What Do I Believe About Myself?

8/10/2010

I'm spending more time reading, studying, and understanding the Word of God, then applying it to my life. I'm focussed on allowing God to work on every aspect of my life. I'm developing my faith and trusting in Him. I'm pursuing His purposes for me. I want to live a purposeful and passionate christian life.

I call myself a radical disciple for Christ...

What does that statement mean?

To me, it means following Him with total abandon, embracing life as it comes, loving and accepting others, living like He lived, and doing what He did...

Yes, I stumble at times. I fall, but get back up. I move forward, never giving up nor looking back.

I'm learning that I'm not perfect. But neither are you. Only one is. He's the one who accepts me, just as I am, and helps me become the best me I can be.

I'm learning that being religious, isn't God's plan, and doesn't lead to life but bondage and fear.

I'm learning that I don't have to have all the answers...

I'm learning that I cannot change anyone but myself...

I'm learning to live and let live... and learning to love others...

I'm learning that life is hard....

sometimes it's painful, disappointing, frustrating, and even unfair...

but I'm learning to embrace it anyway, knowing that as long as God is there with me, I can make it through the storms. I learning to rise above the circumstances, and learning how to overcome the challenges. I'm becoming stronger, gaining wisdom and conquering fear...

and it's not just for myself, but for those who share my life's experiences with me...

friends, family, coworkers, everyone and every place my life touches.

I want others to see me as a living example of what happens when you follow hard after God...

and let them know that He's no respector of persons...

what He done in my life is a testimony of His care, love and faithfulness and He wants that for everybody...

Let's begin the journey, knowing that He is there for me...

and for you!

prelude to my autobiography/testimony

HERE’S WHAT I CALL A SPIRITUAL FORTUNE COOKIE: IT’S A PROVERB WRAPPED INSIDE A POETIC MESSAGE SIN BINDS BODIES AND BLINDS TRUTH, BEGUILES BELIEF, AND BETRAYS TRUST. SIN A SLITHERING SERPENT THAT SLIDES THROUGH YOUR SOUL AND ENTANGLES YOUR EMOTIONS. SIN IS A STRANGLING SPIRIT, A DEMONIC DECEPTION THAT CRUSHES YOUR CONSCIOUS CONTROL. SIN SEEMS COMFORTING LIKE BEING WRAPPED IN A WARM BLANKET, BUT IS REALLY A CONTROLLING CLOAK THAT CAPTURES YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. SIN IS A DEMONIC DECEPTION THAT MASTERS YOUR MIND AND MOTIVATES YOUR MOODS. RIGHTEOUSNESS DELIVERS FROM DEATH AND DESTROYS THE DECEIVER. RIGHTEOUSNESS LIBERATES FROM THE CAPTIVITY AND CONTROL OF THE POWERS OF PERDITION. RIGHTEOUSNESS VALIDATES VICTORY AND TEACHES TRUTHFULNESS AND TRUST. RIGHTEOUSNESS REDEEMS FROM THE CURSE AND REMOVES THE CANCEROUS CAUSE. RIGHTEOUSNESS REVEALS TRUTH AND TRIUMPHS OVER TORMENT. RIGHTEOUSNESS ILLUMINATES THE DARKNESSAND ENLIGHTENS THE DESPERATION. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS GOD CONSCIOUSNESS, IS MINDF...

HAVE YOU BEEN POISONED?

How you can tell when you’ve been poisoned . Your actions and attitudes are toxic ! Toxic thoughts lead to toxic actions. Toxic thinking poisons others around us.

Speaking, thinking and acting positive activates life in you, around you, and gives life (energy) to others.

THE VALUES OF SECOND-HAND REVELATION AND MINISTRY ASSOCIATIONS

Or another way of saying this... TO ALL THOSE “HATERS” OF MEGA-MINISTRY LEADERSHIP ;) We always need to constantly and consistently be receiving first-hand revelation from God. We all should also be developing a first-hand relationship with the LORD Himself. Both should first come by through reading and studying His Word. However, I’m also extremely thankful and grateful to God for the second hand revelation and ministry associations of 3 other ministers of the gospel. It was through them that I received a proper scriptural and spiritual foundational in my life and ministry. It was like attending Bible School. Those 3 people are: DR. CREFLO A. DOLLAR, JOYCE MEYER, and especially, DR. CHARLES STANLEY. When I first rededicated my life to Him and He baptized me in the Holy Ghost, His Spirit led me into a deeper understanding and relationship with Him. Then God did something that would be beneficial for me. God knew that I needed to be under some strong Biblical ministry leadership. He co...
