Good Blessed morning. It's been a while since I last posted. I've been very busy working on myself and my personal relationship with God. I find it more and more important to focus on Christ in my life every day. Lately I've been rewatching The Chosen. The biggest message so far that I have learned is how FAITH is an integral part of the relationship with our Lord. For without FAITH we cannot be healed, nor truly understand God's Word. The stronger our FAITH the stronger our SPIRIT becomes, the stronger our soul becomes and the stronger we become over our flesh. On another note, I have been feeling a strong desire to teach. Which has surprised me. For many years I have been a mentor in my profession. But, I never saw myself as a teacher let alone teaching the Word of God. After talking with my church elders, I decided to become a Spiritual Personal Trainer. This is a program we have for people have recently been saved or for anyone who wishes to grow in their faith. It's a five part series of lessons to help people understand who they are in Christ. The program is based off of Andy Womack's 48 lesson on discipleship. This is a free PDF which you can download from: https://www.awmi.net/ I encourage everyone to check it out. It is worth it. God Bless you all.

Hello all you blessed people! Well, what a month Feb was and last couple of weeks. All through Feb and the last two weeks have been medical appointments. Not to mention the huge spiritual battle I have been going through. Still going through but not so much. CHrist is LORD. Through daily prayer and faith I am prevailing. Talked with pastor on going and he is also helping with his guidance. I get much strength from just attending church, worship and my serving duties at the church. When you feel down or are in a spiritual battle, read the Word more. Pray more. LEAN ON YOUR FAITH MORE. Attend church as often as you possibly can, Worship often, and talk to a pastor or another brother or sister in Christ. Do not forego fellowship! Do not pull into yourself. CHRIST WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU STRENGTH to get through and overcome. God Bless!

Who am I? I'm no body. I am simply a man who Loves Christ. My posts are to share my journey as I grow closer to Him. He who is the GREATEST above them all. I want to ENCOURAGE you with my story as it comes out. As you have noticed I like many others have good times and recently very bad times. I encourage YOU to share YOUR testimonies as they happen. Share as God shows His love, grace, mercy in your life. How The Blood of Jesus has covered you personally. I take no pride in my sins I am laying out. It is simply to show, we as Christians need have NO shame of our failures. It is a TESTIMONY to Gods/Jesus ever lasting love, grace and mercy He has FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE of us. May God poor His blessing out on your lives and the lives of your loved ones so others may SEE His light in YOU! I too get bless by knowing your journey. God Bless

I have been under sever attack from the enemy recently. I committed sin and am now being blackmailed for it. I immediately turned to God repented and asked for forgiveness, praised the Lord for His mercy and Gracy acknowledging His sacrifice covered ALL my sins, past, present AND future. Least we forget. Though ALL our sins are forgiven, we all still subject to the flesh, but as our faith grows stronger with our relationship with God we succumb to those temptations less and less as we allow the Holy Spirit to control our lives more. Prais the Lord. I then immediately took it to my pastor. AS I told him, "A wicked man shall hide his inequities from the light, a righteous man seeks the light." Me? I am running full tilt into the light for I have nothing to hide. And I didn't want them to be sideswiped by something that they may begin to hear about in the congregation. I told them I am submitting to their authority as the leaders of the Church as they submit their authority to Christ. They have informed me NOT to worry about it. They will deal with it and will I please stay and continue to minister. I have agreed. I tell you this, to let you know, like Jacob God's grace and mercy WILL NEVER leave you breathren. For no matter WHAT you have done, or may do, Repent, ask for forgiveness even though you have already been given that, praise Him for his ever last love, grace and mercy. RUN INTO THE LIGHT and do NOT be ashamed nor embarrassed. God Bless you ALL! P.S. I have also forgiven this person and prayed for them to be saved by the Grace of God

Proverbs 21:26 New American Standard Bible 1995 26 All day long he is craving, While the righteous gives and does not hold back. Proverbs 21:29 New American Standard Bible 1995 29 A wicked man [a]displays a bold face, But as for the upright, he makes his way sure. We as leaders amongst us must STRIVE to be upright on a daily basis. Give considered thought to all we do and say, also ensure we are scripturally sound. God Bless

I am asking a serious question here. And I pray for honest input. I am 60yrs old. I have met a young lady who is 25 yrs younger than myself. She is everything I ever wanted in a companion. She and I have been talking and getting to know each other for quite awhile now. And I seriously mean we are just talking. She has professed her love for me and quite frankly I am in love with her. She knows I am not rich, and I have medical issues. She doesn't care. She has been there for me during a couple of rough periods. But I am seriously considering moving forward with her. I am at peace in my heart with it and I have prayed to God about it and am still at peace. I am really interested in your thoughts. God Bless

