Be Anxious for Nothing


Are you anxious about anything right now? If you are, then I encourage you to try to find a way to stop yourself from being anxious. Jesus Christ says to be anxious for nothing and to live your life day by day. The problem with today’s society is that too many people want answers right now. God does not work this way. God answers us in His due timing. Sometimes God will answer you real fast and at other times, He will take His time. God is in no hurry because He knows the answers that we are anxious about. When we get anxious about something it’s because we are afraid that God is not going to give it to us. It can be a new possession that we are after or a new job or something that we cannot physically touch, but may want to have emotionally. No matter what it is that is causing you to be anxious, make sure that you understand that God is fully in charge. Jesus Christ really does know what is on your mind and in your heart.

The Bible tells us to be anxious for nothing because it simply will not do you any good. Worrying will not bring anything to you faster or slower. It only holds you back from trusting in God. God is truly the answer and He will provide for all of your needs. If you are too anxious about something, it’s because you have an idea, but it does not mean that it comes from God. Jesus tells us to test all spirits to see if they are from God. If you have a thought, test it. If it’s not working, then try to forget about it for now because God may not want you to have it exactly now.

Christians often get anxious to start a ministry because that means that you are a mature and successful man or women of God. However, God is in no hurry. His world is packed with ministers and He is looking to do a new work in you. He needs you to fulfill your calling and your ministry. However, you must wait upon the Lord and praise Him. Ask Him to show you knew things each and every day. Allow yourself to just let God do the walking in your life. Always stay open to what God wants for you in your life and then you will fully realize what God is saying and talking about each and every day.

How to Deal with Sin as Christians


Dig deep down inside of your heart and just ask yourself what God is really trying to say to you. If you are a Christian, then you know that He lives inside of you. That is such a deep spiritual blessing. I know that we all hurt at times and it’s hard to feel like our lives are not at the place where God wants us to be. Sometimes when we live in sin, it hurts us. It’s even worse when we feel like there is no way out of it.

Shame is probably the hardest thing that you will ever have to face in your life. As you grow older, you will realize that you have done some really stupid things. Sometimes you will be ashamed that you walked into a lifestyle that you were not to proud of and at other times you will walk into feeling like you have done so much wrong that you don’t even know who you are anymore. I have been there so many times in my life. It’s because God will give you challenges at times to test us. It’s not easy to deal with one of God’s tests. He doesn’t want to hurt us. He simply wants us to feel whole and good about what we do. We have to be open and willing to do what God wants us to do and sometimes that is not easy.

If you are ashamed of yourself for something that you have done, then I encourage you to forgive yourself. It’s not easy to forgive yourself thought and sometimes it takes years to work something out of your system that you did. In life, you will sometimes argue with people that you would rather not argue with. You may feel guilty for something that you said and your words or actions can never be forgotten by the living. We sometimes say and do things that will hurt others and we can say that we are sorry a thousand times and people will usually remind us of what we did at some point. You must understand that when we do something wrong, Jesus Christ does forgive us. Even though we do not forgive ourselves, God does forgive us. We must remember that we are here to allow Jesus Christ to help us to serve Him and to be close to him. Jesus is the answer in my opinion to all things and He does help us to grow.

It would be easy for me to just say, forgive yourself and move on. However, this post is not about a quick fix. It’s about reality. The only way to work shame and guilt out of your system is to deal with it over and over again. Then tell yourself, “He who is without sin, cast the first stone.” Jesus Christ himself said this. It’s because no matter what you have done, it’s no worse than anything someone else has done. God looks at sin as sin. Confront the guilt by writing down why you feel guilty about what you have done and tell God that you are sorry. Do this over and over again and for as long as it takes. There is no time frame on releasing your shame. At some point, you will be able to see that your sin was not the worst thing in the world as you may have thought it to be. We are living in a new era now and you are not damned to hell because Jesus Christ has forgiven you.

