Breakthrough Seizure

By Anthony Joseph Hopkins

       Good Evening Everyone!!! My name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins, and I am from Dayton, Ohio.  I was hospitalized last Tuesday after suffering from a Breakthrough Seizure.  I have been taking my medication as prescribed by my Neurologist.  I still had a seizure.  For Instance, I was at Fort McKinley United Methodist Church in Dayton, Ohio.

 I was participating in Bible Study on 9/17/2019 at 7:25PM.  I went to the restroom and suddenly, I collapsed.  After the seizure, I called for help.  I was not able to move.  Therefore, My Pastor called the ambulance.  I was not aware of it, but I had another seizure while being transported to Grandview Hospital in Dayton, Ohio.

        My brother came to the hospital because my Aunt called him.  It was the Lord Jesus Christ, Who saved my life.  I thought that my seizures came from dehydration and stress.  I want to inform all of you that I was in the Hospital for 2 days.  I also suffer from renal failure as well.  My kidneys hurt every single day of the week.  I want to say that I am very happy to be alive in Christ Jesus.  It is the Lord, who saved me from this type of seizure.

        I feel a whole lot better right now.  I want to inform all of you that I was not able to walk for 18 hours.  I was not able to sleep as well.  I want to inform everyone that I felt flushed and dehydrated on that particular day.  I had to sleep with a C-PAP Machine at the Hospital. 

1^st Timothy 5:8 And What It Means to All People?

                   By Anthony Joseph Hopkins

         Good Day Everyone!! I want to inform all of you that I am blessed and highly favored by the Lord.  How are all of you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to say that I am writing this essay because I really need prayer in this area.  First, I would like to say that for the past 4 years, I have neglected my household.

 I will admit that I have been paying bills for things that I do not need.  I want to say that I have been paying an excessive amount of money on a Cricket Wireless Phone Bill.  I have been paying $115.00 per month for three phone lines.  I also have to pay my student loans of $50.00 per month for three months from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  I have lawyers that I am paying each month for legal services.  My rent right now is $273.00 per month for Public Housing in Dayton, Ohio.  I also pay other bills and offerings to my Church.

Second, I want to say that as soon as I read this Bible verse, I started crying because I have been neglecting myself physically and financially.  I want to say that I need another Smartphone and I have to pay at least another $125.00 for a phone.  I have been hurting mentally because I have been hearing voices as well.  When it comes to this Bible verse, it has woke me up spiritually because I have been evaluating my life over the past month right now.  I will also admit that I have been feeling like an unbeliever because I have neglected myself and my entire household.

Third, I have been getting sifted like wheat by Satan and his demons.  This has completely altered my way of thinking.  I am very sorry for telling everyone this information, but it is the truth.  I have been relying on Meals on Wheels food each week instead of purchasing actual food for my own refrigerator.  I know that I am very wrong for mentioning all of this because I can barely take care of myself.  I receive monthly benefits from the Government because I suffer from Grand Mal Seizures and I also suffer from Schizoid Affective Disorder.  I also have other health problems that I have right now.  I am taking 23 prescription medications each day.  Therefore, I need all of your prayers because I suffer from Glaucoma and Cataracts. 

Fourth, I will admit that I have been hindered by Satan because I have been oppressed and depressed.  I know that I have to get a job right now.  However, I have been going to the hospital each month for therapy and for psychiatric consultations.  My household bills are $880.00 each month.  I also have to pay $186.00 dollars per month for life insurance as well.  I want to also say that I need Pastoral Counseling right now.  I also have to pay for storage of all of my possessions that are located in Charlotte, NC.  I have cried and felt depressed for the past few months.  I need all of your prayers and understanding because I have been beating myself up emotionally over this Bible verse.  Reality is sinking in right now.  I repent of all of my sins.  Please forgive me of my sins.

          I am very sorry for neglecting my household and for robbing God in all Tithes and Offerings.  I realize that the money that I earn does not belong to me.  It belongs to God.  Everything belongs to God!!

Ephesians 2:10 and how it Pertains to Our Personal Life?

