Removing a Log or a Speck from Your Eyes

        What Does it mean to have a log, speck, or beam inside of your eyes?  First and foremost, we must remove the sins from our lives.  Second, we cannot judge your brother.  Only God is the righteous and just Judge.  This has a lot to do with the sins inside of our lives.  Frankly, it is better safe rather than sorry. 

This means that we all have problems that God must resolve for us.  I know that my life is not perfect.  I can only share with others what God has done for us.  What I am saying is that for all have sinned and we have fallen short.  I want to informed all of you that I am saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Spirit.  God assumes full responsibility for our obedience.  I do recall in my life when I was growing up in Dayton, Ohio.  During the 1970s, I have spent a lot of time with my grandparents. 

        Next, I want to inform you that we should not judge others.  God will judge us in the same way that we judge others.  I recall during the 1970s, I was in Elementary School at Edison in Dayton, Ohio.  My mother and grandmother used to watch me get chased by my enemies. 

My schoolmates used to chase me home.  I did not pick on them, they used to bother me because my parents used to bless me with money and goods.  Although I did not have a problem sharing all of my things with my friends.  I remember when I made a bet with one of my classmates.  I made a bet that Minnesota would beat the Dallas Cowboys.  I made a $3.00 bet.  Therefore, Minnesota lost to the Dallas Cowboys.  I do not recall the score of the game.  I saw it for myself.  Afterwards, it took me 6 years to pay my debt to my friend.  This same person used to chase me home.  Each time I went to school, I used to get chased home by my classmates.

        Before I can judge and accuse others, I must look at myself.  I also have to pray to God the Father to help me to resolve all of my personal conflicts.  I do remember when my sister used to beat me up.  My sister used to get mad at me because I used to hold her hand: while we are walking home from school or my grandmother’s house.  I know that it has not been easy for me growing up. 

 Yesterday, I talked about hearing voices.  Everyone who read my information prayed for me.  I want to thank all of those who read my essay, who prayed for me.  I have a lot of confidence in myself because Jesus Christ died for my sins.  I am very happy that I have friends and caring people; who loves me enough to want to pray for me.

        Finally, I want to say that during the time I was growing up in Dayton, Ohio, I used to get chased home by my classmates.  I am not saying that I was a punk growing up.  I had to fight people, who were older than me.  I want to say that I love people.  I love God’s Creation.  I know that my life has been filled with ups and downs from 1972 to 1990.  Currently, I am reading the Bible each day.  I am praying for everyone who I know and do not know.  I write about what the Lord has done for me in my life.  I feel much better right now.  I have been clean and sober for 33 years now.  Thank you, Jesus, for saving me.  Thank you, Jesus, for dying on the Cross for my sins.  I am free from the bondage of Satan.  Whoever is praying for me, I want to say thank you very much for praying for me.  I love you very much.

Good Day Everyone!!

How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform all of you that I am doing good today.  However, I have to have surgery on Monday morning at 8:30am.  I am having three teeth pulled out at the same time.  I was involved in a physical altercation with another patient at the hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio last year.  This young man hit me in the face three times, eventually breaking my teeth.

Next, the young man who hit me in the face, hit me while I was snoring in the bed.  This happened on Tuesday August 28, 2022 at 11:00PM.  The medications that I was taking made me feel very sleepy.

 Currently, I want to inform all of you that during the past few years, I have gone through some adversity because I suffer from Schizoid Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia.  I will admit that I have been suffering really bad.  I know that God is in the midst of things.  Therefore, he is protecting me from all forms of wickedness.

In Addition, I want to inform all of you that I am taking a total of 31 pills per day.  It is very unusual for me to take a lot of pills in one day.  I want to say that my weight has been up and down as of late. 

Moreover, I want to inform all of you that it has not been easy for me to do the things that I am doing on a regular basis.  I know that I have to try to lose weight on my own.  If I can go swimming at least three times per week for a two-year period, I can lose weight.  I also have to eat vegetables and fish on a daily basis.

Finally, I have to stop jumping to conclusions.  I know that I have to stop blaming other people for the things that they did not do.  I have to be very careful because I have a few enemies inside of my apartment complex.  This is not easy because there are people, who smoke marijuana inside of the building and smoke crack cocaine as well.

