We Are What We Eat: Part 2- Spiritual Reflection

I started this topic a few days ago in regards to health and how we are a reflection of what we eat. Its common knowledge that our body will reflect the food we ingest. Lets say your daily routine is a morning coffee and a doughnut for breakfast, pizza or burger for lunch...cant forget the coke, and some sort of pasta dinner, along with some cake for dessert. How long do you think you can keep up this routine before it will reflect to your hips. A month or two, maybe a year. Even for the skinny breed, cholesterol would go through the roof....So you aren't fooling anyone. We have to remember that our body was designed this way on purpose. Think about it, imagine if you could eat absolutely anything....like cake in the morning, ice cream sandwich for lunch, and a whole pizza for dinner, and not have any…

Lies Can Kill You

I spoke about fear the other day in one of my blogs...I talked about how important it is to have the fear of the Lord in your heart. But what if I told you that is possible for you to die from sin...and not Spiritually but physically. Sin in our society seems to be a misconception, even among the Christians. People take sin very lightly. This is due to the heresy that is taught at many of the churches these days. Instead of teaching the consequences of sin, they teach how God is all forgiving. Interestingly enough, if it wasn't for Jesus, we wouldn't stand a chance. As I was reading the Bible today I stumbled on a few verses, where God isn't so merciful. Where God actually punishes sin with Death. Imagine that, you are knowingly committing sin and all of a sudden death is upon you. You are…

We are what we Eat

How many times have you heard this? Seems like, no matter where I go, or who I talk to...eventually people will talk about health...exercise....food, etc. I remember growing up, my dad was a serious health fanatic. We would wake up in the morning, he would make sure we had at least a snack, drank some tea (usually some sort of herbal healthy tea or green tea) and all our vitamins. And when I say vitamins I mean a handful of pills! He would give us a garlic pill, Vitamin C pill, Fish oil, and everything else out there in pill form. I remember I would try and sneak out without my dad seeing me...Because man, did I hate swallowing all those pills, some of them were like the size of horse tranquilizer pills. Every time you would swallow them, you would practically choke...oh the good old days. I always use…

Are we to Fear God?

I think a very popular topic among the atheistic followings is why would you follow a God that wants you to be scared of him..? Are we to be afraid of God and his wrath? Are we to fear God? I remember growing up, it was a popular tactic among the Russian culture to try and scare you straight. You would have older people telling you that you would be cast into the pits of hell if you didn't straighten up. I even remember my mom telling me, Are you not scared, imagine if you were to get hit by a car on your way home...would you go to heaven? Can you imagine how terrible hell would be? I seen this scare tactic as a form of pressure to try and manipulate that Jesus wants you to be miserable in the afterlife. This is why many atheists have a hard…

The Distractions of Life

We all love love to stay busy....well most of us. I can't stand having too much free time. In this day and age, most of us wouldn't even know what to do with too much free time. Most of us either work, go to school, or raise a family...All of which consumes our entire lives. From the crack of dawn till our heads hits the pillow we are frantically running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I am not saying being busy is a bad thing, in fact staying busy can keep you disciplined and steadfast to life. But there is such a thing as being consumed by this life. We have heard of the consequences of overworking yourself...Things like health problems, insomnia, anxiety, depression, etc...We have to be careful to not overwork ourselves to an early grave. Some people are just born with an overdrive switch...a switch…

Why Are My Prayers Not Being Answered?….

Its  been one of those days, you ever have one of those days that everything is just going smooth? People are calling you, people are being nice to you...you are able to hear Gods voice. The Holy Spirit comforts you...you get invited over for dinner...you feel happy...you feel great. Well, today was one of those days. I pray and God hears me. He overwhelms me with his presence....He lets me know that he is there, he talks and comforts me as the day goes on. Oh how I wish everyday was this amazing. Oh how I wish we would feel this sense of being acknowledged all the time... Yesterday was quite the opposite, in fact most of my week has felt that way. I have felt alone, I felt that something wasn't there. I actually began to tell myself that God doesn't hear me! He doesn't care about me. Oh…

Spiritual Death- losing Gods inner voice

I had the opportunity to meet up with a friend this evening and talk about a vast amount of topics... As we sat there and discussed many subjected we started to dig deep into some spiritual theology. We discussed several things, from our personal walk with Christ to what has God done for us in our daily lives. It had been weeks since we last met, so as we had fellowship we realized that many of the things that had been circulating in our minds were similar. For instance, this Saturday I wrote a blog about lukewarm Christians....interestingly enough, he had been thinking about the topic of lukewarm Christianity for weeks. He found it very odd that I had written something that had been on his mind for weeks. But this is how it often works, the Holy Spirit intercedes in our life for specific reasons. Often the Holy Spirit may give you some…

Putting God in Charge, Leaving all Worry and doubt Behind

Lets face it...we all worry, we all doubt things, we like being in charge.... This topic sits very deep within who I am...I have always been a worry wart. I tend to over analyze anything and everything in my life. I always complicate the most simple subject and complicate the most simple response. I know this issue resides with many people out there. How many of you worry about everything all at once, all the time...Welcome to the club. I have been out on my own since the age of 16, I have been paying the bills and rent before I was old enough to legally get into a R-rated movie. So at a really young age I have been forced to always be on guard. To always be ready for the worst, to always be ready to pay the bills. I know the idea of independence for most of…

Why did I start to blog?…God intervening in my life.

I wanted to take a different approach today... I am new to this blogging thing and by no means claim to be a professional blogger. I am just doing something I really enjoy. If you want to know the truth, I really love to write. Seems like when I sit behind the keyboard I just float away. I actually get excited in the morning, thinking, what can I blog about today...What is on my heart? What is God telling me? Is he saying anything? That often happens....I look for answers but I hear nothing...Often times I think is it because God cannot hear me?...and the doubt kicks in. I don't claim to be this perfect person, in fact, I think one of my biggest weaknesses is being my worse critic, being a failure. I often think about how hard life can be and if i don't succeed in this or…

Are you A lukewarm Christian?

"I have decided, to follow Jesus, no turning back....no turning back. Iv'e been set free, Christ is enough for me...the cross before me the world behind me..." These are some extremely strong words, they hold an authority when applied. How many people can honestly say that they have decided to follow Jesus. It seems like most people are held by some sort of sin, whether it be something small or something big. We live in a culture these days that being a Christian is the new fad. Everyone calls themselves a Christian. Labeling yourself as a Christian is socially acceptable now. This new 21st century approach of Satan's deceit is very slick. There was time that people flat out denied Christs existence. However, for every era Satan has a different approach. The era we live in these days welcomes everything. There is no distinction between truth and lies, Satan has implored…
