LIVING FOR GOD
Sometimes it's hard for us to understand why God allows certain things or events to take place during His Children's lives, we all go through tragedy, suffering along with everything else life throws at us. Today I call these afflictions our growing pains which I now trust my Father God will always have my back. See> (Romans 8:38-39)38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
So far, my Father God has kept His promises. But it wasn't always this way for me, you see folk's as I was growing up, I knew who God was. I just did not know Him. I knew Satan was the worst of evil for I had felt the sting of evil through as I grew up. I would run with evil often, in fact we'd even become pals up until the evil come up on me for my eternal soul. That day God's love sparked my heart which I'll explain to you all sometime soon. But I need to tell yawl it was on that day I decided to give up my pal evil. But I was still very unsure about the God folks always talked at church.
Unfortunately, I went on to live a roller coaster lifestyle between living Good and bad. There was no reason I lived that life other than I didn't care to live either way. But during all this time whenever God was mentioned I never denied Him and perhaps that's why God would use me throughout my lifetime doing different things He needed taken care of. For the most part I wasn't even aware good was using me, meaning good is God.
During my rollercoaster lifestyle God has always stuck with me and kept the promises He wrote down in His word. God used me to lead strangers to His Son Jesus. I operated sever homeless ministries by opening thrift stores called, Helpah ministries which stands for “Helping America's Homeless” but I wasn't living a Cristian lifestyle that pleased God.
I was a Christian doing God's work and serving Him. and I believed my good works pleased God, so, that was good enough for me.
It wasn't until five years ago when I realized I needed to totally give my heart to God with a sincere heart that’s dedicated to live the life God had already planned for me but I’d chosen to live on a roller coaster lifestyle of living a Christians life and one not so Christian because I just didn't care either way.
I never denied God and because I never did God was using me throughout my lifetime doing good works in His name which pleased our Father God.
After I was saved, I found it very hard to live God's plan for my life. I still liked the plans I had made for my life. This proved to be a constant battle in my life between living for God and living in the world.
God didn't come to me, the fact is He won't go to anyone, at least not until you call for Him. And if you’re not a believer “don't make that call because God won't hear you. See. (John 9:31)31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Today, I'm dedicated to serving God daily and continue my Lord Jesus Christ work by preaching God's word throughout the world and teaching folks how to use God's word as a guide to live for Chris, and how to beat all the temptations, trials and snares Satan puts on us while we're visiting earth.
After I became one of God's Christian Soldiers. A title all Christians can claim if their living as Christ lived and obeying our Father God's laws the best they can. I say this because I honor God's will for me by doing my best to live Christ like, See> (Galatians 2:20) 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
It wasn't until five years ago when I realized I needed to totally give my heart to God with a sincere heart that’s dedicated to live the life God had already planned for me but I’d chosen to live on a roller coaster lifestyle of living a Christians life and one not so Christian because I just didn't care either way.
My Final thoughts
Until we truly give God our lives and live for Him, we will never truly be God's Children. God's needs us I became His child; this is the only way God will welcome us into Heaven as His heirs. I truly did live this roller costar lifestyle most of my life. I felt I was doing my part because God was using me when I wasn’t walking with Him or living a good lifestyle all. Please Don’t wait to commit to God requires that will ensure your life ever after folks. Don’t put it off to another day, because that may never come, amen.
Let us pray together
Lord, we know we must do to ensure our passage to Heaven. So, we ask for your help to help unbelievers understand your word. And that its never to late for them to ask you in their lives with a sincere heart that’s dedicated to commit their life to yours. In your name Jesus Christ, we pray amen.
