The Weakest chains, The mightiest God

IMPORTANT READ Some of you were locked in a dark cell, cruelly confined behind bars, punished for denying God's word for turning your back on the high God's counsel - A hard sentance, and your hearts so heavy, and not a soul in sight to help. Then you called out to God in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time. He led you out of your dark, dark cell, broke open the jail and led you out. So thank God for his Marvelous love; for his miracle mercy to the children he loves; He shattered the heavy jailhouse doors, he snapped the prison bars like matchsticks! PSLAM 107 17-22 MSG

God doesent want you to suffer in your cell with whatever that cell may be filled with for he loves everyone, believer, or non believer. Whether it be depression, anxiety, lust, addiction, pride, death, mental health, physical pain, spiritual battles. Whatever it is you may be going through, it's okay to turn to God in your times of despair and use him as your last resort because it was in those times of desperation that God reveals himself to the unsaved the most. When I was an addict , I knew about God but I never followed him, I went astray and denied him, many upon many times. The devil confirmed his identity within me and I just went along with it, thinking about how I was better then everyone else for being who I've become in the enemy. But God had a different plan for me. One night in my jail cell, I knew the odds were not good on getting out spiritually or physically from either cell. But God had the upper hand over satan and came rushing to me, he sat with me, wrapped what felt exactly like real human arms around me as I sat there weeping with my hands in my face. I could feel the care, the love, the compassion, and mainly the spirit FLOW throughout my entire body. I immediately stopped crying , repented, asked for him to come into my heart again and got up onto my feet and began singing hymns and praise and reciting old scripture I had forgot I memorized before my addiction started. It was all coming back, he was back. And the enemy had no control anymore. When I should have stayed for a week and then shipped off to who knows where , the very next day, i was released and set free. Friends, it doesent take much to be saved ,all we need to do is simple. Call, or cry out to Jesus; repent, confess, and ask him into your heart so that you in christ are set free. If you have been hurt in the past by false faith from religion, or that your family has forced you into a what seemed like the dark side of Christianity, I understand and so does God. But know that Christianity isn't religion, HE TRAMPLES RELIGION/SATAN UNDER HIS MIGHTY FEET and wants to have a relationship with you. There has been many times I thought I can do life on my own and then failure after failure occurs, depression kicks in, anxiety rapidly flood my lungs. The lust for having someone in bed with me heightens, the pain of this world falls on my shoulders and I become like frodo carrying the ring in mordor.

We Don't have to live this way friends, it is up to us to throw away our past or things or people who have deeply hurt us and damaged our mindset on faith and Christianity, and take up our own cross . Wouldent you much rather carry your own cross through this life, knowing trials will be ahead but that God is with you forever and ever and then celebrate with him etenally in heaven? Or would you rather party and drink and manifest demons within you and destroy everything God has made you to be in this life, only to spend eternity with the enemy in a place that has no breath, no food, no salvation, no love, and just pure tormentation. The choice is your friends. What will you decide?

Does God trust his followers

Recently a man came up to me during church and handed me a paper, on that paper was a short write up saying this:

I saw an eagle over you

I feel God saying your prophetic and that he gives you words for people, and he is going to increase this BECAUSE HE TRUSTS YOU. He sees your heart and that you have a heart after him, and he is going to draw you closer to him.

Now, when i read he wrote "you are prophetic and he gives you words for people" and "because he trusts you" my mind was blown. To be frankly honest, Ive been thinking with satan as my right hand up in my command center for so long. Thing is, satan may be in my mind battling my faith, but God has already won the battle of faith in the heart. And same goes for every one of you reading this. You may think, why does it feel like God is so against me? How can he trust me? I've done so much wrong in my life, ive hurt people, ive manipulated people, Ive destroyed relationships, done drugs etc. How can he trust ME? A sinner? Well, there's a few reasons i feel the holy spirt is saying.

We are all worthy just as God is worthy.

Christ died for our sins, he died so that we can repent and be set free from our transgressions. So we can be used as God's right hand in his mighty army.

Because you are in him, he is in you.

God trusts us to use his power to do even greater things then he, and he is confident we will be obedient and do his works (share the gospel, heal the sick, etc)

A run with Jesus

I was running for my life, high on drugs, no clue how far behind me the man who wanted to stab me was, i could hear him screaming after me, repeating my name. Thinking to myself, how on earth has he not caught up to me? He's at least 6.2 in height and he has much longer legs then i do. So out of breath, i stopped around the corner in an effort to loose him and to hide. As i checked breifly around the corner, I saw two police cars parked in the middle of an intersection. Althought i couldent see what was going on, i had an idea of what had happened, And in my heart i could feel a calming spirit come over me, i knew then and there, it was safe to walk back to the youth shelter and that my enemy has somehow in someway, had been taken care of.