You may have committed a sin while you were born again and you may have even known what you were doing at the time was wrong and you did it anyway. The best advice that I can give to you is to repent. If it happened years ago, then you must go back to that place within your heart and ask God to show you why you did what you did at the time and what state of mind you were in. When we come to understand why we did what we did, then we can better forgive ourselves. Some people who have robbed a bank or a person often feel sorry about this sin. It is a sin and a bad action. However, the guilt of it will drive you insane unless you understand what you did and how you could prevent it from ever happening again. It’s true that you can never take back what you did. However, you can be sure not to do it again. People that steal often do so because they have no money and they are desperate because something has to be paid or they have been wanting something for a long time and can never see a means to obtain it legally. This sin has to do with coveting your neighbor’s wealth. You want what they want and you want it now. You must understand that God may not want you to have it for whatever reason. What pushed you over the edge to commit the act and have you truly changed from ever doing it again?

Many people that suffer from committing adultery or acts of fornication often do so because of lust. We are living in a time when people can’t stop lusting. The internet makes it so easy for people to walk porn and get attention in adult chat rooms.

As adult Christians, we are supposed to discipline this and not look. Lust only leads to action. The more that we think about something, the more we want to do it. The way to beat lust is to not enter into places where it is the strongest. It’s important to journal out your feelings, pray to God and read your Holy Bible daily. This will help you to understand this sin a lot better. I can go on for days talking about more sins. However, I want you to know that no matter what sin you are going through right now, you have got to work it out of your system so that you can enjoy the freedom that God has for you. The devil will constantly remind you of your sin until you deal with it. I encourage you to deal with your sin today if you have not started already. Memories can last for years until we at last deal with them.

Developing Your Daily Christian Walk with Jesus


As I sat down and read the Holy Bible today, I realized how much God loved me. He was truly working in my best interest and He showed me how much he loved me and how much he just wanted to show me that directly. Every single time that I have read the Holy Bible, I have gotten something out of it. I have been reading the Holy Bible for nearly 23 years. I’m amazed that out of all the years that I have read it, I have learned something new from it each and every time. That’s why it is and always will be the inspired word of God. It’s amazing how far we have come since the days of the Old Testament. It’s hard to believe at one time God would punish severely against His people. Today, we are forgiven so easily through Jesus Christ and its something that I cherish deeply inside of my heart. God has a good message for all of us to follow. We all have to learn about the New Testament and how Jesus saved us all and set us free. I enjoy blogging about Jesus because he is truly the Lord of all and the messiah. He makes me feel free to learn about him each and every day. I have learned that God loves us all and that we are here to worship and praise him.

It’s a shame when people cannot fully see their value here on planet earth. We are living in a day in age where people are able to question there own existence and research about it using the internet, books, videos and just about anything that you can possibly think of. When you reach your 30’s, something inside of you is just going to hit. You are going to say to yourself that money doesn’t really matter because it doesn’t buy happiness. That’s the most important lesson that I ever had to learn. Money is probably the root of all evil and its true that God wants us to take life seriously. After all, we will be spending eternity with Him.

Money is something that you need to pay bills with. As Christians, we are not supposed to save our money. I am a firm believer in this. Jesus said to not hide what He gives to us under a bushel. Please don’t misunderstand what I am saying. I know that we need money for things. However, when you become obsessed with saving your money because you don’t trust in God to provide for you, then it becomes a problem in your faith. I have tried my entire life to save money and I was never able to. However, when I needed the money, God just gave it to me. When I couldn’t afford something, I prayed about it and if it was God’s will, and then He would provide for me the means to obtain it.

