" For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior."
- Philippians 3:18-20
I remember about 4 years ago, I started dating and was also serving in my church as the youth leader. Now, there's nothing wrong with dating, however, I was having sex in these relationships and that definitely is a no no OKAY! My appetite in the past was men. Likeeeee...I was focused on relationships and seeking fulfillment in them. But let me tell you, it came to a point when the Lord said 'enough is enough,' and he convicted me so strongly and brought me back to himself. The scripture states that thinking only about this life here on earth will lead to death. It's true, imagine only having your eyes and heart set on enjoying this life but not considering what will happen to your life when you die. I was on my way to hell if it wasn't for God!
I may not know your exact situation but I know the solution. If you have read my testimony and feel that that's you the answer is Jesus. Again I say, if you've been living up to this point just concerned about what you're going to do each day without considering what your eternal life will be like then it's time to start anew. As a citizen of Heaven, I do currently live here on earth with responsibilities and duties to fulfill but my heart's focus is on being rejoined with God in Heaven!
Pray this prayer of Salvation:
" Dear God,
I acknowledge that I am a sinner.
Without you in my life I am lost.
Please forgive me of all my sins.
Come into my heart Jesus and make me WHOLE.
Fill me up Lord.
Transform me and use me for your will here on earth.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen!"
Welcome to the family of Heaven, when you prayed that prayer by faith the Holy Spirit now dwells within. Your life is not your own, it belongs to God and Jesus has made you whole by His blood that was shed your YOU. Yes, You. Now, you have to walk by faith and seek the Lord in prayer and the word of God daily. You will grow closer to the Lord this way. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: vlouis754@gmail.com.
