I Am Christian
And I really needed to read this message: Hope it helps you too.
Change is Possible for everyone, for all things are subject to change, because change is inevitable.
Brothers and sisters, Everyone in the bible had problems and issues concerning life, and none of them were perfect, but JESUS.
Everyone in the bible experienced change in their lives after they had a confrontation with truth/JESUS, and the truth they were confronted is what caused them to change.
So I am saying this to say, no man or woman knows who will be saved or who will not be saved, and no man or woman knows the appointed time for a person to change either.
And just because people don’t change when you think they should change, that does not mean change is not a part of their future destiny.
For If all these great men and women of the bible experienced change in their lives, their character, and their future destiny, then change is possible for anyone.
And just because a man or woman is not a believer now, that does not mean they will not be a believer in the near future, because change is inevitable.~
For seasons change, times change, people change, the weather changes, and even the ugly green caterpillar with multiple legs changes into beautiful flying butterfly.~
Muslims can change, Christians can change, religious fanatics can change, Murderers can change, killers can change, child molesters can change, drug abusers can change, drug dealers can change, gang banger's can change, racists can change, and people can change, because change is inevitable, for all things change, whether they conform with change or not!~~~~~
(1 John 3:1-3) Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
(1 Samuel 16:7) But the LORD said unto Samuel, do not Look on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.
(2 Corinthians 10:7) Do you look on things after the outward appearance?
If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
Brothers and sisters, King David was a murderer, fornicator, adulterer, and a deceiver, and GOD knew all this was in King David’s heart when he was a simple sheepherder, before GOD made him his anointed King, and proclaimed him to be a man after his own heart.~
And even after David committed those great sins against GOD, he was still GOD’S anointed king, GOD did not take him off the throne, and neither did GOD take the kingdom away from King David, for GOD’S grace and mercy followed him all the days of his life, because he sowed so much grace and mercy in the lives of other people, for he was a man after GOD’S own heart.
And before David became King David, he was just a simple sheepherder keeping the sheep.
Moses was a stuttering man dwelling in the house of Pharaoh, Moses murdered a man, Moses struck the rock that represented JESUS in the wilderness because of anger, and it caused Moses not to enter into the promised land, but yet Moses was still GOD’S anointed Prophet, and he is still one of the greatest prophets who ever lived.
But before Moses became the deliverer, and one of GOD’S greatest prophets, he was just a stuttering man dwelling in the Pharaoh’s kingdom.~
Peter denied JESUS 3 times, JESUS rebuked Peter, and JESUS and called him Satan, Peter cut off the High Priest’s servant’s ear, Peter went back fishing for fish after JESUS called him to be a fisher of men, Peter played the hypocrite in the new testament, and Peter was guilty of being a respecter of persons, but yet JESUS made Peter the leader of his church, JESUS gave Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and if Peter had not preached JESUS on the day of Pentecost, then the Holy Spirit would not have fallen on on the people at Pentecost~
And before Peter was the leader of the church of JESUS CHRIST, he was just a simple fisherman.
Paul was a murderer who was murdering Christians, persecuting the church of JESUS CHRIST, and he was guilty of agreeing with the death of Stephen one of the first evangelists to preach the gospel of JESUS CHRIST with power, But yet, GOD changed his name from Saul to Paul, and Paul went on the write 14 books of the bible, and he is now known as one of GOD’S greatest apostles who ever lived~
But before Saul became Paul, and before he became one of GOD greatest apostles, he was a religious fanatic persecuting the church of JESUS CHRIST, and consenting to the murder of the followers of JESUS CHRIST.
Rahab was a prostitute dwelling among the enemies of Israel, and she hid the spies of Israel in her house when they came to spy of the land, and everyone in the land was destroyed except the house of Rahab the prostitute, because of the mercy and grace she extended unto the spies who came to spy out the land she lived in.
But before Rahab became the great grandmother of King David, and in the blood line of JESUS CHRIST, she was just a prostitute.~
Brothers and sisters, I am not perfect either, for I am nothing more than a repented 4 time felon, drug dealer, gangster disciple, a whore monger, a man who has been to the penitentiary 3 different times in my life, and a man who has been to jail for murder, and as I said before, I am not perfect, but neither am I the man I use to be either.
And if a sinner like me can change, then anybody can change, and if all things are possible for me in CHRIST JESUS, then all things can be possible for you too, if you truly believe.~
(Isaiah 55:6-9) Seek you the LORD while he may be found, call you upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