In my twenties I was hoping to become rich so that I could build my own church and my own homeless shelter. I now realize after all of these years, that God never wanted me to build my own church or homeless shelter. I have lived long enough to realize that God said that we (our bodies) are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Church has gone over-exaggerated by its big expensive buildings that cost thousands of dollars to build. I am actually happy that a lot of churches are being shut down. You may think that it is a sin for me to say that. However, I look at this differently. I think that it’s a sin for people to think that they are not a temple. Church has become a form of entertainment for a lot of Christians. It’s supposed to be a place where you come together and worship God with other Christians. However, there is so much lying and back stabbing that goes on in the church that people are simply fed up with it. Many Americans do not go to church anymore. People are hurting and abandoning our churches. This is a direct message to the spiritual state of our church. This means that people are finding that some Christians are acting just like people on the outside who are not Christian. This has to stop. I’m happy that God is not allowing churches to build and to hurt others. I think that church is a great thing if you use it for the purposes that it was created for. I think it’s great if you need to hear the word of the Lord from a preacher or a minister of God. However, I think that it’s terrible when people go home and don’t read their Holy Bibles, pray or worship God on their own. Their true temple (body) is not being fed anything. Their spirits are not learning anything and that is sad to me. Christianity has come a long way since the days that Jesus walked the earth.

I think that God has a much bigger plan for us.

The most important thing in the ministry is not to take credit for God’s work. God has a plan for us and it may not even be something that we ever could have imagined. There was a time in my life when I thought that I was going to be a pastor of a major church and write many books. If you would have told me in 1991 that I would be typing away on a computer and touching thousands of lives daily, then I would have told you that you were crazy. The idea of the internet did not even make sense to me in the year 1991 because it was not even around yet. It was before Google was ever even invented. When you blog about anything online, you are simply touching people in one way or another. True Christianity is sharing your faith somehow with the people around you that need to hear God’s message. If God truly wants you to be a full time minister, He will provide for you some way. Don’t think that the traditional paycheck is the only way to worship and serve God. You can do it in so many ways and actually learn from it. I have learned from God in so many ways and I’m happy to say that God touched my life in many different ways.

Don’t get caught up in today’s high profile lives of flashy ministries. That does not come from God. It comes from the devil. Some ministers want to live flashy lives and that is not what God wants. I admit that I am guilty of buying myself some expensive things, but its still sin. No matter how you look at it, God does not want us to parade around with our wealth and be flashy. He actually wants us to live quiet lives of love and peace with our fellow brothers and sisters. The New Testament teaches us that if we have a brother or sister that is amongst us that has nothing, then we are supposed to take care of them. It’s a shame when a church is brining in the millions and using that money to only buy million dollar homes and fancy cars. There is a time when a minister just has to say no and question if He is truly representing God properly. It’s just like the internet, no matter what we do, we must be held accountable for how we are representing God.

I think that Loneliness is something that a lot of people have to deal with daily as a Christian. It’s not easy to be a Christian because we usually fail at what God really wants us to do. We can get lonely when we feel that we have reached a point in our Christianity when we feel like we are a leader and everyone else around us is immature. It can be a real lonely place. There are stages in spirituality that you will only learn as God teaches it to you. Leaders often find themselves feeling lonely. Many times Jesus found it to be difficult because He was often alone. He often had to pray by himself because his decuples around Him didn’t know what He meant. It was a lonely place for Jesus Christ to be in. I’m happy that the internet is around because many times God will lead someone to a spiritually mature friend who may know a lot about maturity. That friend can be the one person to boost you up.

We serve a living God. He is real and is alive today. I can testify that I have served Jesus for the past 23 years of my life and He has never abandoned me. I have had to fight some really tough battles. However, I always told God that I only wanted to do His will. I never thought in a million years that God would make me into a prophet and have me work online. However, I can see why He is doing it. It’s because the Internet is becoming the worlds most important resource for business, making money, reading, entertaining and watching videos. People are spending more time online then in their living rooms watching television. We are a changing society today. It is clear that the internet is here to stay and that the World Wide Web is not going anywhere anytime soon. Just pray and ask Jesus to help you to serve Him properly. As you search your soul and find what God is calling you to be and do, I encourage you to pray and read your New Testament daily. It will truly lead you closer to God every single day of your life!

