Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Spoken Word
For the record, I love religion, but this video speaks to me. After all, religion, at one point did turn it's back on me. Now I've found a new place to call home and I'm content.
It's a twister! It's a twister!
From Friday's Journal Entry:
It's been a whirlwind of emotions, fakery, deceit, lies, failures, disappointments, epiphanies, and a whole host of other adjectives this week. However, hopefully, it's the beginning of a major departure towards change in my life. Not HOPEFULLY, it WILL be. It's time for me to wake up and realize I'm messing my life up. The Devil seems to be putting partitions in my way to finding God. The roadblocks are causing mass havoc in my life, yet I remain undeterred.
Instead, I'm beginning to wonder why he's so fervent in his attempts to sabotage my life.
What's he afraid of me discovering?
Why is my salvation such a threat to him?
Is there a plan God has for me that he's afraid of me unearthing?
But rather than harboring on these questions, my determination has been restored, renewed, restrengthened.
I refuse to be swayed from Jesus and His saving Grace.
I refuse to be separated from His Love and Mercy.
I'm fortified in my belief of His undying and unending Love for me, despite my inadequacies.
The Devil can send every weapon in his arsenal, but I will continue to relinquish to the Father's will.
I will be a new creation in Him.
Psalm 1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, not standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of the water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly shall not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