In Conclusion, I want to say that I am doing okay.  I will have to slow down and take a good look at my environment.  I have to learn how to finish attending all of my AA Meetings.  I also have to attend NAMI Connections as well.  I know that I have to start washing my clothes on a weekly basis rather than on a monthly basis.  It is a shame that I am suffering really bad.

  Romans 10:9-10 says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  This means that anytime that I need the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, I shall be saved.

 This is the reason why the Book of Romans is the Book of Salvation.  I believe inside of my heart that God will save me.  I believe in Jesus Christ, the man, who died for all of our sins.  I know that I hear God’s voice in other ways.  God speaks through other people.  I want you to know that I have been hearing voices other than the Holy Spirit since Thursday November 5, 2009.  I am devastated because I have to hear God’s voice through other people. 

        Next, I want to inform everyone that these voices that I hear are using vulgarity towards me every single day.  I know that there is another Bible verse that states that if a person does not hear God’s voice, you are not his to begin with.  I really believe in God.

 I have been crying every single day for the past 13 years now.  I desperately want these voices to leave me alone.  I really need some help.  I would like for everyone who reads this essay to please keep me in your prayers.  I know that I am not perfect.  I have been writing for the past 15 years now.  I am very apprehensive right now.  I really feel empty right now.  I feel empty because I do not hear God’s voice. 

Moreover, I want to inform all of you that I have been praying every single day for the voices to depart from me.  I really feel depressed and sad because every time I hear these voices, which are demonic spirits. 

These voices have been talking negative to me. The voices that I hear are a lot of women.  The voices already know that I have been baptized since February 15, 2015.  The voices always follow me online.  There are times that I wonder why am I hearing demonic spirits instead of the Holy Spirit?  I cannot allow these voices to take advantage of me.  I believe in God and Jesus Christ.  I just cannot shake this demonic spirit.  I love all of you very much.  I am scared because God might reject me from heaven.  Please pray for me because I do not want to go to hell.  God Bless All of You!!  Please take care of yourselves.

Are we being judged by our works?

       What is the definition of the word works?  Works are activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.  Works also are a task or tasks to be undertaken; something a person or thing has to do.  For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

       What Does the Bible say about works? Therefore, when we work, we resemble Him. In addition, work is not God’s way of punishing us. In fact, He blesses us with the ability to work so that we can honor Him. Colossians 3:22 says, “You who are servants who are owned by someone, obey your owners.

Are we being judged by our works by God?

       Next, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”  If I am doing something that pleases God, then I am doing works.  Works are physical and mental efforts that applies to our daily lives. 

According to evangelical Baptist theology, good works are the consequence of salvation and not its justification. They are the sign of a sincere and grateful faith. They include actions for the Great Commission, that is, evangelism, service in the Church and charity.

       Further, I want to inform all of you that God is watching us every single day of our lives.  Do you know that every idle word that we say would either justify or condemn us?

 This is according to Matthew 12:36. This is the reason why I try my very best to perform tasks that are pleasing to God.  I know that I am not perfect, but I try my very best to do good things that would benefit mankind.  For instance, I planted a garden for the Merry Oaks Community in Charlotte, NC.  I planted watermelon and cantaloupe inside of my front yard.

God is watching all of us on a daily basis.  Job 34:21 says: His eyes are on the ways of men; He sees their every step.  This is very serious because we cannot get away with our sins.  This is the reason why I am blessed every single day of the week.  I know that I have done a whole lot for other people in my life.  God is recording and monitoring our progress.

 God is doing more for all of us more than we are doing for ourselves.  This is the reason why I feel guilty because I know that God is watching me.  God always want all of us to perform good deeds, while we are living inside of the planet.  Are we being under surveillance by God?  The answer is yes!!  God watches us all of the time. 

A GOOD DEED A WEEK:

• Let your first check of the year be to charity.
• Help a friend in need.
• Volunteer for an hour at an organization of your choice.
• Save electricity by unplugging your devices when not in use.
• Buy a gift for your mother or grandmother – just because.
• Allow a fellow driver to merge into your lane.

