Thank you very much for all of your positive feedback within the past few hours. My brother really need to read my essays and blogs because he cussed me out because I had eaten some food. My brother doesn’t know that I have diabetes. I have been participating in an adult sibling rivalry for 40 years now. I forgive all of my family members simply because they are choosing alcohol over God’s Grace and Mercy. The alcohol is his idol and his personal God. Please pray for me and my entire family members because all of them are in need of Pastoral Counseling and therapy just like I have been Court Ordered years ago. Counseling and Therapy is really helping me to restore my sanity. Frankly, all of my family members are in dire need of both Pastoral Counseling and Therapy in their own lives. I have been clean and sober for 35 years! My own family members don’t care about it! The alcohol and drugs are destroying our family right now! I have made a decision to turn my life over to God; rather than dwell in a life with alcohol and drugs ! May The Lord God Continue to Bless them and hopefully enrich their own lives individually! Good Morning Everyone 🙏 May The Lord God Continue to Bless All of You as well!
This is a special essay concerning God’s instruction to man while we are sleeping. The instructions for all of us regarding this matter are inside of the Bible. The instructions on top of this essay are very true. We must follow them. According to Job 33:14-16 says for God may speak in one way or in another, yet man does not perceive it. Verse (15) in a dream in a vision of the night when deep sleep falls upon man while slumbering on their beds. Verse (16) then He opens the ears of men and seals their instruction. This means that God gives us divine instructions even while we are sleeping. God gives us things to do for Him in our personal lives. It is that we do not even know it. For example, in my case, I have been having dreams about the military, as well as during the time that I was in high school. I was in NJROTC at Roth High School in Dayton, Ohio.
I had dreamed this last night. However, I did not know that God was communicating with me. Even though, I have never heard God’s Voice in my entire life, I feel that God is giving me a message. I did not know at the time when I heard Rick Warren’s Sermon on How to hear God’s Voice. He was talking about Job, and I grasp the message, while I was at the Dayton Metro Library. It let me know that God has many ways that He communicates to mankind. I have been hearing a voices for the past 8 years from some unknown source.
I will have to pay attention to where I am hearing these voices because if it is not from God, them it is a satanic forces. I will have to say that I have been baffled for a while because I have been hearing voices and I have been trying to figure it out whether it is from God or Satan’s deceptive methods and strategies. Another way that God speaks to man is through the Holy Spirit.
In Romans 8:26 says; likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning’s which cannot be uttered. I did not know that God has another way of speaking to us, and it is through His Holy Spirit.
Moreover, I want all of you to know that God has many ways of letting us know that He is still in charge of things. I know when it comes to my personal life, I had been disobedient by looking at porn and psychic related materials. I guess you might as well say that I wanted a quick fix to my problems. I am also guilty of receiving special readings from numerologist. I had confessed all of this to God and I feel relieved because I am doing His work for now on. God also has other ways of punishing us for our iniquities and transgressions. I am still a Work in Progress. I still have a long way to go!!
In addition, I am very happy because I can reveal all of this to everyone. I am very happy to become a Child of God. Psalms 103:8-14 says 8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. God knows that we are dust and spirit. Therefore, I am very happy that I can do His work for Him. Thank You for reading my essay.
I have a very important question to ask everyone. Are we all inside of God’s Hands? The answer is yes! I am saying this because it is God who is doing for us more than we are doing for ourselves. I know that according to Proverbs 20:24 says a person’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand their own way? It is God that is doing the work for all of us in our personal lives. I will admit that I used to question God all of the time when I was a whole lot younger. Currently, at the age of 52, I am keeping my mouth shut because God has a way of disciplining mankind for disobedience. I want to inform everyone that I used to use God Name in vain all of the time. This is simply because I was a very angry person growing up.
Further, I used to question my own authority figures each and every single time that I was intended to do something for them. I always asked why, who, how, when and what all of the time. To be perfectly honest in Proverbs 20:20 says if a man curses his father or mother, his lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness. This is not a laughing matter because God can discipline you for the rest of your entire life, simply because a child has totally disrespected their parents. To be perfectly honest with all of you, we are all inside of God’s Hands.
