Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today? Fine, I hope. I want to ask everyone a very important question. Does the Lord knows the thoughts of man? The answer is yes!! God knows all things in advance. Psalms 94:11 says The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. This is inside of the King James Version of the Bible. Frankly, I want to say that God knows the things that we are going to do long before it takes place. What I would like to do is have the Word of God to impact my mind, and my thinking.
Next, I want to say that I need the Lord to allow me to feed on the Word of God. In the middle of trouble, I need to feed on the Word of God at all times. I really feel at this time that I am inside of the Lord’s Hands. How you think determines how you feel. This means that you have to deal with how you think rather than how they feel. This is very hard for some people because in my case, I am a person who reacts to things more than I am thinking.
Further, I am trying my very best not to conform to these external supervisions. This reminds me of Romans 12:2 it says; do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Proverbs 23:7 For as He thinketh in his heart, so is he. I want to say that I suffer from a mental illness called Schizoid Affective Disorder. This means that I hear voices or things that other people do not hear.
Moreover, I want to say that I would like for the Lord to continue to bless me eternally. The things that I need on earth, the Lord will provide. I know that my mind craves for the things that I wish that I need. For Example, I am the type of person, who has changed for the better. For Instance, I want to say that I used to be very reclusive.
I tend to withdraw at certain times. I find myself withdrawing from certain realities of life. I will admit that I am very intelligent and kind. I also will admit that I have a passive mind. Even though I am not apathetic. I have been through a whole lot in my life. I used to make excuses for my emotions. Currently, I am doing a whole lot better emotionally and mentally. I have a sound mind right now. I feel excited about life more than I have ever before.
I remember when my parents used to tell me that I talk out loud. I guess the reason why I talk loud is because I would like for everyone to hear what I have to say. I want to saturate myself with God’s Word. My way of thinking has changed because I have the Holy Spirit inside of me right now. I am literally excited because I am attending Church on a regular basis. I am reading my Bible every single day of the week. You are accountable for how I feel. I am accountable for my emotions.
Finally, I want to say that self-control is a gift from God that has a purpose for our lives. My life during the past 30 years have been filled with ups and downs. I want to be inside of a place that I can govern my emotions. I want to say that I do not argue with anyone anymore. Godly emotions go towards God. I noticed that I do not dwell on negative emotions anymore. I used to carry thoughts that used to wear me down completely. What I am doing at the moment is that I am managing my problems.
In Conclusion, I want to say that my life has changed for the better. I have to expose myself to the Word of God. I have become saturated my thinking with the Word of God on a daily basis. I read the Bible out loud because I want God to talk to me. I know that I have been saved for the past 4 years now. What are you spending most of your time thinking about? For me personally, I would like to become a father someday.
I would like to attend Seminary School. I would like for the Lord to pay for my book publishing fees and my student loans. I do not want life mastering me!! I want to master life!! Please continue to keep me in your prayers because I have a lot of special needs at the moment. I really need to govern my life instead of allowing my emotions to govern my life. Please keep do things in a positive manner.
Second Timothy 3:1-7 vs 21st Century Behavior by Anthony Joseph Hopkins November 16, 2021
Let’s examine this information for the moment. 2nd Timothy 3:1-7 says: But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying its power, and from such people turn away!! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins led away by various lusts. Always learning and never come to the knowledge of the truth.
These seven verses that are located in 2nd Timothy 3rd Chapter 1-7 verses tells the truth about human behavior at its worse. Whereas, 21st Century behavior is similar to the seven verses inside of 2nd Timothy but the language itself has changed.
An example of the language that is used in the 21st Century consists of acronyms. Children are deceiving their parents on a daily basis. For example, children are spending too much time with their friends. The friends are drinking alcohol, and smoking marijuana. Children in the 21st Century are using electronic cigarettes. Children in the 21st Century are spending too much time away from the home.
21st Century behavior consists of parents being their children’s best friend. Therefore, parental roles have changed. 21st Century parents are too lenient with their children. 21st Century parents cannot and will not punish their children in the same way they were raised as children. Law Enforcement are involved in the 21st Century household.
