Poem: A piece of writing that partakes of the nature of both speech and song, and that is usually rhythmical and metaphorical.


My Testimony
I could never say that I never had a testimony until today God has done so much for me in the past month is just so amazing. Let’s start of by saying I lived in a house that wasn’t on fire for God. Ever since I was a kid I would read the bible but not for my own good, because I had too. I started coming to church when I was turning 15, so that means I was near the end of 7th grade. For about a year I was never really into church standing up and singing NO. I was the one who sat in the back with my family while the other kids were up front worshiping like there was no tomorrow, which you should be like. Live everyday like it’s your last. I got invited to this youth group call FOCUS, by many people. I decided to go this one Wednesday, which they weren’t having normal church they were having this boy’s verse girl’s thing the whole summer so I stopped going right away. When school started up then I started going again but still not into the whole church thing. It this kept on for some time till right after 10th grade when I went on the state wide cross walk which was from Bay City, Michigan to Lake Michigan. It was about half way through one of our leaders came up to me while there was a prayer serves going on. She was filled at the time and you could tell, just by the way she was talking. She told me she had a present for me, and me being me I was like is it a new car. She brought me up to the front of the church and said you’re about to feel my glory. And then touched me and I feel right to the ground. When I woke back up I was crying, and I never cry. I then prayed for forgiveness and cried the rest of the serves. The last day that cross walk I was baptized for the first time. When I got back from the cross walk I went downhill again with the bad stuff I did. The following year we went on another cross walk this one was a one day unlike a week long. We walked about 18 miles that day. I walked about 15 to 16 of those straight. At the beginning of it someone told me that the devil can’t read your mind but only hear what you say. So know I know why we speech good over each other and not bad stuff, and whenever you’re down you speech like you’re in a good mood. Ok back to what I was saying. Throughout the cross walk I was with Alexis my cousin’s sister. We told each other that we were going to walk the whole way. When I was up near the cross when she was caring it I was talking about when I got saved, and let me tell you I was tired and ready to give up. While I was talking I felt the Holy Spirit for the first time heal me. I continued walking and felt it again. I was so amazing whenever I felt that feeling. That night we prayed till like 12 or 1 something like that I didn’t pray that long, but I prayed for forgiveness and that I get released from what I carried. So I didn’t know that I was changed till I got back and whenever something popped into my mind I would cast it out by saying something about God. Like God you have set me free from what I carried daily and I will follow you all my longing day. To this day I still have stuff pop into my mind but I cast it out. Someone at youth group said the devil is going to attack like never before in the coming time, because God has something in store for me and a bunch of other people in my youth group. I pray daily know whenever something that comes up that’s of the devil. Like my friends bike got stolen and then I said in a low voice saying that whoever took the bike. Well I forgot what I said, but to this day I thank God that I’m still alive that he’s protected me all this time. Now I know God has something in plan for my life ahead.

Not till March 18, 2012, I felt so much love for God for the first time in such a long time. Now I know that I was looking for love in the wrong places the whole time. God has set me free from the chains that once held me down. I am free to live my life for God now. My only worry in not straying away from God. When I was up on stage this Sunday, The lead singer for our band was going crazy preaching the word "During Worship," which was just amazing. Not going to lie, I couldn't keep a smile off my face, I was so conformable when I was up there in the time of worship. This is just one of many testimony that I have shared except for the one above.




GOD IS GREAT

Here is a little about myself, I'm 22 years old, I live in Michigan, I graduated at Fraser High School in 2012, I work at PGF and I love God with all my heart, mind and soul. ''Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.''' Matthew 22:27 (NIV)






Ask yourself, will I go to heaven when I die? Here’s a quick test. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything or used Gods name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Have you ever looked with lust? Will you be guilty on judgment day? If you have done those things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. The Bible warns that if you are guilty you will end up in hell. That’s not God’s will. He sent his son to suffer and die on the cross for you. You broke God’s law, but Jesus paid your fine. That means he can legally dismiss your case. He can commute your death sentence. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son. That whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Then he rose from the dead and defeated death. Please repent (turn from sin) today and trust alone in Jesus and God will grant you the gift of everlasting life. Then read your Bible daily and obey it.

I did not think of any of this I got it from the back of a fake one million dollar bill. I believe this, and use the same type of method on people I witness to. I don’t take credit for what I do; I give all the glory to God. God gives me the strength to make it through the day. Trust in God, that he will bring you through the day. Wake up every morning asking the Holy Spirit to give you strength to witness to people, and bring forth the word of God.

JESUSaves

My heart never wonders from the person I love till they tell me they don't want me. I don't think as a lost to me. It's a lost to them. All my friends say I'm a very sweet kind of guy, And I love that about myself. When people make me mad/sad I like to be alone like everyone else. I will not blow up and cuss you out.

Like most people don't think. I'm not to tough guy that trys to get girls with my looks. I like to get them by being nice and respecting them.

Love Quotes

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.

My heart to you is given: oh, do give yours to me; we’ll lock them up together, and throw away the key.
-Frederick Saunders-

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

What is Love?

There is no true definition of love...

Love is but a feeling, connection you have between two people, two living things. Love can come in many ways, ways that are unseen.
