I was living a life with addictions. i was addicted to cigarettes, pot, porn. I had a filthy cursing habit. i cursed in every sentence i was guilty of
hating people, i was full of unhappiness, i had no peace because i was full of sin in my life i had no hope in where i would spend eternity. i would read
the bible and ask God to forgive me of my sins but the next day i would continue to not be changed. i never fully repented. you see i wanted to continue to partake in my sins and have forgiveness too. boy was i wrong.

Confessions about Power

January 22, 2007 No Comments

I have received power now that the Holy Spirit has come upon me, and I shall be a witness of Christ. Acts 1.8

I wait on God until I am clothed with power from on high. Lk 24.49

Power belongs to God. Ps 62.11

The power of the Holy Spirit is not my own power. Acts 3.12

My speech and my preaching are not with the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that our faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1Cor 2.4 2.5

The message of the cross is the power of God to us who are being saved.

Thank you Lord for all things. I remember you, and all you have done for me. Thanks for giving me power to get wealth. Let your covenant be established through my life also, and the lives of my friends and associates.

Sin and Salvation – Section I

January 1, 2007 No Comments

The Disciple,—Master, it is clear to almost everyone that to disobey God and to cease to worship Him is sin, and the deadly result is seen in the present state of the world. But what sin really is is not absolutely clear. In the very presence of Almighty God, and in opposition to His will, and in His own world, how did sin come to be?

The Master,—1. Sin is to cast aside the will of God and to live according to one’s own will, deserting that which is true and lawful in order to satisfy one’s own desires, thinking thus to obtain happiness.

Prayer – Section I

January 1, 2007 No Comments

The Disciple,—Sometimes this question is asked, “Since God is fully aware of our needs, and knows how to supply them in the best way, not for the good only but for the evil, how should we pray to Him about them? Whether our necessities be temporal or spiritual, can we by our prayers alter the will of God?”

The Master,—1. Those who ask such a question show clearly that they do not know what prayer is. They have not lived a prayerful life, or they would know that prayer to God is not a form of begging.