Greetings all you blessed people. The Lord is Great! Tonight, I go to candlelight service. This is a very special time for me and always has been. As a child it was one of wonder and magic. Then I grew up and it became special because of my family. We'd all gather at grandma and grandpas on Christmas Eve. So many people. Aunts and Uncles, cousins. It was such loving time for us all. Then I left home and learned about Jesus. Now Christmas is very special to me because this is the time we embrace His birth. The day He was born to come and fulfill God's promise of salvation. The gifts we give and receive are a reminder to me of the greatest gift of all, His sacrifice. I will forever be grateful for what He did for me. I will follow Him and serve Him in all of my days. May you all be blessed as much or more than I. May the Holy Spirit bring you all peace and joy to you and all your family. God Bless

Glory be to the Lord on high. I have opened my heart fully to the Lord and ever since He has been blessing me. I wasn't looking for anyone to fall in love with, but He has brought me a woman who loves the Lord as much as I do. We have so much in common its incredible. I have never met anyone like her. All we have done is talk every single day for over a month now. Is it possible to simply fall deeply in love this way?

Good day to all you blessed people!! I just wanted to take a moment and ask that God Bless all of you with peace and joy today and all days as we enter into this moment where we celebrate the birth of His Son, Jesus. The one who He gave as a final sacrifice for all of us. And thank Jesus for willingly accepting this command from His father because of His love for us. May we NEVER forget the sacrifice God made in His entirety by doing this. For God, who is The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit , took part of Himself and gave Him up as a sacrifice for us so that we may have eternal life with Him. God Bless you all!

Why do evolutionist get upset when I ask them to prove God doesn't exist? They argue I NEED to prove HE does. I simply tell them that I do not need to. They are the ones that asserted that He doesn't therefore it is their burden to prove it. I also let them know that after 60years I've had plenty of time to learn a lot about the THEORY of evolution and since there is no hard proof to prove it and I KNOW what Christ has done in my life, I choose to believe in a Living God and not a man made theory. If they choose to do so I will happily let them but will always be happy to share how God changed my life. ooof How mad they get. Sad. I pray for them. They have no way to argue with me. God Bless.

Good Morning all you blessed people. I don't know about you but I simply Love the Lord more and more every day! He is truly my inspiration and Lord of my life! I simply just want to shout it from the roof tops! I cannot believe the joy He keeps pouring into me every single day! His love is truly the greatest of all and He DESERVES our daily praise!!! May God Bless you all like He has me!!!

Good Day all you Blessed People!!! I want to share with you. I've been saved for many years. From the age of 20. But over the years I struggled. I won't go into details. But, after finding this church I am going to in March, I have learned so much of myself and my relationship with God. About 3 months ago, God showed me I was still holding back things in my life. So one day at alter call I went. It was a generic prayer for something I don't remember. I stood there shutting everything out so I could hear God. I said to Him: Lord you are the creator of all and giver of all life. I have been shown I have been holding back from You and now I bare my entire self to you. You HAVE my heart and soul. Take it ALL Lord and run my life. I want YOU to guide me in all things to YOUR Glory. And you know what? My life immediately changed on at that moment. I could feel His presence like I never did before. Things started happening that all I can call them are massive blessing on a daily basis. And recently He brought this WONDERFUL woman into my life that Loves Him as much as I do. We have everything in common. And I SEE the love in her eyes when she looks at me. We have agreed to take our time. We will get to know each other for a year before any commitments are made. Just talking and hanging out. Nothing more. We WANT to make this about LOVE and God first. Thanks for listening. I just felt I needed to share that, and the fact GOD really does BLESS US. Sometimes in the most unexpected and beautiful ways. My God Bless all of you in the same way

