Patience is a trying path

Patience is a trying path , a road to break all selfishness pride fear and doubt. waters rise opposition comes and it goes . we build up walls and we tear them down just to build again. surrender takes us into a strong tower a true refuge and fortress, the flesh fights and wars wanting to lean upon its own understanding and fight in human strength. Gods Grace is sufficient and His strength is perfected in weakness, we pray and pray, but why stay the same when change is readily available ? oh if we would fall to our knees and really pray and really whole heartedly seek the Face of the Lord He would pour out His spirit.  A touch from the Mighty Hand of God makes all things new, open your heart and let God have it all , some have let Him in but keep Him out of certain areas of their lives . spiritual growth freezes and is hindered when you ignore Gods voice , whatever it is let God take it and have it all. every thing that you have tried to change Only God Almighty can change and transform. the More you know Him the more you will trust in Him, if you would let Him truly lead every area of your life then you would walk in the fullness of His will. there comes a time when you have to take your hands off and let go and let God work . as a kid riding a bike with no hands may have seemed very scary at first even uncomfortable but when you let go and have the right balance you find that you can do it without your hands steering and guiding. try it let go surrender don't use your hands your strength or your understanding let God steer guide and direct your life and then you will find the right balance.

Let the drugs die ! And let the people live !

let the drugs die and let the people live , too many lives have been take captive turned into prisoners of bondage ,some still fighting some no longer here. broken hearts homes and families ripped and torn by this devastation . drugs are no respector of persons they are not racist drugs have a mission from a very real enemy who is out to steal kill and destroy . Annoyed no Im beyond that Im sick o...f seeing the devil killing people with overdose. while drug dealers may be the source of supply the dealers are driven by the devil himself , for the love of money they kill and destroy rip apart and devour families. street level dealers and big dogs from other cities invade and prey on the vulnerable . where did it start we know it was with the doctors handing out un necessary amounts of pain killers , doctors legal drug dealers getting away with death , the court system serves no real justice only punishing the dealer who sold the dope that killed, the doctor as well should be held accountable . doctors were once a trusted physician how did they become so blind, you cant tell me that these doctors cannot tell the difference between patients who are addicted and those who are not. the doctors have betrayed the patients for $$$ turning them into customers . stop and look how many pharmacy's Monroe has . why does such a small town need so many pharmacy's . the system is full of Hypocrites who come off as having compassionate sincere concern, sadly they care more for the dollar . stop building new pharmacy's matter fact fire the drug dealing doctors who have betrayed they're position as a physician and turned patients into customers. close some of these pharmacy's and open more rehabs, give Monroe a real rehab, harbor light is a joke. LET THE DRUGS DIE AND LET THE PEOPLE LIVE. the time to take this epidemic serious is now , from Monroe to the surrounding cities join forces and evict every drug dealer including doctors and open a real rehab to help the addicts.

Love fights

Love swims against the current of life's fears. fear and worry try to paralyze one from moving forward. worry and fear can be hard to let go of sometimes. last night my friend Rob put it like this he said look at it like letting go of the side of the pool when we were little . ya gotta let go before you can know if you can swim without the side holding you . much like our journey now we gotta walk... by faith not by sight. and not let fears and worry hold us back , no matter what the circumstances look like. it may be a challenging journey but its not impossible.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Love doesn't hide it stays and fights it goes the distance thats why love is so strong and carry's you home.

just writing my thoughts today

In life people try to hide things that they are ashamed of . Nothing is ever Hidden from God . in school did you ever have a friend who you really liked and cherished their friendship but when it came to the public in front of popular crowds you tried to hide that friendship maybe not because you were ashamed but because you just didn't want the drama? part of standing up is part of being loyal an...d taking the heat fighting through the opposition and continuing to move forward. I remember getting in fights in school defending those who were mistreated. still to this day I will defend those who are mistreated or judged by outward appearance . only thing different is Im saved and my fight doesn't result in throwing punches. stand up for your friends and never be ashamed

If silence could speak

If silence could speak people would hear too much and say that's Heavy, how do you bare so much . silence does speak but a busy world cannot hear , nor can a busy world see . does a busy world care ? yeah selfishly centered on self for selfish gain. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? The commission was to Go many forgot. feet that don't move , hands that don't reach ears that wont hear eyes that cannot see.

Grace

many tend to have a one sided view of Grace. most would say Grace covers when we repent confess and forsake sin, and Grace brings us to Justification, when we are Justified we are made right in the sight of God we become so clean by His work that its just as if we never sinned. here is the view most don't acknowledge, Grace is a powerful thing, Grace empowers us to be more than conquerors Grace em...powers us to be overcomers Grace empowers us to be selfless Grace empowers us to persevere and endure and depart from ungodliness. Grace empowers us to do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Grace empowers us to be christlike and walk in obedience and Grace empowers us to resist the devil and be strong enough to resist temptation. and its for this reason Paul said receive not the Grace of God in vain. are we yet perfected ? no we are more flawed than we confess. it was for this reason paul said I press toward the mark for the prize of the High calling of God in Christ Jesus. our pursuit should be forward the path straight and narrow, we should have fruit that reveals evidence of Growth there should be progress in our growth. when we put off the old man and put on Christ we put on the garment of His righteousness. Job who was more upright than you and I both repented in dust and ashes. think for a second here when you first came to Christ did you repent with perfect repentance ? no none of us did ! 2 peter 3:18 instructs us to grow in Grace and in the KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST TO HIM BE GLORY BOTH NOW AND FOREVER AMEN ! Growing in Grace doesn't mean continuing in sin aka habitually practicing a lifestyle of sin but rather overcoming by the blood of the Lamb. Growing in Grace doesn't mean that we wont fall short because we will, growing in Grace should evidence growing in repentance resulting in separation of sin and pursuing Holiness in Christ alone . your deceived if you think that you are already perfected and live a perfect life.
