A word from God...

Please read this carefully.

I was at church praying at my seat while I was standing up on sunday. And I was trying to pray hard and loud, speaking in tounges when the devil kept trying to attack me. He kept saying "Why are you praying when you know you'll be going back to the same sins that you have done." And I told him, "I bind you in the name of Jesus" and started speaking in tounges louder. Prophet Glenn called people to the front if anyone was struggling with habits. At first I tryed to fight with it but I knew I had to make a decision right away, so while weeping I left my seat and went up. While up there Prophet told us to keep on praying and I did. My prayers were so strong that the spirit dropped me to my Knees. While I was on the floor I was mad at my self for being the person I've been. I cryed and cryed and snott was comeing all out and I was hot as ever. My chest was on fire. And I grabed myself like if I were hugging myself and gripped my leather jacket and I pulled away. Mad at myself so much that I was hitting the ground telling God I was sorry. And God told me "My son don't be mad at your self anymore." I told him "Why not?", "I have sined and sined knowing that it is wrong. And the Lord said but "I have forgiven you." I said "I don't want to get off this floor until I know I'm right with you." He said "Your sins are your past, forget them, for if you keep dwelling on the past you will miss the plans I have for you in the present and future." Then I said "I will sell out to you." The Lord then said "What I want you to do is thank everyone." I said "Thank them for what." The Lord said "Thank them for praying for you, for fasting for you, for asking me to heal you and protect you. Thank the person you shaired your deep thoughts with that has kept it to there self forever. Thank your family. Thank your Pastors. Thank the kids. For it was them that made the miracles happen. Without them it would've been so different for you. They came to me to ask for help for you, and I said IT IS DONE." At this moment I felt like Job, wanting to rip my skin apart for the wrong that I did. To scratch the wounds I made on myself. I was at a stage where it was all about Him, which will always be. So I said yes Lord, I will thank them. And when I opened my eyes I looked at my nuckles and they were bruised and I looked on the floor and there layed a big piece of leather that I ripped from a $300 dollar leather jacket. I got up and felt like if I was on a cloud. Like if I was floating in the air. So I'm telling you today, THANK YOU. Thank you for being you. For being on my side when I needed someone to talk to. Thank you for everything, and may God bless you in everyway. May he fill your mind with lots of knowledge. May he guide all your ways, and may you help others as you helped me. GOD BLESS!!

~Love Always~