God is GREAT! Today I've been blessed. I was blessed with forgiveness and tolerance. At RiteAid I was stuck in line behind a couple of people at the counter arguing with the cashier. I was not thinking pleasant thoughts. The Holy Spirit intervened and corrected me. I immediately saw my problem and Thanked God right there for pointing this out to me. I then asked for His forgiveness an asked that He give them peace and resolve their problem so they may receive His blessings. I also asked for peace for the young man they were giving trouble to. I asked that God give him peace and patients with them. And immediately, pair realized they had the item they were arguing about, apologized and left. Later at the store I was checking out. The only lane open was empty with light on. No cashier. So I unloaded and waited. Pretty soon I was concerned that the lane was actually closed. Looking around the only other lanes with a light were the self-checkout. Well I had a bit of stuff so I wasn't going to load up again. I do not get paid to scan and bag the groceries land wasn't about to start. People get paid to do this. I spotted the gal by the self-check out and asked if there was anyone on this lane or did I make a mistake. Well, no I didn't and someone was coming. OK, thanked her and waited some more. 10 minutes later. Her she comes. Sour look on her face as if I interrupted her break. I pleasantly said hello, she replied with a grunt. Asked if she doing OK. No! None o' your business she snaped. I immediate started praying to God for patients and understanding. I was getting mad. I ask God to give her peace. I thanked the Lord for opportunity to show no matter what I am going to be happy and pleasant. After I bagged all my groceries cause she gave that look of 'I ain't doin' it". I paid and smiled and said I wish a very happy rest of the day and may the Lord give you peace. And left. God Blessed me with peace and happiness. I Love God and what He does in my life. I love the challenges He puts to me. I truly feel like I am growing closer to Him. May all your days be filled with blessings and joy that mine are. God Bless

The Lord is Great! Every single day I am truly BLESSED by the Lord! Just so many blessing a day we receive. Remember to thank Him every night before you to bed for them. Thank Him every morning for what He is going to do in your life and ask Him that let it be His day and all you do be blessed to glorify Him. He WILL answer that prayer on a daily basis. God Bless all!

Good morning all you wonderful people! God is great! God answers prayers! Today is one I am especially grateful for. I still have my mom. I lost pop 8 years ago and I still miss him very much. He was my hero, friend, and confidant. Today I celebrate this season with my mother whom I owe much to. She challenged me when I was young and still does. She taught me to be compassionate but tough as nails. To stand against the norm of the world and remain true to myself. We all need to be thankful for the ones in our lives then and now. To friends new and old. To always put God before us in all we say and do. For He is the only way to a truly happy life. Even when we go through those tough times, He is there, guiding us and protecting us, but teaching us and allowing us to stumble so we may grow. I am thankful all this and so much more. May all your days be as blessed as mine! God Bless

Good Morning you happy folk! God IS Great!! Every morning I get up excited for the new day! I sit down in my office/study chair, and I pray. I pray for His guidance in all the things I do today and to do them for His glory, not mine! I pray for understanding His word as I go through it to complete my project, the comprehensive course on how to study the Bible. Then I begin. I have completed so much already. The words, concepts, and ideas are just flowing! I explain not only the how but the WHY of doing the things I am showing you. Unlike any other course I have seen. I use SCRITPURE itself as an example. Not theory. I got so frustrated as I watched and read so many guides. No one explained the reasoning for looking at different things. Or why I need to do it in a certain way. They also throw a lot at you in a short time. How does anyone walk away feeling confident they can study the word of God in a meaningful way? I don't know. I for one have struggled with this for many years. I have gotten all sorts of answers from different people. The only agreement I ever got was you need to study the Bible. Where do you start? How do I interpret scripture? What should I look for? On, and on. No one has ever answered these questions to my satisfaction. So I got tired of being frustrated and decided I'd do something about it. After many weeks and hours of reading and watching youtube videos, I have gathered all my notes and information and now collating it all together in a packaged book. Broken down into achievable lessons, from beginning to advanced. The first posting I made was attempt one. After running it by a few people I knew I was on the right track, but it was still messy and not what I envisioned. So back to the drawing board and God. Brings me to where I am today. Hopefully, in a few more weeks, I will have something to share and will ask my pastor to review it for accuracy and truth. God Bless all of you wonderful people out there!

OK FOLKS. I have a more permanent solution. Here is the share link which will contain pdfs of the guides and books as I complete them for your review and shredding LOL. As I add more I will post about them. You might want to bookmark for the future. Cheers All! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-XVXvmnecGQqlMi7ecuuPJpvmefneE96?usp=drive_link

If you are trying to reach the google drive I posted earlier, I mucked up and in the process of fixing. Will post new link soon.