My Saddness Brought Me to Jesus


Every day that I study the word of God, I am reminded of God’s grace on my life. It’s amazing that God has truly forgiven me for all of my sins and the sins that I presently make daily. I am happy to say that I am a saved Christian and it’s because of Jesus that I can even have a relationship with God. After reading the Old Testament, I am so happy that I did not have to live under the old covenant laws. It was almost impossible to live by. All of the details about what you should and should not do. The punishments back then were so hard to bare. Even disobeying your parents meant death in the Old Testament laws. I am happy to say that because of Jesus, I can love and not get thrown into hell for breaking God’s laws. It’s a tough battle to be a Christian because you have to literally fight evil daily. However, I feel good because I am free from going to hell. I think that dying and going to hell is everyone’s worst nightmare. With Jesus, you don’t have to worry about that because we can literally get saved by just asking Jesus Christ into our lives right now. Just say, Lord Jesus, come into my life and you are saved.

When I got saved at 13, I had no idea what I was even doing. I just knew that I needed to have a savior. I need to know that God was real and that He loved me. It wasn’t until I received Jesus as my Lord and savior that I fully realized that I was indeed saved. There were many inborn sins that I have had to deal with in my life over the years. Most of them were hard. I didn’t want to follow in the steps of my father who died when he was just 36 years old of alcoholism. I had to make a choice to either follow Jesus or let myself fall into my father’s sins and his father’s sins. I did not want to live under a generational curse. I wanted to break free from this. I of course was a quiet kid and didn’t have many friends. I was alone because I had a lot of tragedy in my early days as a youth growing up. We sometimes can go into a lonely state when we allow ourselves to. Sometimes you have to ask yourself why you are doing half of the things that you are doing.

As a young child, I was not good in sports and kids are not easy on teaching you how to be good at them either. I really didn’t excel in anything. It’s hard to be a young boy and want to be good at something and you can’t. Millions of boys feel this way in today’s society and it’s hard to fit in with kids your own age. It depressed me so bad that I didn’t want to live anymore when I turned 13. I remember feeling very depressed and not knowing where or who to turn to. My life seemed like it was headed for disaster.

When I was 13, I just wanted to escape my pain. I had just lost my father to alcoholism and I had a step-father that I really didn’t see eye to eye with. It was such a sad story that I was dealing with and I hurt about it for years. My mom was a bit on the controlling side and talking to a counselor was out of the question. I heard some kids in my junior high school talking about drugs and smoking pot. I never had an interest in it, but they seemed like they used it to escape reality. I didn’t know where to turn. The week before I was about to buy drugs, I had a friend from school that went to a born again church a lot. He asked me if I wanted to go to his church. At first I said no and then around 3 days later, I said ok.

I walked into this Episcopal born again church and I saw people speaking in tongues and praying to Jesus like I never saw before. I grew up Catholic and so this was all so foreign to me. I thought that I was in some whacked out place because everyone seemed like they were praising God really weird. I didn’t feel like I fit in. However, I went back to that church again because at first I was very lonely and hungry to find something that I can learn from. Something that was able to change my life. That’s when I found Jesus Christ. I realized that he was going to be the one person inside of my life who was going to change it. I started to attend weekly church visits and I went on a few retreats. However, what really brought me close to God is reading the New Testament. I realize that with the New Testament, I could find the answers that I was looking for and I sure enough did. It became one of the only books that I ever read in my youth. Everyday I would spend hours and hours talking to God in prayer and I developed a very strong relationship with Him. I feel that it has grown tremendously over the years and He still helps me out every single day of my life. I am happy to say that I am a Christian.

What Does Being Born Again Really Mean for Christians?


Modern day Christianity is about working sin outside of your body. This is the born again experience. Our physical bodies and spirits want us to do certain things that may later on hurt us. These of course are the sins of the “flesh.” These sins can lead us into hurting ourselves and others.

