Well, everybody knows that I was locked up for 7 months. I’m out of prison now and free to go my own way. As I think back on my days in prison, I remember how it all started. Me in St. Joseph Missouri looking for something to make me feel whole, a reason to live. I was lost and I did not like that feeling. I quickly got into a routine of mental and physical exercise. Slowly I noticed God beginning to change my heart. I was completely obedient to Him in those 7 months. I woke up every day and spent time with the Lord. I never spent so much time with Him before and never felt so close to Him. That is important for me. It is important for all of us. I wonder how much time the mighty men of the Bible spent with the Lord? Was Satan able to slip in there and bully them around? This is what I notice in my own life today. Satan just slips in and starts calling the shots on occasion. The true test of our character is, in my eyes, defined by what we do, what we think, when no one is looking. Satan has always dropped thoughts into my head when no one was looking to try and trick me and show me that I am truly week. I would encourage everyone to take time, as much time as necessary, to spend with the Lord because Satan is waiting. He knows our weaknesses and he also has a plan for our life. Destruction. Believe me. If you are like me and for 42 years have not listened to God, sometimes it can be hard to hear Him when you are confronted with many distractions. I love you guys. I am praying for you guys and I think it is time to take it up a notch. “Next Level” – In this life we get out of it exactly what we put in to it. I love the way God makes me feel. I hate the way sin makes me feel. What am I going to feed – the sin in my life or the spiritual man in my life? I think, although I fall short daily, I know the answer to that! Kick rocks Satan, you lose!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, please help me to stay the course. Be faithful to you always, even when no one is looking. Forgive me for my sins. I pray Lord for my friends in prison. Help them to stay the course Lord and be faithful to you always. In Jesus name, Amen
Thoughts:
“Therefore if any man be in Christ He is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Romans 6:14 says “For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
