The Fire is Raging...
by gantonio45 » Thu Feb 19, 2015 10:54 pm
It has been quite a long while since I have posted on this sight. Yet, here I am, guided by God Himself to return here and share my thoughts/experiences over the past year.
For those who don't know, I was saved by the Lord and made Born Again on August 24th, 2013. Since then, being newly Born Again and in my infantile stages of Christianity, I stumbled. I found myself falling back into old habits and hanging with the wrong crowd. God however, has had MUCH bigger plans for me. You see, each time I stumbled and each time I swerved the other way, not only was He there to take me back with open arms, my fire for Him and wanting a personal relationship with Him only grew.
It is through all this, I found myself back here on this site. Re-entering the Many Called Few Chosen study. Why? Simply put, God has placed it within my heart. God has without a doubt been the ONLY reason I have overcome my addictions, and He has put it in my heart to do this program. I prayed to Him that He sees how badly I want that relationship with Him, and this is what I heard...
"All I ask, is that you give me EVERYTHING you have and EVERYTHING you are. You may lose what you think is comforting for a time, but I assure you, this is your path."
It's pretty awesome stuff. So, I pray to Him, I'm pushing all my chips to the center of the table, I AM ALL IN!
The fire for God is raging in me to the point that I don't want to contain it any longer, and what's even better, I am no longer "afraid" to lose anything. Why? Because we can't lose anything that God hasn't given us!!! I know that some of my closest friends and maybe even some family may walk away, but God has His plan, and its time...IT'S TIME we all start, not just listening, but ACTING!!
God, I am 100% YOURS!! NO TURNING BACK!
