My Battle With Fear


Every since I was very little, I dealt with severe anxiety and fear. To this day I am tempted to be afraid and lose track of where I am headed... but I am completely free now. Watch the video above to see what happened. There is NO FEAR IN LOVE! GOD IS LOVE!


Jesus, 
show us that You are Love. And to the deepness of it... let us understand why we are here. Show us Your glory, Lord. Forgive us for what we did and help us move on! I rebuke the devil away from us in JESUS NAME! I plead the blood of JESUS CHRIST over every reader and their struggles and temptations in JESUS NAME! We are more than conquerors! I send angels to protect and minister to every reader and their families, businesses, and futures in JESUS NAME! NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST US SHALL PROSPER IN JESUS NAME! FEAR LEAVE IN JESUS NAME! OCD LEAVE IN JESUS NAME!  AMEN!

The DeathTrap of Sin




From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day. The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
Lamentations 1:13, 14 KJV

Jesus, show us what You mean. Sin has tried to hurt us. Free us Lord. We are free in Jesus name by Your blood! I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over us in Jesus name! I rebuke the devil away from us in JESUS NAME! Amen.

Real

I'm going to ask you a pretty tough question.. a question to make you think...

What's holding you back?

It could be anything. For me, something that has been holding me back for much too long is the habitual sin of overeating. We all have struggles. What is yours? I'm not asking you to tell me.. I'm asking you to really be real with yourself.
So what if other people do it too... This isn't about them. This is about you.. and what separates you from true joy with Jesus. Nothing holding you... us... back.

It's hard to move forward with weights holding us down. We have to hand them to Jesus... they don't hinder Him. He wants us.. and in order to get to us.. He has to tare the thick veil between us and Him.

Whatever sits on the throne of your life... if it's not Jesus... it needs to go. It's not a religious thing. It's the fact that nothing can satisfy our hearts... truly satisfy without any lack... except Jesus. It is good to have things like...food(or whatever it is that is between Jesus and you).. but when food becomes the god of your life instead of Jesus... there's trouble....

We can't let the devil deceive us. We were made to be free in the LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST. But that doesn't mean we use this freedom to do whatever it is we please. Yes, if we ask for forgiveness of our sin... Jesus forgives and forgets the sin.. it's wiped away clean as if it was never there to begin with... But if we use and abuse this grace... it's betrayal to Jesus.

Let's find the ROOT to our weariness.. dig it up.. and burn it.. Let our roots be in Jesus.. and nothing else.

"As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God." 
(1 Peter 2:16 KJV)

There are certainly many more things I am working on besides overeating.. this is just an example. 
If you need any personal help with whatever it is that you are struggling with.. You can contact me by emailing me: forChrist97@gmail.com
I'm not saying that I can fix it... only Jesus can do that. Fellowship is always a great way to get closer to Jesus. So let me know.

Jesus, forgive me.. I always need help.. We all do. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over every reader and myself in the name of JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH! We are not called to be broken in shame and guilt. We need You, Jesus. Show us what we need to get rid of in life.. and please help us do so.. for You, Jesus. I send angels to protect us and minister to us in JESUS name. Show us your glory, Lord. In Jesus name, we Love You.. In JESUS NAME, AMEN.

For Us That Are Hurting




I think we all feel pain right now. We are all groaning in the flesh. These times are hard. We are suffering in pain that no one can see. Fighting for our lives... Spiritually and physically. When will there be a cure? Jesus is the healer... So where is our cute? We keep falling when He has promised us wings. We keep lying when He said He's the Truth. When will we see the effect of His mercy? When will we fly on wings like eagles? When will we RISE?

It's time.

Time to take off the blindfolds.. It's not HIM... It's us. We have been falling for much too long. It's time to RISE.

How to RISE?

•Let go of the past.

Seriously let it go. Strive forward. You want healing but you keep clawing yourself. You want hope but every time you see a glimpse of it... You turn around to see the dark. Let God. Let God. You're free. Let go of the chains. You're free. Let go. Let God. You're free. Free. Free.

•Forgive yourself.

You're beautiful. You're handsome. You were made for so much more. We are messy. Too messy. That's why we need Him. None of us are perfect. Some of us are just good hiders. But trust me, no one can hide forever. We were made to fly... Not cower in the dark so no one can see. Rise, embrace these tattered wings.

•Look up.

Where you put your eyes and your mind, this is where you go. So if you want to fly high above the windy waves of life... Lift your head and take your eyes off the mess. Jesus will hold you... But you have for to LET HIM and LOOK TO HIM for help. Look up.

•Listen to the good things.

Keep your mind under control. After all, what you think about is what you have complete control of more than anything. Focus. Focus. Focus.

•Surround yourself with the Light.

How? How in the world can I do that when it's dark everywhere? Create your own light. Better yet, let JESUS light up your world. FOCUS ON HIM. Talk to Him all day, everyday... About anything and everything. He is listening, and if you focus, listen, and call out.. You will hear Him too. It's not hard. Don't let the devil tell you that. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Submit to Jesus Christ. ❤️

•Lift off

Raise your hands. Give it all to Jesus. Stop relying on your own strength to fly. You simply can't do it alone. None of us can. Not one. WE ALL NEED JESUS!

