Forgive me, Father, for I am so far from perfect. Like the prodigal son, I have wasted so much of Your knowledge on trivial pursuits, and have often caused pain to others. Lord, I beg that You help me realize when I cause harm to others so that I can quickly apologize for my misdeeds. Help me carefully choose the words that I say so that others will be comforted rather than angered by my speech. Amen.

What Does it mean to have an uneasy feeling?

Good Evening Lord God!  I only want to apologize for all of my sins and iniquities.  Lord Jesus, it feels as if someone is talking for me.  I would like to express myself by using my own words.  I understand that there are children, who can relate well with me.  I will admit that I have been extremely sad and depressed for the past few weeks now.  I feel like my medicine is not working for me.  I know that everyone has been praying for me.  My sense of uneasiness unknown to me.  Please Lord God, watch over me as if I have been lead astray.  There are times when I am writing my essays one minute and then the next minute, I am being pushed along by a force that is very hard to describe.  Lord God, I love you.  Lord God, I need you right now.  Lord God, my family members are reluctant to talk to me right now.  This is very unusual because I have a lot to say to everyone.

The definition of the Word uneasy means to put or be placed in an unusual state of mind.  It also means to be in a serious or daughting mood.  The Bible verses that I read each day really uplift me.  The Lord has never forsaken those who seek Him.  I feel like God message is profound and straight to the point.  His message is just for me to hear.  God, please forgive me of my sins that I have committed today.  I didn’t mean to pilfer some toilet paper from the Wellness Center.  I am very sorry for today’s sins and iniquities and transgressions from my past.  I am very sorry for doing this in Your sight.  Where can I go from Your Spirit?  Where can I flee from Your presence?  Therefore I have no where to hide.  God, You are holding my hand, and You are walking with me.  Please forgive me literally forgive me.  Please help me Lord Jesus.  I need you more than ever before.  Please save me Lord Jesus save me from myself.  I am not suicidal right now.  I need my family members here with me.  Please come!

Forgive me, Father, for I am so far from perfect. Like the prodigal son, I have wasted so much of Your knowledge on trivial pursuits, and have often caused pain to others. Lord, I beg that You help me realize when I cause harm to others so that I can quickly apologize for my misdeeds. Help me carefully choose the words that I say so that others will be comforted rather than angered by my speech. Amen.

The Essence of Man, Woman, and Child!!

        This is an essay that pertains to the essence of man, woman, and child.  The definition of the word essence is the basic nature of something.  When we look at the basic nature of man, woman, and child; it is composed of the fleshly nature of being.  The fleshly nature of being consists of dust and clay.  The existence of mankind is derived from the earth.  This means that our existence is made up of the dust, clay, organs, cells, bones, as well as blood and plasma that comes from the composition of both parents. 

        Next, when it comes to my personal existence, my blood type is AB+.  This means that my father’s blood type is A, and my mother’s blood type is B+.  Therefore, when you put the two blood types together, you get AB+.  During the past 27 years, I used to donate plasma from 1983-2010.

 I used to earn money from donating my own plasma for money.  The money that I used to receive was nominal.  The definition of the word nominal means relatively very small.  This means that I did not earn very much.

        Moreover, when it comes to the makeup of our existence, an average person have a total of 610 muscles and 208 bones.  An average person has 23 chromosomes and the DNA structure that is derived from both parents.  According to 1^st Corinthians 11^th Chapter, it states that woman comes from man and man from woman.

 Both men and women are independent of each other.  However, woman comes from the womb of man; in Genesis 2^nd Chapter.  Whenever a child is born into this world, it has 46 chromosomes from both parents.  The blood type of the child varies.

 A chromosome is any of the microscopic rod shaped bodies carrying the genes.  A gene is any of the units of chromosomes by which heredity characteristics are transmitted. 

Further, I want to say that nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord; this comes from 1^st Corinthians 11:11.  The two might be different, but both man and woman become one flesh.  According to Genesis 3:20, Eve is the mother of the living.  Adam is the father of mankind.  In modern times, a mother is the head of the household.  The father is the breadwinner.  In a single parent home, usually, the mother is the head of the household and is the breadwinner.

The essence of men, women, and children are very important when it comes to creation.  Currently, some children consider their father’s as a sperm donor.  This is an insult to the father himself.  It is up to both parents to raise their children.  There are times when parents would consider co-parenting. 