As Christians, we should not worry about sin forcing us to go into hell. Once we become believers in Jesus Christ, we have salvation. Jesus is the way and the truth. God understands what we need and so it’s important for us to just ask God to help us to find the truth that we are seeking daily and to fully examine our own intentions as far as what we want and need. We need to be honest with ourselves.

As a Christian, I have learned that the more I go away from God’s laws, the more I run into trouble. This is in all areas of my life. When you don’t obey God’s laws, then you of course hurt yourself and the people all around you. There is no way that we can possibly obey all of God’s laws because we keep on sinning over and over again. There is no law that should be obeyed more than another. However, when we don’t obey God’s laws, we also cannot get close to Him or even understand Him. Understanding God is obeying his commandments to the best of our abilities.

The Holy Bible clearly says that we should not do many things. However, every human being seems to pick on one of the laws more than the other. One person may think that adultery is the worst sin and another may say that homosexuality is. Another may say that abortion is the worst or not taking off from work on the Sabbath. We as Christians must all admit that we are guilty of breaking a law from time to time and it’s not easy to obey all of God’s laws. Jesus came to save us from the law. What does this mean?

This means that God will not look at our life on judgment day and say, “you are guilty.” When God looks at a Christian on judgment day, he will simply judge their heart to see if they truly accept and believe in the salvation of Jesus Christ.

True Christianity is trying to follow God’s laws to the best of our abilities and by loving another person. Some laws are impossible to follow in today’s society because of our own government laws and at one time people did obey these laws. In the Old Testament, God commanded his people to stone adulterers to death and to not work on the Sabbath. These laws were strict and meant business. In today’s society, we do not see this happening. It’s our job as Christians to obey God’s laws and his love. When we read the Holy Bible, the Holy Spirit will speak to you because the Bible is the living word. It’s important to do what the Holy Spirit is teaching you and telling you about.

It’s not easy to obey God because He often tells us to do things that we may not fully understand. Through Jesus, we are all saved as Christians.

Some people cannot fully understand how we can just have salvation by just believing in the Lord and savior Jesus Christ. However, the Holy Bible is clearly saying that if you believe in Jesus, you will have salvation. Many Christians try to complicate this and confuse Jesus’ love for us. They want to try and earn their salvation. Some Christians believe that if you are sinning, then you are going to burn in hell. However, the Holy Bible doesn’t say that. It simply says that all who believe in Jesus Christ will be saved. This means that you are free from going to hell. You will never see hell if you are a Christian. Jesus Christ teaches us to love one another. If you follow the laws of love, then you have obeyed all of God’s commandments. How do you follow the laws of love?

You must ask yourself every time that you do an action or say something that it is out of love. If even one of the things that you are doing is unloving, then you are guilty of ALL of God’s laws. This is what the New Testament says. God is very specific when he says this. We are all guilty of breaking God’s laws on a daily basis. That’s why it’s so important for us to do the right thing all of the time. We have to do what is right in the eyes of God daily in order for things to turn out well for us. You cannot say that this one is right or this one is wrong. When you start pointing the finger at others, then you are just as guilty as they are. Remember what the Bible says. If you have broken one of God’s commandments, then you have broken them all.

Does this mean that you should just go out and sin right now? No it does not mean that. You should obey God’s laws because you love Him. Not because you have to. In the Old Testament, you had to obey God’s laws or else you would be killed or go to hell. In Christianity, you are free from the law of sin and death. We instead live free lives in Jesus Christ and live by love instead of law. However, we obey God’s laws because we love God and because He knows what’s right for us. God wrote the laws for a reason and God’s laws protect us. When we follow God’s laws, we please Him. However, the truth in Christianity is that God wants us to just love. For a clear understanding of Love, please read 1 Corinthians 13.

