Power of the Blood of Christ

I was in my dorm room working on some reading and other tasks of the like. Instantly a mighty spirit of lust just hit me. I do not know where it came from. Instantly there was this disgusting perverted spirit. The warfare was insane. Praise the Lord that by His grace he allowed me to be exposed to this war. Scriptures were running through my head, but I couldn't do it. I called upon the Lord and He reminded me that it is not of Him temptation comes, but of are my own desires.

NKJ James 1:12-15, "12. Blessed is the man who endures temptaion; for when he
has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised
to those who love Him. 13. Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by
God"; for God cannot be temtped by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14.
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.
15. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is
full-grown, brings forth death.

I knew these things, but then I was reminded of something my mother always told me. The power of the blood of Jesus Christ. She always called upon the blood and so often rebuked false words by the name of Jesus Christ. I called upon the blood of Jesus Christ and asked Him to protect my room and to cleanse it of any spirit that had been welcomed in the room. Instantly, His grace fell upon me. PRAISE YOU JESUS! Tsidquena or God Our Righteousness. Thank you for the power in the Blood of Jesus Christ. I rejoice in you as I live in your Spirit. Guide me Jesus. I have an evil heart that can only be overcome by your Spirt. Guide me and strengthen me as I abide in you. Praise you.

Making small things count

I love it when the Lord reveals a daily trial, time and time again. Patience has never been the first word that comes to mind when someone describes me. My mother has openly shared her opinion with me about this issue. Well, its funny because for some weird reason my bike lock just so happens to keep breaking, even after I get a new one. Now many people of the world would say well it just keeps breaking and ya know maybe that is the case, but it gets me so stinking frustrated. I have came to the conclusion that God is showing how humorous He can be and this is what blows my mind. Every time, it doesn't work, the key won't turn, but as soon and I mean as soon as I truly have relaxed and let go of all anxiousness it turns. Woa, so I am convinced He is teaching me something there. It's crazy though because it has brought an entire new discipline to my life.

The other day for example, I was in a hurry to class and if we are five minutes late he says see ya next time, and I was clearly in a hurry I slid my card opened the door, but saw someone coming who was a handful of steps behind me. Now, previously I would go ahead and hold the door or maybe say well I am in a hurry. The Lord has been showing me I need to serve I need to give not out of my surplus but out of obedience. It was a guy too, so it's not like it was to show off how I am such a fine gentlemen or boost my pride. It was such a blessing though, because he clearly saw I was in a hurry and started going but then said no go ahead and I hustled off. It was so neat though, because when I was a half flight ahead of him I could see he noticed. I hope he sees how we can be even greater servants for our King. I hope the Lord gives me grace to continue to learn these small things in my life.

Start of a Journey

I hope to reflect upon these words and be reminded of the many blessings of my Glorious King. I do not plan on telling anyone about this, so it will be interesting how or when my story will be revealed. I officially stepped up within leadership within FBC Bryan on Sunday. I am very excited to see the mighty work the Spirit of God will do. We have already established some consistent prayer meetings. I look forward to seeing the work the Lord within the ministry He has blessed me with. I was also blessed with an opportunity to minister to a brother who was molested. It was so tragic, but I feel the Lord is about to do a mighty within his heart and life through our relationship. I will continue to press in for him. Also, I cannot wait till the day Alain and Carlitos walk into the light. Seeds have been planted and a desire to know is there. I will be praying for protection of those seeds. Another random note, I applied to Impact. I pray the Lords will be done. King Jesus, I surrender to you. Praise You for the victory in your blood!!
