The Grace of God Enables us All

Its not over until God decides

I preached and evangelized with fellow Christian brothers and sisters at Herald Square 34th St, 6th Ave. Manhattan this Friday evening. Mere steps outside the restaurant we had fellowship and prayer prior to outdoor evangelizing, we were helping a homeless veteran, praying for him, sharing the word, and having dialogue with passing people.

We passed out Gospel tracks which was difficult in an area pamphlets and paper deals are given every hour. But the challenge gave me persistence, stamina, and led me to engage in one-on-one conversation which I haven’t been doing so often.

I met some new Christian family I’ll be praying for and adding their challenges to my daily prayers. The more people I meet and pray for, the stronger my hold to stay Holy so that my prayers will be productive. The more I’m engaged, the more I need myself to NOT fail. And God provides me the strength to do so.

Just when I thought it was over. Tired on the late night train back to my Brooklyn stop, two guys converse with me about my bike, my mask I had partially on (dirty subway air), and it eventually led to me handing them two Living Waters, “Prince” dollar bills with a Believe in God message on the back which they thanked me for. One of the guys got off on my stop and I spoke with him about the necessity to Repent and live Holy for God. He was listening intently to what I had to say. He seemed very grateful for having shared God’s message with him. When we got outside onto the sidewalk, I asked if I could pray for him.

And as my prayer for his deliverance, conviction, and protection had him crying, convicted. Praise God for using me to help him. We got into 30 minutes of dialogue about how to be Saved. He believes it’s by being grateful. I told him honestly through the Word we must Repent of our ways and turn to God for renewing us through the Holy Spirit to live lives faithful by being Holy and Christ-like. He doesn’t know scripture too well, nor do I but I’m making whole-hearted commitments to knowing God’s word. 

We exchanged numbers, and it was refreshing to hear how forward he was looking to us speaking further. God bless him. Just shows how God will connect who he wants at whatever time He wants. I was exhausted on the train ride, but now I feel as though I drank a double shot of espresso. Amen, all Glory to God. AMEN

Ride and Read

I’ve been traveling the city and finding places to stop to rest and most importantly, read. What is it that’s currently of utmost importance? The Bible. The truth, the word. I explored the upper west area of Central Park and made my way to Columbus Circle. Such a beautiful park it is. So grandiose and will take time to truly discover it fully. Uniting with nature is so healing. Praise God

I came across this book at the library and it is a gem from the Christian author himself. 

It is a satirical collection of letters from the hellish realm that demons converse about their enemy (God and his heavenly angels) and how they conspire about misleading humans to their dark kingdom and off the narrow path of righteousness. 

C.S Lewis puts so much into perspective and with an avid selection of vocabulary I must pause and look up definitions several times per “letter”. 

When I first sat down and began reading this on the 2nd floor of the Brooklyn Central Public Library, I was smiling and laughing internally at the wittiness of the dialogue. 

It shows how cunning the devils of this world are, and how we should analyze the situations before us, to make choices toward God and one’s away from emotion, temptation, and sin.

Transition

Being off of social media for three years and returning seems to stir some effort. I go about my day in a zen state, more proportionate to taking things in and having thoughts process them. But to relate them back toward an audience on social media is difficult, yet to prove tiresome. I did it before, and now I’d like to say I’m well rooted and have a Holy cause for God’s Kingdom. There will be no dogma to interrupt my cause in doing this. I wish to connect with like-minds, and similar hearted Christians and also show others how it can be to live for God in this modern day.

The Return

This individual awakens from years of foundation building. A detachment from virtual society was necessary to prompt authentic thoughts void of dogma, and allowing genuine output to influence those that come across these words.

A humble human being, filled with imperfections and weaknesses but puts focus on the existence of a creator that channels him for the betterment of humankind. 

Oh, how misery followed me when connected to feelings of dismay based on other’s negative thoughts, a mere fragment of fear, imagined by self-conscious youth.

I’m grateful of having matured into a man of moral stature, receptive intuition, and a perpetual hunger for improvement.

This blog holds the thoughts of an individual transcribed onto virtual ink that stains the world wide web with a embedded blood of a mere human being, weak in flesh, but strengthened by a Holy Force that brings conviction to those that need it, inspiration to those that need a push, and a relentless fight for righteousness.

Thank you, God.
