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.
What Does Reading the Holy Bible Means to Me? By Anthony Joseph Hopkins August 26, 2022
What does Reading the Holy Bible Means to me? It means that God is talking directly to me. God’s Words absorbs inside of my brain like a sponge. It gives me the knowledge and the special action words that I need to listen to each day.
Next, God’s Word gives me the confidence to do what is necessary for me to survive on earth. Every single time I read His Word, it helps me to grow as a human being. I want you to know that I really love reading God’s Word. His Word helps me to mature as an adult male; living on planet earth.
Further, I want to inform all of you that I am willing to share God’s Word to everyone who is willing to hear it. I want to inform all of you that 2nd Timothy 3:16-17 says All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Moreover, I want to say that if I need someone to talk to each day, I can always read God’s Word and it will calm me completely down if I am under a lot of stress. However, I know that God hears my prayers each and every single day of the week. I want to say that I am not a perfect person. I am a person who makes a lot of mistakes. I am a person who apologizes to God and other people if I have done something to offend them.
In Addition, I want to inform all of you that my life has been filled with ups and downs during the past 56 years. I know that I have disappointed my parents numerous of times by my actions. My emotions during the past 56 years have been filled with angry feelings. I cried every single time my parents argued in front of me and my siblings.
Furthermore, my parents were alcoholics. There were times when they did not know how to control their liquor. God talks to me all of the time. I want to inform all of you that God listens to all of my cries. I remember the very day that I had quit drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana. On Wednesday May 2, 1990, I have decided to give up the high cost to low living. This means I stopped drinking alcohol and stopped smoking marijuana on that special day. I want to inform all of you that this day is very special to me because two days later, I had a hernia operation on May 4, 1990.
Also, I want to inform all of you that was with me even throughout my College Career. From Monday April 1, 1991 through Saturday June 14, 1996. I graduated from college twice. I earned my Associates Degree on Saturday June 12, 1993 from the University of Toledo Community and Technical College. I had a lot of fun during that special day. My Supervisor gave me a job two days later. After I completed my internship, I earned an A+ Grade for the work that I had done at the Jerusalem Outreach Center in Toledo, Ohio.
Finally, God was with me again as soon as I graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies on Saturday June 17, 1995. God was with me because my behavior was not the best because I was acting like a crying baby at times. He heard all of my cries and concerns. I thought I was not going to make it through College. He did all of the work. The only thing I did was show up for class each day. I will admit that my behavior during class was not the best. This is the reason why God stepped in and helped

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.
Deuteronomy 16:17: And What it Means to All People!!
By Anthony Joseph Hopkins June 14, 2023
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 $1, 115 per month, this means that we will have to pay $115.00 dollars 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 $1,100 dollars per month. If I include my tithes and offerings, I will have to pay a total of $100.00 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.

2nd Timothy 3:16-17, and What it Means to All People. By Anthony Hopkins August 15, 2022
Good Day Everyone!! How are all of you doing this evening? Fine, I hope. I want to inform all of you that 2nd Timothy 3:16-17 is two of the best Bible verses inside of the Holy Bible.
I am saying this because it enables me to literally listen to God’s message and understand it at the same time. Whenever I feel worried or sad, I can always read something inside of the Bible to give me a morale boost.
The Bible itself has doctrine inside of it. It provides a set of standards that will enable me to take me to a level that I have never been before. I will admit that I have read the entire Bible several times. There are a lot of things that I need to remember.
Next, I want to say that I feel corrected by God because His Word enables me to grasp the meaning of each Bible verse. I realize that there are over 5,000 Bible Promises that I can read and learn all about what is inside of the Bible.
Further, I want to let all of you know that I feel a whole lot better after I read the Bible. I also know that each time I read the Bible, it allows me to learn what each book inside of the Bible is saying. I really understand what it is like to go through some of the things that each Writer felt emotionally from writing each Book in the Bible.
Moreover, I want to inform everyone that I really love reading Psalms and Proverbs because it is the Book of Wisdom. I know that I might not be the best reader of the Bible, but I can say that I have learned a great deal about the Bible.