21st Century Parents tend to be younger than usual. In Addition To the causing chaos inside of the 21st Century is made up of a mother and her children. The fathers that are involved in the 21st Century children household are classified as sperm donors. 21st Century households are at poverty level.
21st Century households have different fathers. The reason why is because they did not have their fathers in their lives. Inside of a 21st Century household, the fathers are not around to take care of their children. The mother of 21st Century Children do not get along with their male counterparts. The women who are raising children in the 21st Century receive less money from child support. In some cases, the men are spending time behind bars. Inside of a 21st Century household, vulgarities are exchanged between the father, mother, and children.
Some of the 21st Century parents allow their children to be home alone. The oldest child will have to babysit their younger siblings on a daily basis. There is a big difference between the end times and 21st Century Households.
Some of what is written inside of the Bible speaks about the 21st Century Household. What is a 21st Century Household is not a nuclear family. It consists of a mother raising her children all by herself without help from anyone else.
Jeremiah 16:17-18, and What It Means for All People.
By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins
Jeremiah 16:17 Says: For mine eyes are upon their ways: they are not hiding from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. This means that God even knows when we are sinning. There are times when He will confront us in our face. He will make things very difficult for you if you keep disrespecting Him.
There are times when I thought that God was not watching me sin, but He was recording it. This is very serious because God can put an end to Mankind anytime He wants. This is simply because of disobedience. One of the reasons why God is angry is because of same sex marriages. A man and a woman cannot marry the same sex. It is inside of the Holy Bible.
Next, I want to inform all of you that man is not in charge of this world. I understand that God gives us a choice and a free will. It does not mean that a man can sleep with another man, as if the other man is a woman. The same applies to women. To be perfectly frank with all of you, God is mad at all of us.
There are times when God will allow you to be in a depraved mind as if in Romans 1:28-32. This is a very serious problem. There are some who will join Him in Paradise. I want to join God and Jesus Christ inside of the Paradise that they are talking about. If you want to know the truth, Romans 3:23: All have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. This includes myself!! I am a sinner who needs God’s grace and mercy.
For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes. This is very serious. I want a chance to join God in heaven. I will admit that I have been listening to music just to drown out the voices that I hear each day that are not the Holy Spirit. I have been hearing voices for 13 years now. The voices are demonic in nature. I did not do anything to deserve this form of punishment.
Further, I would like to share the definition of the word iniquity. An iniquity is immoral or grossly unfair behavior. This is something that is totally distasteful to God and human beings alike. It is a behavior that is very hard to discuss online. Whereas, a transgression is an act that goes against a law, rule, or code of conduct; an offense. God is taking everything very seriously. What is the definition of the word sin? A sin is an act that goes against a law, rule, or code of conduct; an offense.
What is the full meaning of sin?
an offense against
noun (1) ˈsin.: an offense against religious or moral law.: an action that is or is felt to be highly reprehensible.
Jeremiah 16:18 Meaning and Interpretation
Jeremiah 16:18 WEB Says: First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations. The definition of the word recompense is to make amends to (someone) for loss or harm suffered; compensate. A compensation or reward given for loss or harm suffered or effort made.
Therefore, God will have to clean everything up Himself. God is willing for man to repent of their sins. God is going to stop his wrath against Mankind. Man, Women, and Children will have to yield to God. Mankind will have to completely change their behavior. This means that the US Government will have to revise everything as far as their laws is concerned. Mankind will have to stop acting like savages.
In Conclusion, the entire planet will have to submit to God’s Will. This means that all sin must cease. God will have to make sure that man cannot back down on their agreements.
Anthony Joseph Hopkins January 12, 2021 Do you know what it means to be redeemed? Because if you fully understand what Calvary means in the life of a Believer, then you are proud to say, “I AM REDEEMED by the blood of the Lamb!”
Psalm 107:2, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy…”
When Jesus went to Calvary’s Cross, He willingly traded His flawless life for yours. Your life was riddled with guilt and shame, and yet the stench and filth of your sins was instantly traded for a robe of purest white. You gained the opportunity to have your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life by accepting Christ as your Savior and thus earning eternal redemption.