          I really love this Bible verse because it gives me hope and faith in Christ Jesus.  This means that I am blessed by God.  He created me for a reason.  I want to say that I really need all of your prayers because I have been suffering from multiple health problems for over 20 years now.  The only thing that I am doing is waiting on the Lord.  The above Bible verse means that I belong to the Lord God. 

He created me for a reason.  We belong to the Lord and this is it.  This is a fact of life for all of us.  I want all of you to know that I am very happy today.  I am a Child of the Highest God.  We all our Child of the Most High God.  My whole attitude and outlook has changed for the better right now. 

I am very happy to believe in God’s Word.  His Word will not change.  I know that the air that I breathe, and the body that I have does not belong us.  This is a fact!! I want to inform all of you that God has created me, and He knew me from the time that I was inside of my mother’s womb.  I truly believe in Him.  All I want to say is that I am happier with myself than ever before.  My decisions are going to determine what I am as a person.  I am happy to be among the living.  My life is moved by the Word of God. 

The Meaning of Colossians 3:9-10

By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins

         Good Day Everyone!! How are all of you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform all of you that I am still a Work in Progress!!  I want to begin this essay off by saying that I love all of you very much.  I have a question to ask all of you.  Could someone please tell me whether making this complete change is related to our behavior and conduct?  It is very true that we are not supposed to lie to each other.  I want to know how you put off the old sinful nature to a new man.  For me personally, I am still learning about the Bible.

 I want everyone to know that this change is going to take a very long time.  This is a complete change in our overall behavior.  We have to learn how to a new creature in Christ Jesus.  I know that I had to take anger management in the past.  I used to have a problem with myself and with others.  My disposition has changed tremendously since becoming new again.  I am learning how to be perfect when it comes to the new man that the Book of Colossians is talking about.

Next, I want to inform all of you that I had to completely eliminate all of my secular music from my Mp3 Player.  I have sermons and worship music on it right now.  I also want to inform all of you that I have a mental illness.  I was only drowning out the voices that I was hearing.  These voices use vulgarity on a daily basis.  This is the reason why I am willing to allow Jesus to literally enter my heart and mind.  I need a complete makeover.  I want to inform all of you that I am praying and fasting right now.  I have not eaten anything since yesterday.  I know that this might sound radical in nature, but I am trying to fast in the same way that Jesus Christ did.

Also, I want to place emphasis on the Old Man for a change.  I want to say to everyone that the old me was a lustful and very carnal person.  I want to say that even though I attended church, I was affiliated with lewd women.  I have spent too much money on sex and pleasure.  I used to be an alcoholic.  I was drinking and smoking marijuana.  I did this just to cover up my emotions.  I really need all of your prayers because I want this old man of myself to be completely out of my life.  I do not want to go back into the world.  Even though I live inside of the world, I have to change my behavior.

In Addition, I want to say that the new man will be discussed right now.  The new man is Christ-like.  The new man that is inside of me is a very gentle person.  I will admit that I have changed for the better because I have been clean and sober for 29 years now.  The new person inside of me attends church on a regular basis.  The new person inside of me reads the Bible and pray every single day of the week. 

The new person inside of me is waiting for Jesus Christ to come back.  I know that Jesus Christ can completely heal me from all of my health problems.  Every time I hear worship songs, it makes me cry inside.  I can bear to see the man that I have been.  You know something, my neighbors inside of my apartment building have been talking about me.  I will admit that I used to be a hoarder.  Whenever, I feel sad and depressed, I do not eat anything.  There was a period of time that I used to neglect myself.  Currently, I want to hear God’s Voice.  I also will admit that I have been responding to internal stimuli. 

          I am trying my very best to change from the inside out.  It is that; I have been responding to internal stimuli for almost 10 years now.  The voices that are inside of my head always putting me down every single day.  This is the reason why I attend Church on a regular basis as well as AA Meetings.  God is working inside of me indirectly. 