In the early days of Christianity, there was no Holy Bible and Christians were taught about Jesus by word of mouth and they were all taught how to love. This is what pleases God the most. Loving our neighbor unconditionally will help us to obey God. When you learn how to love unconditionally, you won’t have any need for the laws of God because you will know what to do inside of your heart. We no longer live under the laws of sin and death. We now learn love. Love is putting others before you and respecting and honoring God. It is about giving. As long as you put another person before yourself at all times, then you love. When we act selfish and mean, we are simply not pleasing God and not acting in love.

The reason why I say this is because many people around the world do not have scriptures or can afford to buy a Holy Bible. This has always been the case. Some Christians in different parts of the world has never owned a Bible or have ever read one and yet they are still Christians. This is because salvation is a free gift and Jesus’ life said all about love. When you have mastered love, then you have fully obeyed God and you won’t have to worry about breaking any of God’s commandments. He is after all saving you because of Jesus and not because of your good works. I want you to go out today and do good deeds for every person that you meet. This way you will honor God. Do not try to master every one of God’s laws because you won’t be able to. I have tried it in my walk with God over the past 30 some years of my life. It simply does not work. What does work is loving people and not being selfish. Don’t put yourself before others. If you want to make God happy, then simply love. God is love. The Holy Bible is here as an aid to help you to learn what love actually is because most people don’t know what it is. It’s sometimes hard to learn. I’m still learning it even after all of these years in Christianity. I am writing this so that you understand that in order for you to be a Christian, you have to love first. You cannot serve two masters. You must either love God or money. What does this mean?

This means that if money is your God, then you will do everything to serve yourself first. You will hesitate to give to the poor and to the needy and this will greatly displease God. You of course should take care of your needs and your families needs first. However, if you are banking all of your money to build more wealth and greed, then this is not putting God first. Remember to take care of your needs and your brothers and sisters needs. This is what God’s love is. Give away as much as you can and don’t worry about how you will feed yourself or clothe yourself on a daily basis. Just say your prayers daily and let God worry about your retirement and saving money. Put your worries in God’s hands and just do what you can each and every day. This way you will love your brothers and sisters first. Don’t listen to evangelists that tell you to store up all of your money in some bank account somewhere like they do. This is not God’s will. God didn’t give you money so that you can tuck it away somewhere and worry about your retirement some day. He gave you money to use it on expenses that you have and your brothers and sisters have. You should only keep what you need and give the rest of it away.

Did you know that most people that save for retirement, usually loose all of their money before they are actually dead? Most people die with just a few thousand dollars in the bank and a house or some property and furniture. No matter how much they tried to stash their money away, it seemed to have just slipped them by. If you feel you need to hold onto some money for something that you are looking to buy or save up for, then that is different. However, trust God for everything and don’t think that your money can save you. We have been taught all wrong in America. We are taught from childhood to save all of our money for retirement and don’t spend money on those that are in need. We are taught that giving $1.00 a week to our church is the most secure way to giving. Many people can afford to give at least $20.00 a week to church and they don’t because they fear that God will not supply for their needs. They would rather stick that money in the bank for a rainy day or save it in their 401K plan or IRA account. This is our American mentality. If you are guilty of this, then you can change your behavior. Remember what the Bible says, your money will not be able to save you in God’s judgment.

Don’t just throw your money out the window either. Use wisdom and good judgment. If you have no clue what that is, then please get with a brother or sister in Christ that does. Remember to trust in the Lord and do not lean on your own understanding. Hopefully I have made myself clear. God bless you!

Your Money will Not Be able to Save You


As Christians, we are all called to follow and obey the Lord’s commandments. However, we no longer have to follow them to get into heaven because Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. Let us not forget that salvation is a free gift. We cannot force our way into heaven. Believing that Jesus Christ died for your sins is the only way that we can enter heaven.

Are you asking yourself then why should you be good? Why should you follow God’s commandments? Why should you do anything that the Holy Bible instructs you to do? It’s because it will bring you closer to God.

If you try to live your life doing whatever you feel like, it will have consequences. You will offend people. Just because you may think that something should be run a certain way does not mean that another person will feel the same way. That is why everyone in the world should just follow the Holy Bible so that we are all on the same page of music.

