The Holy Spirit vs Mankind The purpose of this blog is to try to help those who understand God, and who has the Holy Spirit inside of us.  Mankind believes in the things of man.  I know that it is not very easy for any of us to understand God.  I want to inform all of you that this is a battle between good vs evil.  I would like to tell everyone that Mankind only lives in the moment.  Romans 8:9 says you, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not.  This means that God dwells inside of us.  There are those who do not believe that they have God inside of them.  Do you know that every time I type a blog, I usually start crying because it is God who is inside of me convicts me of all of my sins and forms of unrighteousness?   Romans 12:2 says do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. God is res...

What is the difference between a compliment and sarcasm? Good Morning and God Bless Everyone!! My blog is about the compliments and sarcasm.  What is the difference between a compliment and a sarcastic remark?  The answer is simple.  A compliment is a statement that enhances a person’s ability, or self-esteem.  Whereas, a sarcastic remark is sharp, mocking, and contemptuous remarks that are used to injure or hurt another person.  My primary reason for writing this blog is because there are some people who really do not know how to accept compliments.   It is a shame because any child or an adult should know the difference between giving praise and rebuke.  To be perfectly honest with everyone, all human behavior is learned.  No matter what kind of behavior it is; the behavior is learned from parents, relatives, friends, or associates.  I want to inform all of you that I got into an argument with a young lady over the Bible.  This pa...

Men, Women and being Online When it comes to being online, it is a First Amendment Right and a fantastic privilege. When it comes to men and women being online, it is best to be very honest and truthful from the very start. I do not understand why men and women are online if they are involved in a relationship with each other.  Maybe, they are seeking new friends.  I do understand that seeking new friends can be done in your own hometown.  Wherever you live, it is best that a man and woman to stay offline because it can ruin your relationship.  There are times that men and women can be very secretive when it comes to their online friends.    Men and women can be devious and sneaky because when it comes to other online friends.  For instance, a man or woman can look for someone else who is better looking than their current girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, or wife.  To be very honest, I am not involved in a relationship right now because I have an ad...

Does God hold us by our hard for guidance and direction? According to Psalms 37:23-24, it says that the Lord makes form the steps of the one who delights in Him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.  This means that God is with us all of the time.  God is there with us all of the time.  Even when we stumble, God is still with us.  I know for myself that God has been with me, even when I have stumbled.  I will admit that I have stumbled myself into a whole lot of mess.  For example, I was entangled in pornography for over 30 years.  I also used to be an alcoholic and dope addict for 18 years.  I know that it has not been very easy for me to get rid of these problems.  It takes one step at a time.  I am working on the 12 steps each and every single day. According to Jeremiah 10:23, it says I know, O Lord that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps....

Are we both teachers and students in our personal lives? This is a very special blog that pertains to the traditional roles that we portray in our lives as human beings. The primary question is we both teachers and students in our personal lives? Are we fulfilling both roles at the same time? The answer to this question is yes. Why? This is because as children we are born from the wombs of our mothers. Frankly, life begins inside of the womb as soon as conception takes place. It's that when we emerge as human creatures from the womb of our parents; we go through a process of learning. Next, a child learns a lot from his parents from guidance and direction that we receive from our parents growing up. This means that we are students first and foremost. This is because values are instilled from our parents on how to become good citizens of this country that we live. I would like to add that no matter how old we are in our lives, this means that we are still learning how to live as peo...

    Good Day Everyone!  My name is Anthony Hopkins and I am responsible for enabling other people for more than a half of a century.  I remember when I was a child, I used to help others with their homework for school.        I am getting very honest with myself and others about enabling behavior.  I have been clean and sober for 34 years now.  I rarely ask anyone else for help.     Next, I am letting all of you know that I am guilty of enabling other people.  What is the definition of enabling?  Enabling is when someone is doing something that other people can do for themselves.  At one point in my life, I was coerced by other people to do something for someone else.  The fair-weather friends that I had were using me.  My family members told me to my face that people were taking advantage of me.  At that time, I had concealed the person and the whole problem.          ...

How are all of you doing today?  I hope and pray that everyone is doing very well.  I would like to start things off by asking a very important question.  What does it mean to be inside of a trap? I am asking everyone this question because there are times that we place ourselves inside of a trap without our common knowledge.  I am bringing this up as a topic because I know that Satan is capable of snatching up spiritually inside of a trap.  The trap that pertains to Satan is called a stronghold.   I want to let everyone try to figure things out for a moment.  Have anyone ever been so stressed out that you end up doing something out of impulse? I am guilty of this myself.  I am guilty of allowing others to lure me inside of a trap.  The trap that I am talking about is called a web of deception.  There were scammers and hacker...

