Always Press Forward

Hello my name is Jasper- Praise the Lord! Sometimes in our life we get the feeling that we're not making any progress. We may be working on a project and it seemed like no matter what we do it's just not right. At times we may go through a series of feelings that seem to be all negative, we second guess ourselves, we get confused, sometimes we don't know which way or who to turn to, but we must all remember one thing- that the Lord is still running things in our lives. He has our back and if we can just stand still for a moment, focus on Him, and allow Him to do what He's going to do in our lives everything will come together in our favor. No matter how bleak things may seem He said "everything works together for those who love the Lord". We get down in the dumps sometimes because believe it or not there are spirits that whisper negative thoughts to us and it's their job to tear us down, weigh us down with the troubles of the day. They will whisper our circumstances to us and try to get us to look at the physical rather than the spiritual because when we look at life through our spiritual eyes when we allow the Holy Spirit inside of us to help us and guide us, we get a feeling of hope. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and we feel relieved because we know that we are not alone. We must remember that He said He is with us even till the end of time. That should give us a great relief knowing that He's always there to help us, to lift us up, to inspire us, to give us a second chance. We must always press forward no matter what you may be going through. Just press forward. There will always be people and events in your life that will try to hinder you from God's blessing. Some people won't like you just for no reason. Your boss may give you a hard time, even though you're doing the best you can. Sometimes even your own family members will seem to give you a hard time and oppose everything you try to do. But again I say we are warring against forces that we cannot see, but nonetheless they are there trying to stop us at every turn. But we take delight in knowing that greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world. He has overcome the evil one- all we have to do is stay focused on Him and the victory is already won. Press on, press forward, open your mind and your heart to the laws of the Lord and He shall guide your spirit. He said "ask anything of the Father in my name and it shall be given unto you". He said "you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you". When in doubt look towards the hills which becomes your strength. So take life boldly and without fear, press on towards your goal.

My name is Jassper, may the Lord bless you.

All Along the way

Hello my name is Jasper, Praise the Lord! As I was sitting alone I began to reflect on some past events of my life when I was a child and had polio. I remember the doctors and my mother had me run down this long hallway. I remember the old man who asked me to get into his car. I remember my mother fighting with my stepfather. I remember my mother longing for a husband, a home, and a better life for us. I remember a lot of dangerous times during my drug addiction- my addiction with crack made me a totally different person than I am now. I thought about the events surrounding my two near fatal car crashes. As I reflected upon all these things that happened in my life, even today the institution where I live, I can clearly see where God brought me through it all. I wasn't supposed to walk but God said yes. He brought my mother through two bad marriages without being harmed. Many times I found myself in places I had no place being. I was out all hours of the night, going days without sleep, and doing much harm to my body. But the Lord still had favor with me, even though I was messed up He still showed me mercy and grace. I did not know that I was going to have a second near fatal car crash when I bought my insurance. I think it was no more than a couple weeks after I bought it I had the accident. The insurance I have pays for my housing where I live. I didn't know but the Lord knew I was going to need that insurance. All through my life I now see that the Lord has carried me, protected me, guided me, and loved me when I thought no one else did. Everything I am, everything I have- my wonderful children, my grandchildren, and the mothers of my children- I owe it all to the grace of God. So I urge whoever is reading this when you feel that you can't go on, or that life has dealt you an awful situation, whatever it is God will take care of you just as He's taken care of me. He loves me and He also loves you. Hold on to your faith and just be patient. He is with you always, even till the end of time.

My name is Jasper, be blessed.
