There is only one way

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
(John 14:6)

This is what I believe. I do not believe that there is any other way to God. I do not believe that if you think being loving in life and you call God "love" and all you have to do is stay on some path of love is true. It might be what you believe - but what I'm saying is I will never say to you "If that is what you believe that is your path to finding God/Heaven." Because for me to say that would be a lie, and to deny my faith, the very core of who I am. I understand some people do not believe what I do, that is their choice. But I believe that we are all sinners, and God sent his son, Jesus Christ to pay for that sin (even before we ever commit it) on the cross and that if you repent of your sin and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour that you will be filled with the Holy Spirit (which can never be taken from you - he doesn't just move out ;) ) and when you die you will enter into Heaven's gates and spend an eternity with God and Christ. To have a relationship with God that can not be seperated by sin, the world or space or time. To have an eternity with him and those who chose him as well. That's what I believe. And I can will say it here!! Or anywhere, but definitely here on my website and profile!!

Obviously I am a YouTube-er! :) So I stumble across things that make me laugh, cry and puke(millions of tiny baby spiders on it's Momma's back and when she moves all these tiny spiders shift around on her!). BUT this makes me a bit weary. A woman who has this amazing gift to speak to people and they listen is saying - God doesn't exist "for everyone" but for those who believe. If you believe God is love then you believe in love and you are right and the person who believes in God is right. I am not going off of things that people have said about Oprah - I'm going off of things that I've seen Oprah say with her own mouth. There is no consistancy - one segment she says that God is different for each person then she says "God is. God is a feeling..not a belief and if you think God is something to believe in that isn't it - it's God, a feeling."

Whether you believe in God or not - this kind of "non belief system" is DANGEROUS. For one - it takes away any conviction what so ever, without conviction - there is no remorse, there is no guilt, there is nothing to say what is right or wrong. What you feel will be right. If I feel it is okay to molest a small child then that is what I feel - what you feel may be different and that is okay - but this is what I feel is okay and I am right in doing that.(Oh btw that is NOT what I feel haha, but you get what I'm saying..) What about the person who raped and murdered a little boy or girl, they sit on trial and say "It's what I believe, I believe it's okay to do" if what you believe is true to you is right, then what's to stop a judge from saying "according to what this man says he is not wrong." Those of you who profess Christ as your Saviour - now would be a great time to stand up and say what you believe and not be afraid, if God is with us, who can be against us?

I have many many friends who do not believe what I do. But they all know what I believe and it's clear to them why I believe it, and I've never forced my beliefs on them(oh and this is not force, seeing as you are reading this by choice and it's my website and profile). I think that's important, but what I want to do now - is expand. I would like to expand this realisation to people who perhaps don't know me well or not at all. I want to be someone who there is not a shadow of a doubt that Christ is my Saviour and there is something different about me - to all people. I want it to be obvious and I want to do that in such a loving way that God's love penetrates every aspect of my life and effects everyone around me. Even if that means I'm a goober or the "the God lady" (as one kid from my town used to call me) or a goody-two-shoes. I'm cool with that.

Anyway! Feel free to comment and say what you want - but you know my response already.

One more thing, logically speaking. If you don't believe what I do, would you think my faith was very firm or strong if I said "it's just one way" or "it's right for me but not for you"..what kind of weak faith cannot save the ones you love but only yourself - if I didn't believe in God, I would have a lot more respect for someone who did fully than someone who did halfway, or weakly.

There is only ONE TRUTH.

Watch Out

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 1 Peter 5:8-9

When things seem to be going well - sometimes that is when Satan tries to attack us the most. Know that God wants us to hear Him and acknoledge Him in the good times and the bad. God has infinite power and righteous - we should never doubt or not have faith that he will take care of us, not to say there isn't always something to be learned, but if that is a case look for the lesson and gain strength from the experience.

Satan wants us to think that we are less than we actually are, or that we are not valuable to God at all. He attacks us in ways that we don't even notice sometimes. Sometimes God will use a situation to teach us and strengthen us; however, Satan and his evil ways may cause us to think otherwise. Satan is powerful too. I'm not sure the extent of his power but I do know sin and anything sin natured can affect me. I know Christ as my Saviour and I know I will live in eternity with him - but when I am on this earth, I walk among many evil-doers and sin like anyone else. I am tempted just as anyone is. Whether I give in is another story.

I say this as a warning. Guard your heart over this Holiday Season. This is the season to celebrate God and his Son, Satan will have you believe otherwise. He may even try to make you depressed or feel like there is no hope, he will take any opportunity he can get!

Don't give in. Say to his face that he has no power over you. Tell him you are going to do what God says is right and have peace in it. Most important, trust God like you know you do. Trust Him like a child would - no questions about it. He is you Father, His ways are not our ways and sometimes things will happen to us we do not understand right now or perhaps never will.

I think sometimes we forget we are earthly beings and God is a holy, righteous, all knowing, powerful and loving God. He knows what he is doing, maybe someday you will understand - in this life on earth or as a heavenly being.

God loves you. He wants you to be happy and safe in his arms, let's make it a habit to not fight Him. Always do what God says is right - you can't go wrong. We are not alone. He even gave us an amour!

"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:11-18 "

God bless you and Merry Christmas!!
