Sinner’s Prayer

The Sinner’s Prayer and What it means to me!!

This is an essay about the Sinner’s Prayer and what does it means to me personally.  First, I want to say that I am a Born Again Christian.  I am a 10 year old Christian.  I am a person who has a lot of intuition.  I also have spiritual discernment.  What does this means to me? I would like to say that I am asking God to forgive me of all of my sins.
  I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  He died for my sins at calvery.  I ask Him to enter my heart right now.  I confess and forsake all of my sins.  I do not go back to doing the same things that I have done in the past.  I ask Jesus Christ to become my Personal Savior.  I am a brand new person. 

Next, I want to say that I am a new creature right now.  The old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new.  This is 2nd Corinthians 5:17.  I want to inform all of you that I feel good about being a brand new creation in Christ Jesus.  Also, I want to say that I have given up drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana 34 years ago.  I have given up chasing after lewd women 15 years ago.
I have stopped looking at porn as well.  I got baptized on February 15, 2015.  I have managed to stay out of trouble for the past several years now.  I have to take medication for schizoid affective disorder and bipolar 1.  I have not been in trouble since November 28, 2011.  I have not used any vulgarity in a little while.  I have been arguing with my family members each day for the past 10 months now
I have asked Jesus to remove my desire to use vulgarity and look at porn as well.  I have changed for the better.  I know that I have a lot of work to do, especially when it comes to maintaining good behavior. 
Second, I pray for everyone every single day of the week.  I have asked Jesus Christ to please give me a new heart and remove my heart of stone.  I have asked my personal Savior Jesus Christ to cleanse me from all filthiness. 

Third, I want to say that I have a brand new heart.  I have asked Jesus to follow me for the rest of my life.  I read the Holy Bible every single day of the week.  I help others on a daily basis.  There are some people who actually think that I am living the life of a sinner.  I am not living trifle.  I have changed for the better.  I have been attending all of my AA Meetings on a regular basis as well.  The AA Meetings keep me on the straight and narrow.  I am also a member of an AA Group of people who are not able to make meetings due to health problems.  I share and express my strength and hope with everyone who is online at the time.
Fourth, I want to say that I have been a member of Alcoholics Anonymous for the past 35 years.  I am the type of person who tells the truth about myself.  I share my experience, strength, and hope on a daily basis with everyone who need help.  I also share the Gospel of Peace with everyone as well.  I am placing emphasis on the Sinner’s Prayer because this is where it all start.  It starts with a confession and admission of sins. 

Moreover, I want to say that I confess of all of my sins on a daily basis.  I also work the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous on a daily basis.  I have to write everything down on paper every single day of the week.  I also make amends with everyone who I have hurt during the day.  I try my best to never go to bed angry.  I want to say that I love everyone.  I want to say that my life has changed since I have confessed all of my sins to Jesus Christ.  The Sinner’s Prayer allows me to talk to Jesus Christ in private.  I also say my prayers every single day as well. 

Finally, the Sinner’s Prayer allows me to have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.  It allows me to express all of my concerns and cares to Jesus Christ.  I feel a lot better when I am able to read His word and allow Him to talk to me.  The words that I read that are inside of the Bible helps me to stay calm and relaxed.  I will admit that I hear voices that are not the Holy Spirit as well.  These voices derived from a source that is unknown to me.  I just know that I have been hearing voices that are not the Holy Spirit for almost 10 years now.  I will admit that God also gives us instructions, even while we are sleeping.

This is what the Sinner’s Prayer means to me as a person.  It gives me an opportunity to run to the Lord instead of dwelling inside of the world that is filled with sin.  I am able to talk with the Lord every time I feel like it.  The Sinner’s Prayer helps me to improve my relationship with Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 21:13 and What it Means to All People?

      Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need.  What this verse is saying what goes around comes around.  This is like a Karma statement.  Since this Bible verse is inside of the Bible, I am going to respect everything that comes inside of the Bible to become legal and binding.

 To be honest with you, God is talking to all of us.  We must respect everyone and their circumstances.  One thing about God is that What He is saying is official.  I remember when I was a child, my friends used to torment me and beat me up for 9 straight years.  God knows who did it.  I know who did it.  I know that I really did not like to fist fight with people.  It is that I tried to get along with everyone.

I know that I am a sinner as well as a human being.  I know that this Bible verse is very accurate.  I know that when I was growing up, I used to get beaten up by everyone for no reason whatsoever.  There were times when I used to disrespect others.  Now since I read this Bible verse, I have to respect all people.  I really understand the Bible for what it is.  It is a manual of the truth!!        

I am reading the Bible and I understand what is really going on right now.  It seems like when you are young, you do not think of all of this until it really smacks you right on the face.  I saw this Bible Verse Image, and it reminded me of my life.  I have been verbally, mentally, and physically abused by my mother’s husband, and other people. 

