Help Me To Get Others Onboard

YAH, i understand that there are people who aren't living for You.  People who are in bondage.  People who are rejecting Your Word, and by the power of the Holy Spirit You command that i love them anyway.  For i was one of them in bondage, rejecting the Word of God, smoking, choking, and drinking.  i let my Bible sit idle for twenty years, and i referred to You, YAH, as my "Creative Source."  i suppose that could've been any god.  It was a positive case of pagan idolatry.  i confess my sins.  i got into porn on a daily basis, i was a practicing homosexual---most recently more in theory but that was just as wrong and would be wrong should i ever uphold those beliefs.  

Now i realize that i don't have to work my way into heaven.  The Holy Spirit constantly witnesses to me that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and my personal Savior.  He, through His stripes, heals me and has carried me through many dangerous situations because He becomes a shield, and like a shield His favor surrounds me.  More and more each day i am feeling justified in the Spirit and there is little doubt i will be taken up with the Lord in the Rapture.  

Now i see these days that fake Christianity makes good money.  Help me, Abba, to continually turn from idols to serve You--the living and true God as i wait for Your Son from heaven, whom You raised from the dead.  YAH, You haven't appointed me to wrath, You are here in my life to assure salvation through Jesus Christ.  Help me get others onboard--as of now i'm not sure how i will do it.  But i trust You will show me the way soon enough.  In Jesus' name.  Amen

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
