Study his word

Hello to all my brothers and sisters in Christ. May the Lord always bless you and your family. I pray that my words come straight from the spirit of the Lord that lives in me. We as children of God, are obligated to study our fathers commands, so that we become children HE will be proud of. Jesus said "if you love me you will keep my commandments".Also HIS words act as a guide as well as a shield against the evil one.I was invited to join in on a bible study by a friend, and I thought it would be a good idea. At first the studying seem to be fine. By the time we were going to end our studying, the teaching began to change. He stated some things that we don't teach where I worship and learn the word. Jesus said that, HIS followers must not be deceived when others come with false doctrine. In order to keep your head on straight, you must know your word because they will confuse you with good sounding doctrine. I found myself in this situation and it began to vex my spirit (thank you holy ghost). We must always be on the lookout for the enemy, who is constantly looking for a way in. His only job is to keep your mind off the word of God. He hates us because GOD made us in his image, and HE loves us even more than the angels in heaven. So be a good disciple for the Lord so when you have to stand before HIM, HE will say "well done my good and faithful servant. Thank you and may GOD BLESS!

Things that I've learned at NCC

Hello my name is Jasper and I am a quadriplegic, and I pretty much have no use of my body. You may view this as the worst thing that could happen to you, well not so. Never give up or give in, keep a strong positive attitude, and above all don't forget whose running things. I don't know how you may look at your situation, but my accident changed my mind set and out look on life. When I first arrived at NCC, I was emotionly bankrupt, I was isolated in my room all the time. I would not participate in anything, and I was constantly on the pity pot. I didn't start to grow until I realized that life is truly a gift from God. Yours may not be the way you want it, but life is not over for you my friend. In fact, depending on your attitude, you could be on your way to a life you never thought you could have. First you realize that God saved you for a reason, and helping people with a loving heart, good things will come to you. I'm telling you from my own experience, my accident brought me closer to the Lord than I've ever been. Slowly things started to open up for me. By being friendly with a positive spirit l soon knew everyone by first name. I took the initiative to learn new things, and to try my best to upgrade myself.The world does not stop because I'm in a wheelchair. You have a choice to sit and do nothing, or look past your circumstances and become a member of society once again. I make it a practice to attend any (sci) spinal cord injury meeting. I'ts where I can learn about new programs and services that are designed to help us. They discuss how we can do things that other people do such as driving, traveling with a wheelchair, sky diving, driving boats, and much more. Also some of us may believe that for us relationships and sex is over, but that's not true. At the (sci) meetings we discuss adaptive equipment that enables us to have sex. There are also pills and other medical procedures to aid us. I've also learned by living at NCC, just how blessed l am that I'm still alive, I can see and talk and think for myself. I see people every day that have no idea what is going on around them, or can't control any part of their bodies. It should humble you and make you realize how blessed you are. I pray that you understand the point l'm trying to make to you my brothers and sisters that are in wheelchairs. My name is Jasper and much love to you.

The Oscar's

Hello to my brothers and sisters in Christ. Once again I watched the world show just how one sided it can be, creating a problem. It all came about when there were no people of color nominated for any categories, even though there were black movies that were worthy. This sparked anger with some of the leading black actors, and they boycotted the Oscar's. Now this tells me to remember who is the author of confusion and unrest, Satan. I would take a guess and believe a lot of those millionaires are not connected to the Lord. I don't care who you are or how high you think you have reached, if you don't know the Lord, the enemy will come in and create chaos. Those people cannot overlook their brothers and sisters as if they don't exist, or not worthy enough for you. When you treat your own brother and sister wrong, this will surely bring the enemy your way. We as a nation of people must learn to love and support each other the way the Lord commanded, or it's all going to unravel. The Lord intended for all his children to love each other, respect, support, and be your brothers keeper. If we can never learn to do this, well when HE comes back, all I can say is, l'm glad I have a relationship with the Master. His judgment of the unrighteous will be swift and terrible. Peace and love to you and may the Lord always bless you and your family. Hello my name is Jasper.