This is a process itself.  This means that an average child or children would spend time with both parents equally.  In most cases, children would prefer to spend most of their time with their mother. 

Finally, the essence of man, woman, and child is very important.  In my estimation, the creation itself is very important.  I know that it is very important for men, women, and children to get along with each other.  During the last days, things are going to get worse.  I understand that the essence of mankind is based on man’s existence on earth.  It is very important for everyone to relate well with each other and oblige each other as well.  I want to be perfectly honest with everyone, I have a total of 36 nieces and nephews and 14 great nieces and nephews.  I do not have any children because of an injury that I had sustained back in 1979.  I was playing football and I got speared inside of the breadbasket.

In Conclusion, my parents admonished me when I was growing up, and they eventually told me not to have any children.  I am not saying that it is too late for me to become a father, but God has other plans for me.  I know that the essence of man essay is very important to me as well as others that are involved in my life right now.  To be perfectly frank with everyone, man determines the sex of any children.  It varies according to the type of woman that man is connected with.  Everyone has to be very careful when it comes to making a child.  Thank you for reading my essay.

Matthew 10:36
“…a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.”

Explanation and Commentary of Matthew 10:36

After explaining that he did not come to bring peace, but a sword, Jesus now says that a “man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.” Understandably, this can be confusing for many. After all, is Jesus not the Prince of Peace (Isa 9:6)? Did he not say, “Blessed are the peacemakers”

(Mt 5:9)? To be sure, Jesus’ death on the cross brought peace, first with God, and then with our fellow man. But here, Jesus is speaking in a completely different context.

Jesus was not as popular as one might have expected him to be in his life and his earthly ministry. He was, in fact, a rather polarizing person and proclaimed an even more polarizing message. To understand how the message of the already/not yet kingdom of God could be bad news for some, we have to remember that Jesus entered into the midst of a fallen and broken world, where many were given over to satan and were being somewhat rewarded for doing so by the prince of darkness. The evil one is content sometimes to wait until a person is in hell before he really begins to torture him. Otherwise, we might turn from him and to God in repentance. Those who are benefiting on earth from his reign will not only be resistant to Jesus, but also to his people. It is an absolute certainty that some will face this resistance from those in their own households.

Christians would do well to ask themselves if they are getting along too well with the world. We should be loving and forgiving, which are often qualities that are attractive to evening hardest hearts, but we should also be able to stand for truth in a culture that hates that truth. It is probably a sign this is exactly what is not happening if “all men love you” (Lk 6:26). All men did not love Jesus, and they will not love us either.

Breaking Down the Key Parts of Matthew 10:36

#1 “…a man’s enemies…”
In one sense the Christian has no enemies because we are called to love our enemies. We may be their enemies, but they cease to be ours when we love and forgive them. But in this sense, Jesus means those who hate us and persecute us for following Jesus.

#2 “…will be the members of his own household.”
This is tragic but true. It is purely the grace of God when all one’s household repents and loves Jesus, such as was the case with the Philippian jailer. Nevertheless, many are called, but few are chosen (Mt 22:14), so it should come as no surprise when some in our own household oppose us in our faith.

Precious Father, I thank You for the woman that brought me into this world, my mother. Without You and without her I would not be here today, praying that I encounter more women that have a strong belief in You. I know that no matter the gender, any person with a power and love for You is one that I would want around me, and I pray that I discover more of them soon. Amen.

Merciful Lord, keeper of the faith, I aim to be more like you. I pray that I have the resolve to remain steadfastly faithful to you, in the light times and even in the darkest times. Your son, Jesus Christ, remained faithful and kept His promise to us, even when He was crucified, and I am eternally grateful for this sacrifice, heavenly Father! I humbly ask that You let me faithfully serve You today and forever. Amen.

John 3:27 says John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.  This is the truth because we cannot receive it from man himself.  God makes it possible for everyone to receive the things that we need.  I have been blessed by God.  I feel much better now than I have over 40 years ago.  I was a 17 year old boy, and it was very rough on me and my siblings.  My friends were successful in their own life.  I remember back in 1984, a very close friend told me that he wanted me to finish school.  He was very angry because I have made a mockery of myself by skipping school and smoking marijuana.  I also drank alcohol and beer on a regular basis.  He was the only one out of all of my friends, who punked me out at another friend’s house.  If it was not for him, I would have end up in prison.  I did get into trouble on Friday June 21, 1985.  I went to jail for committing two counts of petty theft.  My grandmother bailed me out of jail.  She told me that I was going to finish school, if it meant for me to stay at her house. 

