Faith Without Works Is Dead: That 1 Soul

Updated: Jan 23, 2020

My Lord and personal savior Jesus Christ gets the Glory. Without him I am nothing. I am humbled to be able to come on this platform, but also understanding that some will cringe and may not be able to digest. Religion gets thrown around mostly, but from my heart and conviction of the Holy Spirit, it's the true relationship with Christ not driven by religion. Bringing in that 1 into the fold from the 99 will bring warmth to my heart.


How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? Matthew 18:12

The Heart


There is a calling in all of our lives and we have the responsibility to help others in need. Those that have not accepted him yet, it's ok because you making it this far either means your heart is hardened or still battling within yourself pondering if Christ is real. Spoiler alert, God is real and at times we attempt to control everything by the palm of our hands. Therefore, tend to forget who is waking us up each day. For those Hearts that are hardened and not sure about the Gospel, I will share that this isn't easy for me to do on a fantasy sports platform, but I believe the Lord has lead me here and whatever outcome comes out I pray that he gets the Glory for it.


I have questions


The world is getting more difficult and the temptation is among us


There are things that many of us question whether we have the faith or not about God. Why do certain things happen to us? why does God allow things on earth if he loves me? Why haven't I got this breakthrough yet in my life? The list goes on and on. Why am I feeling like I'm getting judged? He or she thinks they are better than me, why is that?


Some Solution


Apply yourself and be willing


Before I attempt to answer or give answers I'm still learning myself. My Responses will be short. Christ died on the cross for our sins and through that process, he didn't promise us a rose petal. In Contrast, anyone has the option to make good or bad decisions. Christ has overcome the world and we have to learn ourselves to go through trials and tribulations. It's easy to say if I had money things would be easier in my life. In part that would seem to be true, but some rich still die from suicide and other causes. Heavy burdens will come, but keeping the faith and not giving up when times get hard is ultimately the best decision you make in your life. 2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we live by faith, not by sight.” In due time the breakthrough in your life will come. I fully believe that myself and for the person in need. Did you lose a loved one? Were you backstabbed? Are you angry? Are You Jealous? You don't have to hold onto this in your heart anymore.


Close your Eyes


open your heart.


Close your eyes and open your heart for him. He is speaking to you now. Deny yourself and come to him. This isn't by accident, but by choice that you made it this far through the text. This is for me, others, and those that have been compromising with the Lord. Secondly, I am not here to judge or tell you what to do, because this is a daily walk and I have to rely on Christ for help each day. If you decide (Choice) to still hold on to your own beliefs know that God still loves you and I love you also my brother and sister. God's love is so powerful that I can't put into text on how great he is.


16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Reach me in private if your heart is tugging on you to know more about him. I love you.
