What does God wants?

The last time I posted was last October 7th, I mentioned about redirecting my life to God. Ever since that day, I question what it is God wants me to do? I asked God to take control of my life and everything in my life...yet there are times when it is hard to let go. I am sure that this is what everyone feels at times. Lately I have been feeling a little off, a little blue, even when everything is fine and there is joy surrounding me, I still felt discontented. At this time the one that I depend on is the Lord, asking him to renew my strength, to help me be able to let go and handle everything.

I have been putting off everything and not deciding on anything, hoping that the Lord will help me decide. I found through scriptures and going to church that all he wants me to do is to sit, endure and wait patiently.

On another note: This month is thanksgiving month, I will try to post everything that I am thankful for each week.
I hope everyone knows that this past week there was a Hurricane that hit New York City, well I live in New York, I am thankful that the Lord had safe me and my family from any harm. I am thankful that God has always provided all of our needs.

Even though I do not know what God wants from me, I am reminded through Micah that all God wants for us is based upon the fruit of the spirits, to do all the things that are good and leave the bad behind while obeying God.

My question when ever I hear or read "obey God" always leads me back to the question...what is it do you want me to obey God? 

For now doing what is right, being kind to others and live humbly is what I will continue doing until I know for sure what it is God wants me to do.

This is the bible Quote for the day"
The Lord has told you, human, what is good; he has told you what he wants from you: to do what is right to other people, love being kind to others, and live humbly, obeying your God?

Micah 6:8

 

Accepting Christ all over again

Hello everyone, I am sorry that I haven't posted anything for a very long while. I have been very busy lately with school and work. I want to be truthful to everyone today. My walk to faith or should I say my walk to Christ has been semi-off course. I have actually been dealing with so many problem lately with my family and with my church. I actually feel tired. I put up a front showing everyone that everything is alright but in the end it is not alright. I felt like nothing is going alright, I feel lost with no direction to go, I felt like I was losing my faith. But do you know what kept me going? The Lord and the people that I surround myself with. I am glad I go to a Christian based school, I am glad I have many christian friends. Lately I have been crying out to the Lord and talking to the Lord (out loud...in the middle of the street), asking him to take control of  my life. Today I felt the need of God presence to be around me, I could not find it in my church, so I left, walked out, I kept walking (even with my blistered feet) and ended up at Times Square Church. I came in, alone, not knowing anyone, in pain (literary because of my feet) but by God's grace I was there. I thank God I was there, I was amazed at the testimonies that I have heard from a few of the people there. Today and at that time, I accepted God again, I accepted him to redirect my life, to take control of my life. Walking with the Lord means that you have to give your whole life to him. I am learning to give my whole Life to Him. I am learning to forgive and to love others even my enemies. I am learning to be patient and to have self control. I also learned that religion cannot save us only God can save us. It is going to be a tough road, with many obstacles but God will always be there to lend a hand. It will be hard to forgive others who have wrongfully treated us but I know we can do it with God's help. I am learning that now. I also want to tell you the most important thing that many christian must do besides reading the bible of course, it is to pray. I challenge those who read this blog to pray, find a time to just thank God and Glorify him, ask him for forgiveness. Make prayer as a part of your daily lives.
I think that is about it for now.
This is my road to faith....it is an unending journey and I know that the Lord is with me and you  and He will lead us to a path filled with many possibilities and greater future.

The Bible Quote For today is from  John 10: 27-29  My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

The Three Step Program For Christians

I would like to tell you about the greatest program that is basically free, came with no charge and will help you in life, its a three step program in order to get closer to God. This program can be for anyone.

The First step is to pray for forgiveness of all your sins and accept Him into your life.
The Second step is to read the bible everyday. (The bible is basically your Guide Book)
The Third Step is to go to church and worship Him through music and prayers. 

If you do this you will live an everlasting life. I am not saying that you will gain wealth in the physical sense but you will be wealthy in Christ. My daily reminder is to do everything for the LORD, this way you will always be satisfied.
To be a Christian does not mean that we would not suffer but it does mean that we would not suffer alone. I say this because there will always be someone that will always be there no matter what, He is our Loving and forgiving Lord God, Jesus Christ.


Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk to a friend of mine from one of my class, I am thankful for this friend of mine I think she is an angel sent from God to remind me that prayers are one of the strongest weapon that a christian have in any battlefield. I have actually talked to another friend about the same thing and she also says the same thing. They both ask me do you pray? I tell them yes of course I pray, My family have always done a bible and prayer group kind of thing. Okay, but do you pray alone? when they ask me this I ask alone? I have always been taught and reminded about Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."  But what I have forgotten to do to bring me closer to God is to pray by myself, pouring everything to the Lord. That is what I must do and that is what everyone must do.


So my assignment that I am giving myself and basically those who reads this blog is to pray, either by yourself if you have realized that is what you haven't been doing, or join a prayer group or prayer meeting with others. Prayer is powerful it is the most powerful weapon that we as Christians have.


My Bible Quote for this week is from Matthew 18:20  "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."


P.S I know I have said that I would include interviews and testimonies of people's road to faith and how they had accepted the Lord and had overcome struggles, I will don't worry.

The Journey Has begun

How is everyone's holiday? I'm back and it's a brand New year and I'm hoping for a brand new Me. Putting the past in the past, and giving faith a try this year. I have no idea why but ever since the holiday, I have had a great pull to go inside a church and just pray to God and cry out to Him. Lately, that is what I have been doing, a lot of prayers. I want to try to figure out if God is calling me into the ministry, and I also what to find out if  it is truly God that is talking to me.
I know I may have sound like a crazy lunatic who is hearing things but I'm not. I spend half of the early morning reading my bible. One night I think I had just only about probably 2 hours of sleep, I was awaken from a disturbing dream...well I wouldn't say disturbing but it was an odd dream. In this dream I saw that even though I tried to go towards my own path, I ended up in a path that I think God and of course my parents wants me to be in. I prayed to him asking him what that dream had meant, still no answers...
So I took my bible and read from Genesis all the way to Exodus and read about the story of Noah to Abraham to Moses and ending with Joseph, showing their own road to faith and to God. I saw that even when they have sinned God had still forgiven them, I also found out that even when they tried to go off on their own God had still remembered them and brought them back into His path. I wonder why I have happened to come across these passages, what is it that God is trying to tell me? Does he want me to keep me in the school that I'm in and in the major in which i have chosen or am I to give all that up and start a new different direction? I'm confuse yet at peace because I have finally prayed and sacrifice my whole life to Him, and if it is His will that I become his Servant of God I know he will point me in the right direction.
I wonder how had God called many ministers into the ministry?

Question of faith

The question of faith rely on one's believe that there is something greater in the works for the living. Believing that we are not alone in this world. I sometimes question myself, "what is it that God wants me to with my life?" I've always tried to please my parents and other people around me by doing the things that they want me to do. What I have never truly done is do something that God wants me to do. This coming New Year what I want to do is to follow God's path for my life, by first praying to God and asking Him to lead and Guide me into the right path. I have recently felt that my life seems meaningless, even though I came from a Preacher's family; My father the minister, my mother, the preacher's wife and my two siblings. Our family should have the strongest faith in Christ but yet as Christians we seem to falter at times. I know that Faith is believing and trusting in the one and only God. Faith is what everyone should have regardless of our economical backgrounds. Faith is hope in the good things to come.

My journey is to find the true meaning of faith and hope. Maybe by interviewing strangers and those around me I can find the true meaning of faith and hope.