I know this because He gives me the instructions that Job 33:14-16 states.  I have been reading the entire Bible and meditating on God’s Word.  God does speaks to all of us, even while we are sleeping.  This is the truth because it enables me to maintain a positive attitude.  I will admit that I am a very emotional person.  What I am doing right now is setting my mind on things above rather than on earth.  This is the reason why Jesus has revealed Himself to me in many ways.  It is that I am thirsty for the Living Water from Jesus Christ.  When it comes to the new man, it requires a complete change in conduct and behavior.  The friends that I used to have, I no longer hang around them.  The truth is: I feel much better right now than I did 10 years ago.  I do not harbor resentments like I used to.  I do not dwell on the past, unlike my siblings.  I feel much better right now because I know that God is watching over me.  God is also counting my steps.  I feel much better because I am losing weight.  I used to weigh 310 pounds.  I weigh 279 pounds right now.  I tend to meditate a whole lot.  I also read the Bible out loud because I want God to talk to me. 

Could Someone Please Tell Me Whether Matthew 8:22 and Matthew 22:32 Goes Hand in Hand?

                             By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins

          Good Day Everyone!! I would like to ask everyone a very important question.  Could someone please tell me whether Matthew 8:22 and Matthew 22:32 goes hand in hand?  I am asking this question because I am concerned about those who are spiritually dead and lost.  If someone is spiritually dead, they do not believe in God or Jesus Christ.  Matthew 8:22 says: But Jesus said unto them, follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.  Jesus is giving us a choice to follow Him.  I would follow Jesus Christ and serve Him for the rest of my life.  I guess I was misquoting the scriptures; but I was making a point to one of my family members because she has been placing too much emphasis on dead people all of her whole life.

          She was getting me to send her obituaries of people that she did not know.  It is making me frustrated because she can do this work for herself.  In Matthew 22:32 says: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.  I am only trying to gently admonish someone for placing emphasis on dead people all of the time.  Am I wrong for telling someone to stop emphasizing the dead? My point that I am trying to make is that God is a God of the Living only.  I can understand that people can be spiritually dead and spiritually blind simultaneously.  There is a difference between spiritual death and being spiritually blind.  All I am simply saying is that there is a time and a season for everything.  There are some people, who do not have anything constructive to do, but emphasize death and especially collect obituaries of dead people.

          It is okay to mourn.  However, it becomes an obsession to place emphasis on the death of others.  I want to give the definition of the words spiritual death and spiritual blindness.  First, the definition of the word spiritual death is another, narrow, “purified” meaning of “spiritual death” is “death in a spiritual way”, “to die being a spiritual person, not being an atheist”. Thus this means that “spiritual death” relates to two self’s: soul (real self, which is eternal), and ego (false self, which is temporary or material).  Whereas, spiritual blindness is Author has 560 answers and 551.4k answer views. That’s a great question. Strictly speaking — “Spiritual blindness” refers to a spiritual state where you hold fast to unbiblical teachings and beliefs and as a consequence quickly dismiss true biblical teachings because they conflict with yours.

          For those people, who have a preoccupation with death, I will have to pray for you.  The question that I have to ask is are you satisfied with not having an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ?  For me personally, I would rather have a relationship with Jesus Christ, than to place emphasis on death.  I am completely satisfied with my relationship with Jesus Christ.  I need to pray more each day.

          I am very sorry, but I do not endorse death, nor do I have a preoccupation with the death of others.  I am very concerned about my family members, who have this issue because I am getting slightly irritated because it is like she wants me to get involved in her activities.  I will admit that I think about my mother and family members, who are not here with me.  I have had fond memories of everyone that I know.  It is that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior right now, and I am content with going to heaven.

          2^nd Corinthians 4:3-4 says: But even if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.  All of this means that Satan is capable of causing some people to be spiritually blinded and completely confused until the gospel of Christ Jesus shines on them.

          This is a very serious problem that has to be resolved immediately. 

Proverbs 20:22: And what it means to All People.

          Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  This essay is titled Proverbs 20:22: And what it means to all people.  First, I want to say that Proverbs 20:22 says in the King James Version of the Bible: Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and He will save thee.  This means that we shall not seek revenge or vengeance towards each other.

