The Embaed code failed to work so I had to resort to this other method, in order to share this news
While this sounds like a contradiction, especially when we read that so loved the world, He gave His only Son
Since we are all sinners and there is no good in anyone, we all deserve the punishment of hell
But Jesus died for our sins, He freely gave up His own will to do the Father’s will
So that if we admit we are sinners and believe Jesus as our Saviour, we can have eternal life
This is offered as a Free Gift, and can’t be influenced by good work
As a sinner forgiven of my sins and freed from my addiction, I still remember the overflowing joy
I wanted to tell everyone, but of course, the enemy tried to snare me back with lies and reminders of my past, every time he turned up, I reminded him that I was no longer that person from the past
I was a new creation who belonged to God and grateful to Jesus for answering my prayer
As to hate and God, He does not hate in the same we do, for He is LOVE
If He did not, he would not have given up His Son, God provided a way to be saved from our weaknesses and indulgences
All we have to do is accept His Free Gift, to ask and believe
The enemy soon began dropping the cares of the world onto me, through YouTube videos
As a new born-again Christian, I was not prepared for the heavyweight these videos bought with them, while at the same time replacing my past addiction to watching videos
One after another I began to feel anger and human hatred, and yet unable till now to be able to stop being drawn in a judgmental state of mind
Jesus although spent His time amongst sinners, he didn’t judge or rebuke them
He either forgave them of keeled them, even though He know all the people would turn against Him and crucify Him
Thus, displaying a far deeper Love than we can even imagine
Why do I shy away from sharing the Gospel?
Yet I was fully convicted of my sins and know without a doubt I was forgiven
I acknowledge I was freed from my sinful addiction, and God gave me a new heart
Yet I’m unable even unwilling to preach in the open about God’s Grace
The only place I have told anyone about the wonderful Grace and love of God is here on my blog.
I have wondered of late whether or not to record videos about my renewed faith and testimony to upload to YouTube
But I hesitate lest it might appear I’m promoting myself, rather than giving glory to God
To all readers, I would ask for your thoughts and advice on this subject
Also, pray that I will become willing to become the person God wants me to be and that He will enable me to do His will
Amen
Life as a follower of Jesus Christ has never been without a price to pay, in the past many early Christians were thrown to staving lions as a source of entertainment by the Romans
Others were stoned to death such as Steven, but all those from the past were considered martyrs and later revered as saints
Later on, in time many Christians suffered and died rather than give up their faith
This still happens in the present day in other countries Christians risk losing their lives for sharing their faith or even owning a Bible or for criticizing what the culture believes to be their holy prophet
In these present times, it seems the enemy changed to a more subtle approach
By using spiritual attacks, which by their very nature can not be seen but are proving to be just as deadly as the divide and conquer tactics.
With the use of lies that spread quickly throughout a congregation of believers.
Causing doubt and distrust both of which are strong and effective corrosive tools.
The enemy seems to have enlisted all atheists and most of the world through the use of the internet, seducing some by appealing to their vanity
Other though their addictions even Christians are being led astray by false teachers and prosperity preachers who appeal to human envy and greed
The enemy also haunts recent converted Christians with their past sins, whereas God forgives and forgets all sins of those who have asked and truly repented
I have undergone many of those spiritual attacks since I was forgiven and surrendered my life even though my free will is no longer mine.
Whenever the enemy either temps me or reminds me of my past, I remember that Jesus willingly suffered and died for all my sins “All I am and belong to Jesus my Saviour, He forgave me and has made me a new creation, Him alone I worship”
Note: This is a fictional story. Part 1 is based on my real experience
In my rebellious youth, I wilfully plunged into all manner of self-indulgence, to gain frequent ecstatic enjoyment, until the self-indulgence, slowly gained control over me the more I indulged
Although I enjoyed each of the pleasures within my indulgences, the length of time each lasted became shorter and more exhausting to maintain
All too soon I became a miserable slave without a will of my own being, for now, I was misguided into increasing darkness to perform whatever my dominating indulgence led me into
While glimpses of pleasure flickered before me, I was unable to reach or hold onto them for long
Part 2 Is totally fictional
Day after day, month after month, year after year I continued helpless and growing weaker as time flew past until one day death overtook my weakened body
With my dying breath, I sighed in relief that my torment was soon to be over
My hope was abruptly shattered when I found myself in Hell!
