Ok, I wouldn't say life is good but I won't say "kill me now." That's a lie, if I knew that I could commit suicide and God wouldn't mind, I'd be out of here!! I don't say that with sadness and depression..on the contrary...I say that with the complete and utter delight of knowing I will meet my Jesus!! He is everything I look forward to when this journey is over.
Speaking of journeys, I've come to the conclusion that it's time for me to go back to the beginning of my Christian walk and start over without preachers and traditions. I'm going to re-embark on my journey. I'm going to focus my attentions on God's nature and not man's opinions.
It's become quite obvious to me that too many people telling me too many different things about worship and Christianity have muddled the truth for me. I've only become confused and disenchanted. It's time for me to fix this mess.
I give credit to a certain Pentecostal preacher for telling me what it's all about. I was searching and God sent him with the answer. The answer to the question, "how do I live a Christian life?" is "by knowing God through prayer and the yielding of yourself to His marvelous works." This preacher was speaking straight to me in what I perceived to be God's own words. He said, you can't love God by going to seminars and reading 40 chapters of the Bible a day, or dressing a certain way, or attending church regularly.
So, I'm backing up and starting over with a new perspective. I want to serve God in spirit and in truth. I don't want the burdens of religious tradition. If it's "not by might but by my Spirit" then I can't DO anything right.
This is completely off subject but I'm gonna put it out there just in case, I'm finding that ever since downloading the playlist and the little fish tank that my computer is doing weird things like, my mouse isn't responding when I move all the time now, and when I click the enter button on this post the cursor is jumping up to the top of the paragraph and I have to click the mouse to make it move. My computer isn't alerting to any viruses or anything but if there's something downloaded, let this be a warning to anybody else. I'm not too worried yet because I've always had little oddities with blogger posting like having to reset the fonts and colors a lot as I'm typing. I don't know. If you know what it might be, leave a comment please.