This is a Bible verse that will cause you to reflect on my life a lot.  Whenever I read the Bible right now, I am having a whole lot of respect of God, Jesus Christ, and other people.  I definitely understand what God is saying to me.  I have to get my life right before it is too late.  My life at this time is meaningful.  I do not use vulgarity anymore.  Some of my family members do not respect me as a person. 

For Instance, I have spent the holidays with my family members yesterday.  I have observed some things that each person of my family was doing.  I said to myself, I used to act the same way.  Right now, I am very quiet.  I know that I have had some moments, when I used to act out of character with my parents.  I remember when my caretakers and I used to be in a battle with each other.  Currently, I am sitting back and observing my family members, and I cannot say anything to them because I used to act the same way.  This is the reason why I think a generational curse has affected my family members.

Next, I do recall acting out as a teenager.  This is the reason why I do not say anything to anyone.  It is not I am afraid, it is that I look at myself and say “Why? Lord Why”!!  I know that I have matured a whole lot since 1980.  My family members want me to visit them, but they challenge my authority.  I know that I cannot say anything because they are not my own children. 

Moreover, when I read the Bible, I take it very serious right now.  To be perfectly honest with you, I should have had children of my own.  The only thing that I say is that I do not have any children because I have been having flashbacks of my childhood.  I say to myself that I might have children of my own, but I do not know it. 

In The 21st Century

      In the 21st Century, there are children, who are under the age of 40; who are using more vulgarity than ever before.  There are children, who are using vulgarity at the age of three years old.  An example of this is my great niece is only 3 years old, and she is using vulgarity because she hears it from her aunts and uncles.  I did not teach my nieces and nephews vulgarity.  They heard it in the music that they listen to. 

Nevertheless, I say again why Lord why?  I am at the Library right now, and I hear children using vulgarity at the staff members at the Library.  It really is getting off the topic.  I am very sorry for getting off the topic of discussion.  I really am saying that if I disrespect them in any way, I would get sent to jail.

 The 21st Century consist of changes that I am not able to express online.  In a format like this, I have to keep my mouth shut because I would end up getting into trouble for punishing a child who has a filthy mouth.  In the 21st Century, there are more children than it was during the 1980s.  God is hearing me, and helping me with this blog. 

Finally, I want to say that I only have control over what I say out of my mouth.  I really have to pray for my own family as well as myself.  I do not say anything anymore.  After I had to get into an altercation with one of my nephews last night.  I do not really like spending time with my own family because they are listening to music that has contaminated our airways with vulgarity and mixed messages about our changing society.  Do you know that children today are much more aggressive than they were during 1980?  Children today are much more aggressive and dangerous than they were in the 1980s.  Thank you for reading my essay.

In Summary, I am saying that I have learned a whole lot during the 21st Century because there is too much disrespect in the air right now.  My family members really want to physically fight me for no reason.  Lord Jesus, please give me a sense of direction that I have never had before.  The Bible verse is telling me to have respect for all people.

Does God hold us by our hands for guidance and direction?

Does God hold us by our hard for guidance and direction?

According to Psalms 37:23-24, it says that the Lord makes form the steps of the one who delights in Him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.  This means that God is with us all of the time.  God is there with us all of the time.  Even when we stumble, God is still with us.  I know for myself that God has been with me, even when I have stumbled.  I will admit that I have stumbled myself into a whole lot of mess.  For example, I was entangled in pornography for over 30 years.  I also used to be an alcoholic and dope addict for 18 years.  I know that it has not been very easy for me to get rid of these problems.  It takes one step at a time.  I am working on the 12 steps each and every single day.

According to Jeremiah 10:23, it says I know, O Lord that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.  When I read this Bible verse, I know that it is not in me to take my direct course, because I know that I cannot do it by myself.  It is God who is directing my steps or it is Satan.  Do you know that God gives us a choice?  We can choose to follow righteousness or the fruits of unrighteousness that comes from Satan himself.  When it comes to Proverbs 16:9, it says that the heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.  The Lord plans my day for me as well as all of us.  God wants us to continue to believe in Him and do what is right.

I would like to inform everyone to please repent and get your life right.  At least give God a chance to work miracles in your life. Psalms 85:13 says Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.  This means that when we live in righteousness, and do what is right in our personal life, God will do the rest of the work.  This really does mean that he is walking with us every single day of our lives.  Like they say in Proverbs 15:3 God is watching over the evil and the good.  God is watching us every single day.  He is also recording all of our activities that we do in our life. This is called the Book of Life.  The Book of life is for those who are saved and delivered from Satan.  These are the individuals who have repented and have decided to live for Christ.  The Book of life is also a recording of all of our activities that we have done throughout our life.  It records everything that we say think and do.  This is one of the reasons that God wants all of us to clean up our lives in these last days according to 2nd Timothy 3:1-4.  This is very serious.
