LIVING WITH A PSYCHO


YOU KNOW, I SOMETIMES WONDER WHAT GOES ON WITH ME.

ONE MINUTE, I GET UP IN THE EARLY MORNING AND IMMEDIATELY GO TO MY QUIET PLACE TO TALK WITH GOD. THE NEXT MINUTE, I’M LOOSING MY TEMPER AND YELLING. ONE MOMENT, I’M READING MY BIBLE AND JOURNALING THE THINGS THE LORD IS SAYING TO ME. THE NEXT MOMENT, I’M GOSSIPING TO SOMEONE ABOUT MY CO-WORKER. ONE MINUTE, I’M TEACHING MY KIDS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL ABOUT JESUS. THE NEXT, I’M HONKING IMPATIENTLY AT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME FOR DRIVING TOO SLOW.

IT’S LIKE I’M LIVING WITH A PSYCHO, ACTING LIKE A CHRISTIAN ONE MOMENT, THEN ACTING LIKE THE DEVIL THE NEXT!

THE APOSTLE PAUL OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTOOD THIS. HE WROTE IN ROMANS 7:15…

15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.

BECAUSE WE’RE STILL DEALING WITH THE SIN NATURE IN US, WE SOMETIMES STRUGGLE WITH OBEYING GOD AND HIS WORD. WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MAKE THE CHOICE WHICH NATURE WILL WE FOLLOW. WE’LL ALWAYS MAKE MISTAKES. SOMETIMES WE SLIP INTO BAD HABITS LIKE WE SLIP ON A PAIR OF OUR FAVORITE COMFORTABLE SHOES. THANK GOD, HE IS PATIENT WITH US, AND HELPS US TO DO BETTER THE NEXT TIME. LIFE IS A JOURNEY. BUT IT’S COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT HE’S ALWAYS WITH US. LET’S CHOOSE RIGHT CHOICES. LET’S FOLLOW AFTER THE WORD. LET’S WALK IN LOVE AND TRUTH.

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. 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.

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...
