Finally I think I'm getting It!

[~Amped88~]

Recently I have had a lot of struggles. I have not posted on these forums for awhile now. Why?? To put it to where a caveman can understand, I thought i could handle life my way. Did i turn away from God? No I didn't. I have been going to church every Sunday just about and trying to encorporate the preachers teachings to my daily life. One out of seven days.....I believed i was ok.

My family life started to crumble......nothing horrible in todays standards but bad enough to where there was fueding and arguing over small things, past issues and relationships my wife and I had etc.....

I am in the military and today i have had 24 hours to think about my life. I also received all my college books today which was supposed to suck my day up in an instant. For some reason i brought my bible along with me today and then......BOOM!!!!!! When i wasn't looking God I feel was talking to me.

Here is part of what i emailed my wife:



Ephesians 4:21-24 … to me it means I need to strip off all my old bad habits, throw away this shell that is over me and its time for my light to shine through every second of every minute of every day. I no longer need my bad habits and ways of doing things, because God is with me. I need to trust that he will give me wisdom and strength. I need his wisdom to remember the words that I read out of the Bible. I need his strength to endure anything I might recognize as trials.


Ephesians 4:25-32…. I need to STOP swearing and using cuss words in every way. I need to NOT be angry anymore, because God has commanded me to. Not because I hurt your feelings, or make the kids feel bad. I need to stop because God said so! In turn you and the kids won’t have to go through any hardship. Bitterness wrath anger clamor and evil speaking needs to be layed to rest….for GOOD! I need to be the man God has created me to be and throw away the sin and old body Satan was molding me to be.

Right now i feel the flame in which i haven't had in many years....i have told others before that i had this flame, but i know it wasn't what it was supposed to be. I was not surrendering myself to God. Today because I prayed to the Lord and asked for his forgiveness, I know he placed this small flame of fire that is reaching to every distant parts of my soul!

I need this new feeling of Christ to be with me every second of every day...Please pray for me that this fire keeps burning and never ever gets extinguished! Thank you all for reading my post. God Bless!

Praise the Lord!

I feel like the church is being awakened. Myself included... A revival is here undercover... It seems that instead of big revival meetings, everyone is being touched by the Bible on the inside and we are finally seeing the light!

Praise God!

And Newsweek is busy printing articles about the demise of Christianity.

I suggest you send a copy of your post to Newsweek. Let them see God is not dead.

Just read your testimony~really beautiful2see the Holy Spirit acting as a spiritual surgeon-cutting away the dangerous areas that poison relationships. Its great to see a new Dad or Mom, husband or wife, son or daughter, friend or neighbor after He's done with us... Rely on Him2help you continue growing in Him. You must be filled w/the Spiri.t2remain that new person... Let Isaiah 61 be true in your life~the Holy Spirit upon you, nothing less, nothing more. And let His Word fill you as the Spirit leads you. ~Sean