          Next, we should be loving towards each other.  We should allow the Lord to take care of our problems.  There was a period of time when I used to retaliate on people; whenever they have hurt me in one way or another.  Let’s look at another Bible verse. Romans 12:19-21 says: (19.) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: For it is written, vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. (20.) Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him a drink: for in doing so thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (21.) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

          This is self-explanatory because we are supposed to love our enemies. Always do good; to those who spitefully use you, and persecute you.  I will admit that it has taken me over 12 years to learn a brand new behavior, and put it into practice.  God has been working inside of me for almost 30 years now.  I had to take anger management classes as well as attend Emotions Anonymous Support Groups for a period of up to 8 years in the Charlotte, NC Area.

          When a person looks at me right now, they see a person who has completely changed behaviorally.  For Example, I had to get off drugs and alcohol in order for me to change for the better.  I can say that I was covering up my emotions with alcohol and drugs from 1972-1990.  Another Example of my changed behavior is by staying away from people, who were using drugs and alcohol.  I also had to stay away from places that people and alcohol used to mix together.  The definition of the word recompense is to return like for like, and evil for evil.

          However, the word recompense means to seek vengeance against another person simply over a wrongdoing.  You see, for me personally, I have changed for the better because I refuse to argue with other people anymore.  Therefore, I view myself as a very intelligent person.  I am a person, who is very friendly.  I am a person, who loves other people.  I also will admit that it takes practice, when it comes to dealing with other people in a positive manner.

          In Addition, I want to say that I am praying more each day of the week.  I am also reading my Bible all of the time.  I had to confess of all of my sins every day of the week.  I am a very pleasant person to be around.  I remember when things used to be very difficult in my personal life.  My personal life in the past consisted of looking at porn, smoking marijuana, and drinking alcohol.  To be frank with everyone, I was the most misunderstood person in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio.

          Moreover, I want to say that from 1972 to 1990: My life consisted of immorality.  There was a period of time when I did not care about myself.  During the time that I was in active addiction, I did not take care of myself.  I even neglected my personal responsibilities, and I have dealt with lewd women from 1986 through 2010.  From that period of time, I have spent my money on sex.  I spent my money on traveling and foolishness.  Currently, I do not have a relationship lewd women anymore.  I no longer have a sex addiction anymore.

          Finally, I want to say that I do not have a desire to retaliate on other people.  God has changed me for the better.  2^nd Corinthians 5:17 Says: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  I have a brand new mind and heart right now.  God continues to work inside of me every single day of the week. 

          In Conclusion, I want to say that I would rather build up the next person rather than tearing them down.  I want to inform all of you that I am reconciled to God right now.  I am very happy with my life right now.  I am very excited to write blogs and essays about the Lord Jesus Christ.

          In Summary, it is very important for all of us to love one another.  Seeking vengeance towards another person is not worth it.  I also want to say that I have a whole lot of love inside of my heart right now.  I want to say that I will no longer have an attitude of bitterness.  Personally, it is time for me to pray for others rather than fighting them.  My life has changed for the better because my family relationships has improved dramatically since 2010.  I am a person. Who would give things away to other people?  My Spiritual Gift is helping others and sharing God’s Word with everyone.  I no longer have any angry feelings anymore.  Psalms 4:4 Says: Stand in awe and sin not: commune with your heart upon your bed and be still Selah.

Proverbs 23:7 And What This Really Means to all People?

        Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today? Fine, I hope.  I would like to start things off by saying that Proverbs 23:7: Says; for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee: but his heart is not with thee.

 This means that if a person, who possess a negative attitude and thoughts inside of his or her heart it usually defines them.  However, this is not the case with all people, but there are a few, who possess a negative attitude all of the time.  In my case, I remember when I used to be a pugnacious person growing up in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio.  I also was raised inside of a dysfunctional family household.  Even though, my grandparents, mother, and stepfather made me attend church, but it did not change my attitude.

The definition of the word attitude is a state of mind or a particular feeling.  My feelings as a child and an early adult male did not change until I was incarcerated for a period of time.  Next, I have had a lot of resentments towards my ex-wife as well as others that I know.  Whatever a man thinks inside of his heart, usually defines his character.  There are some people, who would carry their burdens with them to the grave.

Further, things changed as soon as I completed the 12 Steps.  I know that I had to write down all of my ill feelings on a sheet of paper.  I started with myself because I had a problem with myself.  The reason why is because I was using vulgarity all of the time.  I was using vulgarity when I was 7 years old.  This is because my mother and stepfather were alcoholics.  They were dispensing cuss words at each other for a period of 9 years.  As I recall, my mother shot my stepfather when I was 7 years old.