I recall having a problem trying to understand what I used to read. I used to have a problem trying to pass math and reading. I still have a problem dealing with logic and probability when it comes to mathematics. As far as reading is concerned, it has taken me a number of years to understand what I am reading as well as reading comprehension.
However, I have learned a whole lot about reading comprehension. My parents used to help me with my homework in school. While I was attending Edison Elementary School, I have won the school spelling bee quite a few times.
My grandparents used to take me to church and I have learned a lot about the Holy Bible. I read the Bible each day and night. I have improved a lot when it comes to the Bible. Every single time I read the Bible, God is talking to me. God is reminding me that I am still with you.
Finally, I want to inform all of you that I listen to 93.7 WFCJ The Lite. I listen to the church sermons and it helps me to stay grounded in the Word of God. The Bible does a whole lot for other people who have problems reading and writing. I have come a very long way with my academic skills. Whenever I read the Bible, I know that God is with me right now.
In Conclusion, I want to say to everyone to make sure that they read one chapter per day from John and Proverbs. I have been reading the Book of Job. Job is the oldest Book in the Bible. Many people do not know that Job is the oldest Book inside of the Holy Bible. This is the truth. Job was an Oriental Man. He was blessed by God in the end. His friends did not understand him. Although they had been silent for over a week and a half after Job lost his children and livestock. Job was a very wise man, who possessed a great deal of intellect.
In Summary, I want to say that I have a very strong relationship with God right now. I always ask Him to follow me. Please go with me God everywhere I go. The Bible gives me what I need in my life right now. God Bless all of you. May the Lord God continue to Bless You All.
Good Day Everyone!! My name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I am from Dayton, Ohio. I have been clean and sober for a very long time right now.
I remember when I was a little boy running the streets in Dayton, Ohio. I know that I was a young man, who had a lot of potential. I guess I was a person who had needs at that time. The 1970s were rough for me and my family. I attended two different schools.
The schools were Edison Elementary School and Franklin School in the East Side of Dayton, Ohio. Whereas, Edison Elementary School was located in the predominantly Black neighborhood.
Although the neighborhood was rough, I still fought every single day for nine years straight. Actually, the other kids chased me home. Do you know that my fair-weather friends only wanted money and nothing else? My life during that time was very difficult.
My personal message for someone who needs God; please do not give up on your quest for seeking a Personal Savior. No matter how other people treated me during that time, I attended Church and I tried my best to stay out of trouble. My life at that time was very stressful. My mother had given birth to nine children. She had six boys and three girls. My sisters used to fight me as well. My brother and sisters had different fathers. I know that stress used to be one of my primary reasons why I stayed sick all of the time.
Further, I would tell someone who needs God in their lives to be very serious about it. God does not want anyone who is joking all of the time. My life during that time was madness.
I would say to someone who needs God to read Romans 10th Chapter and Acts 2:38 and pray afterwards. I would suggest attending a Church inside of your neighborhood, or a Church of your choice. I know that people at Church can be sarcastic at first until later.
Moreover, I want to inform all of you that you should listen to God. He will not steer you wrong. I know that when I got older, I made some decisions that went against God. I started drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana on a daily basis.
For years, I had become my best customer. My life was unmanageable until I officially found Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is my Personal Savior. God has already been by my side ever since I started utilizing Him in my personal life.
Finally, I want to say to someone who needs God to always trust your instincts. Never stop believing and trusting in Him. Please keep all of your family members in your prayers. Your family can be good, but it is You and Jesus Christ right now. Never quit!!
In Conclusion, I want to inform all of you that we should be running to God; instead of away from Him. My life is a lot better than it used to be. I am very happy to hear His Voice while I am reading the Holy Bible.
I am feeling much better since I have Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior. Please keep me and my family members in your prayers because we had a death in the family. We all need your prayers right now. God Bless All of You!!
Good Afternoon and God Bless You!! I want to inform all of you that I am taking a Biblical Approach when it comes to solving problems. I know that it is not very easy dealing with people. I want to inform all of you that God is watching and recording our behavior.
