Reconciliation and Forgiveness with God, Ourselves and with Others!!

          This is a very special essay concerning the importance of reconciliation and forgiveness with God, ourselves, and with others.  The first thing that I want to say is that God has never left us or forsaken us.  Perhaps, we might have forsaken ourselves at times in our personal lives.  I say this because I used to be a person who did not believe anything, unless I see it with my own eyes.  Secondly, God is not mad at you.  He is mad about you.  God wants us in His family.  He really wants us in heaven with Him. 

          Further, God forgives us because He loved us.  Forgiveness does not equal reconciliation.  Reconciliation takes two people.  For instance, our relationship with God is very important to us.  God’s love is supernatural.  Forgiveness opens the door to reconciliation.  God’s love will always persevere.  Our conversations with others with God requires change on our part.  He have to be totally honest and sincere with Him.  Reconciliation requires that we be on the same page with God, ourselves, and with others.

          Moreover, I want to inform all of you that I have rededicated my life to Jesus Christ as of June 3, 2018 at 7:30AM.  I want to inform all of you that I have been baptized several times in numerous of Churches.  It is that I was still harboring a lot of anger with myself and others.  God had always understood me from the time that I was inside of my mother’s womb. 

According to Jeremiah 1:5; God knew us while we were inside of our mother’s womb.  Even before we were formed, He knew us, before we were born, He sanctified us and ordained us as a prophet to the nations.

          In Addition, God even knows exactly how long we are going to live.  When it comes to Psalms 139:16, it states that our days are fashioned for us even before we are born.  However, love keeps no record of wrongs.  Therefore, we should meditate on God’s love.  There are times that we tend to hold onto our past and there are times that we do the same thing to others.  God sent His Son to die for our sins.  In order to have a conversation with God, we need to keep prayer simple.  We also need to read the Bible as well.  We are ambassadors for Christ.  Do not hold grudges against anyone.  We need to turn from our self-centered living so that God’s love would be possible.

          Jesus died for us so that we can be free.  The cross makes reconciliation possible.  God’s love is stronger.  God is the God of all power.  God communicates His heart with us.  We represent the heart of God.  Fear in love; perfect love cast out fear.  We need to allow God to fix us.  We need God’s grace.  Freedom is here.  God love for us is very pure.  To me personally, God was saying let me know when you are ready.  Reconciliation requires change.  We are afraid of asking too much.  For me personally, I have become a member of the Mormon Faith, 3 Baptist Churches, and currently the United Methodist Church.  I have dedicated my life to each church by getting baptized in water and receiving the Holy Spirit.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Please, never stop at forgiveness.  I have officially reconcile with God yesterday and I am happy.  I still have a whole lot of work to do.  I have to share the Good News of the Gospel of Peace.  Jeremiah 23:23 says that am I a God near at hand says the Lord, and not a God afar off?  God is always with us.  He has been with me even during my active addiction.  I have learned a whole lot since the year 2015.  This is during the time that I was baptized by my current pastor at Fort McKinley Church in Dayton, Ohio.

  Romans 16:18 says live at peace with everyone.  Jesus body and blood was shed for us.  God’s love drives out fear.  Acknowledgement is the first step of healing.  God will never fail us.  Christ died for us so that we can move forward and reconcile with Christ.  God will always give ourselves to us.  Freedom and joy comes from God.  I know for me personally, I feel a whole lot better right now.  I must reconcile with my family members and those who refuse to talk to me.  I must first reconcile with God, myself, and others as well. 

The Bible is a conversation material for us.  God is saying engage with me.  I engage with God by reading His word, praying, and acknowledging all of my sins and ask God for repentance each day.  We all want to be heard and understood at all times.  Hurt people hurt people!!  I will admit that I used to take all of my problems out on others.  I was not a bully.  I was a person who was under attack by my enemies from the past.  I also had Satan as an enemy as well. When it comes to the devil, I will admit that I was a person who was hearing voices that were not benevolent.