       Finally, I want to say that each and every single day of the week, God wants all of us to perform for Him.  I want to say that I did not know that even if we help other people, we are doing good deeds for God.  This is the reason why I feel good about myself because I help other people with tasks that are very simple.  I love everything that God has created.  God wants all of us to perform the Great Commission on a daily basis.

This is an essay on building your life on values.  First of all, what are values?  Values are a system of beliefs that we tend to keep with us from birth to death.  For example, accepting responsibility; this means that we take ownership of our behavior.  Another example is that we are accountable to God for how I lived my life.  Who are you living your life for right now?  We are living for God and ourselves.  Romans 8:10 says since Christ lives within you even though your body will die because of sin, your spirit is alive because you have been made right with God.

Further, we are interdependent on each other.  I live my life the way I want to, this is not true.  God is watching you.  Every decision you make affects someone else.  An example of this is the family.  If there is a drug problem in the family, it affects each and every person in the family.  We are all interdependent of each other.  I need to be responsible because God rewards it.  Proverbs 13:20 says He who walks with the wise grows wise.  The responsible book in the Bible is Proverbs.  It teaches you how to manage your life.  God will teach us how to be a better person; if you only let Him.  When you listen, you change inwardly and outwardly. 

Finally, when it comes to dealing with my behavior, I have to really think before I act.  I have to really work on my overall character.  It is not easy for me because whenever a person is hearing things that does not make any sense; it means that Satan has infiltrated your life.  I know for me personally, I have been hearing voices since November 8, 2009.  I know that I have problems with my concentration.  I have taken medication for it in the past.  It only makes things worse.

  As far as values are concerned, I value family, education, and freedom.  I value the institution of family because family is very important.  I have to modify my way of thinking by reading the Bible and praying each day.  I also have to learn how to take things one day at a time.  I know that I have not been cleaning my apartment the way I should.  This is simply because I have to have back surgery very soon.  This is because I have 2 herniated disks inside of my lower back.  Please keep me in your prayers.  Thank you for reading my brief blog.

Sincerely,

Anthony Hopkins

Deuteronomy 16:17: And What it Means to All People!!

By Anthony Joseph Hopkins June 11, 2021

        Deuteronomy 16:17 states that every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.  This particular Bible verse is in the Mosaic Laws.  However, I want to inform everyone that God is being very flexible when it comes to paying tithes and offerings.  I did not know that tithes are supposed to be added to the household budget.  For example, if a person is earning $900.00 per month, this means that we will have to pay $90.00 per month in tithes and offerings.

        Next, I want to say that this particular Bible verse is no longer emphasized.  This is simply because we are under the New Covenant.  Although this Bible verse is very nice and generous.  I know that everyone has to pay according as he wishes.  Basically, we are making God angry with us when we do not pay tithes and offerings.  My overall bills come up to $1,115 dollars per month.  If I include my tithes and offerings, I will have to pay a total of $140.00 per month. 

Further, I want to inform all of you that some people in Moses time did not have income.  They utilized livestock, silver, and gold.  To be honest, the wages that people earned was not worth anything.  I am not criticizing the way that God did His business.  It is that people worked an entire day for wages.  This is the reason why I wrote an essay concerning people who earned fix incomes do they still have to pay tithes and offerings?  The answer to this question is yes. 

Moreover, I really feel that some of the Old Testament Bible Verses should be emphasized in today’s times.  Right now, it is not very easy for anyone who earns a Disability Check to pay tithes and offerings.  Some do and some do not pay anything to the Church that they attend each week.  I know that my life at this moment has been complicated.  My life has been complicated because I owe student loans and other debts. 

Finally, I want to say that at least God is very flexible with everyone.  I do not want to make God angry with me ever again.  To be honest, I will have to include my 10% of my income to pay tithes and offerings.  I really think God is really giving everyone a break because I have some valuables that I can sell each month for money.  I have a Book called My Grace is Sufficient for me.