For instance, there was a time in the United States of America when marriage was considered to be a Holy Sacrament and people actually respected marriage. Women did not sleep around with men freely and men felt shame for taking advantage of women. People actually waited to get married in order to have relations.

In today’s society, people are practicing free love. People are basically doing whatever they feel like. Free love is seen on television, internet and real life. The attitude that I here constantly is, “its cool.” It’s cool to do whatever you want and however you want. What’s wrong with this philosophy and can it work? My answer is no.

It cannot work because everyone has a different idea of love and how it will perform for them in their lives. What works for one person will not work for another. This only causes more chaos and hurt. Half of our nation is stuck without a partner. We have a 50% divorce rate and people are just sleeping around with whoever they want. Most people today do not care if a person is married or not. Their attitude is, “hey, if they want to sleep around on their spouse, then its there business.” There is no care for the feelings of the other spouse that is being victimized. Basically, this is a lack of love and care for another human being. Our society is falling short of love for one another. This basically means that mankind is developing the attitude of, “every man for himself and I will do whatever I want.” This only leads to a corrupt society and a breakdown of everything in a society’s culture. This means that if people don’t love or care about their fellow brother or sister, then they will not care about them in business either. This means that business owners will not care about their workers and will say, “I will take more money for myself and give them less.” There is no care for your fellow brother or sister. Only love of money and self. This is why the Holy Bible says, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” It only leads to corruption.

When people don’t have enough money to survive, they tend to steal murder and just take what they want. This leads to the breakdown of a culture and a society. It looks like the United States of America is there now. We have reached a point where most people are lovers of themselves. We still have some people who are willing to follow the Holy Bible and do what God wants them to do. However, the numbers are shrinking.

The Holy Bible says that in the last days, man will be lovers of them and will become worse and worse. It looks like we have reached that level on many degrees. I cannot say that we are there 100% yet because there is still love left in the world. However, America and other countries like America are reaching levels of broken economies. The economy in the United States is getting worse because the major leaders of the American companies don’t care about paying their workers fair and hire wages. Most business leaders are out to make as much as they can and they don’t care if they have to outsource their work to foreign nations. They would rather let the American worker starve than to pay them a fair wage. It’s easier to hire someone from another nation for a fraction of the cost of what it would cost to hire someone from their own land. It’s getting easier to do this because of the invention of the internet and computers.

The world is changing and America is also changing. We are living in a day in age where we will see many Americans moving out of the United States and into foreign nations where they can live for cheaper. This doesn’t mean that the living conditions will be better, but it will be affordable for them to live. Other nations will begin to come into the United States and take us over. Why? It’s because their economies are growing because American businesses are outsourcing their work to cheaper labor. This will have a domino effect. What is the end result in all of this?

The end result in all of this will be the companies making less money because Americans won’t be able to afford to buy the products that we are trying to sell. We are going to see a swapping going on in the United States. The United States citizens are going to be forced to sell their properties to foreigners and to foreign nations. Why? It’s because they will have the money to afford to buy it. Their businesses will be booming and they will want to own a piece of the pie on American soil. This will eventually mean that America will no longer be owned by Americans. It will now be owned by the rest of the world and Americans will become slaves to the rest of the nations around the world. Why?

It’s because they will not be able to afford to pay for their houses and eventually these foreign nations will begin to buy out American businesses and American workers will not be able to survive on the work that is here because it will not pay enough. We will become a new America. Right now we are in transition of this. This is why the house market has declined and no matter what the government tries to do now to stop it, it will simply not work.

Does this mean that we are under a curse? In a way, you can say that we are. Americans have brought this upon themselves and this seems to be a curse with no turn around. Why? It’s because the problem is so great that we have lost touch with ourselves and with love for mankind? What can you do?

