________________
We all have choices You can wallow in your own guilt and shame of the past You can wallow in your self pity or you can CHANGE

He forgives sinners, He discharges debtors, He delivers captives, He defends the feeble, He blesses the young, He serves the unfortunate, He regards the aged, He rewards the diligent, He beautifies the meek. Do you know Him?
Well, my king is the king of knowledge, He’s the well-spring of wisdom, He’s the doorway of deliverance, He’s the pathway of peace, He’s the roadway of righteousness, He’s the highway of holiness He’s the gateway of glory, He’s the master of the mighty, He’s the captain of the conquerors, He’s the head of the heroes, He’s the leader of the legislators, He’s the overseer of the overcomers, He’s the governor of governors, He’s the prince of princes, He’s the king of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
His life is matchless. His goodness is limitless. His mercy is everlasting. His love never changes. His word is enough. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Well. I wish I could describe Him to you. But He’s indescribable. Yes. He’s incomprehensible. He’s invincible, He’s irresistible. I’m trying to tell you, the Heavens cannot contain Him, let alone a man explain Him. You can’t get Him out of your mind. You can’t get Him off of your hands. You can’t outlive Him, and you can’t live without Him. Well. The Pharisees couldn’t stand Him, but they found out they couldn’t stop Him. Pilate couldn’t find any fault in Him. Herod couldn’t kill Him. Death couldn’t handle Him and the grave couldn’t hold Him. That’s my king!
He always has been, and He always will be. I’m talking about He [who] had no predecessor and He [who] has no successor. There was nobody before Him and there will be nobody after Him. You can’t impeach Him, and He’s not going to resign. We try to get prestige and honor and glory to ourselves, but the glory is all His. Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, and ever, and ever, and ever. How long is that? And ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and when you get through with all of the forevers, then 'Amen'."
“Oh I wish I could describe him to you.”

There are so many people trying to discredit Christ instead of looking for ways to just simply Believe Their agenda is to discredit Christ in order to live their life for themselves ___________________________________________________________
Everyone has this thing called a Conscious and people try to justify themselves when they break the laws God has placed upon each of us The problem is that justification can Not come from yourself Justification Only comes From Christ
___________________________________________________________
You will have to change your view of God in order to fulfill the lust of your flesh Your view will turn to compromise your theology of Everything you no to be true about God will change in order to Justify your actions The problem is that God is Not going to compromise or change Recognize you have
