Proverbs 25:21-22, And What it Means to All People!!

 

Proverbs 25:21-22: and What it Means to all People!!  By Anthony Joseph Hopkins December 4, 2021

       Good Day Everyone!!  My name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I am from Dayton, Ohio.  I am writing this essay because it means a whole lot to me.  I remember during the 1970s and 1980s, I used to have a lot of enemies.  I used to have enemies because I used to be involved in street gangs.  I used to be apathetic.  I did not care about myself or other people. 



       Next, I used to be a person who did not care about myself.  I had enemies that were living right across the alley from me as a child.  I cannot mention their names because I can get into trouble.  I want to inform all of you that I had enemies in my own family.  Matthew 10:36 says that a man’s own enemies will be from his own household.  I really believe it because as a person’s family grows, family members tend to clash over petty things.



 When I was living in Toledo, Ohio my enemies lived right across the street from me.  I was not afraid of them.  Its that, I did not want to get into trouble anymore.  I told them that I used to be involved in street gangs for 11 years.

 

 Whenever my so-called enemies come over to my apartment, I give them whatever they want.  It is true that God is with me always and forever.  This bible verses are true.  It is true because I do not have to get into trouble anymore.  I am allowing God to do all of the work for me. 

Further, I want to say that everything that is inside of the Bible is very true to me, and everyone else.  Anyway, I used to be involved in street gangs because I needed protection from all of my enemies.  Some of my enemies did not know that I was in a street gang.  My enemies were shocked because there was too much bloodshed.

Moreover, I used to help my enemies in school by doing their homework for them.  I used to get all of the answers right 95% of the time.  Every time I did homework for my gang peers and enemies, I used to see them smile and then cry because they have never earned As and Bs on their report card.  I want to inform all of you that I have not been involved in street gang activities in over 32 years. 

Finally, I want to inform everyone that every single time I used to get into trouble, I started crying because I did not like to get into trouble.  I have been clean and sober from marijuana since January of 1990.  I have not drunk any beer since Wednesday May 2, 1990.  I feel really good about myself right now because I do not like to argue with anyone.  Some of my friends still ask me to do things for them.  Such as uploading music on a Mp3 Player from specific websites such as DatPiff. Com and other websites.

 Some of my friends would prefer me to do the work for them.  I keep telling my friends that a computer is very easy to use.  Whatever you put inside of a computer, it is what you get out of it.  I have been using computers for over 30 years now.  I am not afraid of man or a computer.  I have been a Born-Again Christian for going on 7 years now.

Have You Ever Wrestled with God

Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that the Man of God Wrestled with Jacob?        I have a very important question to ask everyone right now.  Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that Jacob wrestled with the Man of God?  I am asking this question because I had a flashback recently.  It happened in 1974 when I got into a fist fight with a 15-year-old boy.  We got into a fist fight over a black fisted pick that people used to comb their hair.  I fought this boy because he threatened my manhood over something that he could have purchased for himself.               Next, I fought with this boy because he threatened me with violence.  I might have been younger, but that poor brother was limping after I got finished with him.  He got away on his bike.  I want to inform all of you that this boy was 6 years older than me.  I want to say that I might not have wre...

Matthew 5:23-24

Matthew 5:23-24!! What does this means to all people?         Good Day Everyone!! This is an essay that pertains to the Beatitudes inside of Matthew 5 th -7 th  Chapters.  I have selected two of the Bible verses just to place emphasis.  First, I want to say that this is not very easy for some people to apologize to another person, especially after you have done something wrong to that person.  For me personally, I want to inform all of you that my baby brother called me a homosexual because I am responsible for paying my other brother and a friend’s phone bill each month.  I understand that my brother called me out of my name without just cause.         Next, I want to inform everyone that my brother was out of line for calling me out of my name.  I have confronted him about the problem, but he refuses to reconcile.  Therefore, I am praying for him each and every single day of the we...

God is Watching All of US

    God is watching all of us!!   I know for myself that God has been watching me because He is solely responsible for waking me up this morning.  He watches me because I know that I am not able to get away with anything that I am doing wrong throughout my entire 60 years of existence. Next, I want to inform everyone that I have been a Born Again Christian for 10 years now.  I will admit that I have had my moments when I have acted out by using words that does not make sense.  Lord God, I am asking You; to please forgive me of all of my sins both past and present.  This also includes any sins that I am thinking about inside of my mind, as well as any besetting sins that I have presently. Good Afternoon Lord Jesus!!  How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform you that I am only a Work in Progress.  The reason why I am saying this is simply because I am not perfect.  I am asking you to please bridle my tongue; so t...
