The Hard Years

What is a chapter of your life you would title " The Hard Years " - and what got you through it? I would say from 1986 through 1996 the hardest years of my life because I have been going from one place to another because I graduated from high school 🏫 and college as well as joining the military for a short period of time.   This was also a period of my life when I was battling active addiction as well as going from relationship to relationship with women who were battling active addiction issues themselves. Honestly, I was making bad choices by dwelling in darkness just to establish a human relationship with the opposite sex.  I was moving back and forth from Dayton, Ohio, to Toledo, Ohio just to make changes in my life by working job to job as well as achieving my personal goals by graduating from college twice at the University of Toledo.  Afterwards, I had to move back to Dayton, Ohio, because of a misunderstanding with my landlord simply because he increased my rent without just cause. I also got baptized at various churches along the way.  During that time my family was growing throughout the yearsI was establishing a relationship with God and Jesus Christ 🙏 ❤️ 🙌 .  I got to know God and Jesus Christ for myself. Thank you for allowing me to answer this question to the best of my ability.  In Jesus name Amen and Amen ❤️ 🙏 🙌 👏.

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...

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...

STEPS ARE ORDERED BY GOD

Steps ordered by God         Is it true that our steps are ordered by God?  This is a very good question.  The reason why I am asking this question is simply because I am curious.  The following Bible verses will be discussed: Jeremiah 10:23, Proverbs 20:24, Job 34:21, and Job 31:4.  First, I would like to emphasize that God does order our steps.  According to Jeremiah 10:23 says O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.  This means that it is a Power that is greater than ourselves that is actually helping us.  Second, in the Book of Proverbs in the 20 th  Chapter and the 24 th  verse which states that man’s goings are of the Lord, how can a man understand his own way?  This Bible verse is a little bit different.  A man’s goings are the steps that are ordered by God.  How can a man understand his own way?  This is a very good ...
