Growing In The Lord

My fellow brothers and sisters, I am happy to say.... I am finally growing in the Lord...

God has shown me such wonders.

God has provided for me.

God has protected me.

God has and continues to heal me.

But, most of all.... God Loves Me... Yes, Me!!

Praise God, My Father!!!

About a year ago, I finally, was making enough money to pay my bills, go places and have enough on the side. I attended church and use to give what I could of my 10%, but then, when the Lord blessed me with more.... I still kept my same routine and just gave a little and then soon to be nothing.  I then started to make excuses... not giving money, using the talent He gave me, and going to church... used to avoid people from the church and/or would "play church"

Started to gamble... didn't drink or do anything else... but, that was enough.... I started to hang around people of the world.  Often, run into other people who occassionally dropped by at church services... so, they knew who I was and what I was suppose to represent.  They would talk with me and make comments about "why wasn't I in church".. we would make a joke about it...

Let me tell you something,

"You should never joke about church or God"

I know that god gave me many chances to change... but, did I listen, "NO"... 

I was stealing from God... His 10%... His Talent... His Time.... His Reputation In Me...

Well, later on, I lost everything... Yes, everything...

But, "Praise God", He has given me another chance!!

I'm starting over again, no money, no job, no car.... but, I'm not worried, God is with me, just like He's always been.... I'm a very rich man!!

He has provided for me in such ways, no words can describe.

Through my family and friends, God, my Father, has provided for me.

Everything will fall into place, once again, but, in God's time.

Right now, I'm in training.

Reading His Word and Praying Daily

First, drinking milk... as I mature, I will eat meat.... and become stronger in His word.

So, my fellow brothers and sisters, I'm asking you to "watch out" because the devil is looking for any little crack, hole, opening within you...

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."

Proverbs 3: 5-6 

 "No, God" or "Know God"

God wants us to prosper, but, we must be put Him first and give credit where it is due...

God will always provide... ask in His name... it will be done

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment"

1 Timothy 6:17

Pray for me... I will pray for you as well...

peace to you all

Your Brother,

Jesse
