Psalms 94:11 And What It Means To All People? By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins                 Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to ask everyone a very important question.  Does the Lord knows the thoughts of man?  The answer is yes!! God knows all things in advance.  Psalms 94:11 says The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.  This is inside of the King James Version of the Bible.  Frankly, I want to say that God knows the things that we are going to do long before it takes place.  What I would like to do is have the Word of God to impact my mind, and my thinking.         Next, I want to say that I need the Lord to allow me to feed on the Word of God.  In the middle of trouble, I need to feed on the Word of God at all times.  I really feel at this time that I am inside of the Lord’s Hands...

What Does Colossians 4:2 Mean?         Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform all of you that I really love this Bible verse.  It is something that I am supposed to do each day of my life.  I am a whole lot happier right now than in the past.  I am spending quality time in prayer to my personal Savior Jesus Christ.  I am always willing to consult with Jesus Christ more than with people.  As soon as I read His Word, it talks to me.             Next, I want to inform everyone that we are supposed to be aware of who we are talking to.  I know that Satan is very busy.  I am saying this because I was distracted for 10 years now.  The voices that I hear are those of demonic spirits.  This is the reason why I feel that Jesus Christ is working with me indirectly because of the interference of the evil one.  I know that...

What Does Matthew 5:44 Mean?    By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins         Good Day Everyone!! How are all of you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I have a question to ask all of you.  What does Matthew 5:44 Mean?  First, I want to say that I used to have a problem with this Bible verse.  I used to be the type of person who used to retaliate on my enemies.  I used to retaliate verbally and nonverbally to my enemies for a very long period of time.  I had a real bad attitude towards the people who have wronged me in the past.           Second, I want to inform everyone that it is not easy to deal with enemies.  The enemies that I am currently dealing with are not flesh and blood.  My enemies that I am dealing with are principalities and powers.  I have been hearing voices that are not the Holy Spirit for the past 10 years now.  Even though I have made peace with ...

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 wheneve...

What is Creationism?         This is an essay that pertains to the word creationism.  What is the definition of the word creationism? Creationism is  the belief that the universe and living organisms originate from specific acts of divine creation, as in the biblical account, rather than by natural processes such as evolution.  It  also pertains how man, woman, and beast came into existence.  For example, in the Book of Genesis, it specifically states that God formed man from the dust of the ground, and He also breathed into the nostrils of man, and man came into existence.           Therefore, the air that we breathe does not belong to us.  Whereas, woman is derived from man.  This means that God is responsible for creating woman from man’s womb.  Early on, God stated that man should be made in His image.  Man and Woman are in the same image of God.  It was spoke...

Good Day!! My name is Anthony H. and I am a grateful recovering alcoholic.  I would like to share my experience, strength, and hope regarding Sponsorship.  First of all, I would like to say that having a sponsor is the first and foremost when it comes to communication with other members.  For me personally, I was court ordered into the fellowship by the Dayton, Ohio Montgomery Common Pleas Courts simply because I committed drug related crimes.  I also had a mental illness as well.  To be honest with all of you, having a sponsor is a person who is capable of assisting me and giving me advice; while in the program.  I know that my very first sponsor and I got into a fist fight because he was too demanding.  He really did not know how to be a sponsor and he got mad at me because I was in the streets too much for him.  Even though, I had completed the 12 Steps, I was a person who was a follower of the streets.  I was transitioning out of the stre...

Reconciliation and Forgiveness with God, Ourselves and with Others!!           This is a very special essay concerning the importance of reconciliation and forgiveness with God, ourselves, and with others.  The first thing that I want to say is that God has never left us or forsaken us.  Perhaps, we might have forsaken ourselves at times in our personal lives.  I say this because I used to be a person who did not believe anything, unless I see it with my own eyes.  Secondly, God is not mad at you.  He is mad about you.  God wants us in His family.  He really wants us in heaven with Him.            Further, God forgives us because He loved us.  Forgiveness does not equal reconciliation.  Reconciliation takes two people.  For instance, our relationship with God is very important to us....

The Word of The Lord is as sweet as Honey!!             I would like to start this essay by asking a very important question.  Do you think that the Word of God taste as sweet as honey?  The answer is yes!!  According to Jeremiah 15:16 it says that  when your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty.   When I think of this Bible verse, The Word of God is very refreshing.  I also gives me freedom and truth.  I really enjoy God’s word every day of my life.              Further, I want to tell everyone that God is Love.  God has changed me for the better.  I really do not like to use any vulgarity or engage in any behaviors of my past.  The Holy Spirit is inside of me.  I have been born again on 2/15/2015 at Fort McKinley Church in Dayton, Ohio....

