Above All Else I must Be Saved!!!
We live in a day and age where, nobody wants to discuss HELL. However, where there is a heaven, there is a hell. Where there is saved, there is unsaved. Where there is peace, there is chaos. We are living in the last days and that's a sermon that can't be avoided. Yes, love conquers all but the truth shall set you free. I see how when everyone dies now days, nobody is EVER not saved, how do you not speak up. For when you know it's required of you to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Don't it bother you that souls are going to hell, it weighs heavy on my heart daily.
So this part of me, I'll share with you today. I'm not very fond of a lot of religions but I'm particularly fond of the personal relationships people have with God. Churches tend to argue facts on this or that but there are some things in the Bible that can't be talked down. I'm the type that, I'll respect people and their choices but I will not debate what I understand to be true. I believe in the choice to agree to disagree respectfully. I was baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost as a child. Somewhere I lost my way, was hateful and many others things, but I'm back. Glory to God for helping me find my way. People will say, you don't need the Holy Ghost, God knows your heart, and you don't need to be baptized??? So many good hearted souls are lost because they don't know Jesus or haven't followed the plan of salvation.
This is going to go deep as I explain my walk and why I believe what I believe. Repent of your sins, Be Baptized in Jesus name, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. I've known people to receive the Holy Ghost before being baptized. However repentance is the first key, admit your faults, your not admitting because you will live a perfect life thereafter. You might fall but see the Holy Ghost on the inside of you will help you daily, I'm a living testimony. I've had several people try and debate me over Being baptized in the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost? That's not going to get you into heaven. I'm sorry to offend but I must tell the truth. Those are merely titles, where is that name. Something about the name Jesus, it is the sweetest name I know. See the God in the New Testament IS the same God in the Old Testament.
I do know while there was baptisms by John the Baptize in the Trinity, he himself tells us of another required baptism. John the Baptize said, "There is one that comes after me, who's shoes I'm unworthy to fill that will baptize you with the Fire and Holy Ghost." You see the key, the whole plan is in Jesus. Without his blood shed, we would have nothing to cover our repentance. Without his death, we would have no Holy Spirit inside us, therefore our destiny would not be heaven. So when your get baptized in The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost, those are just titles, there is no name present. Where is the power mentioned. I know a lot of times it's what we have always been taught so I get it. That's why reading the Bible, all of it, is fulfilling to the soul. I learn something new every go round. Example, my name is Sonya but I'm a daughter, sister, cousin, niece, and a mother. Will you address me as such or will you address me as Sonya?
People will argue but why did Jesus cry out Father while being crucified because the spirit left him and he was just flesh, remember God knows NO sin. Jesus prayed if the cup could pass because he knew he was the sacrifice and all the torment and pain, he'd go through. He said not my will but your will. Jesus was without sin and had every sinned committed into him and he forgave them because it had to be done. Jesus was a REAL man when he died, he felt everything for you and me, he knew our mess before we knew our mess. How can people not see, I pray this is received in Jesus name. Research the Bible if you don't believe me but there is no medium between heaven and hell. There is no place that after you die, you can say forgive me and get saved.
The Father is God(the spirit), The Son is Jesus(the spirit wrapped in flesh, sent to die for us), the Holy Ghost(is that spirit that's on the inside of us once we receive it).God is Jesus and Jesus is God. Jesus said it himself and people still don't get it, "No man comes into the Father but by me." You have to go down in Jesus name and there is no short cut around. People want to sprinkle their face to resemble being baptized. When your out all day in the heat or is just dirty, do you just stick your face in the shower or do you emerge your whole body? Someone said, "how do you know God is real?" I said, "well how do you not know or see that he is real." It's funny cause God has a way of letting you know he is real. My life is far from perfect but my best unsaved day can't hold a candle to my worse saved day. I might of had it all but I was lost. Now I have it all cause I don't fear where I'm going because as long as I got Jesus I'm free.
I wrestled with doing this blog for weeks but I couldn't shake it. I remember crying to one of my family members, and I told her this new love that God has put inside me enables me from keeping him to myself. I have to share what I know because I want us all in heaven, the passion I have for the Bible and Jesus outnumbers my emotions of making someone upset. You know that God says, before everyone dies or appears before judgement that EVERY single last human on EARTH will hear or see the plan of salvation. No person will have an excuse. I can imagine a person saying but Lord I knew not, and he is like but yes, remember that blogger you thought was crazy or that billboard you read, that church you visited, that holy roller co-workers words, you just didn't receive it. I can't even fathom what the Atheist says at the gate, I mean your standing before the "Shekinah Glory" himself and you think what, your in a walking dream? People always say, when the time is right, Jesus said there would be signs, look around us, the time is now, the bridegroom(God) is coming. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us, and wherever a tree falls so shall it lay. I thank God for not letting me die in my sin, and I offer myself daily and ask him to use me not for the saved but for the lost.
You have to have a relationship with him to even get into heaven. Imagine if you pull up to a strangers home, walked in and sit down to eat, you are going to have some problems because they don't know you. How is it that we have this idea that folks that don't live for him much less know him are dying and going to heaven. They don't know him!!! I can only pray someone that needs this, reads this, and that no one was offended. I'm just a vessel and can only pray this is received. I beg those that don't know him to try him, he did it for me, he will do it for you. I'm not promising you a perfect life but a life of freedom.
