A House Divided Cannot Stand

A House Divided Cannot Stand           A house that is divided will not stand.   What does this mean to you personally?   According to Matthew 12:25 says: But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them; every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.   This means that if there is no unity, then it is a problem.   For example, in a dysfunctional family, people rarely speak to each other.   I can understand that in a dysfunctional family, people do not relate well with one another.             In my family, my siblings and I do not get along with each other.   The reason why my family members do not get along with me is because I have done wrong.   My family members do not believe that I have changed for the better.   I cannot afford to live in sin.   This has a lot to do with the things that I have done to my family members individually.   An example of the things that I have done wrong to my fa

The Knowledge of Self

The Knowledge of Self           I would like to start this essay off by asking a question.  What does it mean to have a knowledge of self?  The answer is the definition of the word self consists of the physical, mental, emotional, and environmental and a psychological entity that has a whole lot to do with God.  In Jeremiah 1:5 says before I formed you inside of the womb, I knew you.  I have sanctified you and ordained you as a prophet to the nations.  When it comes to our physical self, this has a whole lot to do with our body.  What the human body looks like and how we feel about ourselves personally.  When it comes to our mental self, this has an impact on universal feelings.  What we actually feel like among members of the rest of society is derived from the center of the brain called the conscious mind.            Romans 12:2 says do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  The question that you need to ask yourself is

What have the Lord Done for you lately?

What have the Lord God done for you lately?             The purpose of this essay is to ask a very important question.   What have the Lord done for you lately?   For example, God has kept me alive for 52 years.   God has given me the ability to do what is necessary for me to stay clean and sober.   The Lord God has changed my behavior for the better.   An example of what He has done is prevent me from using vulgarity on a daily basis.   God has also removed the desire from me to look at pornography each day.   Proverbs 15:1 says a soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.             Next, I want to inform all of you that God has improved my prayer life with Him.   God has improved my behavior when it comes to improving my thought life.   An example of this is whenever I hear voices that are not benevolent, I start reciting Bible verses out loud.   I still have a long way to go in my personal life.   When it comes to my prayer life, I have been fasting a

Make an Appointment with God

Make an Appointment with God!!             This is an essay about making an appointment to meet God.   We must set a time and place to meet God.   You must allow the Holy Spirit to prepare you to meet God.   Listen to whispers from God.   I will admit that I have never heard His voice in my personal life.   This is simply because I was living in sin for over 40 years.   I have attended church and I still lived in sin.   I am very hurt because I have injured others with my voice as well as my personal actions.   Currently, I would rather ask God to give me peace.   It hurts me because I have sinned for a very long time.   My own family members do not talk to me anymore.   This is because I have done so much in my personal life to hurt my family members that; they have made a decision not to speak to me anymore.   I know that God would like for my own family members to come and see me at my apartment.   Unfortunately, only a few of my family members came over just to
