Resting in God again!

Well, it looks like I have finally gone through my trial. I had been going through a relapse of gaming addiction. Now, I am finally falling back into God's grace. After, the trial and I finally had taken my laptop over to my moms place and I am going to keep it there, then I received a phone call. Lifetime called me and they are going to give me a 7 day pass to the club. I mean that was the perfect timing, because I love swimming, and relaxing in the hot tub.

I also wanted to say that I am praying everyday again and I am reading my Bible once again. I even forced my self to church even though I didn't want to go and God met me there. He touched me beautifully. The Lord has also given me a lot more business and I really can't believe how much computer work he is giving me. All I can say is Thank You Lord!

Blog Facelift

I have just given my blog a face lift! What is new is below each post you can share the post. I also added my favorite blogs which are blogs of what is happening with my family. Also to the right will be the top 5 or 10 posts of the blog. Hope you like it!

Keep on going!

James 1:2

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

I had been going through a trial for the last 2 weeks. It was a relapse of a gaming addiction. It was so difficult, I thought I should just give up and play video games. But, then my mom said that when you fail, then get back up and keep going. Because the Devil wants us to not get back unto our feet and stay in shame and regret when we should be getting back on out feet and stomping on Satan's head.

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Genesis 3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

That means we have victory over Satan and his trials that he puts over us to try to knock us down and keep us there. But, we can get back unto our feet and keep on going!

Going through a relapse!

Going through a relapse!

The Flesh is weak but the Spirit is willing!

Matthew 26:40-42
King James Version (KJV)
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

The Flesh is weak but the Spirit is willing! This is something I had begun to understand a little more over the last few weeks. It all began a week and a half ago when I wanted to do things that I wanted to do. I started to cast aside praying and reading the Bible. I started playing computer games again which was an addiction in my life. It started eating at my Spirit, and I started wasting so much time on gaming. For two whole days I went to buffets and started porking out.

All this to say that my flesh was weak, and I was not doing anything to control my spirit. Yesterday, I realized that we are in control of our lives and it affects us, and other people around us. Whether they be our friends, family, or complete strangers. I was a mess, but now I am coming out. I just wanted to give the Lord the Glory for his mercies! Thank you God!

Tithing or Giving?

Warning: This subject is confrontational on Tithing. Thanks!

Tithe means giving the first 10 percent to the church. It also means whenever you get your paycheck then you must give the first 10 percent or you will not be blessed. I used to think that this terminology was true, but now I find it a Yoke of Bondage. I don't want to offend anyone, but I have to get my point straight out on this subject. Nowhere in the New Testament does it tell us to tithe a certain percentage to the church.

Many of you might say that the Old Testament has tons of verses on tithing 10 percent, but when Jesus died on the cross then he said this:

Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill."

Jesus came to fulfill the law, and tithing was part of the law in the Old Testament. Now don't get me wrong, because I am going to give out of the goodness of my heart. It says in the Bible that God loves a cheerful giver. So, please study this subject and see if I am true about this and if I am not then you can leave a comment below.

But ever since I did this, I feel so much happier to give to where I feel that God wants me to give to. Whether it be my time, money, or anything else. I am a happy man, and I won't be reverting back.
