Psalms 55:22 Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. This means that we must be willing and honest at the same time. My burdens consist of feeling very deeply depressed because I got fired from my job at UNCC. As soon as I lost my job, I felt very depressed because of my behavior. For example, I went home for a while. I went home to Dayton, Ohio for a total of 3 months. I have been helping my family members. My mother was a huge supporter for me. I know that everytime something happens bad to me, I have a tendency to run away from my problems. I tend to cry like a little child. If I am hurt emotionally and mentally, I tend to shut down completely. I do not like to argue with anyone anymore.
Next, I went home just to redeem myself. Even though my family members and I are different in style and manner. I know that I have been suffering from depression for years now. My mother always been available to talk to me about all of my problems. I need to pay my debts. I have to get a job so that I can pay off all of my bills. I really miss living in Charlotte, NC. I have been running to the hospital for a while as well. I am giving God all of my life and time with Him. I have to get a grip of all of my life right now. I need to talk to God about all of my behavior and I need to change it for the better.
Finally, I have to worship God in Spirit and Truth. I have been suffering for the past 25 years now. I am a person, who loves living in my own hometown. I am able to deliver the message that God told me to write. Please keep me and my family members in your prayers and thoughts 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praise The Lord Saints!! Praise The Lord!! How are all of you doing today? Fine, I hope. I have a very important question to ask all of you. What is the importance of salvation in all of us? I would like to start things off by asking everyone the definition of the word salvation. The word salvation means preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss: “they try to sell it to us as economic salvation” deliverance from sin and its consequences, believed by Christians to be brought about by faith in Christ.
The Biblical Definition is as follows: Salvation in Christianity, also called deliverance, or redemption, is the “saving [of] human beings from death and separation from God” by Christ’s death and resurrection, and the justification following this salvation.
Next, I want to inform all of you that I am very happy to have God in my life. Salvation is very important to all of us. I believe in what God says to me. I want to say that I am made right through Jesus Christ, who is my Personal Savior.
Further, I want to inform all of you that God loves you. He dwells inside of you. I know for me personally, I have come a very long way in my Christian Walk. I am very happy to have Jesus Christ in my personal life because it is very important for me as a Christian to have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. What does “salvation” really mean? If you don’t know that answer, you won’t be able to experience the fullness of your salvation. So let’s clarify the truth of salvation.
A good place to begin is by learning the meaning of the word. Most believers think the word salvation simply means “to be saved from eternal damnation.” But it means much more than that. Let’s look at three things the word salvation refers to:
1.Salvation Includes Deliverance From Evil—Both Temporal and Eternal
Salvation refers to spiritual and material preservation, deliverance from the fear of danger as well as pardon, restoration, healing, wholeness and soundness in spirit, soul and body. It’s true that when you make Jesus your Lord you are saved from the penalty of sin (Romans 5:9). You’ve been delivered from hell and you’re headed for heaven!
2.Salvation Includes a Life of Freedom
Salvation provides deliverance from the dominion of sin in this life (Romans 6:14). Thank God, you don’t have to sin anymore! You have been born of God and you have the power to live a holy life—a life of freedom.
3.Salvation Protects You from Earthly Dangers
Psalm 91 tells you that you will be delivered from pestilence, which includes serious sickness and disease, famine, earthquakes and other calamities. It says you’ll be protected from sudden death that comes by the weapons of men. It promises you a long, satisfying life and deliverance from every kind of trouble that comes your way.
All these are wonderful promises, but they aren’t automatic. These promises operate under specific conditions, and Psalm 91:1-2 tells you what those conditions are: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!”
If you want to experience the fullness of this great salvation Jesus purchased for you, exert consistent effort. Don’t give up, and don’t give in. Stand up for everything salvation has afforded you. Focus on the Lord and His Word. Stay in constant communication with Him through prayer. Experience all that is available to you through Jesus Christ!
Finally, please keep me in your prayers because I have to learn how to be as I am through Jesus Christ. I want to inform all of you that I really love all of you because all of us are Children of the Most High God. I am very happy because God is working inside of me. He loves all of us that He died for all of us. I am going to imitate God!! We should imitate God!!
My body is a temple of the Holy Ghost. Give me this day my daily bread, and the strength and wisdom to accept only my daily amount. Lord, I pray that You help me to approach all things with moderation, but know that I am a sinner. I want what I cannot have, and that which I do have, I want more of. Hold my hand, loving God, and show me the path towards a healthy and loving relationship with You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Dear God, I ask that your love will guide me in times where I have been offended. May I never accommodate hatred in my heart, Lord. I pray that in every situation, I will be able to love as you do, so that peace can truly reign and lives can be changed. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Proverbs 22:2 says: The Rich and the Poor Man has this in common. The Lord is The Maker of them all. This is true because we all have the same father. His name is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ 🙏🙏🙏🙏 is worthy of being my Father because my own biological father was not available for me. Jesus Christ is a friend, who sticks closer than a brother. Jesus Christ is My Saviour and a very good friend. Jesus Christ died for my sins. Jesus is the reason for the season. When human beings let you down, Jesus is always around to brighten up my day.
