Lord Jesus Please Accept Me as I Am

Lord Jesus, please accept me as I am!

Working and living the 12 steps i a a full time job by itself.  I have been clean and sober for 35 years now.  I owe it all to God and His Son Jesus Christ as well as the AA Fellowship and a supporting cast of people who I have been in close contact with throughout my AA journey.  I want to thank the people worldwide from their prayers and support.  I also want to thank all of my AA Sponsors for bearing with me as a person.  I want to thank all of my therapists throughout the years for tolerating my behavior as well.  I want to thank all of my male and female friends worldwide for putting up with me as well.  Therefore, it has been an emotional roller-coaster of bearing with someone whose behavior have changed for the better right now.  I want to inform everyone that my biggest problem is Anthony Joseph Hopkins myself.  The only thing that I can say is please pray for me as a person.  This is simply because I am in need of prayers from everyone worldwide right now.  I would like to thank all of my family right for their empathy and understanding especially when it comes to loving and supporting a grateful recovering alcoholic like me.  It is not very easy tolerating someone who is an alcoholic and addict, but if they want what the self help fellowships has to offer them; then there is hope for them ad well as those people who really want a new way of life.

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 πŸ™ ✨️ 

Does God hold us by our hand 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 can not 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 come 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 lives, 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 lives. 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 lives.  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.

How to Respect and Listen to Women?

How to Talk, Listen, and to Understand Women!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a very special blog on the importance of learning how to listen, talk, and to understand women. First, it is very important to understand that women are a creation of God Himself. Her creation is derived from the womb of man; who is named Adam. A rib of man was removed while he slept and afterwards his female counterpart was right directly in front of his face. Her name was Eve because she is an auxiliary for man. This meaning his counterpart or companion while joining him on earth. A woman is unique as a species because she is the bearer of children and she is very intelligent.

Second, in an institution of marriage, a man is supposed to leave his own parents home and join his wife and live with her inside of a house of their own. This is the institution of marriage. However, in contemporary times, women do not bear the last name of their own husbands. This is done for personal reasons. In some cases, this has a lot to do with pre-nuptial agreements that has been made prior to marriage. Also, in some cases, this has a lot to do with assets and information that couples cannot gain access to throughout the marriage.

Third, let’s get to the lesson of learning how to communicate with women. As children, a little boy is supposed to learn how to respect his own mother. This is first and foremost. This is by making sure that he is able to say yes madam and no madam to his own mother to begin with. In retrospect, he is also supposed to learn how to respect his elders. This means that he is supposed to respect those who are older than him. When it pertains to women, a boy or a man is supposed to stop whatever he is doing at the moment and go directly to women. This is a respect factor. By doing this a boy, girl, man, or another woman is supposed to pay attention to what she is saying to you.

Fourth, women deserve respect simply because they are emotional creatures just like men. It’s that men deny or in most cases refuse to acknowledge their personal feelings. Nor even recognize their sensitive side at times. There are times that disagreements might occur, but it is very important to learn to listen to both sides of any disagreement. The primary purpose of learning to talk, listen, and to understand women is to improve communication skills and to learn how to become active listeners in all situations.

Fifth, listening is very important because it is a key to communication. How come listening is a very important key to good communication skills? The answer is that when a message is relayed or an oral exchanged takes place, it’s very important to understand what is being said at all times. If someone is telling me something, I am supposed to listen with my ears the message and if necessary tell them what they have said; so that I can fully comprehend the message. I know in my case, I would write all of my notes on paper and clipboard so that I can fully understand what is being expressed to me personally.
Expression is the next because it takes a very good communicator to send a great message. When it comes to listening and communication skills, it is very important to eliminate all of the distractions that are in your way in order to understand what is being expressed. When it comes to women, men really need to turn the television off and look directly at women while they are speaking to them. Men and little boys are guilty at times of trying to tune women out. How come this happen on a daily basis, this is because men and boys tend to become obtuse and reluctant to listening at certain times at women. Men and boys usually think they are superior to their female counterparts.