 The voices that I have heard were demonic spirits attacking me.  There were times when I used to talk back to the voices.  Personal attacks destroy our character both externally and inwardly.  These messages cause a lot of blame.  People react to pain in different ways.  All we do is collect wounds, and it starts all over again.  It also has a lot to do with anxiety and worry.  God sees a future with us.  He forgives us.  God wants a heart to heart conversation with us.  The cross represents the hope for reconciliation.  God is more interested in changing our circumstances.  There are no exclusions to God’s love.  Whoever lives in love, God is with them.

 We are made free in Jesus Christ.  We are ambassadors for Christ.  God reveals His character through us.  We are God’s creation.  This is the Good News.  His blood was poured out for our forgiveness.  God has forgiven me.  I feel much better right now, and I am sharing this message today because God loves you, and so do I.  This is a love that has no walls.  God’s love goes beyond our human expectations.

May the God of all peace be with you all!!  God Bless You!!  Thank You for reading my essay.

GOAL | Traditional Publishing Set-up

• The author receives advance royalties providing financial support upfront, typically ranging from $50,000 to $150,000.
• The publisher will handle all the leg work including investing the money to publish the book (and they usually can ensure professionalism).
• The book will be published under the publisher’s brand, attracting major reviewers and award-giving bodies.
• Wider Coverage in terms of print distribution in bookstores, online retailers, and libraries.
• The publisher develops a marketing strategy, which may include book tours, book signing, live TV and Radio Interviews, and promotions.
• Free time writing new stories while the publisher handles marketing.
• Instead of paying for self-publishing, you get paid for every new manuscript you submit for traditional publishing.

 

CURRENT SETUP | Self-Publishing

• You have to spend thousands of dollars just to publish your book and market it.
• You must make sure the book is good in all aspects. If it’s unprofessional in any way (writing, cover, marketing, etc.), it will make you look bad.
• Limited Marketing Support, It’s time-consuming to learn and manage the process yourself.
• If you hire excellent professionals to help you, it’s expensive.
• Less Visibility With millions of books available on Amazon, self-published authors may struggle to stand out and attract readers in a crowded market.
• There’s either a lot of work or a lot of money, to get it right.

Job 13:23 says How many are my iniquities and sins?  Make me to know my Transgressions and my sins.  Personally, I want to inform you that my iniquities and sins are many.  I really don’t know how many Transgressions and sins are many as well.  I have done so much in my personal life.  Jesus Christ is going to come back to Earth.  I have done so much to help others and I have hurt others.

I admire God so much that I am very sorry for hurting myself and others in my life.  Please don’t allow anything to interfere with your relationship with God.  Guard your heart and your homes.  Please keep me in your prayers and thoughts.

Lord Jesus, I love you very much.  I am very sorry for my sins and iniquities and transgressions in my life.  I need a new heart and a new mind.  I am having memory lapses and problems.  I suffer from Type 2 Diabetes Full Blown and Schizoid Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia right now.  I need to hear from God right now.  If you do not hear from God, you are in trouble right now.

Next, I need to be true to my feelings.  Does it work to have a great relationship with God?  The answer is true.  Have a clean thought Life because God says so.

Finally, I have to get serious about God.  I have to get to know God for myself.  I am a New Creation according to God.  Be passionate about what God has to offer.  I love people and at least half of them love me.  There are the other half who do not like me at all and this includes Satan.  I have a lot of respect for my Pastor and God themselves.  I want to inform all of you that the accountability comes from God.  I love all of you and I mean it.

Matthew 21:22 And What It Means To All People?

By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins

          Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I would like to ask everyone a question.  What does Matthew 21:22 Mean?  The answer is as follows: If there is anything that we ask for in prayer, believing ye shall receive.  I truly believe this Bible verse because it enables me to ask God for whatever I want in prayer.

          Next, I am faithful to the Lord, and He has blessed me.  I want to say that God is working in my life for the past few years now.  Thank You God that you shall be exalted throughout the earth.  What I am actually doing right now is lining up my thinking with God’s thinking.  I know that I still have a long way to go in my journey with Christ Jesus.  I will admit that I have a lot to prayer needs right now. 

