Bible College Testimony

I was going to jump right in with the Chapter for today but I just want to say what an amazing and most high God I serve. It has been a wonderful Lords day and I was glad to share it with all my brothers and sisters in Christ. I have just started on this journey, as it is only day three, but I am overcome with joy that I feel must be shared. I can not begin to tell you how refreshed my mind, body and soul are now that I am truly in the bible like I should be. We all struggle sometimes in are spiritual walk. Pastor Andy said it best today "When we are overcome with joy and really wanting to get right with God and overcome with excitement that is when the devil is working most in our lives." That could not be more true and all of us as Christians know that. However with that being said we allow it to happen over and over again and let the Satan get the best of us. We let him break our spirit. I know this because it has happened to me on many occasions. I am here to tell you no more. My good friend Andy hit the nail on the head today and really struck a cord with me. He said "He is tired of Christians coming to church on Sunday's being all Holy and putting up this front when really they are going home for the week not being in the bible, not spending time with God, not witnessing and not even praying like they should be." He can not be more right. I made a decision to say NO MORE!!

I am here to tell you I will not let the Devil get the best of me anymore. I truly felt God calling me and telling me what I needed to do. I was working and not incorporating God into my life as much as I should have and could have been. I was not spending time with him like I should, I was not doing my bible reading like I should everyday, not praying like I should and not out witnessing and fulfilling his great commission. God got a hold of my heart once again as he always does and I decided to get things right. I knew from the minute I got saved that God had big plans for me and I have been scared to take the leap. God has taken me by the hand and with help from some great brothers in Christ has led me on this journey that is just beginning. With the will of God laid upon my heart I decided that I should start Bible college. Praise the Lord because the doors burst open and there was Andy, my brother, backing me all the way and preparing this Bible College that God had laid upon his heart. I am growing every day in my faith and the Lord is there for me every step of the way. Look at this awesome blessing he is working in my life. I am truly blessed. I don't know what Gods plan is for my life but I feel that I have not yet fulfilled what I was put on this earth to do and he is not done using me yet. Our Most highly truly works in our life everyday to shape and mold us into the Christian he wants us to be and trust me we do not get there overnight. I know that I am heading down the right path, that is the path of righteousness, and Satan will not stand in my way. I am in my Bible, daily, digging deep and soul searching; asking God to take my hand and lead me. I am praying like I should be, I am spending time with Lord and I will be witnessing on a daily basis try to see souls saved. I will be planting the seed. I am fired up about this journey I am on and no one can change that. The devil will try but he will fail miserably. I will let nothing pop my Balloon of joy, Andy. The Lord is with me always and nothing is impossible when he is on your side. Repent from your selfish, fleshly ways and always keep your eyes on Christ.

Heavenly Father, tonight i come before your throne, humbled, for the miracles that you are working in my life. Father I know that there is a long road ahead and that road is very narrow. I look forward to every moment I spend on this road with you Lord and my brothers in sisters in Christ. I just ask that your will would be upon me Lord for all of my days on this earth bringing glory to your name. Father you deserve all the glory. I will always praise you Lord and I know you can use me to be a strong testament to others. I could never thank you enough for your Mercy and Grace. We love and Praise you lord, in Jesus name, Amen

  1. Great testimony Bro James!

    The Christian walk is truly a daily battle. However we have the greatest Commander known to man. HE leads from the front and clears our path. I am glad to be able to fight along side with you. I will be continuing to pray for you and Theresa! Hooah!!!!! II Tim 2:3-4
