Welcome to this pathetic looking blog. I am currently writing as a small thing to really elaborate on my issues. I will not talk about a few unmentionables, but only share a little bit to keep myself flowing for discussion. My fan base is consistently growing, everyday!
For a short introduction, I am now going on to work on my testimonies. My life in the Lord began as a 2nd grader, when I accepted Jesus through a prayer and with my heart. I went through with it because I wanted to try it out. Another brother of mine named Andrew accepted with me, but I haven't kept in contact with him lately. I remember going through Bible school and feeling the worn out effects of being committed to God. It felt like going to school, and I didn't like learning about anything. I had moments where I blanked out in my mind and nothing came through to me in those sermons. My life was a total wreck sometimes, I would do things completely not liked by God and feel like a wretch for doing them. Yes, I felt like a very bad person whenever I cursed in my childhood. I hardly said a cursed word, after training myself to deal with the bad impulses of my life. I totally became reliant on myself for studies and had periods of not wanting to study. I sometimes felt like a person who was going to blow up up into high school. I was totally committed to getting A's and pleasing my parents but I felt really empty inside. Every year, I had this emotion of wanting to quit going to school after putting in a lot of effort. This emotion grew larger, as I didn't find myself playing with friends. However, I made television my idol and even became aware of my sexuality before my puberty. It didn't help to have perverted guy friends in middle school. Learning about sex ed for the first time was really funny especially when the teacher used sex terms. There was a lot of giggling among the brothers and bashfulness to the sisters as well. Ninth grade came around and I had almost forgotten about my acceptance of the Lord. My walk became really carnal by this time. Even through all that carnality, I couldn't find absolute satisfaction. I wanted the best of everything a guy could go through. Engaging in acts of what I call myself getting carnal encouragement, my faith kept on bouncing away from the Lord. I had a few moments of wanting to be really angry with God, but thank God I didn't have consistency with doing anything. I was like a person with ADD, giving no attention to life's detail. I gave a lot of respect to a lot of high school students and became devestated because I became afraid of not being able to live up to the expectations of peer pressure. I lost full-throttle confidence in myself and became anti-social. All I really longed for was engaging in carnal acts by myself with noone telling me, how it was affecting my total growth as a person. I was very emotionally filled for a time being carnal, but then the Lord called me to go church. My mom told me about a church that was about a few 100 yards away from my house. I went there and still couldn't confide myself in dedicating myself to the Lord. I had these moments of wanting to do good things as a Christian, but I was being too indecisive with my heart. I then started feeling the spiritual confinement with me doing those carnal acts. I would feel very sheepish, as it affected my accountability. I stunted my growth as a matter of eating a lot of sweets and not averaging a sufficient amount of sleep. The heaviest I ever became was 180 pounds while under 5 feet. I wore a waist size of 36. My life was a wreck for me, as my mind started shutting down. I had moments of hitting myself very heavily enough to the point of me crying in agony of not being able to fully complete any thinking assignment. In ninth grade after a year of courting her during breaks, a young girl stole my heart. I felt a lot of care for her and even mentioned it in crypted messages to my mom, who scared me about an occurence of a destructive relationship with young couples.
My heart sank because I knew I couldn't be with her, but I always wanted the best for her. My reasoning was I lacked all the timing of being well-prepared for a relationship. Learning about love was very important to me as it applies to my walk in the faith. Never was that emotion of wanting to fellowship stronger with any other person. I didn't show it to her, and I forgot about it as I moved on.
Being in carnal mode, I felt like my life was in jeopardy and made me feel weak whenever I wasn't emotionally filled. My true spiritual state is a being who can't do anything. I seeked to always entertain myself and felt fits of having enmity with the world whenever I didn't obtain my selfish desires.
I was always under this bondage of carnality and without the Holy Spirit working in me, I would never have dishardened my heart. I always wanted to avoid the actual truth and whenever, I went to church I always longed to get out.
By the grace of God, after I debated with myself about Jesus' life and did the best I could to defame the mysticism, I wrestled with the Spirit of God and surely enough after I thought about a possible scenario of a virgin birth in modern terms, I accepted Jesus was born through God the father. I believed in Christ's resurrection from the start, but I gained something. I felt higher satisfaction than any other carnal moment I ever had, by placing my confidence in the Godhead.
