Hey everyone! It has been a LONG TIME since I have been here. It has been 5 whole years since my last poem/blog. I asked myself “what happened?”, “why did I stop writing?”, “why did I wait so long to come back?” Well folks! Guess what? Life happens! At that time…life was REALLY happening to me. Can I be open and honest with you? I went through my phases of being mad at God for everything I had been through, all the mistakes I had made, and other things. I went through my phases of feeling ashamed and down about the decisions I had made during those five years and thought to myself “God don’t want to hear from me. Nobody will want to read my blogs or listen to me because of the decisions I made.” I became silent…I allowed the enemy in to warp my thinking. As time passed I realized “WAIT A MINUTE! IM GIVING THE ENEMY VICTORY OVER ME WHEN THE BATTLE HAS ALREADY BEEN WON!” I prayed to the Lord and thanked him for opening my eyes to SEE…REALLY SEE….i realized…I struggled because I did not have enough word on my situations and circumstances. I kept falling because I didn’t understand His love and grace for me. I began to confess all the scriptures I knew to get myself together. Here is the first one: Isaiah 53:5 “But he was pierced because of our rebellion, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on him, and we are healed by his wounds.” This was a scripture I prayed and confessed consistently!
Let’s look at some more word that helped me “shape up”:
Matthew 4:4 He answered, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” What does this mean? I WILL TELL YOU. It means that we are to stand on EVERY SINGLE WORD that God gives and says because it helps us to live in this present world with all that is going on.
James 1:8 “A person who has doubts is thinking about two different things at the same time and can’t make up his mind about anything.” The King James Version says it this way “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” I made up in my mind that I did not want to be double minded in anything that I think or do…matter of fact I didn’t want to be double-minded in any way shape or form. God made it simple for me : “Either your going to serve me or your not.” Uh oh! We cannot play both sides! You know what that is called? BEING LUKEWARM…..What does God say to those who are lukewarm? Revelation 3:16 “But since you are lukewarm and not hot or cold, I’m going to spit you out of my mouth.” Woah! You think that is what God wants? No! So lets back up…. Revelation 3:15 “I know what you have done, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.” God wishes that we would all just choose a side either we are going to be hot and serve him with fire! Or we are going to walk away and stay with the world and be cold. I don’t choose to be cold but hot and on fire for the Lord!
This brings me to the last part of this post…….we have no one to blame for our fallen away but ourselves. The enemy does not have power over you unless you allow it (Ephesians 4:27)! Your sin does not control you unless you allow it (Romans 6:14)! We draw ourselves away by our own desires and lust, its not God’s fault, and one thing is for sure WE CAN ENDURE (James 1:12-15). God gives us a mandate (an order) and that is to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteous KNOWING that everything is going to fall into place (Matthew 6:33).
I wrote this today to let you guys know THE FIRE IS BACK IN FULL EFFECT. Souls need saving, people need love and encouragement, people need to hear the word of the Lord, the Kingdom of God and will of God needs to be known and demonstrated through the body of Christ for the world to see and grab ahold of….
I am here to help you and others around (including myself). I have work to do! As the scripture says! Ephesians 4:29 “Don’t say anything that would hurt another person. Instead, speak only what is good so that you can give help wherever it is needed. That way, what you say will help those who hear you.”
I PRAY THIS BLESSES EVERYONE WHO READS THIS!
