The Whole Heart
written on this tablet of flesh are many things/but inhabited by the Spirit of the infinite being/Who is that?THe one who has the name,"King of Kings" and "Lord of Lords"/Jesus Christ of Nazareth/the divine glory and more/ Bedut sometimes his message doesn't rivets my heart/IT becomes screwed for itsot renewed from this skin thats coated dark-ly/I call it my flesh/ I wrestle with its disires and it shows an attrubute of satan, no rest/Its thoughts, its deeds, its plague of generation seeds tries to inform me that I'm still here/on this green and blue ball called earth within its galactic atmosphere/But...see I choose to see truth, not rely on facts/ and breathe in the air of grace/as I breathe...like that/ but I breathe Life/not deathe/I breathe victory/not defeat/ Cuz God is/when Im not/and he's strong/when Im weak/ You see/ Flesh doesnt rule me like a slave/IT was put into the grave/and now I stand a free man/before you today/ I said flesh doesnt rule me like a slave/It was put to the grave/and now I stand a free man/before you today/...I have been forgiven of my sins/transformed/born again/aiming to win and see him!!/to see my maker/the face of love himself/Jesus the rock of ages/and no on elsI willut 'til then/ I will fight with my whole heart/my wretched ol' heart/My sinful ol heart for him/

वे बेक Home
I've been gone for quite some time
Will anyone recognize me?
Would they mind if I come back
uncivilized and so dirty
I mean, I want to come back
I really want to
Its just...I don't know if they do
I could be judged, I could be scourned
By not fitting the absolute norm
But would if I want to change
But just don't know how
I hope that maybe one
Will understand me now
That I'm a prodigal
Someone in desperate need of help
A prodigal, who needs someone else,
A savior, someone to believe in
A father, to return me back to salvation
Shall I return in this
dirty mess of mine
before the clock ticks its last tick
to end my life?
Yeah, I should since risks are all I take
I'm coming home to daddy today
Ever had to do that?? Many people had. I know of people who had left God for so long and it took something to wake them up and say,'I need to come back home.'I thank God that only few times have there been times when I felt like I couldnt get out the mess I put myself in and serve him. In fact very much recently, I had the tryest(IF that's even a word haha) time, feeling trapped in my own sin while feeling bombarded. I felt I had no strength to come back.But somehow, like the sunlight that breaks through the crack of a wall signifying that there is light outside of your cave, grace shined in my life once again and I saw a new day.I began to understand God's mercies are new every morning and took hold of that.
So if this poem touched you, let the world know your story. Many prodigal's are out there far away from home and may have lost their way coming back. MAybe through your story of returning to salvation,people can see a different side of Jesus. Maybe you are lost yourself and forgot the directions back to your 'home'. All you got to do is say a simple prayer, like this:
God, I messed up, I know I have. I have(confess what you know you have done wrong). Please cleanse me by Jesus' blood and forgive my sins. Search my heart and know my desire is to be with you. Now I want to serve you only and make you Lord of my life. Thank you for forgiving me.Amen
There you go! You' back home baby! lol. Now if you meant that prayer with your heart,the holy spirit will change you, but it takes time. Read Luke 15:11-32 and read about the prodigal son.It's a beautiful story about redemption and the love of a holy, just God whose readily available to recieve you back home. Welcome back!
**Take in mind that a prodigal is someone who spends money on substance as they are wasting their lives doing that, but one of the most valuable, if not the most valuable, item we have to spend is time.Don't waste your time giving your life away to this world.Instead, preserve your life by giving it to Jesus

Homosexuality
Hello World
I haven't been on here for a minute,but I do have a good excuse for that....well, maybe not, but who cares right??:)....
As I examine the state of our country, America, the sin and immorality of the country is such on and incline and is scarier and scarier to me. Now I know the Lord said that he has overcome the world, so we should be of good cheer(John 16:33), but the sin that is all over america has God in a position where his face may be hidden away from us like that of ISaiah 59:2.
I just read the other day that the California ban of Same-sex marriage was overturned. I initially jumped for joy because I read the title wrong, not seeing the word "ban" in that sentence, but read it again. My heart sunk.Hours later I cried, thinking about the days of sodom and gomorrah and thanking Jesus for being an intercessor for if it wasn't for him, sure america would get a swift judgment from the Lord.
Romans 1 specifically Identifies a group of people who were given to their lusts for the same sex:
"Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
"For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
With us being a democratic nation under our president, the liberality to be gay has widened for those who are bound or struggling with their homosexual thoughts. Either way, the action and the thought are both sinful and offensive to the Lord!
On the flipside, Christians shall never treat a homosexual as some outsider who can never receive the love of the gospel. Key word, Gospel. The anointing breaks the yoke of bondage, but its the gospel that free's a man's concience. It causes one to be transformed by the renewing of the minds so they can see what is the good,pleasing will of God(romans 12:2). I believe it takes a discerning heart to see if a person who is in homosexuality will be receptive to the love of Christ and befriend them as long as no temptation should come upon that christian. I'm trying to be careful with what I say for I have yet to have the opportunity to befriend a homosexual in that regard, but I believe Im prepared to do such a thing and lead that person to the obedience of Christ.
The homosexual spirit is one of the most difficult spirits to deal with, but with the power of the blood of Jesus, it can be dealt with!