There are two redemptions. The one we earn here on earth; and the one we will earn as an eternal reward. Both are because of the shed blood of Calvary’s Cross.
As a sinner, you should have been condemned to die. But Jesus, the precious Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, died in your place. He redeemed you from all unrighteousness and set you free from death, hell and the grave (Revelation 1:18). He set you free from sickness and disease (Psalm 91:10). He set you free from the pain of the past and the fear of tomorrow (Matthew 6:26-34). And whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36)!
That is just a snapshot of what it means to be redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ! He has completely redeemed every aspect of your life. He has even promised to fight your battles for you (2 Chronicles 20:17). You are precious to Him!
So, what are you doing with this priceless gift? Are you wasting time wallowing in self-pity? Stop! You are redeemed! You have better things to do!
Psalm 72:14, “He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; and precious shall be their blood in His sight.”
God is from everlasting to everlasting. There is no shadow of turning in Him (James 1:17). What He has done in the past, He can and will do again. Redemption is forever! This single act not only changed the course of history, but the future for each and every one of us!
Isaiah 63:16, “…You, O Lord, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.”
Are you distraught? Tied to the pain of your past? Worried about all of the wrongs you have committed; thinking you can never be of any use to the Kingdom? Wrong! You are redeemed! Your sins are forgiven, never to be remembered against you any more…not because you deserve it, but because His grace is greater than your sin (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Ephesians 1:7, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”
You are purified and sanctified by the blood of Jesus. The royal blood of heaven flows through your veins.
1 Corinthians 1:30, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption…”
Hebrews 9:22, “And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.”
Praise God for what He has done! His goodness is from everlasting to everlasting (Psalm 90:2)! His mercies are renewed every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Thank you, Lord, for your blessings on us!
Luke 1:68, “Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people…”
Who is redeemed? YOU are redeemed! Jesus has redeemed all of us, regardless of our past, regardless of our faults. He came that we ALL might have life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).
Revelation 5:9, “…You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation…”
And the Church will be redeemed once again. When Jesus Christ comes to call us home, it will be the greatest day in the life of every Believer. In the twinkling of an eye we will be called up as the trumpet sounds. Our Redeemer will be calling us home to spend an eternity worshipping Him!
Luke 21:27-28, “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
What is the greatest thing you can celebrate today as the walls of life come crashing down around you? When you are celebrating the greatest mountain-top victories or trudging through the deepest valleys, you have reason to celebrate every moment that you have breath in your lungs. Why? Because He lives and you can face tomorrow with great hope that the very best is yet to come!
Job 19:25, “For I know that my Redeemer lives…”
I know that my redeemer lives!! I want to inform all of you that I love all of you very much. I know that this is a very short essay. I realize that my life at this time was pleasant and gracious. I want to say to everyone that I am recovering from the Covid 19 virus right now. It has been a very bumpy ride. The Lord has been with me throughout my journey. I am redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. My Doctor stated to me that I can catch this all over again. By the Blood of the Lamb, I am redeemed!!
By the blood of Christ we are redeemed, forgiven, and we enjoy God in the Holy of Holies!

Hallelujah for the precious blood of the Lamb! This morning I was filled with appreciation for the blood of Jesus Christ – an eternal blood (since He offered Himself to God through the eternal Spirit), an efficacious blood, a prevailing blood, and a speaking blood! His blood speaks more than the blood of Abel (which spoke revenge from the ground) – His blood speaks “forgiveness” and “cleansing”!
When the Lord Jesus died on the cross, He fulfilled the types of all the offerings – He offered Himself to God as an all-inclusive sacrifice on the cross to take deal with all the negative things in the world! On the cross He shed His blood – which is for our redemption, for our forgiveness, and so much more!
