Life's Lessons with God

Image
Greetings and salutations. I'm back to share my experiences in the last few years. Since we last spoke I've experienced ups and downs, fears and security, life and death, all with which provided me experiences with God that many tend to write off as coincidences. First I was supposed to marry the girl of my dreams after she concluded her surgery.  She had a vestibular schwanoma. That my dear friends is a tumor on the hearing nerve. Well needless to say during her recovery, I was flailing and faltering my way down to rock bottom, job after job, excuse and lie one after another. All while being self involved and not being by her side through therapies and recovery under the guise of "trying to be a provider". I finally lost all jobs except my part time handler job at FedEx airport, lost my car and was using my moped as mode of transportation. I just had an interview with a shoe in job at Amazon through their temp agencey on a beautiful October morning. I went to upda...

The Importance of the Bible in Your Life TODAY!

Image
 I just wanted to say sorry to all my readers out there who haven't seen a post from me in quite some time. I have been going through some personal issues over the course of the last few years. But Thank God I'm in a better place, continuing to grow spiritually. I kind of had a downward spiral in the year 2013 after leaving my job in search of better opportunities. I guess you could say I got too confident in my spirituality and almost had the attitude of the Pharisee's. But after much needed discipline from my celestial Father, I am proud to say I'm back and more humble.  How did I do that. Well I got back to the basics of Christianity...........God's Word. I started reading the Bible more open heartedly rather than looking for key points to use in my evangelic mission. Kind of like you'd find in the bible in Jeremiah 15:16 NASB "Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been call...

The Glory of God is in ME!

The Glory of God is in ME! Hello friends and welcome back to another wonderful edition of Biblical studies.  I am going to discuss a personal revelation that came to me in my mind one day and want to share.  Again by all means I may not be 100% correct but this is how God has touched me and love to receive feedback on what you guys think as well. Today’s discussion….The Glory of God. Now the subject in which I will be speaking, will be only the tip of the iceberg and as I study more I will further indulge into a more detailed account but for now I will go with what I do know.  I have heard a lot in my church lately and all through growing up in the church… ”Glory be to God” or “Does this give Glory to God”   or of course the old Hymn classics such as “To God be the Glory”  and  “Glory to God in the Highest” These are classic sayings and hymns in any church that some may have grown up with.  Now what does the title of this discussion really me...

The Power of Fasting and Prayer

Image
Hi today we are going to discuss the joys of fasting! Do you know what fasting is all about? Its about connecting yourself with God........think of yourself as a solar powered device.........everyday in order to run you need energy! You must set yourself before the sun or in this case the Son! Then we have the ability to run and go! But in order to keep ourselves going we need to charge ourselves humbly in Jesus. Let his comfort hold us, and feel his presence! So as we further unfold the powers of fasting let us reflect upon the true spirit of the key ingredients to fasting before the Lord! Fasting is a form of sacrafice that we all can do even today! But we have to humble ourselves before Him. You have 3 different kinds of fasts that you can do! The type of fasts that you can do is obviously chosen up to you! And it varies from circumstance to situation depending on the reason you are fasting, the length of time you want to sacrafice to God to show your willingness to bow to his will...

Armor of God

Image
  Hello and sorry for taking some time getting back on here!   I had to do a little research on the subject. Also I had a fundraising even for the American Heart Association in which case me and a few other guys from work raised a total of $2,175 as a team for my company!   But God has been tugging on my heart on something and so I figured I’d share it with you tonight!   Let’s first turn in our Bibles and read: Ephesians 6:10-20: 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places . 13 Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having gi...

The Gift of Forgiveness

Image
What is forgiveness?  Well in two dictionaries that I have seen here are the following definitions: "to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offense or debt" "to give up resentment of or claim to requital for" Well to me those are very good accounts of forgiveness.  Forgiveness is the action for those who are victims.  Not always neccessarily the guilty.  Today i want to share a few words about what forgiveness is really about and why it is important to understand and make it a valued practice in our lives.  Then later I will share a personal testimony of my experience with Forgivness. 1st thing we have to remember or acknowledge is that forgiveness is one of the  hardest things we are going to have to endure in our lifetime.  No one wants to let go of that pain and hurt that someone has caused us.  We want to hold onto that and hold it above the one who hurt us' head.  We want them to feel our pain....

Compassion

Compassion Today I’d like to talk about Compassion and what it means to have compassion.   Or what it means to show compassion.   You could show compassion to friends, family, fellow Christians, or more importantly the non-believers in the world.   The Bible talks a lot about compassion.   But first we have to look at what the word really means.   I believe it has a little bit of love, a little mercy, and a dash of concern.   Sounds a lot like a recipe right?   Well in order to be compassionate you need these vital things.   Now let’s break them down by each ingredient. Love-Well Jesus’ greatest commandments was ”And Jesus replied:   Love the Lord your God Almighty with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’: -Matthew 22:37-39 See not only is it a love for God but a love for your neighbor.   I’ve hear...