Good morning you wonderful people! The Lord is so great! I am still working on the Job Board, but, God has also put on me to build a series on Bible study and journal. See, I've struggled for years in this area. As new Christian once you come to accept Christ, everyone cheers and tells great now go learn more about Him. Ummm... OK Where do I being? So many answers and opinions. But seriously there is no real guidance at the beginning. So for me it was going to church regularly, as many Bible "study" groups as I could. Each group "studied" the Bible in different ways. Never really explaining the mechanisms behind it. Or how it related to me. As any good Christian new to Faith, I picked up the Bible and I think you all know where I started. Genesis 1:1. Great start! But soon you get bogged down it and realize this isn't really telling you anything about God and Jesus. Not true of course since it's the beginning of time and Jesus while there, isn't immediately seen. So, how does this related to me and having Jesus in my life? I continued on from Genesis to Exodus and finally Leviticus. Yikes! Found myself putting down the Bible. Soon I found I was spending no more time in the Word of God except in Bible Study and Church. Long story short, it really hurt my walk with God. Many many years passed until now. I am on fire again. Totally dedicated to God. So, being a dutiful Christian with an enormous hunger for Him, I once again got serious about studying the Word of God. Only this time I prayed first about it and had long conversations with God. I need to LEARN HOW and what to study. So, I have spent the last month doing tons of research. During this time I realized it's not only new Christian, but Christians who have been saved for many years still struggling with this. It came to me to sit down and write a series of books and guides. Not only will this reinforce my resolve, but I will be able to share everything I learn with others and help them with their struggle. See I won't just be writing these, I will be DOING it as well to help me polish the series. I will be uploading each guide and book as it is completed to my google drive and share with all of you . I will be VERY welcome and interested in you honest opinions, suggestions. Correct my errors, spelling, and grammar. Be brutal in your assessments. I have very thick skin. I want this to HONOR our Lord and uplift our brothers and sisters. God Bless and thank you for taking the time to read through this post. Cheers!

HoooRAH!!! In Feb 22 weighed 299 lbs. This really means I was bouncing between 299 and 305 lbs. We all bounce. After the heart attack, I swore I'd lose the weight. Well, here it is. This mornings weigh in: 199 !!!!!!!! I will still keep striving to hit a recommended weight for my age and height. All Things Are Possible when God is involved. Praise The Lord!!

Greetings all. It's been a while since I last posted. I've been extremely busy. God is moving in a mighty way in my life. I am now at 202 lbs, praise the Lord. I am finally getting organized. Been a hard focus of mine since I know God is a God of order not chaos. It only makes sense I follow Him in all things. I've been researching on how to study the bible. See I think this is a real failing in churches. They get people to accept Jesus into their lives and then expect them to figure things out on their own. I think that is one reason I struggled for so many years and ended up ignoring Christ. Now that I am refocused and do not have the distraction of working full time and a nagging wife, I can figure things out. I've learned about the H.E.A.R method and will be applying that. I am also trying to figure out a Color Coding Highlight system. So, if you use one I would surely like it if you could share it with me. Additionally I have also learned about doing Miscellanies instead of having to try and shove notes into the margins of my Bible. I also decided to use a similar method for my studies. For Miscellanies I use M001 etc. For studies I use S001 etc. Instead of using a Journal for theses I decided to use Obisdian. A Free note taking application. It's rather unique and robust. I can then later printer my pages and put into a notebook if I choose. Anyway I have been filled with UTTER Joy for weeks now. Everyone comments and the change in me. They see color back in my face. They see the Joy in me and my Love For Jesus. That means a lot to me because that means others outside the church also see Him in me! I would love to start conversing with you folks. Hear about your walk with Jesus. That's what fellow shipping is all about in my humble opinion. To not only be there in our bad times, but to be there to celebrate our good times as well. God Bless each and every one of you.

The Lord Is Great! Good Sunday to you all! Isn't the Lord wonderful? He has shown me that He LOVES each and everyone on this planet. That His heart is breaking over those who have turned away from Him. His love is so great that He gave His only Son as a sacrifice for us. Yet, there are so many who reject that sacrifice. He wants us that believe in Him to continue to show the world His love in our lives. To show and tell others about His plan for us. That EACH and everyone on this planet He has a plan for. What that plan is will only be shown once they have turned back and accept Jesus as their savior. I am 60 years old and it took this long for God to show me His plan for my life. Everything leading up to now has been for me to learn and grow in knowledge and experience. To learn that God IS THE ONLY WAY. Even though I was saved many years ago, I fell behind. I walked away, but He never did. He was always right there waiting for me to turn around. He NEVER LEFT ME! I have a purpose now. And I have a job to do for Him! May God give me the strength and stamina to complete His work. Please, I implore you to Give ALL of yourself over to Him. For then you will know His purpose for you. God Bless. 😇