The Rich man and I are alike. You are the Maker of both of us. I know that I am not perfect, but I am rich in faith. I worked for the majority of my life. I earned enough money just to get by. I am saying this because I had my first job at the age of 11. I used to deliver newspapers from house to house for three years. I remember when my mother asked me, will you be able to deliver newspapers and attend school each day of the week? I told my mother yes, I can go to school and deliver newspapers after school. From 1976 to 1979, I worked for the Dayton Daily News. I also played basketball at the Dayton YMCA, which is located in Downtown Dayton Ohio. Frankly, I want to inform all of you that I used to share my wealth with others that were in my family. Everytime I got paid, I helped my mother with her bills. I also shared my money and time with my family members and friends.
The real meaning of this Bible verse is simple. You have to watch what you are doing because God is watching over all of us. I will admit that my biological father was not involved in my life; like my grandparents used to, but I am not going to shed anymore tears for a man, who only cared about himself and his own family members. Honestly, I still have family members who are always available for me to talk to each day. My own biological father was not around when I needed him. He was married to his own wife and children of his own. I cannot say that I resent him in any way. Like they say mother’s baby and daddy maybe. I do not have any children of my own. This is the reason why I considered my neice and nephews as my own children. I have a total of 38 nieces and nephews. Even though, I wanted to have at least one child. It’s too late for me to become a father. Just like the Bible verse says that the Rich man and Poor Man has this in common. He is the Maker of both of them.
Lord, light my heart aflame with passion for You. May I always be longing to serve You. Cast away all my laziness and let it be behind me, just as all sin is behind me in Christ. Make me a servant of Your kingdom. Amen.
Good Day Everyone!! How are all of you doing today? Fine, I hope. I have a very important question. What does Romans 14:12 and what it means to all people? The answer is; everything in God’s creation will be judged honestly and righteously. I want to say that every human being and animal must give an account to God.
I know for me that it has not been very easy growing up in my own hometown of Dayton, Ohio. I grew up very poor. This is simply because my mother had given birth to six boys and three girls. One thing that I can say about my mother is that she took care of all of us. My mother worked just to take care of her household. However, as the Bible verse states is that every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Next, I want to also say that I had been a very mischievous child growing up. I used to smoke marijuana and cigarettes at an early age. I was a follower rather than a leader. I did what everyone else was doing. My mother told me the meaning of my name. She stated to me that I am a leader instead of a follower. She told me that I was named after Joseph in the Old Testament. She also indicated that I am a leader. I did not know at the time, but she was absolutely right.
Moreover, I want to mention that my mother, grandmothers, and aunt told me the truth inside of my face. Each time they talk, I would get intimidated. This is simply because I either done something wrong, or they were correcting me for an injustice. This is the same thing that the Lord Jesus Christ is going to do. He is watching us all of the time. I realize that the Righteous Judge is Jesus Christ. Colossians 3:25 states that: But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. This means that every human being living and dead will be accountable for what they have done while inside of their body.
Further, I want to inform all of you that God and Jesus Christ are one. John 10:30 says I and my father are one. This means that I do not want to hurt the heart of God. I am doing my very best to conduct myself like a person who has good common sense. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all of these things shall be added unto you. I really need to know what my assignment from God. I am doing my part to make the Kingdom grow. I am a person who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am living to do the glory of God.
In Addition, I am called according to His purpose. I would rather live in God’s Will. I am a person who strives to make God smile every day of the week. Prior to that, I was engaging in bad activities simply just to appease my friends. I tend to be all by myself right now. I am chasing God right now. I am running to God. Doing the Will of God is not always easy. For me personally, I have to still make amends to my siblings. One of my baby sisters is not talking to me anymore. I know that I have wronged her in the past, but I tried to make amends to her; during my mother’s funeral, and she refused to acknowledge me as a person.
Grace is not an excuse to live a sloppy life. I have tried to make amends to all of my family members that I have wronged in my life. My siblings and I really have not spoken face to face since my mother’s funeral. I am in need of spiritual strength. I am in need of all of my siblings to make amends with me. I have forgiven each, and every person that have wronged me personally. I will not live with a heart full of hatred. Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from all evil. I am working with God to fix all of my problems. Help me God to know who my friend is or not.
Finally, I want to let everyone know that my whole behavior and outlook on life has changed. I do not sin whenever I get angry. I will admit that I do not use vulgarity anymore. I will admit that I still have character defects to deal with each day. You cannot help how you feel, but you do not have to act on the behavior of our emotions. I used to be a person who would use vulgarity as a defensive mechanism just to cover up my fears. We cannot let our fleshly emotions dictate us behaviorally. I have grown in Christ. Jesus Christ has changed me behaviorally. You do have a free will, and you have a choice.