Moreover, I used to be so angry that I used to cry all of the time.  My school peers used to beat me up for 7 years.  This is until I started boxing at the Salvation Army in Downtown Dayton, Ohio.  I was 14 years old when I started boxing.  I have taken all of my angry feelings on my opponents.  In Addition, I also became a street gang member at an early age as well.  My mother sold her shotgun just to get me a membership at the YMCA.  I played basketball for 4 years.

Honestly, I prayed to God when I was in jail because I did not want to possess a negative attitude.  I went to jail a total of 27 times within the past 22 years.  As soon as I was incarcerated, I got into several fist fights with correction officers and other inmates in North Carolina.  I will admit that I have changed a whole lot since 1997.  On July 15, 1997, I was in jail for a week for committing a reckless assault charge at the Men’s Uptown Shelter.  This person called me out of my name.

Also, I was remanded to court ordered anger management by the Mecklenburg County Common Pleas Courts as well as the Dayton Montgomery County Probate Court for non-compliance.  The judge at the time did not like me because I was just as educated as he was.  I served a total of 3 years of probation for committing 2 counts of communications of threats.  The charges were later dropped because I was only asking for prayer.

Furthermore, I want to say that when people curse at me, I usually swing on them.  Currently, I have learned to walk away.  This is the reason why all of my relationships with women were not successful.  I was looking at porn, while I was involved in my relationships.  The biggest problem is that I used to have is a very impulsive behavior.  I am more reactive; rather than proactive.  I guess this is the reason why I have an “I can do bad by myself!” attitude.

Whenever, I get upset with anyone, I usually pray to God because I do not want to get into trouble.  It is a shame when Law Enforcement know me in 3 states.  For instance, Ohio, North Carolina, and Michigan; members of Law Enforcement in these states know me personally.  My record does not exist anymore because I have completed probation and anger management for 3 years.  When it comes to the Bible verse at hand, I will have to say that God knows me more than mankind.  Man can only form an opinion about me.  I have learned over the years to grown spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically.  As far as eating and drinking are concerned, I no longer have a desire to drink alcohol in excess as well as smoking marijuana.

It is that eating and drinking can be done in excess as well as gluttony.  There is a period of time when I am angry or upset, I do not eat or drink anything.  I have lost a lot of weight this year by drinking fluids.  I am beginning to realize that it only takes one thought that could lead to a possible relapse.  This is all it takes is one thought, and you will be off to the races all over again in active addiction. 

Before that takes place, I have sense to call my AA Sponsor and talk to him about my concerns.  I have a network of friends, who are in recovery that I can talk to all of the time.  I will also admit that I always have a positive attitude every day of the week.  My heart and mind has been pure for over 4 years now.  I am a brand new creature in Christ Jesus.  I have been clean and sober from alcohol and marijuana for the past 29 years now.  My mother was very proud of me when I became clean and sober. 

Finally, I want to say that I love all of you very much.  My disposition has changed dramatically since February 15, 2015.  I am sharing God’s message with everyone.  Please continue to keep me in your prayers because I suffer from multiple health problems.

You cannot stop the rain!!

        Hello, Everyone!! How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform all of you that I am writing about the subject called: You cannot stop the rain.  Colossians 3:25 says in the King James Version; but he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.  You cannot stop the rain is a metaphor.  A metaphor is an implied comparison.

        This has a whole lot to do with the judgment that we are about to receive in the near future.  First, I want to say that I am guilty of using foul language towards others.  I am guilty of committing crimes as well.  We are not saints.  The point is that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines. 

        This means that I am relying on a power that is greater than myself, which can restore me to sanity.  The definition of the word sanity means to have a clear conscious, or to become suitable and proper in making judgment.