  My book is not selling because I could not afford the marketing fees to market my book.  My book is small, and I feel that I can at least accomplish a goal for God.  To be completely honest with all of you, I owe $22,500 dollars in student loans from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  I was enrolled in school only for a short period of time.  I graduated from the University of Toledo on June 12, 1993 and June 17, 1995 respectively.  I earned my degree from The University College. 

In Conclusion, I want to inform all of you that I am doing the best I can just to pay bills and survive.  May the God of Peace be with all of you.  I really feel that I have selected an essay that comes right out of the Bible.  It might be from the Old Testament, but I feel that I have knowledge and experience when it comes to the Bible.

.Good Day Everyone and Praise the Lord 🙌. How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I  have a question to ask everyone.  How do you share with people the knowledge of God?  The very first thing that anyone should do is share my personal relationship with God.  

First, I want to inform all of you that Jesus Christ has been my personal Saviour for a total of 8 years now.  I have been a sinner for a total of 45 years.  My life has changed for the better because of my relationship with God.  To answer the question, I usually ask everyone who I am talking to is whether or not do they have a relationship with God.  You have to start off by asking everyone who I am talking to if it is okay to read the Bible to them.  If they approve, I will read in the New Testament preferably from the Book of John regarding salvation and how to obtain it.

Second, I will ask him or her whether or not they are saved!  If they want to repent of their own sins and have Jesus Christ as their Saviour.  In order to establish a relationship with God, I usually read the Sinner’s Prayer 
to them.  What I also do is ask for their name. Afterwards, I will ask him or her if they would like for me to pray for them.  I will ask if they would like to be baptized in the I name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.  I also will ask if they would like to attend Church by themselves?  I will ask if they have ever been a member of a Church? 

I will also ask him or her do they have a Bible?  I will give them a Bible of their own.  I usually make a suggestion to read the Book of John and Romans.  I will ask him or her if they would like to have a Bible Study?  I would ask if they would like for me to call him or her on the phone just to check on them. 

Finally, I will suggest that whether or not do they have a prayer life with Jesus Christ.  I’m not afraid to share the Gospel of the Peace with anyone.  My purpose is to go everywhere and save everyone and make everyone aware of Jesus Christ and to baptized everyone in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.  God Bless You.

This is The Saddest Year for Me!!

I would like to say that this is the saddest month of the year for me.  The reason why is simply because my bank account is messed up.  I have to start all over again.  This is simply because my life insurance policies have not been paid in over three months.

Next, I want to mention that I will have to pay all of my accounts without a bank account.  I know that ever since my rent went up this year, it messed me up completely.  I only wish that I would have all of my insurance policies paid in full.  I know that ever since I started receiving disability early in life.

Moreover, I know that my life has been turned upside down.  I have lost confidence in myself at this particular time.  It is not that I have lost all confidence in myself.  I have two nephews that are doing time behind bars right now.  I know that I did not have anything to do with them being in prison.

In Addition, I want to inform all of you that I need all of your prayers.  I am not used to being broke and disgusted.  Frankly, I have been messed up since my great grandmother died 29 years ago.  I have to maintain my faith in God.  It is time for me to go back to work!!  I have been working for a period of time in my life.

Further, I want to inform all of you that I need a job.  I need a full-time job, so that I can pay my student loans.  I owe a total of $29,230 dollars in interest on my student loans.  To start things out, I owe private student loans from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  I have Jamison Loans.  These are private loans that must be paid back.

Finally, I want to inform all of you that ever since my rent went up this year; I have been having financial problems.  I started off by obtaining a total of 8 insurance policies.  I know that it is quite excessive.  I have to pay my life insurance policies before they go lapsed. 

As far as my family members are concerned, everyone is having it hard right now.  I guess I need to work full time for the next 8 to 15 years; just to pay off my debts.  If I can work full time and earn a total of $3,000 dollars per month, I can pay all of my student loans.  I need to pay these bills.  Please keep me and my family members in your prayers.  I wish that I can play the Ohio Lottery for at least a few months.  If I win, I will pay all of my loans and other debts.  Please keep your fingers crossed for me.  I have to pay for all of my debts before I pass away.  I love all of you.  Please take good care of yourselves.  Thank you for reading my essay.

Faithfully Submitted,

Anthony Hopkins