In Addition, It is God’s unfailing love that he has for all of us that He provides us mercy. The definition of the word mercy is undeserved favor for someone or something. To be released from punishment. I feel that God is giving all of us a second chance as long as we repent of our sins. I feel at this time that God has cancelled all of my debt and sins because I am constantly repenting all of the time. Do you know that each day of our lives, we commit sin? It is not very easy to let go of our sinful nature. It has to be done in order for each and every last one of us to receive divine forgiveness.
Moreover, I want to tell everyone that I am writing this blog to let everyone know that God will continue to bless you as long as you are living according to His Word. I have to make direct amends with my family members for the things that I have done wrong towards them and others. My A.A Sponsor told me a very long time ago that I must make amends in order to set things right with God. I have an opportunity to make direct amends with everyone in my life. I will admit that I have not been a perfect child growing up. I have been very mischievous and sinful. I am very sorry for injuring others and myself all because I wanted to gain something from each person. I will admit that I was selfish, egotistical, and a self-righteous person. If I was not right in anything that I have done, then I would get angry and upset as well.
Finally, I want to tell all of you that I have a very long way in my Christian Walk because I have been robbing God in tithes and offerings to the church. I read the Bible every single day, and I am still a sinner. God has healed me from all of my sins, iniquities, and transgressions. I am still a Work in Progress just like everyone else. I am taking things day by day. I am clean and sober because I have been court ordered to A.A and other support groups. I am very sorry for disappointing God, Jesus Christ, others, and myself. Please continue to keep me in your prayers. Thank You for reading my blog.
This is an essay that will focus on my strengths and weaknesses as a person. First, I will have to let go of some of my personal weaknesses. How do I maintain the momentum of growth in my life? I have to realize that my spiritual growth is a choice. How do I finish the course and the race? 1. I must fix a daily time with God. You cannot bear fruit if you are not connected with God. I am guilty of self hoarding and loathing. Therefore, I had to get myself acquainted with God. We need to be consistent when it comes to God. I need to spend quality time with God by praying and reading His word. The reason why I am sinning is because I will admit that I did not spend enough time with God. I am asking God, what exactly does He want with me? 2. I must have my mind on the scriptures. God’s Word is inerrant. If we do not get this in our hearts, we will be spiritually cranky. I must be able to put soul food in my mind rather than porn and illicit music. What I put into my mind, is what it will come out. We have to fill our minds on the Word of God.
Next, I want to inform all of you that all you need to do are fill your mind with Christ-like activities. 2nd Timothy 2:15 says Study to show thyself approved unto God to be a worker of the Lord. We must rebuild your mind with the word of God. We all have patterns of the hope for our life. How do we make the right choices in our daily lives? What need to be done is look at ourselves in a mirror and ask God who am I as a person? I must pray before I am able to read the Bible each day and night. I must ask God for Hope and enlightenment. I must learn how to speak the truth, and live in the truth. The truth will set you free.
Also, I will admit that at first, I was very uncomfortable in sharing God’s Word with others. I could not let our minds have a condescending attitude about certain things in my life. I must allow people to be themselves. I must learn to start my day and end it with prayer. Some of my personal hang-ups have a lot to do with my past resentments that I have with myself and other people. In Step 10 of Alcoholics Anonymous it says that we must continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Further, my daily inventory consists of housecleaning that I must do with myself and others. James 5:16 says confess your trespasses to one another brethren that you may be healed because the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. What I need to do each day is live in the solution instead of the problem. I must make positive changes for the better. My life right now consists of ups and downs of life. It is based on how I live my life in the here and now. The present life always concerned me. This is because I do not have a job. I have earned money from selling my blogs. I have sold at least 10 blogs for a total of $51.00 dollars online.