Sixth, how do we really learn how to talk, listen, and understand women? The answer is by learning how to pay attention to what is right in front of you. At least mankind is supposed be allowed and be entitled to their freedom of speech. Listening is very easy for some and difficult for others. Why is this problem for others? This is because of the breakdown in communication that had taken place prior to full communication itself. This is caused by a lack of understanding of people as a member of the human race. Understanding others come from spending time with members of your own family.

This begins by understanding your own family dynamics as well as yourself as a person. Understanding of a woman is very easy. This starts off by acknowledging the person who had brought you into this world first. This is God and your own mother. When a man learns to respect his own mother, grandmother, aunt, or elders that are women, then he learns to respect women as a full member of the human race. When a man is around women, he is not supposed to use vulgarity and course language on a regular basis. When this happens, it breaks communications down and it makes things very difficult for men to relate well with women.

How come there are issues between young and old people?How come there are issues between young and older people?  The answer lies in propaganda as well as what is going on television.  Younger people are easily influenced by what is watched on what people are calling an idiot box.  The idiot box itself is classified as a television.  How come there are issues between young people and old has a lot to do with Bible prophesy.  Mark 13:8 says for nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be earthquakes in divers’ places and there shall be famine and troubles these are the beginning of sorrows.  This is something that is going on right now between countries worldwide.  This is a very serious because it has an adverse affect on the United States as well.  However, in the 12th verse of Mark 13 it indicates that now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and father the son. Children shall rise up against their parents and shall cause them to be put to death.  This is something that is going on each and every single day.  We are really living in between the end of times and the last days.Also, when it comes to music that young people are listening to right now, parents are against it because it totally disrespects women of all races, cultures, and creeds.  The music itself is demonic.  It has a lot to do with Satan and his destructive schemes.  When it comes to issues between young and older people, it is a shame that our young people are not showing any respect to those who are older than they are.  There is a sense of emotional numbness that young people are showing and demonstrating to other people.  Their peers on the other hand are not really interested in any of their emotional numbness and the behaviors that exist afterwards.  This is the reason why it states in the book of 1st Thessalonians 4:11th verse says and that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands as we commanded you.  This means that we should continue to share the good news of Jesus Christ, as well as to be quiet and mine your own business.  It also means that we should continue to work with your own hands without accepting any handouts.  Next, younger people and their attitude have changed tremendously since 1980.  The reason for this change is because parents have changed their attitudes when it comes to rearing their own children.  Parents are calling their children their friends rather than their children themselves.  This is simply because the city, state, and federal government have intervened in the relationship between families.  The government is telling parents how to raise their own children.  Parents are not allowed to punish their children as they wish.  This is the reason why children are growing up without any sense of direction, guidance, understanding, and affection from their own parents.  This is a subject that should be addressed by everyone who has children as well as those who do not have any children of their own.  Like they say, it takes a village to raise one child.  This is true! In most cases, parents are not listening to their own children and addressing their needs.  When it comes to young people and older ones, it would be easy if we all can get along while we are living inside of a community.I wrote about this topic because our young people do not have any respect for elders.  They use a great deal of profanity and they are very apathetic.  This has changed a lot since the 1980s.  Television has changed a lot of our attitudes and there are too many reality shows that pertain to the lives of others.  There is a reality television show that pertains to everything in our personal lives.  I would not want anything that I am doing in my personal life to be on television.  A lot of young people are watching reality shows rather than take out the garbage at home.  There are at least 2 billion people between the ages of 13-40 who would rather watch television all day long rather than do their homework from school or college.  The issue that I have with young people today is that; most of them do not have any respect for themselves or anyone else.  What these young people do not know is that the world that we are living in is getting ready to come to an end.  Mark 13:37 says and what I say unto you, I say unto all watch.  This means that we have to really watch and pay attention to what is going on all around us.  We must get our lives right with God.  This is very serious because if the world comes to an end, at least a person would like to have their life right with God.  The son of man is coming down from heaven and it is a very serious event. As far as those who are older are concerned, we must continue to share the good news of God to everyone whether they are young or old.  It is very important that we share about what God has done for us in our personal lives and make certain!!