Here are some aspects I enjoyed regarding the blood the Lord Jesus shed for us on the cross:
The Blood of Christ is the blood for our redemption. We were lost and sold ourselves under the usurpation of Satan and even under the law, but through His death on the cross and based on His blood, Christ redeemed us back to God! For the redemption to be proper, Christ had to be the perfect sacrifice – through His life and death on earth He fulfilled all the righteous, holy, and glorious requirements of God, and He then paid the ransom for us. He who had no sin nor ever tasted sin was made sin for us – to redeem us out of the curse of the law and out of the usurpation of Satan! Through His blood we have been redeemed!
Christ’s blood is for our forgiveness. As the Lamb of God, Christ died for us and shed His blood. With the shedding of blood, now there is forgiveness of sins! Someone died on our behalf and shed His blood so that we may be forgiven! This is the perfect blood of the perfect God-man, washing away all our sins and trespasses! We have the blood of Christ applied to us not only initially when we receive the Lord – but even daily whenever we come to the Lord and He shines on us, we cooperate with Him and confess our sins – the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ washes away any sin and cleanses us from sins (1 John 1:9)!
The blood of Christ is the blood of the covenant, even the blood that enacted the new covenant! A covenant is an agreement between two parties, and to enact this covenant there is the need for the shedding of blood. God enacted the old covenant and blessed the people of Israel for keeping it – because of the blood that was shed by their sacrifices on the altar. In the New Testament, God wants to give us a new covenant – He wants to Give Himself to us (all He is, all He has accomplished, all He has obtained and attained – everything) as a covenant! He wants to give us a new heart and a new Spirit to seek Him and to love Him! When the Lord Jesus died on the cross, His blood enacted the new covenant – now we can enjoy God as our portion and as our everything! Through the blood of the covenant, we are now entitled to come to Christ, our portion, and claim Him as our life, our supply, our everything! The blood of the covenant brings us into all the divine blessings!
The blood of Jesus Christ brings us into the Holy of Holies – it brings us into God! In Heb. 10:19 it says, Having therefore, brothers, boldness for entering the Holy of Holies in the blood of Jesus. The Holy of Holies is the place where only the High Priest could enter in the Old Testament, and he went in there not to “do something” for God, but just to be with God and be infused with God. Today God wants us to come all the way into the Holy of Holies based on the blood of Jesus Christ – to spend time with Him in our mingled spirit and be infused with God! The blood of Jesus Christ made all this possible – we can now enjoy God, we can behold His beauty, and we can receive His infusion! Here in the Holy of Holies the blood is sprinkled – God looks at the blood and He is satisfied, and He can be with us and He can infuse us! Enjoying God in this way produces us as God-men, men of God, men with the divine life and nature fully expressing God and shining Him out!
Daily we can turn to the Lord and have fellowship with Him – and as we come into the light, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from every sin! Even more, we can “wash our robes and come to eat of the tree of life” – we can come to the Lord to enjoy all His riches! He is so rich, so full, so all-inclusive!
Christ is our portion – He has been covenanted to us, and based on the blood of Christ, we can enjoy Him! We can come forward with boldness to the throne of grace in the Holy of Holies in the blood of Jesus! Hallelujah, we can spend time with God to be infused with Him and behold His beauty!
Anthony Joseph Hopkins January 12, 2021 Do you know what it means to be redeemed? Because if you fully understand what Calvary means in the life of a Believer, then you are proud to say, “I AM REDEEMED by the blood of the Lamb!”
Psalm 107:2, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy…”
When Jesus went to Calvary’s Cross, He willingly traded His flawless life for yours. Your life was riddled with guilt and shame, and yet the stench and filth of your sins was instantly traded for a robe of purest white. You gained the opportunity to have your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life by accepting Christ as your Savior and thus earning eternal redemption.
There are two redemptions. The one we earn here on earth; and the one we will earn as an eternal reward. Both are because of the shed blood of Calvary’s Cross.
As a sinner, you should have been condemned to die. But Jesus, the precious Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, died in your place. He redeemed you from all unrighteousness and set you free from death, hell and the grave (Revelation 1:18). He set you free from sickness and disease (Psalm 91:10).

Praise God for what He has done! His goodness is from everlasting to everlasting (Psalm 90:2)! His mercies are renewed every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Thank you, Lord, for your blessings on us!