In addition, I am not trying to make a profit from writing. I am relaying God’s Message to other people. I am sharing my experience, strength, and hope with others, so that other people can learn on how I became a Christ-like man. I have come a very long way in my personal life. I am a person who is highly educated, very intelligent, articulate, unselfish, kind, polite, respectful, helpful, friendly, brave, bold, considerate, and compassionate. I also have a lot of common sense. My life story consists of the following: I am a person who is not afraid of telling others the truth about me. I am a survivor of physical, mental, emotional, and psychological trauma in my personal life. Moreover, I was abused from May 30, 1972 to November 25, 1985 by my stepfather. I have forgiven him for stabbing me with a hook knife. I got stabbed inside of my left forearm by my stepfather. The reason why this happened in the first place is simply because my stepfather tried to kill my little brother over a dice game. I am responsible for telling the police not to send him to jail for attempted murder and felonious assault. I also was involved in sexual immorality for 24 years by affiliating myself with prostitutes in the United States. From June 24, 1986 until July 3, 2010, I had spent over $100,000 dollars on sex.
Frankly, I had learned life lessons by staying out of trouble and away from mental health institutions in Charlotte, NC and Dayton, Ohio. I have decided to follow Jesus Christ as of February 15, 2015. There is no turning back. I have been clean and sober since Wednesday May 2, 1990 at 7:00PM. I have been clean and sober right now at this time for 28 years 3 months and 18 days. I am a person who hears voices every day since Thursday November 8, 2009. I was a patient at Broughton State Psychiatric Hospital; when I started hearing voices. This is called a principality. This is because the voices that I hear each day are not the Holy Spirit. There are times when I ask God to stop these voices from bothering me. It is scary when I hear things and people’s voices that others do not hear.
Finally, it is better to tell the truth rather than lie about these things. My own family members disrespect me because they really do not understand mental illness. My siblings do not talk to me anymore because I hear voices. I will admit that I tend to sleep a whole lot from taking an antipsychotic medication called Trilafon. I have been a mental ill patient since Tuesday July 15, 1997 at 10:15AM. I have been having problems with a mental illness and it is affecting my relationships with other people.
I thank God for being alive every single day of my life. I know that I am a Blogger and a Writer. I have earned my college degree from the University of Toledo on June 12, 1993 and again on June 17, 1995. I have earned my Associates in Applied Sciences in Social Services Technology and my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. In Conclusion, I want to tell everyone the whole truth about my situation because it enables me to be sincere about my mental health condition. I want to tell everyone that I have earned my Social Work License for over 20 years now. At this time, I have to renew my Social Work Assistant License from the State of Ohio Marriage & Family Department. I really feel at this time that I have come a long way in my personal life. I am feeling a whole lot better in my personal life right now. I have experience in working in the field of Social Work and Library Administration. I really know that my life at this point has improved tremendously. Thank You Very Much for reading my essay!!

You see in human beings creatures who, by nature, have a good heart and pure intentions and this makes you forgive easily and get hurt a lot less. It is true, the world is full of many good people who do things inadvertently and in good faith they deserve forgiveness, but it is important to distinguish between such people and people who do acts maliciously. Don’t go forgiving people who are just going to hurt you again. Forgive, but don’t forget. Share your results with friends to learn more about them! Share Result Share
The purpose of this essay is to ask a very important question. What have the Lord done for you lately? For example, God has kept me alive for 60 years. God has given me the ability to do what is necessary for me to stay clean and sober. The Lord God has changed my behavior for the better. An example of what He has done is prevent me from using vulgarity on a daily basis. God has also removed the desire from me to look at pornography each day. Proverbs 15:1 says a soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Next, I want to inform all of you that God has improved my prayer life with Him. God has improved my behavior when it comes to improving my thought life. An example of this is whenever I hear voices that are not benevolent, I start reciting Bible verses out loud. I still have a long way to go in my personal life. When it comes to my prayer life, I have been fasting as well. Hebrews 11:1 says faith is the substance of things that are hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. My faith in God is very strong. I have been writing inside of my journal for almost a year now. I have been writing blogs for the past 8 years.
