Reconciliation and Forgiveness with God, Jesus Christ, Other People, and Ourselves

    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.  God’s love is supernatural. ...

Is God a God of Detail?

  Is it true that God is a God of Detail? This is a question that need to be answered by everyone. This is because God will tell you to do something one time. He will not ask you again. You must believe that God wants to speak to me. This means that if a person is having a great communication with God each and every single day, He will hear you. God will reveal everything to you at all times. In my case, I have never heard God’s voice in my entire life. God is communicating with me through other people.  God also communicates with us even while we are sleeping. For example, in the Book of Job 33:14-16 it says God communicates with you in one way or another, but man does not perceive it. Man will have to go into a deep sleep and God will put His instructions inside of our ears and seal it. We must learn how to be led by God’s Spirit. We need to have a genuine relationship with God. God’s Will is pleasing and perfect. Yes, God is a God of detail. What are we doing to become ...

What Does It Mean to Repent of Our Sins?

  What does it mean to repent of your sins?  When it comes to repenting, it is a complete turn by asking God to forgive you of everything that you have done wrong in your personal life.  Proverbs 28:13 says he that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whosoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.  I had to confess of every single thing that I have done wrong in my life.  I told God that I am sorry for being a very disrespectful little boy growing up.  I have hurt my family members and friends with all of the wrong things that I have done as a child as well as an adult.  I had to learn how to also forgive others whenever they do something wrong to me.  I had to learn how to stop taking revenge on others when they do wrong to me.  I am very sorry for all thing both past and the present.   I want to inform everyone who is reading this blog that I have completely asked God to forgive me of all of my sins that I have commi...

Matthew 10:36 From My Point of View

  Matthew 10:36 From My Own Point of View: By Anthony Joseph Hopkins May 4, 2022         Good Evening Everyone!!   How are you doing tonight?   Fine, I hope.   Matthew 10:36 says; A man’s enemies will be those of his own household.   This is the truth because it is the people, who we are familiar with that knows us very well that the Bible verse is talking about.     I will admit; my family members are not speaking to each other right now.   The reason why is because of our past with each other.   My siblings, who are younger than me,  think that I cannot beat them anymore because we have reached adulthood.   My younger brother stated to me that he can beat me up right now.   I understand that the Institution of Family has been dysfunctional for a very long time.   Next, there were incidents inside of the Bible where family members have killed each other.   For exampl...

How Do We Teach Our Children How To Obey God?

  How Do We Teach Our Children How to Obey God?         This is an essay that ask a very important question.  How do we teach our children how to obey God?  According to Deuteronomy 6:7 says: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.  This means our primary emphasis is to teach our children how to love the Lord God.         This also means that we are supposed to love the Lord with all of thy heart, soul, mind, and strength.  When it comes to teaching our children about the Bible, they learn by watching their parents.  If the parents are reading the Bible to their children, teaching their children how to pray, and taking them to church all of the time, and conducting themselves like a true Christian, then a child will never forge...

What Does It Mean to Feel Out of Place?

  What does it mean to feel out of place?             I have a very important to ask everyone.  Have any of you ever felt out of place during your life?  I have because I went to an AA Meeting a couple of weeks ago, and everyone felt appreciative and understanding.  I was very happy during the AA Big Book Study.  Whereas, two hours later, I went to an NA Meeting and no one did not speak to me and show me love whatsoever.  I really felt out of place because not too many people from AA, which is Alcoholics Anonymous attend NA Meetings.  Narcotics Anonymous is a very great Fellowship.  It is that, my AA Sponsor does not want me attending those type of meetings.  I do not understand why he would tell me not to attend NA Meetings in the first place.  I can identify with both support groups.  I will have to get another Sponsor because I really think he gave me some bad advice.  I...

Leviticus 19th Chapter and The Meaning of Things.

  Leviticus 19 th Chapter by Anthony Joseph Hopkins April 12, 2022 Leviticus 19 King James Version 19 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,   2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.   3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.   4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.       5 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, ye shall offer it at your own will.   6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.   7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.   8 Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of ...
