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!

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. Eventually toxic thinking leads to death (dreams). Watch out that the toxics around you don’t get inside you . How do you counteract toxicity? Speaking, thinking and acting positive activates life in you, around you, and gives life (energy) to others.

My experience at PODD for Men’s Fellowship

Being at the PODD felt like being at home, but I’m all grown up now . Don’t get me wrong. I loved the praise and worship music team. They really brought us into the presence of God. I loved rejoining with my brothers in Christ. It was good greeting my former pastor and friend. It’s felt good remembering all of the good times, and the not so good times we had there. But I’m not supposed to remain there. Now I belong to a new church, and a new body of believers. Eventually, I had to leave for my new home , and be with my new family .

Dealing with marital differences

I find the more I talk to people, the more they tell me the number one thing that is frustrating them in marriage, they don’t understand their spouse . Men don’t understand women, women don’t understand men. Being around women most of the time has given me some insight on how they think, how they feel, and how they react to situations. Guess what guys? God made them different from us. But thank God, He gives us the blueprint to help us, the Bible. My suggestion is this: Whenever you feel really frustrated or anxious about your wife’s behavior and her attitude, take your Bible and go into your prayer closet. Pray this prayer, “Father God, please change ME to deal with my wife in a way that honors you”. Right now, I probably lost 99% of you with that prayer. I know you would rather be like James and John and ask the Lord to rain down fire on your wife’s head. Maybe then she would submit herself to your leadership. But trust me on this. If you are truly seeking God’s will for your life, y...