For His anger is but for a moment, , His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.
Psalm 30:5 Commentary,
This is the truth because God is angry only for a moment. This means that God is giving man another chance to get it together. I do believe God when He says the former things He really mean it. God is watching over us now and forever. God wants us to do His work every single day of the week. For instance, I am supposed to tell another person that you love them and mean it from your heart. He also wants us to make Disciples out of as many people as we can.
God really loves you. It is up to you to believe it. I know that God loves me. God knows all things. You see for me, God has me on probation. I suffer from Schizoid Affective Disorder. I will admit to hearing voices that an average person doesn’t hear. God has forgiven all of my sins.
I will admit that God is watching me very carefully. I know that I have a mental illness, but He really loves me. I know that Jesus died for my sins as well as the sins of other people. It is true that God favor lasts for a lifetime. God has work for me to do Inside of my hometown of Dayton Ohio. You see God wants us to stay busy for Him. God is doing for us more than we are doing for ourselves. We might cry for a little while but joy comes in the morning. I love God and He is about love for everyone. The only thing that we need to do is believe in Him. I believe that Jesus is the son of God and his death and resurrection means something to me. I do not have to dwell on the past anymore. If God doesn’t do it. I do not have any business dwelling on my past. My job is to live for Him. My job is to serve Him and love Him in the same way that He loves us.
Good Day Everyone!! I want to inform you that I really like this Bible verse because It helps me to understand myself. I want to say that I have to focus on myself, and my behavior. I know that I have to learn how to become disciplined. I want to express myself by saying that God knows exactly how I am supposed to conduct myself as a man.
Next, I have been dealing with people, who are not saved. God knows about my overall behavior. I want to mention that my behavior has changed a whole lot during the past 25 years. For example, I have been listening to the wrong type of voices. I know that I am not perfect. I understand that God knows who we are as people. He even knows exactly how long we are going to live. He even knows how we are going to act, and conduct myself.
However, I will admit that God has been disappointed with me for quite some time. I want to really stop acting like a child at times. Whenever, I use language that is not suitable. This is the reason why I am a very quiet person. I have been clean and sober for 32.5 years now. I cannot be around people who drink alcohol and smoke marijuana as well as cigarettes.
This Bible verse makes me think about my behavior. I am going to focus on myself. I know that I have been dealing with the wrong people. I have been helping people who would rather stay inside of the mud. I should be working rather than having stress in my life. God really knows me more than anyone else. I know that all behavior is learned. Finally, I have been staying in isolation. When I have to resolve things from my past. I will admit that I have watched time passing away. This is a very serious problem for me. I guess, I would rather be all by myself. God will have to help each and every one of us individually. God Bless You All!! God is searching our hearts individually and collectively. God knows all about us. There are times that we are holding ourselves hostage. It is time for all of us to join Jesus Christ.
I would like to start this essay by asking a very important question. Do you think that the Word of God taste as sweet as honey? The answer is yes!! According to Jeremiah 15:16 it says that when your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty. When I think of this Bible verse, The Word of God is very refreshing. I also gives me freedom and truth. I really enjoy God’s word every day of my life.
Further, I want to tell everyone that God is Love. God has changed me for the better. I really do not like to use any vulgarity or engage in any behaviors of my past. The Holy Spirit is inside of me. I have been born again on 2/15/2015 at Fort McKinley Church in Dayton, Ohio. I got baptized in the name of the Father of the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I am changed by the power of the Holy Ghost. My mind itself has changed. I am educated about the Word of God. Psalms 1910 saysthey are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb. The word of God has changed me because I am taking ownership and responsibility for all of my actions.
Moreover, I know that I have to read the Bible and remember a lot of verses. The Lord has touched me because I feel a whole lot better by listening to worship music instead of rap music. I do not listen to the music from the past and watch movies from my past because it is of the world. The world itself has changed so much from the time that I was a child that I would prefer to attend church on a regular basis, read the Bible each day, and pray honestly to God. My prayer life has changed because I always tell the truth to God. Matthew 6:8 says the Lord knows the things that you need of long before you ask Him. This is the reason why I recite the Lord’s Prayer and the Serenity Prayer each day.