You need to get on your hands and knees daily and thank God for his blessings. Don’t worry about saving money because money will soon be scarce in this country. You must try to live day by day as the Holy Bible says. It will be the only way for your survival as the years go by. Most Americans are not earning nearly as much as they should to pay for the homes that this country has. It will get worse and the foreign nations will buy up our land and our properties and we will in return be slaves to foreign nations. This all happened because we failed to love one another as Jesus Christ loved us and we failed to obey God’s laws and his commandments. Even our youth are disobeying God’s laws. Free love seems to be the way that most people want to handle their intimate lives and that is ruining the hearts of mankind.

You can expect your children to work for foreign nations and to be owned by their businesses men and women. Your only way out of this is to ask God to lead you to something that will allow you to be free from this curse. There is a curse on our land and its here because we are not obeying God. It’s already begun. My personal feeling is that the United States will not be able to survive itself for very long. I believe that we will get owned by foreign nations who will change our laws and our freedom. When foreign nations begin to occupy our business and our land, they can then begin to make new laws. Once we loose our money, we loose our power to other foreign nations. You may be saying that this could never happen.

However, take a drive across America and you will see that most American families are hurting financially. There will only be a few powerful rich people. The rest of the world will be owned by these foreign nations. It’s starting to happen already. These foreign countries are beginning to buy American companies. My only suggestion to you is to pray and ask God to give you a job that will keep you safe and well fed. You should not worry about how you will eat or clothe yourself. However, ask God to provide for you and He will.

Jesus Doesn't Make Failures


At times you will feel like a complete failure. I know that many times in my life, I have felt that it has been too tough for me and often to challenging. When I was a child, I used to think that life would be a piece of cake. I thought that everyone just automatically got a job and a house to live in. I had no idea that things would be this complicated. However, I can fully understand it when people feel like they want to give up on their dreams. I believe that a dream starts out inside of our heart and God allows the dream to come out a little bit different in the end than what we may have expected it to be.

Living your life one day at a time is the best way to live life. If you expect too much out of it, you will often get disappointed over and over again. Life is about disappointments and feeling as though you just don’t know what to make out of it. Sometimes life can really bring you down because people will often tell you what they think life should be all about.

I think that most people value their life in terms of wealth. However, God does not. Jesus is powerful and He is the Lord of our life. If He wanted all of His people to be financially rich, then He would have given us all lots of money. However, the Holy Bible says that God made the rich and the poor alike. This is so true and extremely powerful. I believe that God did make the rich and the poor alike because He wanted to show us that money is not everything.

You have to ask yourself what you would be doing different right now if you had all of the money in that you needed. I know that every person must have said this at least once to you. However, I believe that it’s important that we take a cold hard look at this and really feel what it would be like to have more money and more things. Would your life really be that much different than it is right now?

If you have children and you have dreams of giving those lots of money some day, then I must tell you to scratch this idea from your head. I say this because life is both long and short at the same time. Your children have to have a purpose in their lives and when they have too much; they actually loose a sense of that purpose.

I left home when I was just 18 years old and I literally had nothing. No money, no job and it was all based on faith. I walked with faith and because of it; I was able to build a relationship with God that is so strong that most people wonder how I can always be so positive and full of so much faith. It’s because of all of the life experiences that I have had with our creator. Don’t try to take your children’s life lessons away. Give your kids what you can, but don’t take away from them the spiritual messages of our Lord. Always ask God what has to be done next and just do it. You will be so happy that you just did what God asked you to do.

Remember that you don’t have to be someone else’s hero. All that you have to be is someone that truly wants to give to others and to share the love of Jesus with all those that truly want to receive a blessing from God. Remember that God has a set plan for each person’s life and we cannot live if for them. We have to live our own life by just taking things one day at a time and only doing what we feel God has asked and called us to do. It’s important to follow the word of the Lord each and every day. Read the Holy Bible and just ask Jesus for direction. He will guide you each and every day. Lastly, don’t consider wealth to be a measure of your purpose in life. You are worth so much more than that!
