Persecution

Father, you know my trials, tribulations, and whats on my heart. I'm writting tonight a personal testimony that has been on my heart for the last couple of weeks.

I currently live in a house that is divided. A house divided cannot stand, because the foundation of my home is not built on the rock of Christ.  I'm trying with all my strength, and Spiritual power to be the man of the house and bring the light of Christ to my very family. My father and older brother have to much pride to come to grips with truth and I pray for them to humble themselves in repentance before its to late. You can either accept God or you can reject Him. 

I prayed before I wrote this very blog for God to give me the sanctity to over come anger, and not be caught up in the flesh. My father cursed God today on multiple occasions.  Oh how I pray for this man to be brought to repentance, the flesh wants me to wrestle and tussle with him along with giving up on him. But my Spirit weeps for my own dad through love because I want him to know that Jesus poured His blood out for Him. Christ did not die in vain and this is my call to do the work of an evangelist to save souls. OH HOW A YEARN FOR LOST SOULS to come to know Christ. I was once lost but now I'm found and I have one true Father in heaven who will always be here for me.

I thought I failed God in these last couple of months as I tried to witness to a girl from a denomenational background. I grew found of her, and forgot about the very principle of why I developed a friendship and that was to save her soul.  I had regret and anger in my heart as our friendship ended, but what I I knew and came to grips with, is that God's grace is sufficient for me. I'm sorry Lord for not giving you all of my attention and I pray I can focus on your will. 

Lord you bore my afflictions upon that old rugged cross. Your blood is my atonement, my washing, santification, and justifaction.  No matter where I go Lord, you will be there also. May I deny myself and pickup Your cross and come follow You. You thought of me when my sin was laid upon You and I truly know that You love me.