Also, I always pay attention to my environment because it is changing as well. According to the State of Ohio Department of Commerce, over 9,000 people moved out of Dayton, Ohio last year. I did not know this until I saw it on the local news. Frankly, the Lord is keeping me here in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio for a reason. Even though my family members are upset with me because I attend AA/NA Meetings on a regular basis.
I have been clean and sober for 33 years as of this year. In order for me to have a conversation with God, I must open up the Bible and ask God to speak to me through His word. God’s love for us will never cease. The Lord will be with us every day of our lives. God has not stopped loving you. God will never give up on you, we should not give up on Him. The Word of the Lord is true. The love of God works as long as we give Him a chance in our life. Love never fails. The Bible is a conversation material for us. The Lord God will engage us with His word.
Finally, I want to say that ever since I have dedicated my life to Christ, I feel a whole lot better. If you want to change, that will put a smile on God’s face. God is smiling on all of us who want to change. Forgiveness is a part of spiritual healing. I have been learning how to appreciate all of the small things that God has done for me. I thank Him when I wake up. I thank Him when I read His word and listen to His music. I also ask God to follow me everywhere I go. I even thank Him for allowing me to write, read, and to use the computer. I ask God to reveal all of the strongholds in my personal life. I am happy to disclose this information to others. I ask God to do all of the work in my life. Thank you for reading my blog.
My name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I am a Blogger. I have been born again since February 15, 2015. I have been writing for the past 8 years.
1st Corinthians 6:18-20 says: Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. When I examine this topic, it has a whole lot to do with the way that we handle our own body. Sexual immorality is anything that defiled the body. However, sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Some sins are clearly evident. Such as fornication, masterbation, and people who have an intense sexual desire for the opposite sex. In Addition to what has been mentioned so far this is a sin that goes against one’s own body. For a total of 18 consecutive years, I was dealing with female prostitutes and masterbation myself. I have spent over a total of $100,000 dollars in 18 years of walking the streets of Dayton, Ohio Toledo, Ohio Detroit Michigan, and Charlotte, NC. Frankly, I started buying sex at the age of 21 year’s old. I remember when my birthday was on a Tuesday in 1986. I was working at the YMCA in Downtown Dayton, Ohio. I literally worked 2 jobs and I still was buying sex from females. I started masterbation at the age of 14 because I was scared of women. I remember when my parents used to take me to the bootleg joints in town. I started drinking beer and coffee at the age of 7 years old. My stepfather used to buy sex for me. This was during the time when my mother was separated from her husband. I guess my stepfather had plans for me. From age 21 to 45 years old, I was in the streets buying sex from female prostitutes. I have not had sex in 12 years now. I do recall dealing with multiple women at one time. I asked God to help me with all of my personal problems. God has helped me when it came to alcohol and smoking marijuana and Crack Cocaine. I have been clean and sober for 32 years now. My clean date is Wednesday May 2, 1990. I stopped drinking beer and smoking marijuana Crack altogether. I went to treatment at the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center in Downtown Dayton, Ohio. I started treatment on June 1, 1990-Friday September 1st 1990. I was working at the King Cole Restaurant on Main Street and Second Street in Downtown Dayton Ohio . I also worked part time at Arby’s Restaurant on Ludlow Street and Second Street in Dayton Ohio. I worked at Arby’s Restaurant for only three months. I worked at the King Cole Restaurant for Two years and three months. I went to Toledo, Ohio on Friday evening and 7:30pm catching the Greyhound Bus going to Toledo, Ohio. I lived in Toledo, Ohio for almost 6 years. I graduated from College two times at the University of Toledo. I had a lot of work to do at the Library. The University really challenge me and they changed me within five years. All of my instructors were praying for me throughout my College Career. I graduated from the University of Toledo with earning 235 College Education Credits. I then relocated to Charlotte NC for 12 years. My very first place that I lived