Its not always the things we see with the naked eye that save us, sometimes, its the things we don't see that saves us from the evil one. Although ill never know truly what happened that moment at the intersection , whether the man with the knife gave up, got hit by a car, or if someone random stopped him in his tracks. Whatever the reason, I knew God had the sitaution under control and that he had me protected.

Reminds me of what we were talking about in church yesterday a bit, In 2 Kings 6: 14-17 they see a glimpse of the spiritual battle (Gods army) that is invisible to the human eye. Elisha prays and asks God to open the eyes of his servant to see through the eyes of the holy spirit. And when he does , he sees chariots of fire, thousands of them, proctecting them in the same way God protected me in my sitaution. When i looked at the police cars from down the block at that intersection, i believe there were mighty warriors in the midst. Not because i was on drugs but because I had a strong sence of safety. And safety comes very rarely on the streets, i knew it was no coincedence.

Do you ever look down the block and only see the physical elements to the sitaution? Are you so focused on running from satan in fear, that you forget who you should be focused on running to for shelter and safety? For myself , i still am struggling with running from satan, but the way i look at it is that he is LOSING the race, he is no match for the Mighty God running the race with me, by my side. I encourage you to not run with a goal or a destination, but to realize we are constantly running a race against the evil one and that our destination/finish line is WITH us, there is no end to the race here on earth, there is just a constant race we run when we run with God while we are alive and breathing. And we can either run with God and continue running the good run till we reach heaven someday, or we can race the evil one in our own strength. The choice is ours to make.

Keep fighting those spiritual battles, Keep your sword sharp, And GO fight the War God has called you to fight in this life.

Happy Palm Sunday! Taking a rest from writing today but ill be back with more tommorow morning! God bless!

"But do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant; do not be dismayed, Israel. For I will bring you home again from distant lands, and your children will return from their exile. Israel will return to a life of peace and quiet, and no one will terrorize them. Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant, for I am with you,” says the Lord. “I will completely destroy the nations to which I have exiled you, but I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you, but with justice; I cannot let you go unpunished.” Jeremiah 46:27‭-‬28 NLT

I've been playing a newly released game these past few weeks quite heavily called Deceive Inc and have been absolutely loving it. Its in the extraction shooter genre and you basically go undercover as an NPC (non playable character) with 6 other players also who are undercover, all against each other, to achieve one goal; Extract the package. Now that you know a bit about the game, lets jump into the message.

We all have the mindset to make right decisions, but are they always correct? Course not, we make bad decisions too in life. One thing i catch myself being deceived by in this new game quite a bit is the fact that not all weird, odd, glitchy movements from NPC's are players. Like this ridiculously suspicious NPC I encountered just yesterday that i saw moving back and forth in a very strange way on-top of an umbrella. My first thought was he was a player who was legitimately stuck, so id put him out of his misery. Nothing in me told me i was wrong or could be wrong, i was 100% convinced that this NPC was in fact a player. By shooting my gun at this NPC, i also blow my own cover kind of like breaking out of a shell. So its very important to know when to shoot, and when to stay undercover.

It is wise to know what lies the enemy may be deceiving us with, weather it be an umbrella glitch or a NPC defying gravity, or just a random player walking past. In life, there are thieves in this world who hang around to steal your belongings, there are people who label themselves as your friend who only stick around as long as there are drugs in your pocket. Or the feeling of true love in a relationship can be deceived by a spirit of lust if tempted too much to do wrong things with each other. Its important to examine our decisions and not become affiliated with being deceived by people or satan or emotions. For us, Its super easy to blow our cover and become vulnerable, sometimes being vulnerable has its benefits. For Satan, he stays undercover, hiding yet still deceiving us behind a mask/cover that we dont recognize similar to the NPC's in Deceive Inc. He may even convince us to put cover on and hide too, this is where depression and loneliness come in to deceive us. The difference between God and Satan is obvious , but the armor given to us by each is much different. As Christians, we put on the armor of God and use the sword of the spirit (the word of God), while all Satan has is his mask and whole lotta super glue. Yes he is powerful, but we have a God who is much mightier then he is and can show us through prayer if we are being deceived by the evil one.

For myself I'll be honest, prayer has always been very hard for me, not because saying the prayer is hard, but hearing God's response. Sometimes we expect him to answer right away, but what I've been learning lately is that God works on his own time, that deceiving voice that says yes or no right away inside of my head is and has always been the enemy. We must not expect change or confirmation to happen right away because sometimes God SHOWS us the answer to our prayers instead, and only he can take the mask off Satans lies of deception in our lives through the power of prayer. To extract the package of truth and salvation, we must first give ourselves and our entire life to him, including our mask no matter how hard it is to get off our beautiful faces. If we trust in him to guide us in a walk to seek real truth and avoid false lies, we are setting ourselves up for success! We need not not blow our cover for satan and the world to see, but for God to see and for God to use our true selves for doing good. For he is who we find rest in and who we can rely on to save us from the clutches of the devil and his deceptional actions.

