Brother I have to say that after watching this video I was in tears and I also was laughing I laughed when you said that Moses left for a little while and you know they made idols out of cows because that is funny I did read that and they didn't wait long but I cried because for me Easter Sunday will always and forever be the day that I found my church and it will forever and always be a part of my testimony which I plan to share with anyone who wants to listen I may just be one person so I can't make an impact on the world but I feel in my puny brain and I've been thinking about things ever since you know I just got on this quest for the Lord that you know what the church is lacking is bold faith like people who won't be scared to go out there and let people know about the gospel because we have to do that because people who are willing to go out into the world with bold faith and love for the Lord go out there and make disciplesI'm a baby so I'm just now learning all this stuff okay and I'm just not understanding all this stuff but from what I get we're supposed to be out there shouting out to everyone or maybe not shouting but at least telling everyone that we possibly can in every conversation about the Lord and if they but if they don't know about Jesus Christ we need to bring his name up and every talk we have with people and that's what I've been doing lately and of course there's been different reactions because some people actually keep coming back and they tell me I inspire them and they've been reading their Bibles and that's great and other people that I've never seen again once I brought up Jesus and that sucks but at least I've tried and who knows maybe it'll sink in it's a seat I planted and maybe the harvest will be plenty and all I know is Paul is one of my favorite people in the Bible because he seemed like he had the type of bold face that I'm becoming to understand is what we all need and I feel like I might be qualified enoughonce I truly understand the gospel well enough and don't mess up when I when I speak it I feel like I might be like Paul kind of you know and I know for a fact that I'm not ashamed to talk about Jesus it's all I've been doing thinking about him talking about him it's all I've been doing so I think that's what the church is missing and maybe that's what God's trying to do with this gender thing is spark up in US Christians we are supposed to go out there in the world and tell people we're not just supposed to sit around and wait for them to come to us we're supposed to go out there and tell people about Jesus and let them know that they need to have asked him for forgiveness and so that they can be any eternal salvation with the Lord so that whenever Jesus Christ returns we will all be in his presence every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord those of us who do it willingly and with love and understanding and believe it's those of us like me and you we will do it happily joyfully cheerfully but those who neglected the gospel are never got a chance to hear it they will do a trembling and with fright. I don't know about you but I don't want to be standing there and happy for myself but sad for my children or anyone else that I see who got a chance to hear it but didn't believe and especially don't want to be looking around a bunch of people that I don't think got a chance to hear it I want to be looking around people that I got the chance to tell and hey they listened and we're all happy as hell because we know where we're going for eternity so if the world right now is all happy about this gender dysphoria and all these problems with people trying to change their sex then guess what we as Christians have to get out there and tell people that that is not the way God intended for things to be and that all they need to do is turn to the Lord and he will save them not only will he save them from anything that they're suffering from from all the pain and reasons why they want I want to change who they are in the first place we have to let him know that he will change them because Jesus Christ has changed me or is changing me you said you can see it for yourself and trust me brother when I tell you I know I can feel it he's changing me and I love it I wish I could scream it from the rooftops and tell everybody how simple it is that all they need to do is believe in Jesus and asked me so forgiving that all you do is he'll just look at you and forgive you will forgive you and then he'll change you into who you I want to look at these people and tell them they don't have to go get a sex change they don't want to have to go and and and be upset and depressed in pain and all these things anybody who's suffering all they have to do is just ask Jesus to help him and they have to believe how are they going to ever believe if they don't even get a chance to know those are my thoughts anyway I rambled on through voice to speech text so if it doesn't make sense let me know
Look throughout the Bible God used people that you probably wouldn't never really think he would use but that's because the people that think that don't really know God I guess because he used people like Paul who was a killer of Christians who was the complete opposite of what you would think a person of great faith would be and I think he used people like that because that in itself without even a word spoken is testimony to the fact that God or Jesus can and will change the person from the inside out if you don't believe the word someone says like when they say Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior asking for for if you don't understand the words that are being spoken or you don't really know the Bible or if we're trying to tell people stuff about the Bible like me before I didn't know nothing about it now I know some things but if somebody would have said to me before like they did heylet's do the sinner's prayer together come on down to the altar get on your knees ask God for forgiveness cry and then you'll be saved all that was bologna and bulshit to me because you know what at the time I really didn't even know what a sin was I really didn't even believe in God and all this stuff was just too hot to me so but now that I've read and understood things in the Bible I feel as though the best way that you know we can spread the gospel is just through example by example by living the life like Jesus by expressing through our actions and our words and our comforting hugs to other people and are listening ears that we have or you know are are are understanding and acceptance of other people's problems and willingness to sit down with them and take time out of their day and just listen to him before we go ahead and throw things out there about God that would be the perfect way to spread the gospel because if they see us and we're aggressive and hurrying and trying to get him to like sign up for our club then they're not going to want to join but if they just witness us like my neighbors and I'll have to have seen differences in me and changes in me and so they come around and at first I think it was just so you know probably be nosy but two or three of them have come back and