at the Men’s Uptown Shelter for 8 months. I had to walk everywhere I went to for 5 months. Afterwards, I have moved inside of my first apartment in Charlotte NC. It was called Charlottetown Terrace Apartments. I got a job working at the US Census Bureau. I worked that job for 8 months until the Census was completed. After that I got a job working at UPS located on North Graham Street in Charlotte NC. I worked there until I got a job working at UNC-CHARLOTTE. I worked at the J Murray Atkins Library on the Campus at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I worked Two jobs in 8 years. I worked at Circle K stores located on Plaza Road and W.T. Harris Boulevard. I had to give up the high cost of low living. As soon as I got home, I stayed in the hospital for a while because of seizures and I collapsed at Wright Plaza during the 4:10 pm line up. It was on a Sunday when I had a seizure. I stayed in the hospital for a few days. I had to go back to the hospital for an attempted suicide. It was because I got scammed by people that I really didn’t know. I ended up getting fired from my job for looking at pornography on the computer at work. I had crashed two computers at home and at work. Therefore, my life has completely changed for the better. I got baptized at Shiloh Baptist Church on February 21, 2010. I also got baptized at Fort McKinley United Methodist Church on Sunday February 15, 2015. It was very cold that day. I continue to live in my apartment at Wentworth HiRise Apartments in the Northwest side of Dayton, Ohio. I have not had sex since Saturday July 3, 2010. I do not have any desire to have sex because I suffer from low testosterone. And low libido.
The Old Man vs The New Man by Anthony Joseph Hopkins
November 14, 2020
This is a comparison and contrast paper concerning the Old Man vs The New Man. First, I would like to place emphasis on the Old Man. The Old Man is a person who ignores God. The Old Man is a person who pays attention to his deceitful lusts.
Next, according to Ephesians 4:22 Says: That you put off concerning your former conduct, the Old Man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts: The Old Man is a person who constantly gets into trouble with the law. This Bible verse is saying that we put off the former conduct the Old Man, which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.
Further, the Old Man is a very immoral person. The Old Man is a person who does not attend church on a regular basis. The Old Man is a person who makes bad decisions and choices. The Old Man is a person who places emphasis on worldly things. The Old Man is a person who has a lot of possessions.
Moreover, The Old Man has a whole lot of women. The Old Man is a person who does not pay tithes and offerings to the church. The Old Man is a person who does not know how to take care of his responsibilities. The Old Man is a person who is disrespectful. The Old Man is a person who does not love himself or other people.
In Addition, The Old Man tends to have a lot of personal items. The Old Man rarely attends college and graduate from college. The Old Man hardly works for a living. The Old Man is disrespectful towards women and children.
Also, The Old Man rarely pleases God in any way. The Old Man is a man who is involved in all sorts of immorality. Immorality pleases the Old Man a whole lot. An Old Man tend to have a lot of younger women. The Old Man only does things to please other men and women. The Old Man, even though, is a law-abiding citizen in his own country. The Old Man makes advances when he gets ready.
Ephesians 4:23 Says: And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Whereas, when it comes to renewing the spirit of your mind, this is a change from the inside out. The Old Man will have to make a change for the better. This means that an Old Man who is inside of his former conduct must have a complete change in his lifestyle, behavior, and conduct.
Frankly, The Old Man must come to his senses and ask God to change him for the better. This change will not occur overnight. This change will come gradually overtime. When it comes to making a transition from the Old Man to the New Man, a man, woman, or child must be ready by God for this change.
However, when it comes to the New Man; a New Man is a God-fearing man. The New Man is a Man who has respect for all people. A New Man is a person who listens emphatically to other people. The New Man attends Church on a regular basis. The New Man is a Man who does not use vulgarity whatsoever. The New Man imitates Jesus Christ in his behavior every single day.
The New Man knows how to talk to his wife all of the time. The New Man is a man who thinks before he acts. The New Man is a law-abiding man. The New Man has a lot of common sense.