READ ROMANS 8.. Hope and Light. It's all because of JESUS.. We have HOPE THAT DOESNT DISSAPOINT.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:1-39 KJV)

Jesus, thank You. It takes a load off our shoulders...Your burden is LIGHT... We don't have to be perfect... We can't be. Thank You for being God. Thank You for dying for us and being perfect. Taking the guilt for all our shame and sin. I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL OF US IN JESUS NAME! I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD SUPERNATURALLY OPEN OUR EYES. Awaken us that sleep and make us strong to fly and run. WE LOVE YOU JESUS! SHOW US YOUR MERCY AND GRACE AND STRENGTH! BE STRONG FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE WEAK! I SEND ANGELS TO PROTECT US ALL IN JESUS NAME! IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!

The Lies of Idols

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
(Philippians 3:18, 19 KJV)


When I read this scripture, I don't know... I mean, it hit me. "Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is their shame, who mind earthly things."

The passion I feel behind what Apostle Paul is saying here is... WOW. He weeps as he says this. There are people (at a time this was me too) that walk in the way of the world, idolizing things that promise fulfillment... When it turns our, they lead to destruction. It hurts. I mean, the people don't really think that... They just know they're hurting... Or missing something. There's got to be more to this life... Right?

Let me get personal with you.
There was a time that I felt so empty and hurt. I was seeking fulfillment from boys, "friends", food, attention, and just about anything. I knew that Jesus was God and He was real, I believed in Him, but I was missing that fullness. I knew something was missing.
I dreaded the day as soon as I opened my eyes from sleeping. I didn't want to be here.. I didn't even feel like I was here.
I had a longing for Jesus that I didn't even know was there. It all made sense when I received the Holy Ghost.(Acts 2:4,37-39) I was FILLED WITH THE LOVE I HAD BEEN CRAVING AN TRYING TO FIND ALL ALONG.

Two years later, I realize that even after that filling of Love, idol's promise us fulfillment... But it never happens. Jesus is the only One that can fill us.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
(Matthew 7:7, 8 KJV)


And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
(John 6:25-35 KJV)



Jesus, thank You. I know I still fall short. Forgive me. I NEED YOU. WE NEED YOU. Show us how to LOVE LIKE YOU LOVE! Show us how to be LIKE YOU! Oh to be like You, I give all I have just to KNOW YOU! JESUS THERE'S NO ONE BESIDE YOU! FOREVER THIS HOPE IN MY HEART! I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL OF US IN JESUS NAME! SHOW US YOUR WAYS AND SET US FREE FROM THE BONDAGES OF SIN IN JESUS NAME! AMEN!

Scriptures: Freedom From Sin

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
(Galatians 5:13-26 KJV)

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
(John 8:31-36 KJV)

I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
(Psalms 118:5 KJV)

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
(2 Peter 2:9 KJV)

And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
(Isaiah 46:4 KJV)

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
(Psalms 72:3 KJV)

Life In Knowing You And Freedom From All Fear

 This summer, I had the privilege of going to the best church camp of my life with my youth group. The experience we had at this camp seriously changed our lives... and I can speak on behalf of them because we all agreed that Jesus used those five days to move us.  

Words cannot describe how heavy the presence of Jesus was in those services. Worship was amazing. I can feel Jesus just talking about it now. There was a song that they sang a lot during worship called "Promise." This song was written by the ministry itself: Youth America. Every time they would sing the lyrics to this song, I would just cry out with pure passion in what I was saying... "I find life in knowing You and freedom from ALL fear!" It hit me so hard. I really feel like there are some people reading this that just feel stuck. I gotta tell you, I understand this. It's not even just a feeling. It's real.. and it's not suppose to be that way. The Bible tells us that we are called to freedom. This, my brothers and sisters, is so true.It's not just a philosophy that we are to believe in. There is proof behind this.

Are you one of those people that need proof in order to believe something? Like, you have got to experience it yourself for you to know it is what they say it is? Well, that is me. I believed Jesus was real, but i was stuck... hurt... empty... lacking. I needed that proof for myself that Jesus was who He said He was.

A couple years back, the summer of 2011, I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. This was that missing puzzle piece that I had been lacking. I had always tried to fill in that void with things that promised fulfilling. But I hadn't truly felt whole until I received the baptism of Jesus's spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. (Acts 2:4) 

This is the Love that I always wanted. True Love.

In Acts 2:39, Apostle Peter says that this gift is for everyone who is placed on this earth. This is for everyone who Jesus calls to be here.(that's all of us) This is a PROMISE and it is for you and generations to come.

In Acts 2:37-38, someone asked "What do we do?" Peter told them exactly what to do....Repent, be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.


Romans 8:9 says that anyone that does not have the spirit of God inside them isn't His.

John 3:5 says we must be born of the water and the Spirit to enter into the kingdom of Heaven.

This is truly what set me free. You are called to freedom. 

"Ask and you will receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened to you." ~Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:7)

"For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another." Galatians 5:13

Thank You Jesus for this FREEDOM! Heal us today! Make us FREE! I plead the blood of JESUS CHRIST over everyone reading in JESUS NAME! I ask that You would fill them with the Holy Ghost as they seek You, Jesus! SET US FREE! In Jesus name, Amen.
