MY BELIEFS AND I STAND ON THEM

I never challenge people about their beliefs, and I don't believe in religion. There is a higher source that we can tap into, and the source that I tap into is Jesus. I am 64 years old, and in 64 years, He has always been faithful to me even when I did not deserve it. If I pray for you, I pray to my God, my savior, and those who challenge me need to prove why I should follow or believe something else. Not because of what you read, not what you heard, but what you experienced. Because I shared my Jesus walking through my life. I saw him take me out of the darkness and bring me into the light. I saw him take betrayal and turn it into separation because I was not in the right place. He stripped me naked so I could only see him, and he made me understand that I had to bring him into my life, the center of my life. He clothed me with Grace, peace, and the Fruit of the Spirit that all hangs on the love that I have for him. And anybody who knows me knows the first person I speak to in the morning is Jesus. Throughout my day, the last person I talk to at night is Jesus. I'm not just a Sunday believer, but seven days a week. So I don't care what works for you, but I know what works for me, JESUS. Now, it's okay to challenge me, but never ever disrespect what I believe because I would never ever disrespect what you think. 💯 Now, I have cross-studied the Bible - King James Christianity. Qur'an - Islam, Gita - Hinduism (which was minimal because a friend at work taught me), and I was introduced to Torah - Judaism (by one of my clients). When you study them, you will find things in common, things omitted, and things changed to please man. This is why we must always pray before we read and ask God to only let us receive what is good because anything man has touched is flawed.

Father, we believe in Your Word, and help us with our unbelief. Breathe on us, Lord God. Help us develop our trust in You fully, without doubt, knowing that in You, all things are possible. Lord, hold our hands as we walk through this Valley of death and steer us clear of the obstacles ahead. Baptize us in the Holy Spirit that gives us steadfast faith as we cling to Your Son Jesus. So right now, Father, we humbly come to You for guidance, and grant us the fortitude we need to preserve throughout life. Lord, thank You for grace, mercy, forgiveness, and favor 🙏 so much favor. In Jesus' name, Amen