According to Ephesians 4:24 Says: And that you put on the New Man, which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. This Bible verse means that we need to imitate the behavior of Jesus Christ at all times. We were created according to God in true righteousness and holiness. This really means that we were created by God. We are supposed to have a new mind and a new spirit. We must strive for perfection in the same way Jesus Christ did while He was on earth. When it comes to the New Man, we are supposed to speak in a way that pleases God. The New Man is a man who is clean all of the time. A new man does not have a lot of possessions.
Finally, The Old Man and The New Man are two different people. The Old Man is concerned about himself. The New Man is a Change Agent. This means that the New Man is an ambassador for Jesus Christ. The Old Man thrives in his own deceitful lusts. When it comes to The New Man, he is a man who knows how to survive with God’s help.
In Conclusion, The Old Man and New Man are very unique individuals. The Old Man things about himself the majority of the time. In most cases, the New Man always think about everything that he says right out of his mouth. The New Man places emphasis on other people. The New Man works for God.
Is It True That We are Supposed to Think Before We Act?
Praise The Lord Everyone!! I have a very important question to ask all of you. Is it true that we are supposed to think before we act? The answer to this question is yes. I know that all of us have our personal storms that we are going through in our lives. I realize that my way of thinking has changed for the better. For Example, I ponder in advance before I do anything in life.
Next, I want to inform all of you that I have the Holy Spirit inside of me. This means that God has all of us in check!! I am a type of person who is quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. This means that I am supposed to hear what the next person is saying.
I am supposed to wait for the inner voice of the Lord to communicate with me. I must be slow to speak because I am supposed to think about what the Holy Spirit is saying to me. However, I am a person who will meditate on my issues in advance before I act out in any way.
Further, I want to say that this Bible verse in Proverbs 15:1 makes me really think about some of the situations that I used to be a very angry person inside. From 1972 until 1990, I used to have a lot of inside anger. Whereas, right now, I have changed my whole outlook on life. My personal outlook on life has a lot to do with the plans that God has for me. I really watch my words a whole lot because I do not want to get into trouble anymore.
Moreover, are we supposed to think before we act all of the time? The answer is yes. I am saying yes because there are certain people who do not think about their actions before acting on them. I know for me, I am very humble in my spirit. Do ye not know that your temple is the living God and the Holy Spirit is inside of you? The Holy Spirit has been inside of me all of my life. I know that my attitude and my actions are different. An attitude is a state of mind or a particular feeling.
In Addition, I want to say that my life belongs to Jesus Christ right now. I am saying this because it is Jesus Christ who is doing for me; more than I am doing for myself. I say that we are supposed to think before we act all of the time. At least for me, it will keep me out of trouble. I love the Lord because he has never stopped loving me. I will admit that I love everyone because all of us are Children of God. My parents used to tell me to always follow the Lord.
Also, I want to say that we are always supposed to think before we act because it is God’s Way of slowing all of us down during our personal conflicts. I know for me personally, I thank Him every single day when I get up in the morning, afternoon, and at night. 1st Thessalonians 5:17 says Pray without ceasing!! I pray every single day for deliverance. I pray for peace, and healing for all people. I want to inform all of you that God has been blessing me for many years now. This is because I ask God to reside with me every single day.
Finally, I want to say that I have to think about the things in the same way that Jesus Christ has done. I have to imitate the behavior of Our Savior Jesus Christ. I know that celebrating the New Year is a pagan holiday. I also know that during the time that before my ancestors were officially free inside of the United States during slavery, the slaves attended church for watch services. The miracle has happened when President Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves during the Emancipation of Proclaimation Speech on January 1, 1863. The slaves in certain Southern States were freed.
In Conclusion, I want to say that my way of thinking has completely changed for the better. I am very happy that I have Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior right now. My spirit is overjoyed. I really have to apologize to my family members for the things that I have done wrong to them. Do you have to think before you act? Yes, my way of thinking has changed for the better. The Lord is on my side right now. When God is for you, who can be against you? What is the definition of the word think mean? The definition of the word think is have a particular opinion, belief, or idea about someone or something. “she thought that nothing would be the same again” direct one’s mind toward someone or something; use one’s mind actively to form connected ideas.
