Ever think somebody is perfect because they never cussed or is always quiet?

Well your wrong no body is perfect that person who never cusses probably broke at least 1 or 2 of the commandments,and that person who is always quiet probably cusses when nobody is around to hear them, you have to understand no body is perfect not even Mother Theresa,God puts you through tests weather if its to see how strong your faith in him is or to see if you'll turn your back on him or not,even I have been put through tests....Dont believe me? Heres a story about how I FAILED a test God gave me.

Finally got to Chicago it was Memorial weekend and all I wanted to was to hang out with my family and have fun. It was a long ride and getting to my cousin's house was a relief,my whole family was there and I was excited,it was getting boring for me and my 2 younger cousins so we decided to go outside and just chill,as we were outside sitting in my mom's car we noticed 3 girls looking at us with dirty looks,me being me started to get frustrated and angry,as much as I wanted to ignore them...I didnt,so I started asking them what they were looking at and giving them dirty looks back this continued for the rest of the day the 3 girls kept coming by us I figured just to irritate us...Well it worked by that time it was about 8 or 9 O'clock PM and the girls where still out side my cell phone was dead so I asked my cousin to come with me to my mom's car so I could charge it. Walking out of my cousin's house I noticed that once more the 3 girls were staring,so I made a comment to them saying "What are you looking at?" they did'nt reply loud enough that I couls hear it but my cousin did and she came and told me so I looked back at the girls and started yelling at them then got into my mom's car,the 3 girls had ran after I yelled and about 5 minutes later a lady with a cigarette in her hand was walking down the street cussing up a storm, my cousin immediatly ran out of the car and into the house I could hear the woman making racist comments calling me awful words by the time I got into the house I heard her calling out the address on my cousin's house. Nobody in the house knew of the situation but my and my cousins so I figured nothing was going to happen,I was so wrong only 3 minutes later a knock came on the door and my cousin came running up the stairs saying "The police are here" at that moment I left the door open and the spirit of fear entered my body.

Everything got settled out with the police that night. I could'nt help but be angry with myself I had the chance to testify to those girls instead it was all drama i could have ignored it and said bye to the demons trying to get me in trouble but instead I gave in and instigated even more with the 3 girls. God works in mysterious ways had I known that was a test i would have went about it so much more differently,I asked God to forgive me,I forgave myself and everything turned out fine. Looking back I know I made a bad choice I fell down but I learned from my mistake I learned to just get back up dust my sholders off and keep going that experience only made me stronger the enemy tried to make me fall out of fellowship but he must feel dumb because he made me even more closer to God and it was a lesson well learned.

So remember this expect God to give you tests be prepared for anything learn from my mistake! If theres ever anyone giving you any type of problem look at it through God's eyes think about what he would do, he would love them no matter what right? Yes of course he would they would be his creation. So when you have a problem like mine or simular to mine or any problem at all tell them God bless you, and if they come up to you later on try to tell them about God maybe they dont know him like you or I do if they dont introduce them.

Heres something i had to share with you from my Pastor.

For centuries, the devil has been weaving defeat and condemnation into people’s minds by getting them to feel like they’re not really saved, or they’re saved, but they’re not the person they pretend to be in public. Stop letting the devil rob you of your joy and peace through this lie.

We all at times have felt like hypocrites. We say we believe, then we sometimes doubt. We say we love God, but feel at times numb. We are supposed to “walk in love,” but we feel like hurting someone sometimes. Anybody been there besides me?

Paul the apostle knew this battle, and today we’re going to join him in victory.

He said, “For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.” (Romans 7:18)

Here is the secret to overcoming the feeling that you are a hypocrite or a fake:

1. Recognize the battle that you’re in. Your spirit (inner man) is holy and wants to do what’s right. Your flesh, however, doesn’t. One translation said, “I have the desire to do what’s right, but I cannot carry it out.” Jesus also said, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41) Before we’re done, your spirit is going to win this battle!

2. Realize that you’re not alone in the battle. EVERYONE deals with this. The fact that you realize you want to obey God, but are honest enough to admit you often fail, is NOT hypocrisy. It’s “truth in your innermost being.” (Psalm 51:6) The part of you that doesn’t want to obey God is not the real you – it’s your flesh.

3. Don’t worry about what other people think of you. Only the “self-righteous” think they have it all together. They think they are better than you. They think that you’re weak and they’re strong. But truly honest and humble people realize the battle and understand your struggle. Look to Jesus as your High Priest. That means, He goes to God with His blood, and says, “Father, this one has been cleansed by My blood. This is your child, and they are holy NOW because they are washed.” He goes to the Father on our behalf and paves the way for us to be forgiven, accepted and righteous—IN HIM. Also, Hebrews 4:15 says, “We do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all things, AS WE ARE, yet without sin.”

4. Take off the mask. You don’t have to be “Miss Perfect” or “Miss Never-look-flustered” or “Mr. Always has it together.” There’s something liberating to just be able to be transparent, and not have to pretend you have it all together. That doesn’t mean, you go out and sin deliberately. It doesn’t mean you throw all caution to the wind. It means, you humbly admit, like Paul the apostle in Romans 7:19, “For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I end up doing.” He’s not making a bad confession here. He’s making an honest one. THEN...

5. Declare your victory in Christ! Romans 7:22-23 Message Translation says, “I truly delight in God's commands, but it's pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge.”

6. It’s ok to need a Savior! Paul asked: Who can deliver me from this condition? Romans 7:25 says, “The answer, thank God, is that JESUS CHIRST CAN AND DOES...”

7. We walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says you can serve God, now, even when you feel like a fake. Believe what God says about you, and don’t bow down to what your flesh and the devil try to tell you about your weaknesses, contradictions and mistakes.

THINK IT & SAY IT:

I recognize that I am in a battle between my spirit and my flesh. I will no longer give into the lie that I’m a fake or a hypocrite. I have a flesh trying to control me; but my spirit truly wants to obey God. I yield today, to my spirit, by yielding to GOD’S WORD.

Jesus Christ has delivered me from the wickedness of my past and my flesh. I am forgiven. Everything in me that doesn’t want to obey God IS NOT THE REAL ME. The real me is made in the image of God, and is more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ my Lord!