The darkness was so dense it was petrifying to move even one single step, although I could hear others groaning who seemed to be close though none were visible
Only my thoughts and images filled my mind taunting me with past pleasures, though there was nothing left of me, just an empty shell unable to indulge,
Suddenly a great wave of sorrow and despondency flooded over me and exertion, I desired rest but there was none to be found
I became aware of flames surrounding me although I could not see them but knew them as well as the flames of desire from my self-indulgence days
As the heat from the flames increased, burning into my flesh I felt myself helplessly plunge further downwards knowing there was no escape
With a sudden jolt, I awoke from this nightmare, knowing this was a warning from God to repent
I fell to my knees and pleaded for forgiveness and thanked God for the warning dream
From that day forward I will praise Him with every fibre of my being for His Love His Grace and His patience
“What a Crazy World We’re Living In”
Back in the days when this song was a smash hit sung by Joe Brown, which was the theme tune of the film of the same name
Despite the words about the crazy world, compared to this modern-day. Life in the 60s was SANE
The year 2020 will go down in history or at least it should, not because it unfolded into the most amazing and stunning year full of wonderful opportunities to become great or famous or wealthy
Rather it was the year COVID-19 went worldwide along with many lockdowns restrictions including self-isolate and stay-at-home recommendations
Then came the big advice push for everyone to get vaccinated as well as the constant updates of increasing deaths, causing widespread panic
Later on, causing unwelcomed division between those vaccinated and those unvaccinated
As if the continuation of the virus and all it entailed through the following years was enough to contend with, as a Christian I have noticed that Christianity and all those who believed were attacked from many directions.
Note: I realize this process has been a long and slow process, but attacks on the Christian faith seemed to have increased with every passing year
Atheists spread intentional lies with the use of video, causing doubts including divided opinions about faith doctrines and many churches became empty as many believers left.
The increasing pressure on Christianity from the rest of the world to embrace the LGBTIQ+ “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender diverse, intersex and queer” communities
While all members of the LGBTIQ+ now enjoy a whole month of “Pride “which includes continuing freedom of speech for all their members, Christians are labelled bigots and homophobic for expressing their faith (exercising their freedom of speech)
As part of the LGBTIQ+ movement, same-sex marriages have not only been made legal but enforced churches to comply even though this goes against the Christian belief
As a former slave to sin freed and saved by Grace I make no apologies for sharing the teaching of the Bible and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I do so out of concern and love
Some countries have banned Christians from going to their country or enforced laws preventing Christian’s freedom of speech and banning the Bible from being taken into their country
We are just back from a celebration meal out as it is our 40th Wedding Anniversary today
I can hardly believe the time has shot past so quick, I added this video by the late great Peter Sellers
Since I found his version funny I thought I would share it with my readers
I have also included a photo of my wife and myself still decked up for the occasion
Even though there have been struggles and problems, I can honestly say our marriage has never been dull or boring
Carol my loverly bubbly wife always says she is 21 every year, I won’t tell say how old she really is, all I will say is she is a big kid at heart
Dreams are a common occurrence in every human, yet for many people dreams disappear as soon as they awake.
Other people have the ability to remember all the details of their dreams
In the Bible God often used dreams to teach or instruct those who He had chosen
Then there was Joseph would not only receive dreams from God but could also interpret the hidden meaning.
Although this skill was not always appreciated by those, he explained their dreams too
While the days of Joseph remain in the past, there have been many others who claim to understand the meaning of dreams.
Some have written and published books on the subject of dreams and offer their acquired knowledge for a price. While they try to hide their involvement in the dark crafts
Whereas these video series offer free access to all the dramatized films of followers of other faiths, who encountered Jesus in their dreams

Thou have created all things and for your pleasure, they are created
Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress and my deliverer. My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Praise the name of Jesus
He’s my rock, He’s my fortress
He’s my deliverer
I will sing His praises for Jesus is worthy of praise
He was patient with me while I stubbornly clung to my increasing sinful nature
Jesus forgave me of all my sins as a gift even though I didn’t deserve His forgiveness
Jesus also freed me of my sexual addiction, freeing my mind and giving me a new heart
So that I would begin to desire the things of God and He put a new spirit within me
Teaching me and guiding me even through times of trouble and hardships, He is my comfort and true and faithful friend
When I consider all, He has done for such a sinner as me I can scarcely take in
With the pain, the suffering that He willingly went through I stand amazed in humble adoration
There is no lie that can be told or argument that will shake me from knowing that Jesus is my Lord and He is worth praising every day He gives me breath
I have never been aboard a boat in the midst of a tempest as the decuples were
Even though they were seasoned fishermen, when the storm hit the boat with full force they were struck with great fear for their lives
In a great panic, they went over to the sleeping Jesus and woke Him saying “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
“You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.
There are many storms in life not just raging waters, are we any braver or any more faithful than the decuples?
I know from an unexpected experience just how much the storm of trouble shook my faith, causing me to panic as if I was about to drown
I admit that it was easy for me to tell someone else to have faith and trust God and let go of worrying once they had prayed
How much harder it was to take my own advice in the midst of my storm, even though it was insignificant in comparison to the trial and hardships of St Paul
Even though my storm was puny compared to Paul, I panicked I doubt I worry, but through this storm, God was teaching me and revealing truths that I had not wanted to even acknowledge when I was an unrepented sinner
The storm waters I find myself in seem to be getting deeper that I am unable to shake off the fear of drowning, but even so, the situation is making me trust in God more than ever before
Even though God has answered many prayers and bestowed many blessings on my family and me, then why do I find myself full of uncertainty?
Please Pray for me, as I pray you to have stronger faith in the storms of life