What is the Difference between a Soul and The Holy Spirit?  This is a comparison and contrast essay that is based on two definitions.  First, what is the definition of the word soul?  The definition of the word soul is an entity which is regarded as being the immortal or spiritual part of the person, and though having no physical or material reality, and is credited with the functions of thinking and willing; hence, determining all behavior.  Another definition of the word soul is the moral or emotional nature of a human being.  Second, the definition of the word spirit will be emphasized right now.  A spirit is the life principle, especially in human beings; originally regarded as inherent in the breath or as infused by a deity.  Your soul is your mind and body.  Your soul also consists of emotions as well.  Everything comes from your spirit.    The definition of the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God; specifically the third person o...

Good Morning Everyone!!  I want to inform all of you that I suffer from Type 2 Diabetes Full Blown.  Therefore, I am in the advance stages of my disease.  I know that this is my first time taking metformin 500mg medication.  I know that this is not very easy to talk about because I am having nerve pain right now.  My family members and friends had informed me that it would get worse for me. I'm having skin problems as well as stress that is very high at the moment.  I want to say that my health insurance did not approve me for the medication metformin.  I already know the side affects of taking metformin in advance.  I am the only one in my family members that are taking medicine for diabetes.  Of I die from this dreadful disease it would be all my fault.

Good Morning Sir!  You are absolutely right.  I am going to focus on the positive; rather than dwelling on what is negative all of the time.   I do have a lot of resilience and you are right.  My friends constantly tell me that I am placing too much emphasis on capturing these people who have scammed me out of money.   Let's focus on what is good inside of this world.   I am losing my memory and vision right now.   I cannot focus on negativity all the time.  You will have to help me to take my mind out of the gutter.   My mother used to tell me that I should have been setting boundaries with myself and everyone else.   Let's focus on what is good for mankind.   I am dwelling too much about putting an end to oppression worldwide 🌐.   I need to allow God to resolve this issue for me.   Sir, I am very sorry for causing so much pain towards myself and other people.   I gu...

Is It True That God Knows Our Steps? This is a rhetorical question that I would like to ask everyone right now.  According to Job 34:21, it states as follows; for His eyes are on the ways of man, and he sees all of his steps.  This Bible verse proves that God orders our steps.  Frankly, God sees all things both good and bad when it comes to man. Next, when it comes to Proverbs 16:9 it says a man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord direct his steps.  A man’s heart will not be like God.  Even man’s thoughts are not like God’s.  In Isaiah 55:8 says for my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways says the Lord. Moreover, I would like to emphasize that I will have to pray and ask God for wisdom and discernment.  Additionally, I would like to say that in Jeremiah 10:23 says O Lord I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.  This means that God has a plan for all of us.  Man cannot d...

In the Bible, the concept of "our human steps" is a powerful metaphor for the journey of life, faith, and moral conduct. Scripture teaches that while people make plans, God ultimately directs and establishes their steps, providing guidance, stability, and purpose along the way. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ] God directs steps A central theme is the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty over human intentions. While individuals are responsible for their decisions, trusting in God’s guidance is presented as the path to a fulfilling life. Proverbs 16:9 states, "A man's heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps". Psalm 37:23 affirms, "The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way". Jeremiah 10:23 recognizes this human limitation: "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". [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ] The path of righteousness The Bible also emphasizes...

04 September Cluttered spirits Page 258 " We try to remember that when we make amends we are doing it for ourselves. " Basic Text, p. 41 ❖ As long as we still owe amends, our spirits are cluttered with things we don't need. We're carrying the extra load of an apology owed, a resentment held, or unexpressed remorse. It's like having a messy house. We could leave so we don't have to see the mess, or maybe just step over the piles of debris and pretend they aren't there. But ignoring the disorder won't make it disappear. In the end, the dirty dishes, the crumb-filled carpet, and the overflowing wastebaskets are still there, waiting to be cleaned up. A cluttered spirit is just as hard to live with as a messy home. We always seem to be tripping over yesterday's leavings. Every time we turn around and try to go somewhere, there is something blocking our path. The more we neglect our responsibility to make amends, the more cluttered our spirits become. An...