          Further, I want to say that all of my prayers have been answered.  For Example, I ask God to please help me with my college education.  I even had all of my Instructors at the University of Toledo to pray for me because at one point in my life, I was getting frustrated with my coursework.  Something told me to hang in there!! I kept hearing hang in there by everyone that I know in College.  I believed it!! I want to inform everyone that I was in a Spiritual battle between Satan and his angels.

 One of the reasons why I graduated twice from the University of Toledo is because of my faith in God.  I know that I admitted to using vulgarity during class.  This had taken place during my first three years of College.  I was angry and frustrated because the coursework was difficult.  I did not give up because other people were praying for me; when I was not praying myself.  The Lord has been working inside of me for the past 26 years.  I know that I had a street mentality at one point in my life.  Currently, I am doing great right now because I do not use vulgarity anymore.

Moreover, I have changed behaviorally for the past 9 years. For Instance, I do not drink alcohol anymore. I do not smoke marijuana anymore.  I do not smoke cigarettes anymore.  I prayed on Wednesday May 2, 1990 to God to please remove the desire for me to drink alcohol and smoking marijuana.  I have been clean and sober for 29 and a half years now.  I am so happy that I do not engage in any street activities anymore.  I have not dealt with female harlots anymore.  I am more responsible with my money right now that I have been able to pay for all of my manuscripts to get copyrighted.

          I am happier right now than I have ever been before.  I am a person who has a lot of faith in God and Jesus Christ.  I am sincere and respectful to other people.  I am always confident in my life right now.  I pray every single day.  I truly believe in the Power of God!!  I want to inform all of you that I am paying my tithes and offerings to my Church.  I am giving God priority in my life right now.  I have faith in the Lord each and every single day of my life.  Another Example, is when I was at Church a couple of days ago, I was eating dinner during that time.  The Holy Spirit told me to go upstairs and get something to drink because I was choking off of the food that I was eating.  I felt better because if I did not hear God’s Voice, I would have choked to death.

          Finally, I want to say that I am hearing God’s Voice right now.  I used to hear voices of fallen angels for 10 years.  I have the Holy Spirit inside of me.  I feel great right now.  I am reading the Word of God right now.  I am attending Church on a regular basis.  I do not use vulgarity anymore because I asked The Lord Jesus Christ to change me from the inside out.  I also asked the Lord Jesus Christ to come into my life and dwell inside of me forever.  I feel like a brand new person.  I have Jesus Christ, who is the Lord of my life dwelling inside of me.

Nahum 1:7 says: The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in HIM.  This means that the Lord is good.  The Lord God has been good to me all of my life.  Even though I have strayed from Him for several years of my life.  God was always available to pick me up from the ground. Meaning, I have done my own thing for 18 years of my life that was contrary to Him.  I asked Him to bring me back to life on Wednesday May 2, 1990.

I asked Him to please remove my desire to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana and other drugs.  I went to treatment for drugs and alcohol.  I stayed in treatment for 90 days.  From June 1,1990 until September 1, 1990!  I was at the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center on Patterson Boulevard in Dayton, Ohio until I left Dayton, Ohio headed to Toledo, Ohio for five years from 1990-1996. I had to overcome living in a crack house for three years in Toledo, Ohio until I finished college at the University of Toledo.  I worked in the Toledo Ohio Area as a library worker for four years.  I worked as a Youth Counselor for three years.  I left Toledo, Ohio headed back to Dayton, Ohio for one year.

From 1996 to 1997, I worked at Sinclair Community College as a bookstore worker for one year.  After my year was over, I went to Charlotte NC for 12 years.  I worked at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte NC Library for eight years.  I was homeless for one year living at the Men’s Uptown Shelter until I was able to get an apartment at the Charlottetown Terrace Apartments for two years.  I worked and lived in the streets of Charlotte NC until I had to leave the state of NC in 2010.  I relocated back to Dayton, Ohio and I have been here for a total of 13 years now.  I have lost my nephew, mother, sister and grandmother during a 13 year period.  I also lost close friends and family as well.  Currently, I have been living here at Wentworth Hi Rise Apartments located in Dayton, Ohio for 13 years now.  I have written three books in 23 years.  I have been clean and sober for 33 years now.