I was on cloud nine, while feeling loved and overjoyed despite having still the thorns of ignorance in my spiritual life. Romans 8:3 states for what the law could not do in that it is weak in the flesh, God sending His son in the likeness of sin, condemned sin in the flesh. Christ condemned my carnal emotions from my flesh.
I've been practicing this song for awhile, but still haven't gotten it down fully yet. Here are the lyrics:
We lift/lay our hands to worship you.
You pour out your love to deeply cleanse us
We sing for our joy and peace of Christ's reign!
Creator and king of all majestic splendor
Will you smile upon us God? Everyday, we glorify your name above all names. Please fill us with your presence Lord.
We cry out our deepest fears. You are so holy, holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy. Oh Heavenly father. Oh abba. You raised us from above. You equipped us, provider. We will witness the ends of the earth!
You know what? Being a short person growing up has made me turn out to be a not so confident person. My reluctances of having existed come from me being so bonded with my childhood experiences. I have never managed to get past these emotions, even though my mom says it doesn't matter. There's a piece of me that has been left out from speaking up.
I've always wanted to have a subtle connection with everyone else, but I didn't end up getting it. From suffering a whole lot, I've had to grow spiritually. It's not being easy living my life and having the worst emotions that you could possibly imagine. I'm really at a point where I can barely fellowship with others. I'm starting to also lose my edge with being accurate in my grammar.
Everything doesn't flow smoothly for me. It is unfortunate that I can't be a very talented leader and disciple maker of some sort. I'm a foolish being to have walked the face of this earth. 1 John 5: 14-15 speaks about how we should have the confidence to approach God and that he will listen to our prayers if ours is in accordance with God's will.
I believe that by making a prayer of wanting to be taller has made me grown taller already. My intention is to share my experience of becoming taller with others of how prayer really works. I can assume my life as a taller person now and pray for better confidence. I am a really reserved person, and in a sense, don't want to get involved. I'm just a nobody, who can't do much consistently. That's my area of failure, and I hope my prayers will be more effective in becoming consistent.
I take so long showers, without even keeping track of time. I wake up incidentally on time, but go back to sleep. I figure I will do homework, but I really don't. I can't truly make up my mind in what I'm supposed to do, without being truly informed about everything. I wonder off in my class lectures. For the first time, I'm actually becoming very serious and at the best level of confidence I need to be at.
Everything always doesn't seem to go your way. The LA Times pointed out today that chronic fatigue is linked to genes. As a kid, I struggled quite a bit to get started with homework and to stay consistent. It's really painful to sit still and do even the minimal amount of work for a child who just wants to play. I had a little sense of being an adult, but no common sense.
Growing up smaller than others, I've also lacked in a lot of confidence with myself. There's one thing that I truly confide in today. That's the Lord Jesus. I know he's real in my life. The Holy Spirit is there to give people the conviction of his omnipotent presence. We all have a great deal to accept or block out.
Mankind before those sanctified people became God-fearing men or women were under the fleshly desires. The natural man sort of acts like an animal under its own instinct. A male rabbit in captivity can't even restrain himself. I've seen it live and in my backyard. Even if I kick it off, it still tries to jump back on few minutes later.
It's bad for a man to be like an animal. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit comes from hardening the hearts and having no remorse over sins. God is not tolerant to people who sin. Sinners are worshippers of the devil. To be right with God, all of us have or need to confess all our sins by acknowledging Jesus as our savior, repenting, and thanking God for His grace upon us.
I pretty much don't have a lot to say these days. Trying to do the best I can, I'm not very sharp as I would like to be. I want to wake up early and be productive in the early morning. I know that being ready to go by 8:00 am is pretty good for a college student, but's it's not satisfying for me. I want to wake up even more earlier so that I can start off the day with an even fresher mind to seek after God's kingdom.
I have found that blogging on this site for about six months now has made me keenly aware of the things that have been bugging me. I largely have talked about my personal regrets from the past, and this great remorse for them. I believe I made known about my repentance from them and that the past that really gets to me is becoming more like a passing shadow.
A statement that I want to bring up is on how people repent because it feels good to have morality in them. It's considerably selfish looking at it in someone's viewpoint. What I do not like about this view is that, repenting from sin for any reason is good. I'm sure God would be just as pleased with us if we managed to find our way out of sin. Think about the Holy Spirit that reigns in us, he gives us different experiences and some can possibly be filled with fellaho, or brotherly emotional love. To want a connection with a higher calling is good, but it's important to keep in mind of who we are seeking after.
