Many people's lives are driven by untold levels of resentment,fear and sadness.they make wishing statements like :"if life had no troubles..then what a heaven will it be","i wish i would die" and all sorts of self induced hypnotic freedom statements..DONT BE NEGATIVE!! be of good cheer!!!FEAR NOT!!!!
the chinese way of saying "utopia" is "u tuo bang" it literally means "the clan of dragging darkness". People deceive themselves and dont want to face reality..they find comfort in new age stuff..that promises that man can become god and rule over the people they fear and hate..also they find acceptance in secret societies..only to wake up to remorse and further emptiness...some turn to drugs for comfort...and also to wake up one day to the fact that their bodies are soon to be wrecked by carcinogenic particles ready to destroy your flesh after decades of hibernation by meiosis (cell splitting and multiplication) .
Tell u something..dont be offended.give this a good thought:"
drug companies are making use of human weakness to boost their profits and heighten sales."(when hardcore supporters still pay for their drugs even though government increased the price to deter people from buying it) .Get this:when u are committing a slow but unknowing suicide,more and more carcinogens (cancer causing substances e.g narcotine,irritants,cocaine ,tar etc) are residing in ur body.
The more u die slowly everyday by consuming ur drug,the more drug companies are laughing "HA HA HA" at their sale increase!!!!!BUT,u are human...we are all humans...that gives us a privilege,that as long as we are humans,regardless of race or culture and religion,we have been given a privilege to be God's friend.here are 8 fabulous reasons from the bible,which i specially prepared for you!!!
1)
rom2:11For God shows no partiality [[d]undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another].(B)(amp)2)
2 cor5:19It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor).(amp)3)
2cor6:2For He says, In the time of favor (of an assured welcome) I have listened to and heeded your call, and I have helped you on the day of deliverance (the day of salvation). Behold, now is truly the time for a gracious welcome and acceptance [of you from God]; behold, now is the day of salvation!(A)(amp)4)
philip2:7 He made himself nothing;[a] he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form.[b] 8And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death on a cross (nlt)5)
rev 3:20"Look! Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal as friends.(nlt)6)
rom5:10For since we were restored to friendship with God by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be delivered from eternal punishment by his life.(nlt)7)
rom5:20God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful kindness became more abundant. 21So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God's wonderful kindness rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (nlt)8)
rom3:22We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.(nlt)God is not interested to have a religion with you,he is interested in having a friendship and relationship with u!!!notice the words that i put in bold..it is a painfully sincere message of what God wants to say to you face to face!!
rom10:9For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. (nlt)
and u are blessed!!:
1a)matt 5: 3 "God blesses those who realize their need for him,[a] for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them.(nlt)God bless you!!!
1 john 3:1a)See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children, and we really are!
*.* what a loving God has done... *.*
TRuth to be told...
I was a demi-satanist in sec1 to 3...a candid moment of "poser" phase in my adolescent years.Teens are really impressionable...
i was a curious little youngster who wanted to know the truth behind the physical world..what drives hate and fear in the lives of many..of course,having been invited to numerous
christian services...i find it irate and passe when people just press you on to know christ...so i was fed up and entered the realm of the extreme opposite..god's enemy..SATAN!!!
Interestingly enough i began to wonder and delve deeper and deeper into the realm of darkness..i was seeking for a religion or life philosophy that doesnt put restrictions on what u want to do...so satanism is all about pride,sex and rebellion...frankly,i was a sadist,due to the fact that i loved seeing those who reprimanded me cry(and i didnt even appreciate their love!!!),also i drew strength,great strength from hearing crying babies,infants and most of all...kids up to 6 years of age ....these to me is like the satanic book of psalms in my heart....
the contradiction starts here....i am an atheist but believing in the devil...and attending christians services and trying to twist scriptures to bring forth satanic revival!!!!woah..EEEEEVVViiiilll!!!!!
YET,God touches even the worst of sinners
( gal1:13,15You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion--how I violently persecuted the Christians.[b] I did my best to get rid of them. 15But then something happened! For it pleased God in his kindness to choose me and call me, even before I was born! What undeserved mercy! )(nlt)
yep so he touched me during services,when i was a unbeliver and an anti christ..i felt like crying for no particular reason..that is the touch of GOD!!!!
and it pains me to have remembered that i hurted my mother and family due to my pride and egoism..that i would refuse to listen to "human NOISE" and preachy human wisdom...i shifted all my faults to my mom and she sometimes cried in secret..which i dont know..my dad slapped me for arguing with him!!!my sister gave the final wake up reprimanding i so richly deserve.PRAISE GOD for using my family members to stir me up!!!
Mind you..i am not the sort who just went to church and what u call "be cheated and just believe in something u didnt see with ur own eyes" type of person...it took me one whole year of scientific thinking and formulae for all sorts of evil on this earth...why humans can think evil...bear grudges and ultimately dominate people by being driven by their innermost fears,negative memories and hurts....i remember reading in a christian booklet entitled "whats the point?" a friend gave me saying that if we did not have emotions..we would be creatures unable to love ,like robots living on this earth...waiting for the day we die..accomplishing nothing.
heed this:
ecclesiastes 2:24"So I decided there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and to find satisfaction in work. Then I realized that this pleasure is from the hand of God. "(nlt)
seriously speaking we just need to be happy all the days of our lives..youths,please do not hurt ur bodies by smoking and drinking...u are young and can do great exploits!!!
ecclesiastes 11:9"Young man, it's wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. 10So banish grief and pain, but remember that youth, with a whole life before it, still faces the threat of meaninglessness." (nlt)
we still need to give account..our bodies are the temple of the holy spirit,honor him with our bodies!!!(1 corinthians 3:16,6:20)
i am not being overtly preachy here...it is simple to be wise..and knowing ur purpose definitely gives u less stress ....and u live for his glory!!!(romans 11:36)!!!!
when God touched me...i cried tears of joy.....and knowing that he has forgiven me of all my past transgressions agaisnt my family members by sending his son to die an underserving death on the cross for me, and the whole of mankind,a lonely,painful and bloody death...now all my past wrongdoings is insignificant ..he still is patient with me...and his love really touched me deep down.this is my sincere message to all!!!
2peter3:9The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,[b] not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
john 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
until next time,