What is an Outcast? This is a special report on a very important issue that is going on worldwide.  The definition of an outcast is when one who is banished from a community, city, or society.  A person is an outcast when they are oppressed and treated unfairly by members of a community, city, state, country, or society.  A person is an outcast if they have been banished or kicked out of their own country.  There are times when people usually leave their own country due to war, conflict, or dictatorship.  When a person is an outcast, he or she is classified as a dissident either living in another country, or are in exile.   Exile on the other hand is when an individual goes into hiding.  For instance from the things that he or she has done.  Whenever a person is an outcast, they are living in complete total isolation.  This means that a person will have to conceal or hide themselves from the general public.  A person in many cases c...

Matthew 26:52 says:. Then Jesus said to him, Put your sword back in it's place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.  This is a metaphor for things present and things to come.  What it means that if you do harm to another person, the same thing shall happen to you in return.  This is called Karma.  You shall reap what you sow. It might not happen to you, but someone that you know personally. Next, I want you to know that God does not intend for man to die foolishly.  God wants us to examine ourselves and come back to the Lord.  For we all shall meet the Judgment Seat of Christ Jesus.  For the things that we done in the body whether good or bad.  All that I am saying is that God wants us to congregate in one setting.  I recall buying weapons of all types.  My family members and friends did not want me to bring weapons around them or their families. God would like for all of us to learn how to think before we act.  ...

A Bridge Between Sin, Transgressions, and Jesus Christ This blog is very simple. This is titled a bridge between sin, transgressions, and Jesus Christ. First, I would like to mention the definitions of sin, transgressions, and trespasses. 1. Transgressions are actions that are enormously and excessively wrong. You knew you were wrong and you did it anyway. 2. Trespasses are when saints miss the mark. This means that you are intentionally missing the mark on purpose. 3. Sin is when a person commits a mistake or an offense that is either minor or serious in nature. 4. Debt is a property and ownership; you owe something because of your actions. Sin is really you have broken a law. Sin is that you have broken a known law and the transgressions are the repercussions that come afterwards.  Next, according to John A. Studebaker, Jr; a sin is one of the greatest obstacles of the church today is this very issue. We no longer see ourselves as sinners' in need of forgiveness. Perhaps, sin use...

Online Voyeurism This is a report on a very serious problem in the industrialized world. This is called online voyeurism. What is it? Let's look at what does it mean to be online. For instance, online is not just using a computer and typing information onto a machine. Online is basically communication that is both direct and indirect. This also pertains to telecommunications. Just being on a telephone and sharing your information with the person that you are talking to is important. Online in this society means using a computer as well as anything that is web-enabled. Any device that is used as a means of communication is still classified as communication that is directly online.  On the other hand, voyeurism goes much further than that. Voyeurism violates the privacy of its citizens. This is when someone is deeply webcamming as well as going so deep into another person's life that it frightens them. Therefore, these individuals do not have anything constructive to do, but inva...

What does it mean to live inside of a changing society? What does it means to live inside of a changing society?  This is a very great question to ask because of the changes that are being made on a daily basis by city, state, and federal government.  Maybe, we need to look up the definition of the word society before I begin to expand on this particular subject.  The meaning of the word society is; the community of people living in a particular region and having shared customs, laws, and organizations.  This definition applies to all of us living inside of the planet earth.  Although, it is not very easy living inside of the United States, simply because of its political system.  Our political system consists of two chambers of government.  For instance, our political system consists of the House of Representatives and the United States Senate.  It also has a president as well as its cabinet members.  This also include the the United States ...

Were ready to ask God to remove our defects of character Step 6 Step 6 is a separation of people from themselves and others.  When it comes to this step, we will have to prepare to let go of everything that is completely bothering us.  Step 6 is like a mania, which is an object of excessive madness.  Therefore, we must ask God to remove the madness in your life.  Character defects are called sins.   God begins to work in our lives.  Our foundation has to be prepared for our situations.  These defects of character hurt us.  They have also delayed us.  Read Romans 7:14-25.  This is called struggling with sin.  Defects are the absence of something necessary or useful toward perfection.  Read Genesis 1:31 and Isaiah 59:2.  Character is its features and qualities that set you apart from others, such as unbelievers.  Your character is what people know you by.  It distinguishes who you are.

Life and Communication Life and Communication is very simple. What are we talking about here? Let's start off by asking ourselves a very important question. What is life and how it relates to communication? Life is what you really make of things while you are living in the present. Life is your existence that you possess. The air that you breathe as well as flesh that you have. Communication is the language that you speak consisting of dialects as well as methods of words that one use to speak. Your voice that comes from your mouth is used as a means of communication itself. Life and Communication are intertwined. They are go hand in hand.