A newspaper I read on the LA Times shows a transcript about a pair of Muslims who brought down a plane during the Sept 11 attack. They claim Allah is the greatest, the most merciful, and compassionate. If this is so, then why didn't those Muslims spare the American's lives. Their hearts were hardened, and there was no true divine intervention from God. Enmity and love do not mix. Some argue Allah is the God of war, more like a god of hatred. Therefore, I state that war and love do not mix. The Old Testament talks about God allowing for wars to happen and even defeating enemies of His people. If you read Lamentations 3:33, it says that God is reluctant to place judgement on his creations. God's wrath upon mankind is righteous because of his sins of breaking away from God and becoming self-centered and deceived into doing evil. The opposite has occured in WWII; people have believed evil is good and good is bad. Take a look at the Nazi regime where they punished Germans who helped some Jews escape.
Just as God isn't so swift at judging, we shouldn't condemn others so wrongfully because we do their actions and are likely to be equally guilty. We can't save our own hides, but only the blood of Jesus can. Place your trust in Jesus' resurrection, and I'll see you in God's kingdom!
Lord, heaven and earth unite because of you. Please stop man from displeasing you. My life ails, moment by moment, from being away from distractions, such as media and visually stimulating material. I sense my personal weaknesses, and I seek after your help. My heart is so filled with the longing to glorify your name. My body stands in exhaustion because of transient emotions that pass by daily. It can't stand the pressures of having to be alert to every miniscule detail of my life. There is no faith in me with this world. I long to survive in a faithless world! My emotions draw me closer to you and then they fall apart. I have had to reflect on those past experiences to draw further attention to attending good sermons at Calvary Chapels. I have listened to you on KWEV. Without your blessing, my life is meaningless and toilsome. In Jesus Name, amen.
I'm still too involved with my past thoughts, and it's causing me to hinder my spiritual growth. Why I find this so is because I'm constantly forgetting my confidence in the Lord's saving grace. Making a million prayers is something I feel like I've been doing. I'm not so used to praying outloud in front of everyone at like a church. I have always relied on a pastor to lead me in prayer. Making this new stride has been tough!
I do wish to make intelligible statements, and I think the best way for me to adapt into a phenomenal reader is to read things that reflect upon my interests. I'm calm enough to memorize facts and still need to spend more time on juggling concepts in my head. This is so that I may find relationships with different concepts. I'm usually expecting to receive like a headache or some pain when I'm studying.
It's just a matter of me to keep up with my prayers to God. I need to ask a lot more. I would like to focus on the past, only for meaningful recollections. The present and the future is something I need to regain in composure.
I don't know where to begin and end. I do need to get some sleep though, Boy, I'm trying to get a lot of stuff done. I just hope I can wake up early to go to the prayer meeting. I think I've been a lot of academic training, enough to be able to conduct my own personal quiet time with God. I believe I'm getting more into the idea of how one should put their faith and trust in God. Disobedience is basically largely attributed to having lack of faith. A result of having disobedience is leading a life of sensuality. Sin is very pleasurably, and the moment that we spend our time on it, promoting our egocentricity, the more violence we create with our fellowship with God. Just because we are saved doesn't mean that we should continue living a reckless life. We are supposed to be dead to sin and buried with Christ. This symbolizes our baptism by placing our faith in Christ. This allows us to have a change in heart to our old self.

I remember being inspired to pray online with words at a Christian chat room on AOL one time, early in the morning before I went to school. I had this emotional high and afterwards, I felt really sheepish. I knew jack about the Bible and here I was trying to make all this sense about what Christianity was. The reason why I have brought this up is because my soul seems to be emphasizing the importance of having fellowship with God. This is done by reading the Bible and following all those commands, which doesn't seem very gratifying at certain times. I believe I was attacked in a minor sense today by recalling all the negative thoughts that have ran my life, over the last decade. Everything is going away these days, and I'm finding myself getting very acquainted with routines. I have discovered that having good posture will not only give a person growth, but also better learning situations. The blood flows a lot better with a good posture, which is evident by you not getting tired really fast. With this added blood flow, it will help clear out some diseases in the future.
I'm learning that I can actually imbed in html code to make my rambings look a little better. This is really neat because I never knew that I could do this. I actually have a pretty good brain, just that I suck at evoking its power when I'm in need or desire to sometimes. Afterwards with the event, I can probably duke out to get the problem if I have a little help from someone. I believe that I'm going to get some food right now.
