The enemy has seriously gone and tried to mess with my mind today. Hes trying to take me on a journey back to a place I once was in my life. A time in my life that I was completely broken and had no purpose. All I gotta say is sorry bud I dont fold like I youst to. I dont lose my patience like I yousto to. You see because I have Jesus Christ by my side now, I have the holy spirit filled within me, and a new confidence that makes me bold and defiant to over come anything with selfless faith.

There is just something about candlelight that amazes me. I know it sounds kind of random but the burning of a candle represents something consistent. Honestly to me the fire that consumes an individual for Christ can be an illustration for a candle. No matter where I pray or where I go to pray, I always have candles by my side. Because it helps me focus on my fire with God. Most importantly as you seek him that fire keeps getting greater. No longer to the joys of a life of hypocrisy consume my life. Instead when I seek to walk in the light of Jesus Christ, that is when I feel most satsified.
Ok so this might be stepping on a limb but recently I have been asked a ton of questions about "dating". To Christians that word has a whole multitude of meanings. I honestly have been on a date been well ages because I have focused on my walk with Christ. But now it is bold and radiant and the ultimate driving force in all aspects of life including "dating". So how the heck do you do that? Well above all else a great first date would be go to go church together and maybe lunch after that. It is so important to have a similar walk with Christ. This is something I have prayed about a lot because I really in the past have never put Christ first in my dating life. Soo lets see what happens

"These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold- through your faith is far more precious than m
In our walk with Christ we all sometimes go through some sort of struggle. We experience some sort of pain due to lack of self confidence status and what people say and do to us. But honestly just recently I realized what those curve balls in life what their true meaning is. Above all else we worship God and give thanks to him when times are good? But what about those times when we go for days or even walks of constant failure or uncertainty or even lack of self confidence. For the past couple of days I personally have gone through this. The summer has been great but I like to stay busy on whats ahead. I like to keep myself occupied.
Anyways how we deal with pain or uncertainty in our personal lives is a sign of two things. One it is a sign of our strength in the love of Jesus Christ. Second it is used as a testimony to the amazing power that his love and compassion has. The same sinless man who died on the cross is with his followers through thick and thin. As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear nothing. He is relentless in his power of grace and righteousness. How do I know that? It is through the holy spirit and the past couple of days even though there has been no FUSE or SUB30, he is still there. When it is all quiet, when I am surrounded by nothing but him, in candlelight, he is there.
As Christians in our walk if we stay steadfast cheerful and optimistic that Christ will get us through our day or week of struggle, he will bless us in many ways you could not think of. Through that pain and struggle he will transform you. There has to be a test to be a testimony to inspire others. And remember any story, any testimony, plays a small but significant role in the kingdom of God. From a story that inspires a co worker, to a pastor testimony that inspires an entire church.

Fear
I guess maybe sometimes fear of the past can bring a person down. I know for a fact fear that devleops in our personal lives is a result of someone or something what what they say or do in our lives. We often get caught up in the world of fear and it can prevent us from achieving God's purpose. An almighty God that took time to make us with his hands and provide us with a purpose, did not create fear within is. The hardest thing we can over come is to break that fear. Instead of worrying what others say and think, spending time on what God thinks about our actions through prayer is a better plan.
I sometimes think of my past mistakes. Especially the ones that have been really costly to me. Often it is a tool of the enemy, and he likes to play his games. But I keep reminidng myself and praying that Jesus Christ and having faith in him, he helps guide me through fear of the future and of what people say and do in my personal life. Through his teachings I know how to not only handle it but break fear. I used to get caught up for such a long time on personal mistakes. But now since I am living in his purpose, I do not have time to sit back and be all pessimistic. Everyday I am conquering the unknown. I am conquering the fear of perception and image in this world. And this is making me into a bold man of God.........Peace

23But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins;
It took me to go to my grandfather's cemetary today for me to get some quiet time. I honestly have not been there in years but in a place where often sadness is experinced, I felt the joy of the holy spirit in my life. Sitting on that bench near my grandfather's grave made me realize that often the enemy makes us slaves. Slaves of sin and brokeness if we are not careful. Luckily I have not been broken in the past couple of months but he keeps trying to break me. Well I will not give in. You see what many do not realize is that my heart is been filled with the holy spirit and sometimes we often act with our mind and not our heart. When we do things for us and not for Jesus Christ our mind takes in control. But when you have Christ, that captivity fades away.

The long walk
This week or maybe since 10 days has seen like a long walk. I honestly have been stranded with some situations that have been bugging the daylights out of me. For those folks who notice I have not wrote in my blog much. Instead I have focused on relaxing in the form of hanging out with friends that I haven't seen in awhile. But when you do that every night, it sometimes brings a wear on you. I honestly have not had any personal time to myself when this week should of been focused on that. In my walk with Christ, I have neglected. My fire is there but not as radiant as it should be.
Driving home from the gym yesterday afternoon I saw a white dove off fly past my windshead. The weird part me and my roomate saw it as a sign of the holy spirit. It was something that I have never seen before in my life. I honestly haven't prayed about its meaning but I believe God is trying to show me the amazing grace. We sometimes get side tracked but hopefully being side tracked will make you grow stronger. It has. I just pray that this summer above all else I can grow more in him. I hope and pray that I can find the ambition I had earlier this year. Jesus is waiting for me to go "all in" for him.
