What Does Your Life Look Like?


How is your life turning out?

Have you ever been so moved by a blessing from God that you’re to the brink of tears of joy!

That’s how I feel right now.

        I’m sitting at my apartment, 2 months away from me lease being up and moving again, less than 4 months left of school and moving back to Indiana. I cant help but think about my very first blog I had written, the struggles, pain, uncertainties etc.
Now as I’m this close to finishing I’m looking onto a new chapter of my life and it’s exciting, I cant wait to see what all God has next!

      I’m sitting here having accomplished my first year, now almost my second, went on a missions trip and impacted thousands of lives, lived on my own for 2 years and survived and grew both physically as a man, and spiritually. I have met some really great people as well as had some interactions with some sandpaper personalities. I cant say that everything has been great cause I have had my good times and bad, but all together I see now almost 2 great years behind me, and a lifetime ahead of me.

       I went from a young man feeling stuck in a rut headed to nowhere, to still a young man headed to an adventure with my savior. God has given me a gift to teach, gift to preach, give to act out dramas and skits, and now the gift of a creative mind able to create things as their being said with the smallest of detail. I’m currently in the process of writing my very own skit(drama), the writing is done and I’m working on getting the process to completion to perform at the end of year party that we have here at the college.

       I’ve found out things about myself that I questioned. I came here not knowing if I could say no to an enticing girl to knowing that God has given me the strength as a man to step away. I’ve broken down the chains of legalism and found out how much I love people, how much I love listening to people, how much I have a heart for street evangelism, prison outreach, and youth. I finally found myself worth peoples time and effort when before I didn’t see a point in living as I contemplated taking my own life myself or by joining the military.

        I have broken generational curses since I changed over to the bloodline of Jesus Christ, I have found my authority in Christ to heal the sick, give to the poor, comfort the broken hearted. No longer do I live by the worlds standards but Gods, I was created in His image and God said I was good! God told me to trust Him 100%, enough for Him to trust me. He told me to love and see the best in everybody including the President whether I agree with his morals or not because he is the leader of this country and I am called to pray for him. He told me to love those who live off of welfare, love the drug addicts, the poor, the smelly, the corrupt, the murderers, rapists, thieves. When God told me and showed me in His word 1 Corinthians 13:7 in the amplified version to believe the best in every person God meant every person. In the natural we see the outside, but God looks at the heart. So if God looks at the heart and can see something good in the worst of criminals or the worst in leadership and He tells us to love them, then love them, its that plain and that simple to me.

         Some people may not agree with me, some will try to fight me in what I believe and try to change my mind. I welcome the persecution of the church because that is only an affirmation that I am doing the right thing and the devil doesn’t like it. I’m ready to live as Paul did, he praised God in the jails, he was persecuted, stoned and left for dead, bitten by poisonous snakes etc. I will get to the point where sickness and disease cannot hurt me, and I believe fully if someone puts something deadly in my food or drink it will not harm me. Paul was a regular human being just like us, I don’t believe the “scholars” that say all that power and knowledge and miracles died with the disciples and apostles in Bible days. It says God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When Moses came down off the mountain not only did he have the ten commandments but he also had other rules etc. which the people said they would follow all, which included blessings and judgment. But through Christ He has made a new covenant which frees us from the destruction of sin, which through the blood covenant of Jesus made us right with God and enabled us to walk into the throne room of God and call Him Abba Father.

         This is my life, saved by God, ready to do and live out the promises of today to generations to come. This is my calling; this is my job on this earth. I know this is what God wants me to do and I know He will take care of me no matter what challenge comes my way. Come on He put a home schooled kid through Bible College who thought nothing would come from his life, and He brought people into my life to provide the funds to go on a missions trip that would open up my mind to more than I thought was possible. Don’t tell me God doesn’t heal because I saw a cripple man walk, and don’t tell me that God only chooses to heal some and not all because who has the authority to say that the person who was on the brink of death, laying in a hospital bed faced with spinal injuries or head trauma wasn’t healed just because he/she died. Would you rather that person be here on this earth suffering or in heaven healed and sitting at the feet of Jesus?

           Remember to always love, always pray faith, always speak faith and love. Remember to trust and hope earnestly for the things of God. Remember to chase and take hold of your inheritance on this earth because of what Jesus did on the cross.

My motto is no longer “life’s rough then you die” but it’s “life has its challenges, it’s not always easy, step out and make a change, live life to the fullest, and be the man/woman God created you to be

Thanks for reading and I hope and pray for everyone that reads this.

God Bless!

P.S- God wants me to tell you that you’re worth His time, and that He loves you.

He has His arms open, run to Him, and start your new life with Him!