A generational curse is basically a defilement that was passed down from one generation to another. For example, if your mother has been heavily involved in the occult, then she has become quite defiled (polluted or unclean), and has opened herself up to various demons to enter her. The Bible tells us that the sin of the parents can cause that same pollution to be handed down to their children:
Lamentations 5:7, “Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.”
What happens is that not only is the uncleanliness handed down, but demons move right in and take advantage of this often at a very young age in a person’s life (often before birth). The person then goes throughout life struggling with the same bondages that their parents struggle with. The good news is that the Blood of Jesus is more powerful than any bondage that may have been handed down to you! You can be set free and completely released from the effects of any generational curses handed down to you!
If you struggle with the same bondages as your parents, or see siblings with the same problems, then it is quite possible that you are suffering from the effects of a generational curse. Many times when you see three generations suffering from depression…
It’s almost always a generational curse at work and a spirit of heaviness took advantage of those cures in each of their lives through the defilement that was passed down. I believe generational sin curses (curses caused by sins of the forefathers) are automatically broken at the time a person receives salvation, but the unclean spirits that entered in before they accepted Jesus still need to come out.
Other generational curses such as encountered in Freemasonry, need to be renounced and broken in order to be set free from them. Once a curse is broken, the next step is to drive out the spirits that may have entered in because of that curse.
Finally, I am bringing this topic up simply because our society consists of breaking down family relationships, and immorality. I have noticed that; the rich are getting richer, and the poor continue to suffer. However, I want to inform everyone that generational curses consists of sexual immorality. It also has a whole lot to do with the activities that are inside of families that deteriorate relationships.
For example, if a mother or father have children by multiple sex partners. To be perfectly frank with all of you, I want to inform all of you that anytime that: there is a lot of alcoholism and drug abuse inside of the families. This means that parents are passing their bad habits to their children. Another example, is when parents that have children by different people. It really hurts because there are some children that are following their parent’s path in life. In which, leads to family dysfunctionality.
I know that there are children, who are following their parent’s paths in life. Even though, there are success stories in a dysfunctional family. For this reason, children are moving away from their family of origin. There are so many children, who decide to pick up bad habits that their parents tend to have. What kind of pattern that you are setting inside of your homes? It varies in one way or another. It really hurts me because I grew up in a family that was filled with generational curses. This is very serious because there are some parents who are teaching their own children how to use vulgar language.
The answer to this question is yes. This is by disobedience and not listening to God. This is very easy for man to do in the first place. This is because it was done by Adam and Eve by eating from the Garden of Good and Evil. God told both of them to avoid eating from it in advance. Man is solely responsible for following God’s orders and commands. In order for man to survive on earth for a duration of 70 years or longer, Man must listen and pay attention to God.O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walked to direct his steps Jeremiah 10:23.
Next, man has a free will as well as a choice, when it comes to listening to God. When it comes to listening to God, a man must be willing to listen to God for the rest of his life. In order for mankind to heed the message of God, it takes an open mind and the willingness to listen to the Lord’s Precepts. In my personal life, I have made a whole lot of personal mistakes. I have sinned and done so much wrong that I do not have a choice but to listen to God. Man’s goings are of the LORD; how can a man thenunderstand his own way? Proverbs 20:24
When it comes to the brain induced effects on the Holy Spirit, it is caused by injury or alcohol and drug abuse. There are other diseases that would hinder us from hearing our Spirit. The Holy Spirit itself is a part of the Trinity. God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is intact, especially when it comes to some people. However, the Spirit itself is derived from God. I know that when it comes to myself, I am a work in progress. I am a person who has come a very long way in my personal life.
I have managed to make changes in my life by attending AA Meetings, graduating from the University of Toledo in 1993 and 1995 respectively. I have managed to work at various Colleges and Universities to gain some personal experience in Social Work, Counseling, and Library Sciences. I have been clean and sober for 27 years now. I am responsible for keeping myself away from recreational drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, and other mind altering drugs. I will admit that I have a problem dealing with porn. I have not looked at it in over a month right now. If I were married to a Christian Woman, I would not have to worry about dealing with the issues of the world. I am guilty of dealing with the issues of the world. Romans 12:2 says do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. I will admit that I am praying for a woman to come into my life and transform me into the man that God wants me to. I will admit another thing is that I am working on myself by changing the way I communicate. I am not using bad words and staying away from people who use vulgarity. I am praying every single day and reading the Bible. I will admit that I am in need of an AA Sponsor. I am looking for someone who has experience in working the 12 Steps and reading the AA Book.
First of all, my name is Anthony, and I am a 57-year-old man; who has a lot of common sense. I am a very honest person. I am a person who knows a lot about life. What Do You Think?