Thank you all/Be Blessed

Random Situations On My Mind
People always say, "when will enough be enough." Ummmm when it is enough clearly. The world is full of talkers but problems are not being solved. I've seen women, including myself, go through some mess. Now days I'm the one sitting on the fence, drinking her tea, waiting for it. Boom there it is, the same reason they were pissed at me, for saying, " I can't keep getting punched on." That would be the same reason they leave.smh. Reason why I will never say leave or stay in a relationship. Everyone has that line in the sand, some peoples are a little further then others. Either way the person on the outside don't win ever with giving advice on leaving or staying in a relationship. Lord forbid if your single. We are lonely broads with big mouths or so I heard. Lol. Now, check this real quick, marriage doesn't mean happily ever after and single doesn't mean lonely.
I have a high tolerance for pain so does that make it okay for a man to beat my butt at any given opportunity. It's the same with love just because that woman made a choice to love and forgive a man, doesn't make it okay for him to continue on being a dog. I do however understand that if the woman allows it, then it will happen? Excuse me for thinking, there is just some stuff you don't do and are taught not to do as a child. Keep your hands to yourself is taught at a very young age. Everyone on this earth is giving a name use it. We don't need our names remixed with B**** this or H** that and Punk this or Weak N**** that. My personal favorite, if you can't keep your legs closed or it in your pants stay single. The perks of being an American and living in the land of the free.
I'm sick of the excuses that we are always giving some black men, and yes I just went there. Man up because women are over it. How is it, if it's praises your open to claim responsibility for the act. If it's criticism you push the plate away and fall into the land of excuses. Okay you ain't have no parents, you ain't the first. Your dad was absent, okay and your point because your doing a awesome at repeating his mistakes. You lived in a bad neighborhood, okay and? That's all I know, well learn something different. It falls on death ears to me because if your not taking responsibility for your actions their being excused. I have to pray constantly not to be rude or one sided because personally I'm over most of you excuse makers. It's hard to respect a person that have not a ounce of it for themselves.
I happen to know some awesome men that have been through hell and back growing up and they turned out awesome. Not always perfect but they embraced what people thought would hold them down and used it as stepping stones to move up. I understand it's different weaknesses and strengths for people based on the individual. However you have to be willing to learn and to do better. Life will not force greatness on you. You have to decide whether to fight against the odds stacked against you, or fold and lay there. If you make the choice to lay there, own your mess and stop with the excuses. I hate when something negative happens in our community and it's no wow factor. I mean really we been dying and been screaming fix it, fix it. I'm not shocked anymore, I'm sad because I know lessons are not being learned when some black men are excused for all the mishaps or the things they lack. Some black women are excused for carrying on as if home training doesn't exist.
I hate to see the young die, I hate seeing young super criminals, and I hate seeing young people locked up. I hate that black women hate each other and are always ready to jump bad. Maybe the lady looking at you thinks your beautiful but nope that's just impossible (sarcasm). I'll be in the store and I'll speak, and they will roll their eyes or don't even acknowledge that someone addressed them not all but most times. Their children see and is learning it's okay to be rude because mommy great at it. Since when is it wrong for someone so say something to your child, if your child is out of line. I've seen and heard of parents cursing folks out for addressing their children in front of the child. Lol. So again you say what we going to do, no what are y'all going to do. I'll lift you up in prayer but I'm not standing in the line of fire for people that don't feel their wrong or need help. Prayer is best policy because we adults are the reason 95% of the time, the children act the way they act. Let's fix ourselves so our children can follow our lead.
I'm always annoyed by people always posting these we need to or change this rants. Hello, friend find a mirror, repeat all of that wonderful stuff you just typed to yourself. You have to be the change you want to see. I mean in real life not just in ARIEL FONT life. I mean to strive daily to be the change you want to see. Stop with the excuses. For example my name is Sonya, if you feel the need to call me anything other than, hold that thought. Keep your hands to yourself women and men. Take up boxing, get a hobby that relieves stress. We are in the land of the free be single if your not ready for commitment. Women be women, men be men it's simple but we make it hard. No life is smooth sailing but it can be a lot nicer if you wanted it to be. Being happy is a choice and we choose our choice everyday.
Love yourselves, life is too short to be at odds with yourself because of self hate. Only deal with people that enhances your light, shine bright at all times. Avoid joy stealers. Forgive even though it's hard to do sometimes. Forgive because it's not making their life better but yours. Ladies mostly but some men as well, if you get back with your partner after they've had a discretion, don't throw it up every time you get mad. If you can't get past it, keep it moving. Trust me I know, I was on and off with a man for TEN years wondering why it wasn't working. Well duh, I'd taken a man in my bed on repeat that I hadn't forgave and still had a lot of bitterness towards him. I believe time heals all not in a certain order but I believe it eventually the scabs fall off, scars might be left but at least you made it through the war. Excuses will never make you better, but will eventually shake your foundation loose.
Thanks for reading/Blessings to you all