we've sat together and discussed the Lord it was almost like we had our own Bible study sitting outside we called it our church talking about God and reading things that we wrote about him and this was me and two other excuse me three under males whoone of them is my son's friend and two of them are other guys that I just happened to meet in my neighborhood and we had a wonderful conversation about God you know and the thing about it is I really feel like they would have maybe never even thought about God or talked about him or thought about him unless I was just nonstop consistently talking about him so maybe I'm doing it a little bit too excessively but at least I know I've helped two or three people in the last month and I feel like if more people were like me out there you know with other people in the community or churches and around a whole bunch of people you know not just two or three you know boldly declaring the Lord and just talk about him not an angry kind of way but just you know cuz I can't believe how he's changed me I can't believe how many people don't know about him and they don't focus on him because you know I just want to focus on him that's all I just want to learn about them that's all I just want to know everything about him because I love himI could never do it for myself and then all I did was ask Jesus and he's doing everything for me that I couldn't do for years and so I can't stop talking about him because I have been through hell I've been a drug addict I've been in an abusive relationship I've had children out of wedlock I've been a single mother I lost my mother I lost my father I've always been the black sheep I've been homeless I've been in jail I've been in a mental hospital I've been in almost every horrible situation that you can ever consider I've had a gun down my throat do you understand brother and the thing is I feel like I used to hate myself for that and blame myself for that and wonder why why does all this bad stuff keep happening to me I don't understand I used to yell at God why why why why why why why why and now I'm the complete opposite and that's because Jesus has turned things around for me and I got to tell people about that because I know I would not dare question God anymore I have most respect for himI understand I'll never know his ways and I'm willing to just go through whatever I have to go through and for the rest of my life even if it's never happy just because I know it's for his greater good and for his greater good of his people so if I have to suffer just so other people can be happy that's what I'll do I don't even how to know the reason why although sometimes I wish I did but then again I don't I just know that God is so awesome I praise him as much as I can now that I don't have a job I sit around here all day learning about him and just listening to gospel music I'm waiting for somebody to come knock on my door because you know I used to hate it when people would bother me all the time and come up and just want to hey
Brother I don't know if you know this about me but quite a few homeless people / drug addicts people I used to do drugs with still do drugs with whatever you want to say we'll come around and knock on my door the little back door to the house and it's pretty much a lot all the time at least one a day to a day sometimes a different person I've never seen anyway it used to and still does sometimes bother the s*** out of me because they don't really come usually bringing me things that you usually come just asking for money or seeing if I had any drugs or you know things of that nature anyways as soon as I started becoming a follower of Jesus again and basically obsessed about the Lord reading my Bible all the time as soon as God changed me into who I am now most of those people kind of stopped coming around but every time they did I didn't waste no time and mentioning Jesus because it's all I can do so it's not like I was trying to turn them around from their sinful life I mean I'm still a sinner I just did drugs the other day but I'm just being honest because the Lord says the truth shall set you free now we all just said I am trying to change these things about myself because obviously the Lord is changing me from the inside out but it starts with my heart and my thoughts and my emotions and the way I speak and things like that my things that are my bad I guess choices like drugs and addiction I don't think he's just going to immediately poof vanish those things for me because those are my things that I have to do I have to put some effort into and he has a you know give me free will like you said so of course I'm working on that with the Lord because he's the only one that can help me I figured that out since rehab or AA or jail or cold turkey or nothing like that has seem to work for me to break my addiction to drugs I know that in his time the Lord will work with me and somehow it will be broken my chain will be broken but right now in the midst of that I still get a chance because I'm learning about the Lord and I'm learning that what me and my friends are doing is wrong I get a chance to not only express my feelings to them about that being wrong but in a way that they understand and in a way that's not harmful to them because I relate to them very well because I am them and so therefore some of them run but they come back every so often because I'm a good person and you know they're in the neighborhood and they want something from me but there are others who just showed up out of nowhere in my life or we just recently met for some reason you know that God only knows and the one guy told me that I inspired him that my positive attitude about God didn't push him away it brought him back to readings Bible and now he wants to go to church with me and I think that's great so every interaction that I have when I'm talking about God the results of that will be different but at least I'm talking about God and at least the people that I used to do all this bad s*** with and still sometimes do well we get to sit down together talk about how much we and then also we talked about how we can't fix it for ourselves but we can be together and support each other and not judge each other and we can trust in the one who knows the way through the wilderness and he'll guide us through and then we just pray together and stuff like that it's great we have our own little church in my yard
LOL a church of misfits and drug addicts in my yard I hope I can get more people to come. I truly do. Because these are the type of people that like me before would not even consider an halfway got disgusted at the thought of going into a church and listening to somebody somebody preach. But I also am still going to be attending my new church Westside Baptist and asking to become a member I'm actually going tonight after I stop by the AA meeting know I go to church first then AAA church at 6:00 a.m. 7:00 maybe hillbilly misfit church at 8:00 who knows I'll quit rambling now because you know I don't know I just felt like I had to express myself to you because you're my brother and because if I ramble to you at least you won't tell me to shut the fuk up
