Lord Jesus, keep me in the fold

 

      The Devil will try and attack us at every point he can. When we close up all the access points and guard the gate, then he’ll huff and puff and try to blow the house down. There is a limit to the Devils effectiveness, though, it’s the Holy Ghost inside those who believe. This is what gives us the victory when all seems stacked against us. 

       Really I shouldn’t even be here like I am today. I should be off listening to rock n roll and smoking weed in some new state that just legalized it. I was ready to walk to Jamacia from Oregon when I was in my twenties cause I was sick of not being able to smoke my weed freely and get a job. Now I don’t smoke weed or cigs, praise God. 

        This internet can be a distraction my fellow believers, this internet thing can suck us into the vortex, addict us to this searching and writing, and scheming. I know it can, cause I am fighting the force myself now. I don’t use the internet to look at women, I don’t use it to flirt with women, I just use it to write. And I like millions of others started getting the work at home fever, to write for a living. This is my dream come true, as I really did aspire to become a writer of fiction biographical prose. 

          The temptation is there for me to go hog wild nuts and just delve into the web 24-7 and make it happen. At the expense of what is the question? Well if I get sucked in too much I will begin to conform to the pre-paved plan they have set up for us ambitious writer types, and before you know it I’ll be writing about everything but my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

       That’s exactly what I want to avoid, no dream can take me away from the love of Christ! The Lord has given me a desire to write and the talent to make it happen well enough. Well, I’m going to use it for the glory of the Lord and if God blesses that then so be it, I will make some money. Otherwise I am satisfied with my part time effort to write and help people who just happen to maybe stop by and listen. Praise God. 

       At Allvoices I have over 10,000 views in little over three weeks! Praise God, that many people have read my uncompromising articles telling the truth. That feels good, over all else. What do I care if I have to work at a gas station again? I’m no better than anyone else, and maybe God needs me out there to talk to people in person. 

      I love to write though, and now I have an outlet, here and on three other sites which I now write for. That’s good enough for me, if that goes anywhere God knows. The world is in such bad shape, America is running on fumes, just nearly ready to collapse, we have to get prepared to do without the things of the world. And spend our time ministering to our family, friends, and strangers who don’t believe, or who need edification. Praise God my Christian brothers and sisters, that you are doing just that. Forgive me for not reading your writings enough.

      As for now, I hear the Lord calling me near to His fold, it’s an ugly cold dead world out there, full of ravenous wolves. But with Jesus we are warm, protected, and full of life! Amen.
