One of Santan’s lie is faith is based on our works. To become a Christian you have to at some time in your life ask Jesus to forgive you of all your sins and take control of your life. When you ask Jesus Christ to come into your life as Lord and Savior of your life. At this point you are now a Christian based on your faith in Jesus Christ. Have you ever took the time to ask Jesus Christ to be the Lord and Savior of your life?
I thought I was a strong Christian during my high school years. I was not popular in high school but was well liked by everyone. I thought by joining the Army National Guard after high school would mean a successful life. ( Gal. 2:20 ) . Joining the Arm Forces was a great career move for me in the long run in my life. Being a soldier is a very stressful life. Proverbs 14:27 tells us the fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death. As soldiers we fear the unknown.
As a person my life has taught me many life lessons. I didn’t start partying till after high school at the age of 21 years old. I was a different person after basic training and AIT. When I return home my life had been transformed by Satan lies. I can’t stress enough about having a quiet time with the Lord everyday. I turn my back on church and my Christian friends for five years of my life. For a long time in the back of my mind . I wonder what it was like to be popular and the world’s life was like. When you give the enemy a inch it will become a mile.
The devil wants to destroy your life. (1 Peter 5:8 ) God loves you and wants to be your friend for life. As sin grew in my life my heart became hard against God. After seeing the love of Christ through faithful Christians like my best friend along with many prayers to our Heavenly Father it was time for me to come home to the Father. I am very blessed to be alive today. The Lord lead me to start Straighttalk in
