Hey, I changed the title of my blog.

A few days ago, I changed the title of my blog. Let me explain my reasons for this. I'm a servant to God, all of God, the fullness of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And as a servant, I'm learning Spiritual Truth and trying to apply it daily, and I want to share with you some of my daily experiences, both the good and the bad.

Also, everyone's daily life is a journey, this is from my journey and I'm a servant. So, it's a servant's journey.

One more thing, last night I chose to use all lower case letters in the title of my blog. I just thought it would look nice.

God bless y'all, servant21

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. James 1:20 KJV

I just realized something, the name of my blog is My Journey. My intent is to write about things I experience everyday, the good and the bad, the blessings and the evil. I'm writing about me, what I do right and wrong, I'm the example. But I want to write so everyone who reads my blog, can understand and learn from my experiences. I want all to understand, whether they know Spiritual Truth or not.

To begin with, I'm gonna write about my temper. I have a bad temper, it's explosive and violent. I don't hit, I've never hit anyone in my life. My way of expressing anger is verbal. I cuss, I mean I curse. Most people don't see anything wrong with this, as long as I don't hurt anyone or anyone's property. But it's not ok, in fact, it's a sin, Ephesians 4:29 says, Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Amen, amen. Do y'all get this. God says, don't cuss, don't talk bad about anyone or anything, don't gossip, don't call people names, don't tell bad jokes. He says, don't speak anything negative. We, in our ignorance, speak so many curses, everyday, to others and to ourselves. James 3:10 says, out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. And this shouldn't be, we are to be an example, as Christ was an example. We may be the only Jesus some people will ever see, also, we, the body of Christ are the light and the salt of the earth, Matthew 13-16.

I can tell you what we should be doing, I can tell you why we should be doing it, but whether or not you choose to do the right thing, obeying God's Word, that's a choice you have to make and truly I hope you choose to obey our Father, God Almighty.

I wanna end on a good note, Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Jesus said many times in the Gospels, seek ye first the Kingdom of God, but it's not preached like it should be. Jesus said to His disciples, go and preach the Kingdom of God, why aren't pastors and teachers teaching this.

The reason why they aren't was prophesied in 1 Timothy 4:1, Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. The next few verses in 1 Timothy explain this further.

It is necessary for the Kingdom of God to be preached in all the earth in order for Christ to return. God is a God of order, not chaos, so everything must happen by His Direction and in His Timing. We must do what our Father says or we won't ever see Him.

The main thing preached in most churches is salvation, which is important, but it doesn't go nearly far enough. We need to be searching for a relationship with our Father, not just to be saved. It says in Revelation

Luke 17:21, Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for behold the Kingdom of God is within you. The Kingdom of God isn't something you obtain by doing the right thing or going to the right church. The only way to enter into the Kingdom of God is by developing a relationship with our Father, God. Read God's Word and He'll tell you what to do. Many people only believe part of the Bible, where did God say this is for them of old, not for you. If He didn't want us to do it, He wouldn't have put it in the Bible. How small is your God. How can you say you believe in God and His Word, but you don't believe in all of it. The reason some of you only believe in part was prophesied in 1 Timothy 4:1.

God bless y'all,

What will I write next?

I'm sorry I haven't written anything lately. I've got things to say, but putting them down on paper, well, on the computer, isn't as easy you'd think, maybe I'm just making it more difficult than it has to be.  

I can tell you this, everyone I've told about my blog, who said anything, spoke encouraging words, how cool is that. Even my pastor said good stuff about me blogging, I dig that.

But regardless what I write and how long it takes me to write something, it's all good. I'm walking in the blessings and love of our Father.

 

God bless ya'll,

What am I doing?

Ok, so I wanna write, I guess I'll try blogging. I'm not sure what I'm gonna write, but I hope yawl enjoy it. I'm 42, though I look 25-30. I'm a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, though I still mess up. I'm Southern and I have a very strong southern accent, so I'm told. I intend to share things with yawl, that I experience, the good and the bad. I have a friend who's a blogger, and reading her blog, Shark Girl, has gotten me interested.

Ok, I was reading my
Bible a couple of days ago and the Lord put Matthew 6:14-15 on my heart, and as I read the verses a few times, as I meditated on His Written Word. I understood the reason He gave me these verses, it's because I had unforgiveness in my heart.

The verses say, paraphrased, if we forgive others, God will forgive us, but if we don't forgive others, then He won't forgive us. How many times do you think people have read these verses, but never quite understood how serious the message is. If we hold anything, great or small, against someone, then God doesn't forgive us, this is very scary. So, I started asking our Father to show me any unforgiveness in my heart. I'm trying to pay more attention to the thoughts in my mind, by not allowing evil thoughts towards anyone and if I do, to give it up immediately, confess and ask forgiveness.

I hope someone gets understanding from this, I didn't go into any detail, I just thought this would be a good beginning, since this is the last rhema
I've gotten from our Father, a rhema is a word that God speaks to directly to you, to your heart. I don't intend for this to be the only topic I blog about, I'm gonna write about whatever I've got on my mind, but I am a child of God and I'm trying to, as it is written in Matthew 6:33, Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and Luke 17:21 says, The Kingdom of God is within you.

So, this is my first blog, I hope yawl liked some of what I wrote, understand, I am a beginner, I'm sure I'll get better with practice, also, I'm gonna read other blogs, to get an idea of what I'm doing. God bless yawl.

This is an after thought, in writing my blog, I'll speak about what I believe. I don't intend to change your beliefs, you believe what you will, God gave us free will. Just know this, in 1 Timothy 4:1, it says, The Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. So, when you read the Bible, you can't righteously say, I believe this, but not this. How small is your God? If He's the creator of all, wouldn't He only put in the Bible, what He wants us to know? Why is it there, if it isn't for us to read and know and do? God bless yawl.

I eagerly await any comments, whether you agree with what I've written or not.