Moreover, I am a Blogger right now. Love keeps no record of wrongs. I will admit that I have been hearing voices that are not benevolent in nature. The voices that I hear each day and night are derived from events that happened to me on Tuesday October 13, 2009. This is the day when gang members in the Charlotte, NC Area tried to kill me. There are wisdom in many counselors. A wise coach knows how to develop skills in order to win sports.
Further, I used to play basketball when I was a little boy. I played basketball for 4 years. I played for the YMCA in Dayton, Ohio for 2 years. I also played basketball for Edison Elementary School and Franklin School in Dayton, Ohio from 1976 -1978. I also boxed for the Salvation Army Boxing Club from 1979-1984. I also was in NJROTC at Nettie Lee Roth High School from 1979-1982. I was in the Color Guard during my freshman year in high school. I graduated from high school 3 years late because I went to Job Corps in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My life has changed from 1984-1990. I had sustained injuries to my left hand. I broke my left hand on Friday July 6, 1984 at 3:45PM at Edison Elementary School Playground. I was playing basketball with my friends, and I will admit that I was intoxicated.
Also, the injury occurred while I was faked out by one of my friends. Suddenly, I was up in the air, and I landed on my hand. I was in a state of shock because my bones came out of my hand. I was transported to Miami Valley Hospital. I was admitted to the hospital for 3 days. I had surgery on my left hand and wrist on Saturday July 7, 1984 at 1:00PM. My surgery took 6.5 hours. The surgeon had to put a steel plate inside of my left hand because my bones were damaged. I am saying that to say this. I am a brand new person. I am a brand new creation when it comes to God.
In Addition, I graduated from high school at the age of 20. I graduated from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School on Tuesday June 10, 1986 at 7:00PM at the Memorial Hall in Dayton, Ohio. Within 9 months, I was enrolled at Central State University for 2 years from April 1, 1987 -1989. I was enlisted in the United States Marine Corps from January 21, 1988-February 21, 1988. I did not stay in the United States Marine Corps very long because of behavior problems. I did not take things seriously until Thursday January 21, 1990; when Peaches, my girlfriend at the time, told me in my face in the rain on Federal Street in Dayton, Ohio that she did not love me anymore. She admitted that she used me just to move another man inside of my apartment.
From January 21, 1990 to September 1, 1990; I went to my grandmother’s house and stayed until I went to treatment. On Friday May 4, 1990; I had a hernia operation at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. I was not able to urinate because of a bowel obstruction/blockage. The doctor inserted a catheter inside of my penis just to remove the fluids that was inside of my bladder. I stayed with my grandmother’s house when I was discharged from the hospital. I stayed with her until June 1, 1990. I went to treatment for drugs and alcohol until I moved to Toledo, Ohio on Friday September 1, 1990. I had to leave Dayton, Ohio because there wasn’t anything here for me. From 1990-1996, I lived in Toledo, Ohio. I enrolled at the University of Toledo from Monday April 1, 1991-Friday June 14, 1996. I had a lot of fun in Toledo, Ohio.
Proverbs 20:24 says a man’s steps are of the Lord; how then can a man understand his own way? I guess my biggest problem is that I didn’t know that it was God, who was doing exactly for me, more than I was doing for myself. It is the Holy Spirit that I bear that is doing everything for me. Proverbs 16:9 says a man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord direct his steps. It is the Lord who directs my steps. Jeremiah 10:23 says O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
Job 34:21 says for His eyes are on the ways of man, and He sees all his steps. Proverbs 21:2 says every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts. Proverbs 30:5 says every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Finally, God has blessed me with the air that I breathe each day of my life. God has blessed me with my five senses, as well as hands, arms and legs that move each day. God has blessed me with a place to stay and Bibles to read each day of my life. God has blessed me with the ability to read and write. Amos 3:3 says can two walk together unless they are agreed.
My name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I am a Blogger. I have been writing for the past 31 years now. I thank the Lord God for blessing me with the desire to write. I want to thank all of you for allowing me to entertain you with my blog. Thank you for reading my blog.
