Ever since I gave my heart to the Lord

There has been a complete and total change in my life. I have crucified the flesh and I walk now in the Spirit. All the things that I used to do are no longer appealing to me, because they are dead to me. Smoking, drinking, cussing, lying, ungodly relationships, clubbing and so forth, are all dead to me. They have become things that I detest. I have grown to hate those things because my spirit cannot tolerate them. My spirit cannot tolerate SIN. Oh how I hate sin! I want it nowhere near me. I cry when I stubble into the traps of the enemy because I know that sin separates me from Christ. My very purpose in life is to grow closer to Christ and anything that disturbs my path to Christ needs to be put away and destroyed.

I have become an enemy of Satan. When I was a sinner, Satan was my friend. Everything I did, he loved. Now that I am on the other side, the side that serves Our Father Jesus Christ, he is after me to destroy me. He sends temptations from all sides and cause my wicked friends to plot against me. Nevertheless, I will not fall because I am no longer acting upon my own will but the will of God. Which enemy can stand against me? Which enemy can stand against God? I am glad that I am the enemy of Satan. That means that I am doing everything right!

However, I do realize that I am still but a seed in Christ - A baby that is not yet grown. Nevertheless, I trust in the Lord that I will grow in faith through prayer and supplication and by reading my Bible every single day. Through fasting and my devotion to Christ my spirit will grow stronger. I will become a shining light for Jesus Christ so that those who do not know him might see His light through me and those who hate me will know whom I serve and flee from me. I belong to Christ and he lives within me. Praise be the name of Jesus Christ.
