I Know Its Weight

Is there no other way open, God, except through sorrow, pain and loss, to stamp Christ’s likeness on my soul.  Know other way, except the Cross?  Then a voice stills all my soul as stilled the waves of Galilee, “can’st thou not bear the furnace heat, if mist the flames I walk with thee? I bore the cross, I know its weight. Can’st thou follow where I lead? I’ll give thee strength, lean hard on me.

This is a message to believers that Know matter the struggles that we face and have to endure Jesus is not only with us but knows all about them because he has overcome them victoriously.

I remember a different set of struggles I had to endure before I came to Christ. The night life was my vise y’all I mean women and alcohol were my closest friends and end the end they both left me poor blind miserable and naked. I remember waking up at my house and trying to figure out how I got there. Listening to people tell story about me of which I had no recollection, how embarrassing but did I stop nope the devil had me y’all. Sleeping around with women I barley knew not to mention putting myself you and your children in harms way driving home tore-up-from-the-floor-up, I’m sorry y’all.

 Some people come to Christ because they know they should they’ve been look ‘in and when they finally found the truth they did what they were suppose to do they yielded to the word of God submitted themselves and were saved according to the Apostles Doctrine. Others of us, came kick ‘in and screaming, battered and bruised. I had to loose all those things I thought I loved before I could finally see what was right in front of me the whole time, Christ’s out stretched Arms. I lost house, money, great jobs, car I’m talk ‘in bout a drop top convertible y’all, I lost it all. That was only to realize that it wasn’t me that had stuff, it was stuff that had me.  “Know servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other, you can not serve God and money”. (Luke 16:13) I hated God with out even knowing it but I loved the night life and was loyal to it every weekend, loyal to the bottle every night. I thank God for saving me; I thank God who is my Lord and Savior. Only He could do it

(Isaiah 63:5) for me y’all and He can do it for you too.

After yielding to the Apostles Doctrine I have fortified my life in Christ and promise to serve Him by serving you how bout that you got your own personal servant to tell you the good news (The Gospel).

Bare with me Paul said in 1st Corinthians vs.19 “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;” that’s all I want to do win y’all to Christ before it too late, he goes on to say that “to the Jew he became as a Jew to win the Jew, to those who were under the law as under the law that I might win those who are under the law”. It goes on further but you get the point. People use this scripture as a reason to sin and wreak havoc on the witness of the Church. This does not mean that as the sinners are so shall I be to win them. It simply means that Paul having been a sinner was able to meet people where they were and tell them about the goodness of Jesus Christ. Like I’m doing now, I know what its like to be a drunk and want to stop but you can’t. I know what its like to gamble your money away or throw it away same difference and want to stop but can’t. I feel your pain, and I’m here to tell you this new life that I have is beautiful but it’s not just for me its for you too. I’m not special so much as that I can be saved and you can’t His arms are open to you too. Why not embrace Him, why not give Jesus a try, you tried everything else? All He wants to do is save you.

These are the last days I know you can see that something is terribly wrong in our society and its worse than it’s ever been the only comparison is that the bible says that it would be like the days of lot before the great and terrible Day of the Lord. That Day is now. I witness to a young man and I liken the statement Jesus made that you’re either with me or against me to the analogy of the people in the matrix. If you have not been unplugged (Baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of you’re sins and received the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance according to Acts 2:38 and Acts 2:4) then you are a trafficker for the enemy period, and any traffic for the enemy is against God period. Romans 1:20 begins to let you know you are with out excuse you know to do right you just won’t do it and in the end its going to cost you more than you can bare. Your soul is eternal, you can claim to not believe in God if you want to, and die in your sins like a fool. Or you can take heed. It’s always been up to you every man is responsible for his own destiny.

 

The devil uses a religious platform which is to say he takes the truth and perverts it with in the Church. This is the scripture in which I want to deal with people hold on to this because it allows them to straddle the fence, if you will; but that’s exactly where the devil is having target practice and at that altitude he’s not missing. The scripture simply states that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9) people love to profess this scripture, if you believe I have a million dollars for you because I said so (that’s faith) you better come get it (that’s works). Faith with out works is dead (James 2:17).  You confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, (that’s faith) you shall be saved (that’s works) and it consist of being baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gives you the utterance. I love all y’all in Jesus name but if y’all don’t catch on quick you’re going to be left behind and the two saddest words in the English languages are too late.

Lord Jesus You ever live to make intersession for your children I ask that, that intersession be made for me as I make intersession on behave of those who’s eye’s gaze upon these pages but still do not understand. Reign on them that understanding that you live to see them saved. Those who are down trotting by the darkness of the devil and his host of demonic forces; because you are greater than they, wiser and have already triumphed over them putting them to and open shame. Cast them out and off of my readers Lord that they might make a sound decision before its too late. Reign on the minds of those who think its too late already let them know there’s still time and that there is no sin to great for you to wash away. Beat back the hand of the enemy in their homes, in their schools, on their jobs give them peace and direct there steps to you O’ my Lord. Reign on the paths they take, Lord keep them safe till they can get to Your House of Salvation, dear God reign down your power. Now, Lord reign in me the stability to do all that I need to, the ability to be a good husband to my wife, a good father to my children and most of all a good son to my Father who is Jesus the Christ. Reign Lord let it Reign.
