God gave me a SERIOUS revalation in the past week.as most of you know i have a very colorful past.my main deal was weed.i loved it.it was the main joy in my life for years and years.and yes from time to time i just want to get a big fat one and blaze away.i get cravings and to be honest i have even talked myself into it a time or two but couldnt bring myself to making that ride or call to where i would need to go get it.something keeps stoping me.and what?you may ask.conviction some may say.i even said to myself(God loves me no matter what so it wont hurt anything).and that is true but theres more to it.i have asked myself and others.if i belong to God and have recieved Jesus as my lord and savior then why does satan continue to hound me and tempt me?he has been on me something serious and why?he has to know he has lost me so why does he continue to try to pull me back?it hit me like a ton of bricks just the other day .
1 corinthians 10;31-11;1
so whether you eat or drinkor whatever you do,do it all for the glory of God.do not cause anyone to stumble,whether jews,greeks,or the churchof God.even as i try to please everybody in every way.for i am not seeking my own good,but the good of many,so that they may be saved.follow my example as i follow the example ofChrist.
romans 14;12-13
therefore let us stop passing judgmenton one another .instead make up your mind and not to put a stumbling block or obstacle in your brothers way.
so what this means to me is that anything i do that would cause someone else to stumble and by that i mean cause someone to doubt the church,God ,or your testamonyis bad.me smoking a joint may not seperate me from God even though it wouldnt help us be closer.it would effect others.every place i could ho get smoke is someone that knows of my transformation.and going and doing that would prob most deff cause them to doubt my testamony and maybe even this whole Christ thing we living out.if you are saved then its not about you anymore its about Gods will and his will is to gather others for his kingdom.

Wow bro. That's some serious stuff you're learning. Just by our nature, we find it hard to learn that life is no longer about us. That will make all the difference in the world.
