HI I am new,
Hi Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
I became a born again Christian 36 years ago, became unwisely zealous thinking I was a prophet doing all sorts of silly things due to bad teaching. Everyone then (and now) seemed to be seeking some sort of supernatural miracle and we all played into the deceivers hand by going here and there trying to obtain one. We listened to , too many tapes that I now no were from people that were outright lying about their testimonies or by people embellishing them by almost 90%
90% truth is not good enough with God only 100% truth will lead to a true blessing from him and that blessing is seldom money.
I used read the bible as chore a duty instead of as a joy that I should look forward to be doing. My aim was to read hundreds of pages a day and all that type of effort got me no were in my spiritual growth. Due to this I became fatigued and simply stopped reading God word altogether.
We ran from church to church seeking greater truths when in reality there is only one truth the lord Jesus Christ, not any fallible pastor or church congregation, only the bible and Jesus leads to joy peace love and health.
Christianity became a chore or hard work I became disillusioned because the harder I tried the further I seemed to drift from God.
I then began to compromise, take a drink here and there, use pain tablets to help me sleep, falling into depression and then into the clutches of ungodly psychiatrists who put me on benzodiazipam tranquilizers . These we great at first I could relax and sleep like a baby, but they led me into many years of hell on earth almost taking my life and my salvation away from me.
Most of you reading know a lot about the unspeakable horror of my terrible years of manic depression and make no mistake this illness is demonic in origin because it is a disease of the very spirit and mind, I know insanity..
In about 2009, I finally made up my mind to rid myself of additive drugs, even if I died in the process. What I went through in getting off this stuff was an unspeakable nightmare, an indescribable horror of God and Satan battling for my soul where I took epileptic fits, shook with fear so that I could not feed myself.
Then only after many years, I returned to my usual wise sane self again, free from depression of any kind.
MY NEW SELF
Remember I had that very close call with death last year 2011, I know now god allowed me to live to give me time to get myself right with him in the time I have left on this earth, I have absolutely no fear of death now.
Last week for the first time, I know I became really born again; I prayed one night very sincerely and told him I really want to know and love him, not on my terms but on his. I told to read Psalms 101 and 51.
From that day on, I put everything behind me and began to obey God in every way. Read the Psalms below and you will know what I mean.
Stop trying to fix your spouse , get yourself right with God and he will fill you with joy and peace and your spouse will see this improvement in you and begin to love you ore
Brothers and sisters, we cannot fix every one else, around us, we must fix ourselves first. stop compromising, start loving , stop being angry, stop watching evil, stop listening to gossip, stop lying, seek absolute truth right into your inner core, pray before you make decision , be wise think before you speak, encourage stop condemning, stop judging God is the judge, stop dominating others,
Read your bible as a joy, not as a duty to please God, soak the word up and they will become life in you,
Read the psalms randomly both slowly as a prayer and as praise.
Be still and know that I am God, then you will stop doing your own thing and begin doing Gods will
Each day ad a little more joyful obedience to Gods HOLY WORD
Each day ask yourself carefully have I lied, have I got angry, have I stolen anything. Have I spoken badly of someone, have I gossiped???????. IN ADDITION, STOP DOING IT IMMEDIATELY!
…………………………………………………………………………….. Psalm 51
51 Have mercy on me,1 O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil din your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
5 Behold, for I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a unclean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will return to you.
14 Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God,
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
build up the walls of Jerusalem;
God bless, in Jesus