        Next, I want to inform everyone that our bodies as well as the air that we breathe does not belong to us.  Ecclesiastes 12:7 says then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the Spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

        You cannot stop the rain because we are responsible for our own behavior while we live.  Moreover, I am saying that all of us are held accountable for our personal behavior.  You cannot stop the rain literally because it waters the earth.  The rain that I am referring to is God’s wrath upon man.  Remember one thing, God has the last word.  The only thing that we can do, while God is talking to us is simply be quiet.  You cannot stop the rain when it comes because it has a purpose in life just like our human existence.

        In essence, this is a writing exercise because it gives me an opportunity to receive feedback.  I am not trying to preach to anyone.  I am sending a message that the Son of Man is coming back very soon.  We must prepare ourselves in advance.

        Matthew 12:36-37 says: But I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment.  (37.) For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.  You are not able to stop the rain because God is evaluating all living things.  Mankind will be held accountable for our speech, works, and is we are inside of the Lambs Book of Life.

        Acts 2:38 says: Then Peter said unto them, repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  You cannot stop the rain when it comes because it is time to repent of all of our sins.  It is time to get in right standings with God.  I want to inform all of you that God is watching all of us from His Throne in heaven.  You cannot stop the rain when it comes because we need to prepare ourselves in advance.

        I pray that all of us will be saved.  I am only flesh and clay out of the ground.  God even knows how long we shall live on earth.  God knows everything in advance about all of us.  In Addition, you cannot stop the rain in many ways because it will come when we least expect it.  For me personally, I have been clean and sober for the past 29 years now.  I asked God to remove the desire from me to drink and smoke and He did.

        The rain that I am also referring to is the latter rain.  It is a community of believers, who are sharing God’s message to all people.  This community of people are responsible for being an example to everyone else.  You cannot stop the rain because it is going to come; no matter if we are prepared or not.  I am doing my very best to save those who are lost, the spiritually blinded people, double minded people, and baptizing others in the name of the Father, Son, and The Holy Ghost.

        Romans 10:9-10: 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. (10.) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  As soon as the rain comes, man cannot control it.  I am doing my best to govern my own behavior because I know better than to use vulgarity in any state, fashion or form.

        Ephesians 4:29 says: Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good for the use of edifying that it may minister grace unto the hearers.  When it comes to the Lord, I am no different than anyone else.  I will be judged according to my works, and what I have done for Kingdom of God.  This means that I have to become an imitator of Christ Jesus.  I cannot son whatsoever.  I cannot listen to secular music as well.

        You cannot stop the rain, nor control it when it comes.  There is two types of rain. First, the latter rain, and second, the physical rain that waters the earth.  There is a third kind of rain that will come and that is rain consisting of fire coming from the sky.  The end is coming very fast.  I would like for everyone including myself to get prepared to meet God.  I love all of you very much.  I am concerned about all of you.

        Philippians 2:9-11 says: Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name. (10.) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven and things in earth, and things under the earth. (11.) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.  You cannot stop the rain when Jesus Christ comes back to the earth for the second time.  Are you ready for Jesus to meet and dine with you?

        Isaiah 43:10 says: Ye are my witnesses saith the Lord and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.  This means that we are His witnesses and servants to whom God has chosen to his goodwill.  In contemporary times, we are God’s and His Temple.

Thank you for reading my essay!!

The Meaning of James 5:19-20, and how it applies to others.

    First, I want to say that I have been losing friends as of late simply because of what I have been writing lately.  I sure did not realize that what is inside of the Bible really offends others.  There are certain subjects that I am trying to discuss with the general public, and suddenly I end of getting the worse end of things.

        Second, I would like to expound on the meaning of James 5:19-20.  I want to inform all of you that if anyone of my fellow colleagues and family members err from the truth, I am supposed to help them in a spirit of gentleness.  However, I have to say that we all sin.  There are times when I get hurt in one way or another.  I want to be frank that I am supposed to help everyone that is in need.  I try not to get tripped up in any way by others.  It is that I am trying to make an impact for Jesus Christ.

        Galatians 6:1 and James 5:19-20 goes hand in hand to me personally because it all about helping my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.  I know that I am not perfect, but I am imitating Jesus Christ with my behavior.

        Third, I want to say that it is about restoring lives and improving our communities.  I want to apologize for my actions if I have offended anyone with the information that I am sharing with people.  I am very sorry if I have hurt you with sharing the truth.  The message that I am conveying is coming right out of the Bible. 