I'm back!!
Hey y'all
Man it's been a while since I have been on here. Well, thanks to my brother Andy, I have been inspired to get my thoughts back in order and journal the things I have been going through, an djust kinda 'spill it out'. He didnt say it like that but that's what I amy end up doing if I stick with it.
Yesterday, I picked up this interesting book from a place I went to. The place is Christian and they give out Christian material to its customers. So they have this book called," The Calvary Road" by Roy Hession. It was actually comprised back in 1950, but it is so good, that it has been translated into 70 different languages across the world and has been republished numerous times since its inception. I have not gotten far into, but already I feel the impact of the book.
One time, I was dealing with a friend who have seemed to go off the deep end with his own issues and asked my pastor what to do. She said," Take him back to the Cross" or something like that. I was like, that's a good idea, but quite honestly, I never had gripped the meaning of that statement. I feel this book is going to take me on a journey to understand a simple, yet profound, christianize statement and reveal its power to me, the reader. This isn't some prophetic-glory book with revelations that seem obsurd to the carnal mind. It actually seems like something thats comprehensive, yet a deep well of intimate knowledge of what the Savior has done and can do with a soul. It's about a revival,a personal revival within the person, and as a result, a revival that will stick and stay around those who carry the transformation of Jesus within them. I need this revival in my own heart and am glad to pick up such a book. I barely have read it but I'm very positive this classic piece of literature will elead into the right place in Jesus I need to be in, this season.
Until next time,
Daniel

Empire state of Mind??
Jay-z's newest hit, "Empire State of Mind." with alicia keys has been going around in the airwaves for a while. With a catchy beat and catchy lyrics,people, and Im sure "christians" are listening to this piece of crap. In the midst of the third verse, Jay-z says, " Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin. And Jesus can't save you, Life statrts when the church ends." What????.....this anti-christ spirit behind Jay-z is publicly denouncing the Lord and savior's triumphant win over sin and death. HE is deliberately saying Jesus didn't do his job. He's glorifying New York over the Lord!!..The word says that all men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall.(1 peter 1:24). Jay-z's glory will fall and be no more one day. IT will come to nothing but the Glory of the Lord will stand forever!!...Young people, do not listen to anything that glorifies this world!!! fill your ears with music that Glorifies Jesus Christ. only by the spirit of God can anyone call on the Lord Jesus!!

Taste and See!
Taste and see
That the Lord is Good
Oh drink of his bounty
Don't sip, engulf!
In the well of Life
For in him there is plenty
Of water that quenches
That a soul of a man
Crying out because he thirst!
Then Jesus, he comes
As he did that day
When him
And the Samaritan conversed!
That the Lord is Good
Oh drink of his bounty
Don't sip, engulf!
In the well of Life
For in him there is plenty
Of water that quenches
That a soul of a man
Crying out because he thirst!
Then Jesus, he comes
As he did that day
When him
And the Samaritan conversed!

Just a testimony of drawing near
Last night(February 24th) I felt I really had to get away in my room with the Lord. I was being attacked by doubt in my heart so much,and I just knew I had to get away and draw near unto God. It was awesome. It's funny how thspirit of doubt tries to plant seeds in our hearts, while at the same time,the spirit of God is in our hearts as well(1 corinthians 1:22). With some instances in scripture, the word heart is referred really as the mind, but regardless, our physical minds are connected to our physical hearts. that is another subject though. I went straight into my secret place with god and just sat at the floor, against my dresser, while looking at one of my windows. On top of the dresser was my stereo,and I knew I had my hillsong CD in there(side note: The I heart Revolution CD-double disk-Get it! ) And there was song called"You'll come". I started playing it. Thank God for anointed music to help our souls!I started to sing the song and as I ws singing, I began to weep uncontollably. I had streams of tears flowing from my eyes like rivers,but not of sorrow, but of hope! The Spirit of God inside me filled my heart with hope like never before! I was reminded of the scripture when paul said"Right now three things remain: faith, hope, and love.." (1 cor. 13:13) and this also,"Now may God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace as you believe, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." I said to myself of what peace I had inside my whole body.It was amazing!! Jesus really boosted me that night. It didn't take us to do some great act or religious act to get god's attention,all it took was drawing near unto god and being transparent with him. the spirit had shown me that if we just do that during these times of trouble and the end times as a whole, we will not lose that connection with the Lord IF we stay submitted unto him.
