JESUS IS COMING BACK TO TAKE HIS BRIDE VERY SOON! GOD CALLED ME BACK FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY OWN HELL (READ THE POST BELOW), TO TELL ME WHAT HE NEEDED ME TO DO! GO AND PREACH THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST!
WE ALL NEED TO GET OUR MINDS ON CHRIST! WE NEED TO GET OUR EYES OFF OUR FAVORITE FOOTBALL TEAM, OUR CHURCH PROGRAMS, AND STOP MAKING THEM OUR ENTIRE LIFE! THEY CAN BECOME IDOLS AND PULL US FURTHER AWAY FROM GOD AND WHAT HE WANTS FOR OUR LIVES! WE SHOULD ALL BE ON OUR KNEES & GETTING OURSELVES TOGETHER, READING HIS WORD DAILY AND SPENDING OUR TIME WISELY, FOR WE WILL FACE JUDGMENT FOR HOW WE HAVE SPENT OUR TIME ON THIS EARTH, AND FOR EVERY CARELESS WORD WE SPEAK! (MATTHEW 12:3 6). THERE ARE PEOPLE CRYING OUT FOR GOD, DON'T YOU HEAR THEM? AND NOBODY IS ANSWERING THE CALL!
It's time to get our eyes off of ourselves and start looking around for those who are suffering, those who are hurting, sure the post below shows my pain, suffering, hurt, betrayal, etc., but it makes me no less a Christian now does it? This blog was written for many reasons. So people would know who I am, where I come from, the sins I have committed, which I am not afraid to admit because Christ already died for them and they were buried with him, and God has forgiven them, forgotten them and removed them from his sight as far as the east is from the west, (Psalm 103:12), and I am not ashamed to admit my sin if it SAVES JUST ONE PERSON! Believe me, I have one hell of a testimony! IF SOMEONE WILL JUST GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK! "Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God." (1 Peter 4:11a).
Paul said, "This one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining towards what is ahead." (Philippians 3:13). Think for a moment: What would Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus, the most notorious Pharisee/killer/torturer of Christians see if he had ever looked over his shoulder? HE WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTHLESS TO GOD, JUST LIKE I HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS! Not looking behind is what I've been trying to do, and have been quite successful at it but people like my pastor think I need a "program" to recover from my past when Christ has done the work already! I may talk too much, but I think it's because I'm meant to be a motivational speaker or maybe get up and tell my story so that I CAN SAVE THOSE WHO ARE LOST! Again, 1 Peter 4:11 a spells it out very clearly. It's what I've been called to do. I now know for sure that that "program" was a detour. I WANT TO SAVE PEOPLE, GOD ALREADY SAVED ME AND I DON'T NEED NO CHIPS, 12 STEPS, OR ANY OF THAT TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE HAS CALLED ME TO ACCOMPLISH! He has already prepared me for the battle to come and I AM READY! BRING IT ON!
Time to die to self church. CRUCIFY YOUR FLESH, PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW THE ONE WHO SAVED US ALL! Be cleansed of your sin, erase what you've become, let go of the past and start again! Let go of what you've done. It's only holding you back. Let's get out there and do what we were called to do by Christ Himself!
IT'S CALLED "THE GREAT COMMISSION!"
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. THEREFORE GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:16-20)
THE CLOCK IS TICKING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. NOW GET OUT THERE AND DO AS CHRIST COMMANDED YOU TO DO! WE ARE ALL SINNERS, BUT CONFESS IT, AND HE WILL FORGIVE IT! (1 John 1:9). Time to erase yourself. Live for Christ, become Christ. For you owe Him your very life. Forgive yourself and forget about it, just like God has forgotten what you've done to be remembered no more!
Let mercy come and wash away all the wrongs that we have done. Start again, even if you have doubts. Just get on your knees and pray for God to give you the strength you will need, You may lose some friends, and that will hurt, but just remember, what you say, will stick after the rapture. Then, perhaps you will still have a chance to see them in heaven if they refuse to take the mark of the beast. (Revelation 13:16-17)
I fear no man, no woman, no government, I know God is with me, as He is with us all! And "if God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31). But we also need to have a reverential fear of God. Mine? It make me joyful! Knowing I am walking in faith, with Him at my side, all the time, watching me, listening to me, it makes me want to do more to please Him! That reverential fear, is more like a reverential friendship of joy, caution, and everlasting peace! Do not think of it as "fear" because that is not what comes from it! "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." (Proverbs 9:10).
I can sit here and write - that I am in full obedience to Christ. I have "surrendered all." All that I have. All that I am is His. I am His. He is mine. That will never change.