I pleaded guilty of my crimes.  My cousin had to stay in jail for 15 years.
       I graduated from high school on Tuesday June 10, 1986.  I worked at various jobs and I also graduated from College at the University of Toledo.  God blessed me with another job working with troubled kids in Toledo, Ohio.  I will admit that I was flip flopping around during the past 32 years.  I lived in Toledo, Ohio for almost 6 years.  I also lived in Charlotte, NC for 12 years.  I worked at various jobs in the Charlotte, NC Area.  I worked at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for 8 years.  I also got scammed out of $16,977 dollars in Western Union Funds.  God made it possible for me to get my money back that I have lost.  I am very grateful to God for saving me and protecting me and my family members and friends from all harm and danger.  Currently, I have written two books in one year.  My books are called Essays and My Grace is Sufficient for Me.  I also have another book online called The Best of Anthony Joseph Hopkins.  I am very grateful for everyone who have helped me along the way.  God will bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 If you are honest and truthful with Him.

Father in Heaven, You are worth seeking after. You are like gems found deep under the earth. You are like treasure. You are worth so much more. I will seek You today and tomorrow. I will seek You daily. I want to think of you when I wake and when I go to bed. Be my center. Be what occupies my thoughts. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

What is the difference between a sin and a transgression?

This is a comparison and contrast paper that compares two definitions. The first word is sin and the second is transgression. What is the definition of the word sin? A sin is an immoral act that goes against divine law. Whereas, a transgression is an act that goes against a law, rule, or code of conduct; an offense.
Next, when we think of a sin, it has a lot to do with wrong doings in a person’s life. A transgression is when a person does something wrong intentionally. When we think of a transgression, this is something that is done with or without malice. The definition of the word malice is the intention or desire to do something evil.

Moreover, in some cases, a transgression is an intentional act or action on the part of a person, place, or thing. Sin itself is an intentional act as well. There are times when people do things without thinking. For example, on May 30, 1973, I had taken my first drink of alcohol. My mother told me and my siblings to stay away from the refrigerator.

Instead, I opened the refrigerator anyway just to see what was inside of it. As soon as I opened the refrigerator door, I saw my mother’s Miller’s Beer.  Afterwards, I opened a can of beer. I had taken one sip of beer, and I was intoxicated. I didn’t like it; I acquired a taste for it. As soon as my mother got home from the Club, she asked all of us in a sarcastic manner; who had drunk a can of her beer? I flat out denied it!! She smelled my breath, and she smacked me in my face. She told all of us to stay away from the refrigerator, but I had other intentions. Therefore, I had become an alcoholic; simply because of curiosity.

Eventually, my stepfather took me to the Club with him. I met all of my mother and stepfather’s friends at the Club. I was around grown people anyway. When it comes to sins and transgressions, I have had my share of them. From 1972 to 2015, I have had 43 years of troubles.

I have done so much in my life that my own family members do not talk to me anymore.  Anyway, the difference between a son and a transgression is that both of them are bad. On the other hand; the intentions of sins and transgressions tend to vary according to behavioral action. There are times when people do things without thinking about the consequences of their actions. In my case, I ended up joining street gangs, smoking cigarettes and marijuana at the age of 9. I ended up getting into trouble at school because I was hanging around the wrong crowd. When it comes to a sin and a transgression, we must look at the Bible.

In the Bible, it states that our sins has separated us from God. However, I want to inform everyone that God is merciful and just. He is slow to anger and abounding in mercy. I want to say that God has been good to me for the past 54 years. Even though, I have made a lot of mistakes during a 45 year period. God has given me a second chance at life. I am very happy that I have made amends with my mother and my siblings. I want to say that I am a whole lot happier right now than I was when I was in the streets.

God is good!! Please give Him a chance!! I had given Him a chance to be involved in my life. Currently, I am attending church on a regular basis. I am also reading the Bible, sharing the Good News with others, and making amends with everyone that I have wronged in my life. I have even made amends with all of my enemies. Thank you for reading my essay.
