Streets of My Old Workplace

Freedom in Christ was revealed to me today, as I walk the streets of my old workplace. I saw that nothing had changed since I left. There was still arrogance, eyes that looked past you as others walked by. I remember when these things used to bother me. I would stress out everyday, why are people so arrogant, why are people rejecting me?

Well I can say that today when I returned to the area, I saw things very differently, my world was much more joyful and clear. As I walked the streets of my old workplace, I thanked Jesus, with a smile I could not hide. I was overjoyed because He has set me free from the bondage of the world. That I don’t have to follow the patterns of this world.

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” – Romans 12:2

This Scripture truly set me free, because I know longer have to follow and be like other people, I can just be me, the weird guy God created me to be. Jesus has set me free from the bondage of having to be of this world, and in this I can rest.

Daily Walks with Christ

The Lord listens to you even when you aren’t praying.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. – Romans 8:26

Last night I was feeling a bit dismay, I felt as though I wasn’t helping anyone, so in turn I didn’t feel worthy of God’s love. I have come to realize that when I feel discouraged He’ll lift me up, by sending someone to cheer me up, if I am out and about it’s usually a smile, a good morning from someone on the street or He’ll put someone in my life to encourage and witness to, which usually brightens my day to know that I have helped someone.

So this morning an old friend of mine sent me a message about a friend of his who is trying to turn his life around from living a homosexual lifestyle. Knowing that the Lord sent him to me to water his seed is an ultimate blessing, this makes me feel that the Lord has confirmed me and trusts me, He loves me and is showing me that I am worthy.

Another thing I have noticed about my Father is that he teaches you what to say.

Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” – Exodus 4:12

I have come to notice that the Lord will prepare you years, months, weeks, or days before you need to encourage or witness, it is amazing how you’ll be nervous saying to yourself “what will I say” but once you start, The Spirit of God will remind you with a quickness what to say.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. – John 14:26

The Lord works in all aspects of our lives, whether it be face to face or online, all you have to do is take the first step and He’ll take care of the rest, each step we take toward Him is a victory step.

The Gift of Salvation – The Gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord Romans – 6:23

Have you come to a place in your life that if you died tonight, you’re certain you’d spend eternity in heaven?

Most would say, “Well I am a good person” or I try to do good things, and I treat other people well.” Those are good answers, however, there is only one answer that God wants to hear us say and that is, “Because I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.”

Steps to Salvation:

We’re all sinners and have weaknesses, thank GOD we have Jesus who understands all that we go through.

For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respects as we are, yet without sinning – Hebrews 4:15 (Amplified Bible)

So, step one is to acknowledge that you are a sinner and have weaknesses as we all do Christians and Non-Christians alike. Jesus is the one and only perfect example to follow and his door is always open to you, no matter what you have done.

Repent then, and turn to God that your sins may be wiped away – Acts 3:19

Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Matthew 9:11-13 (NIV Bible)

Salvation is not just for Christian, but also for all who believe and call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, He also wants to be the Lord of your life, just as He is the Lord of all Christian lives.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God – Romans 3:23

To accept Jesus as Lord of your life, with a a sincere heart, repeat the following prayer:

Prayer of Salvation:

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying for me
and offering me eternal life.
Im sorry for the wrong things
Ive done and I turn from my
sin. I give you my life and
accept you as my Lord and
Savior. Thank you for saving
me.

In Jesus Name
Amen
