Overcome by Don Johnson..One Of My Favorite Videos!

At times when I need some encouragement I always take a look at this video from Don Johnson "Overcome" .

*Ephesians 6:10-18 - " Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness".

 

*Philippians 4:13- "I can do all things threw Christ who strengthens me".

Called To Recieve Eternal Life

While I was reading the Book of John 12: 20-36 "Jesus Predicts His Death". Jesus was speaking to Philip and Andrew, John 12:23"Jesus said, The hour has come for the son of man to be glorified". It was the hour for the Son of God to be glorified for giving up his life, to set us free. I thought, well if God could do this for me then I should work on doing the same. It says in  John 12:25 "The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for Eternal life".

I realized if God is telling us this, It's something important for us to know, we should have no desires to love this world. If we do, we will lose our Eternal Life and be sent to Hell. A person who hates his life in this world would receive something so much greater, Eternal Life in Heaven with Him.

 I look back and noticed the damage I did to my mind while having "F.U.N" with the Devil. It is only by the grace of Jesus Christ that He kept me from dying and going to Hell. Even at times when I went back to the vomit (the world), God still made a way for me to come out and to repent! So that's why we owe God our time and life.

Once I started seeking God, I was not ecstatic about the concept, we will probably have to give up our lives for Him one day. I was actually terrified of the thought of being persecuted for believing in Jesus Christ and Professing," He is the savior of the world". So I began to turn away from God.

Matthew 13:21-"But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away".

Yes! I quickly fell away from Gods word because, I didn't have any root in Him. I wasn't seeking God with all of my heart and mind. Deuteronomy 6:5"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all you". I still wanted to have control over my life. I didn't want to surrender to God with complete Obedience. Giving him ever aspect of my life. I was full with fear knowing persecution will come. Family and friends will turn you in and curse you because of professing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. I knew I was being selfish by trying to save my own life.

Even though, I was fearful and selfish God still had mercy and began to speak to my heart, "I died for you on the cross because, I love you". I struggle to surrendered and I realized I MUST give up all my desires, so He could fill me with His desires for my life. We all was brought with a high price and called to receive Eternal Life. It says in John 3:30 “He Must become Greater ; I must become less”.

 I believe many people run away from God's word because their scared to face the reality of being a True Christian. Giving up all that we have and desires. For example, it is easy to say we're Christians but harder to actually live the life of complete obedience to Him. In 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and self-discipline". The Lord already insure us that we have His Spirit to overcome everyday as we walk towards Him, to make us perfect in Him.


It says in John 15:13-14"Greater love has no one than this, that they lay down his life for his friends.You are my friends if you do what I command".

 I asked God one night, if he would take away my own pleasures and help me become fearless of the days of persecution. so I could become a friend to Him and to keep His commands.


In order to receive the gift of Eternal life and to keep his commands, Our lives should be lead by His Spirit and Word. I have learned to keep away from the desires of the world and to focus in living a righteous life. We need to become Fearless, live up to what God has for us and share the gospel to others.

 John 17:3"Now this is Eternal Life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent"

We are NOT called to be entertained by Music, Shopping, Partying, watching t.v, or hearing the latest gossip, but we are called to glorify God! We need to start living up to doing signs and miracles. John 14:12 "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am" 

John 17:23" I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me".

Math is Boring and so is English! Why is it so Hard to Focus?

This school year, I was struggling with Tenth-grade math and American literature class. I noticed that I wasn't very attentive. I thought to myself, what's going on? I'm usually focused and I'm not as easily distracted. For some reason I had a hard time focusing.

Everyday was a struggle to stay focus, all I kept saying was "Math is boring and so is English".Why is it so hard to focus"?

I knew that this wasn't normal, so I had told my mom about it. She actually found a website: www.h2gogreen.com/deliverance/ deliverance booklet called, (Evil spirits of arrested development), arrested development is one of the largest areas of attack on the mind, will, and emotions. If the enemy can weaken or damage just one of these three, the entire chain is weakened. Therefore it is important to work diligently in each of these three areas to purify and cleanse ourselves of enemy infiltration and strongholds". One spirit that was discuss was  Dyscalculia: problems with mathematics. Another spirit is Dysgraphia : written language, grammar, and spelling-writing legibly.

The spirit of Dyscalculia could seize your mind so bad that you could have difficulty remembering  multiplication facts and have a hard time trying to remember" the steps" of formulas in order to solve math problems. The spirit of Dysgraphia could also capture your mind, because writing a simple school essay could become hard, forgetting  proper grammar and spelling writing structure.

For example, the concept of (SMS) Short message service, which we call Text messaging was invented by Friedhelm Hildebrand, a German engineer and a technical writer. He came up with this idea in 1985. The way teenagers use the concept of text messaging, doesn't really benefit our writing skills. That idea was a simple door way for the spirit of Dysgraphia to come into our souls. It "dumbs down" the way we write. We tend to write a simple word like "what"" and spell it in a text message "wat". I even noticed this style of writing was affecting my school work. I would write how I would text my friends, my teachers would get frustrated, not only towards me but towards my classmates as well. After I was informed about these spirits I realized  the  different strong holds affecting our learning abilities.

Furthermore, I  really started to question myself, what else could have captivated me in order to not focus and achieve in school.

When I was in public school before I was enrolled in homeschooling, I noticed that my classmates would get easily distracted. We would instantly stop doing our classwork and start to rap or sing songs like, Super Bass and other secular songs.
I  came to my own conclusion, my 6 year old brother had more focus then some of my classmates and even myself. We knew the lyrics of songs more then we knew our multiplication facts. I noticed that the music we were listening to had an impact on our souls and it effected us in class as well.


If your listening to music like,  Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj for example,  then what you hear and take in your soul,  is what you will think and how you will behave. I had to come to the conclusion myself, do I still want to keep listening to this type of music or Do I stop! and seek God?
"Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj and "Drop the World" by Lil Wayne promote lust,  oral sex,  hate,  self-worship,  premarital sex,  Death, and of course foul language.
In the bible it says in:

Colossians 3:5 "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry".

These two artist and many more,are corrupted with filth and so are there lyrics.

Nicki Minaj

Lil Wayne

Super Bass lyrics: http://www.metrolyrics.com/super-bass-lyrics-nicki-minaj.html

These two artist promotes music that fills your mind with confusion and corruption. As I stated in The Invisible War, we have to guard our minds with heavenly things! Their music hinders our thinking development.
I even experience the effect on my own mind from this music. I couldn't think or even express myself correctly, because their music and many other artist was down grading my thinking process.

By these picture I don't think you would want to follow in their lead.

Not focusing in school or even things in our daily lives we have to examine. Music was one of the issues God had showed me. Text messaging, was a problem causing me to forget how to write proper grammar. Their are spirits behind certain things that we are unaware of.
We have to be able to focus and concentrate on Jesus Christ. He has everything to do with our lives and he  would love to see us  succeed in everything  we do and give him the honor and glory.

We have to question ourselves, what causes us to have lack of concentration, in our school work, at work, or even reading our bible?
That is why we have to bind evil spirits that are causing confusion and lack of focus, In Jesus name!

Matthew 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven”.