Screwing up in life can really take a toll on us sometimes, we do whatever it is that makes us feel ashamed and what does that cause us to feel? Guilt, something a lot of my life was based off. Everywhere i went id feel it, every grocery store id steal food from to eat on the street id feel it. Or going to get drugs when i lived at home and lying to my dad about what im buying i would feel it. But Ultimately, along with God, shame and guilt is what encouraged me at the end of my hard drug addiction to get off drugs which means much more to me then the two portions mentioned in the verse above, quitting drugs would be like 10 portions doubled in my books. Tormenting ourselves for years because of sin, drowning in guilt from sin, is not going to do squat in this life. Instead rejoice! Because Jesus has already paid the price for our sins by giving his life as the atoning sacrifice. When you look at guilt and shame from a more heavanly perspective they are very small emotions for how large they can feel. If your having trouble with these like i have been with my addiction to ciggarettes, i would say first step would be confessing, second step would be asking for forgivness.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

So a little bit about myself since i am new here, growing up I fell into a deep pit of addictions at a very young age. I lost sight of my true path and continued on a darker one. Looking back I was a nerd for as long as i could remember, and i was picked on at school by a certain group of guys daily at school. when i got the opportunity to do drugs for the first time, not only did the spirit of addiction come into my life but also a spirit full of pride. Once i began using daily for the first few weeks, i needed to blend in on the street to get my drugs easier without looking like i was 14. So the prideful spirit in me told me i needed to wear dark clothing, shave my head, pierce my ears, get a tattoo and so on. So i did. And when the group of guys who were bullying me came around on the bus, i would instead bully them while being high on meth rather then them bully me. So that's how i was introduced to pride and addiction.

I to this day struggle with both, as if they are a tag team in WWE, but i thank my God for delivering me and saving my life many times from the hard drug addictions. Now, i don't struggle with hard drugs but i struggle with something that is more addictive then i ever thought, cigarettes. And again cigarettes aren't just an addiction they are also a prideful addiction because if im being honest, sometimes I get the feeling im better then someone else when i have a cigarette in hand. Ive only ever quit meth and heroin and ketamine twice each, and succeded on quitting the second time around for each. But cigarettes and me have way more attempts on quitting then ive even thought about.

Lately it feels as if there is no way out, but with God, anything is possible. From experience I know where addiction leads, and i really would like to avoid going down that hole again, so im praying for the opportunity for doing some spiritual deliverance so i can finally spread my wings, I dont want to be suffering anymore i want to be alive in christ!

Psalms 118:8 it is better to trust in the Lord than it is to put confidence in man.

We sometimes fall short of trusting God, sometimes we forget to trust God. If we want to succeed and prosper in life , we must trust in him and lean not on our own understanding. I see so many hurting people in my life go through some of the hardest things and it just is problem after problem with them. That's what happens when we don't trust in God, and lean on our own knowledge or understanding of things. This Makes the fruit on the tree very unpleasent to enjoy, just like enjoying life. Idk about you guys but I prefer sweet things over bitter and unsweetened any day. (Unless your a stone cold black coffee drinker haha). Problems in life? Trust in God. Conflict in your life? Trust in God. In pain and the doctors can't help? Trust in God. Dont dwell in the midst of your own trust and understanding. Dwell in Gods.

In the video game Sea Of Theives there is a love we develop for finding/plundering treasure from others. Gold, gems, relics, trinkets, chests, all included. Those things make us feel good because it makes us wealthy in the game. My friend Robby yesterday asked me what my treasure in heaven would be and to my surprise I thought of these items mentioned above , and i thought about if they were real and in my possession. i then quickly realized that 😳 something isn't right here. Gold, silver, whatever is all materialistic. Nothing compares to the true treasure in heaven. Jesus and his love are what we should be thinking to treasure. Everything we own on this earth is temporary and not important to the salvation that lies ahead with god. Then why do we sometimes put material things over god first? Because we aren't perfect, we make mistakes and that's okay. That's just part of being human. If you havent been putting god first, your not the only one, for a long time I've left my bible on the shelf untouched and dusty. I would turn my computer on instead every morning and play video games. But that's gonna change because i feel a stir in heart and its feeling more alive then ever, I want to fall in love with my creator and not with these material things. And god and i (as his humble servant) want to help you to have a desire to as well in whatever way possible. For His love is what sets us free.