Next, when it comes to dealing with other people, we have to handle it in the same way that God did when it comes to other people. I remember when I used to be a very difficult person, my actual friends did not want anything to do with me personally. It is not very easy dealing with people, who behave in a way that is not conducive towards their own personal needs.
Further, I know that I still have a lot of growing up to do. I know that I have listen to music that is appropriate for God. I will admit that God is watching all of us from His Kingdom. I know that I have been hearing things that are not good at first. I will admit that I have been talking while I am sleeping. I know that both God and Satan talk to all of us at the same time. Satan tends to mimic God’s behavior. This is the reason why we have to start praying to God as well as reading His Word that comes from the Bible. We have to comply with God’s Word.
Moreover, I want to inform all of you that we have to be and act God Fearing all of the time. I know that God gives us our daily instructions while we are sleeping. This is according to Job 33:14-16. This is very serious because when we are sleeping, I know that God is talking to all of us in a way that is conducive towards our needs.
The third reality is that humans are broken and need restoration. Ephesians 4:12 tells church leaders to equip all believers for the work of Christian ministry. The Greek word used for equip [katartismos] had many meanings in the ancient world, but one meaning provides helpful parallels to evangelism. Katartismos was a medical term that emphasized the need to properly set a broken bone. Once healing occurred, the patient was physically restored to live for the purposes for which he or she was created. In a figurative application of katatismos, disciples recall their own spiritual brokenness, woundedness, and their healing, which helps them acquire the necessary empathy of and capacity to care for others. In sum, Box B declares that all people need God’s restoration—starting with non-believers who need redemption. We saints who need continuous rejuvenation portray the complementary side of discipleship.
Finally, I want to say that God is during His Miracles in my life. I remember when I used to suffer from night terrors because my step father used to abuse me when I was a child. I know that it is not very easy getting over these types of terrors. I know that I used to get chased home by other boys inside of my neighborhood when I was a little boy.
I really did not like going to school when I was a child because I used to get chased home all of the time. In Conclusion, I was very fond of my grandmother’s house. It was a safe haven from all of the neighborhood negative influences that were available at that time. I know that I had some good friends and bad ones as well.
I am very glad that I have a friend that I can always call on; whenever my mother and father was not available. I can call on the Lord Jesus Christ because He is always around whenever I need to talk to Him. I really love all of God’s Creation. Some of God’s Creation do not want you bothering them in any way. Please keep me in your prayers and thoughts because I have to take Metformin 500mg per day for diabetes. I have to eat something first before I end up taking the medicine. It can make a person sick if they do not eat anything with it.
I love all of you very much!! God Bless All of You!!
Andropause is the male version of menopause. For Instance, I have been going through these symptoms of Andropause for the past nine years now. The first thing that happens is that Men start losing their testosterone levels. In some cases, a man’s brain and testicles tend to shrink in size. For me personally, my testosterone levels have dropped 74 points in one year. Last year, my testosterone levels were 303 which is very low as well. This year, my testosterone levels dropped to a 229 level. If I continue to lose 74 points per year, I would have a testosterone levels of 155.
Next, I want to inform all of you that it is not very easy for me because I have been gaining weight during the past 14 years. It has been an up and down emotional rollercoaster as of late. I am losing Androgen levels inside of my body as we speak. I know that I am getting older right now.
Further, I am sleeping a whole lot lately. My life right now has been very slow. My motivation to get me up early in the morning has a lot to do with my energy levels right now. I weigh 292 pounds right now. I have been feeling sluggish during the past 14 years now.
Finally, I have to start taking care of myself better than usual. I have been doing things slow because I am sleeping a lot more than usual. I have to get this weight off immediately before I die from a heart attack. I have noticed that my muscle mass has dropped tremendously since 2010. Please keep me and my family members and friends in your prayers and thoughts because I have a death in the family right now.
In Conclusion, I have been walking around my apartment each day. I am having memory lapses and back pain right now. I have been having problems with my vision right now. Please pray for me because I am feeling very sick physically, Mentally and emotionally drained.