        I am only saying that everything is right out of the Bible.  I am realizing that our communities are inundated with many forms of immorality that it is a shame.  I am making a difference because I am doing my very best to stop using vulgarity and getting upset over things that are trivial to me.  If I am losing friends, then, these individuals did not know me or love me in any way.  I am not going to stop loving others.  Whatever the Lord put inside of my heart through the use of the Holy Spirit, I have to share it with the public.

I would like to say that I am not better than the next person because I have faults and weaknesses just like everyone else.  At least, I can admit when I am wrong.  I can apologize for my mistakes because there are many mistakes that I have made in my life.  When it comes to these Bible verses, I can say that I am trying to clean up my side of the street.  I would like for everyone to meditate on these Bible verses because it is obtained right out of the Good Book. 

Fourth, I would like to read the Bible verses because this is the truth.  I am supposed to love everyone until I pass away.  I know that even though James 5:19-20 specifically states that I am look out for anyone who errs from the truth and help them in the name of Jesus Christ.  I am striving for spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection.  If any of you are in need, please do not be afraid to speak to me.  If I can help you that is fine.  Therefore, I do not have anything to hide from anyone on earth.  If I cannot hide from God, why should I hide from anyone else?  I am calling a spade a spade and it is coming right out of the Bible.  I love you very much.  Even if a person does not love me back, I am doing my job for Christ Jesus.  Thank You Very Much!!

Job 33:14-16 And What It Means To All People!!

        Job’s Interpretation is very simple and easy.  It is apparent to all of us that God may speak in one way or another, and we are not aware of it.  Sometimes, it in my case, I will admit that I have been going to bed angry because of what has happen earlier during the day.  It hurts me to have these feelings stored inside of my conscious mind.  There are times when things, such as depression that prevents some people from hearing God’s voice.

        This is the reason why God is working indirectly with me because I have been hearing voices that are not the Holy Spirit.  This is simply because a certain person, or a group of people were responsible for hurting me in some kind of way.  In my dreams, I have been hearing voices of men and women, who scammed me out of a large sum of money.  My instructions are positive in nature.  It is God who is responsible for directing my steps.

        I am a person who is very kind and humble in by nature.  However, according to Ephesians 6:12 says For we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness of this age as well as spiritual host of wickedness inside of the heavenly places.  This means that mankind are not my enemies.  There are times that people have resentments and unresolved issues with each other, but we are supposed to work things out in a positive manner.

        Back to the Bible verses at hand, I try my best to maintain good behavior and become Christ Like. In Ephesians 5:1 it states that we are supposed to be imitators of Christ Jesus as beloved children.  I have been in shock since yesterday because I almost got hit by a vehicle yesterday 8/25/2019 at 1:10PM.  I was walking across the street and I had the right of way.  Suddenly, a grey SUV came very close to hitting me and my friend.  I was located on Salem Avenue and Free Pike in Dayton, Ohio when the incident took place.  I was in a state of shock and very angry at the same time.

        I am very sorry for jumping off topic, but I am still hurt and afraid to walk across the street inside of my own hometown.  Anyway, I would like for all of you to please pray for me because I really do not feel safe right now.  This is the reason why I recite the Serenity Prayer all of the time.  It is that God talks to everyone while they are sleeping and He gives us our instructions for the next day.

 I know that a some people do not believe that God gives us instructions either inside of our sleep or in our daily walk in life.  I will admit that I might get angry, but I do not act on it.  This is one of the reasons why I am very careful about what I am saying and thinking all of the time.  I tend to think before I act on any behavior.  Therefore, I am proactive rather than reactive.

        It is apparent to all of us that we have emotions that we are supposed to control.  When we lose control of our emotions, this means that we really feel very bad after the fact.  This is the reason why I need continued prayer because I do not want God angry with me about the things that I do behaviorally.  I need Him to continue to give me instructions on how to behave like a person who has common sense.  I also will admit that I have been responding to internal stimuli for some apparent reason or another.  Please pray for me to completely change my behavior for the better.  Thank you for reading my essay.

Sincerely,

Anthony Joseph Hopkins
