For This People’s Heart Has Grown Dull
Matt 13:15 For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them. ESV
I was awakened the other morning by the Lord, He gave me the above verse. I wrote it down, expecting He’d tell me what to do with it later.
When I started writing this article, I wrote the verse and one sentence, then did nothing for a couple of days. I felt blocked and I didn’t know what to write. So as not to make things worse, I left it for a while.
A young man I know came to mind, he’s filled with great anger and hate towards God. His eyes and ears are shut to God and his heart is turned to where God isn’t. While on my mind, I prayed for him a bit. When I returned to my writing, I looked at the verse and the one sentence written and things became clear. This young man was what I was to write about, not him as a person, but him as a type of person.
The world is filled with people, who don’t now, nor ever will, know God. Understand, as bad as that is, that’s not what I’m talking about. What I’m talking about is, that the church, by majority, is the same way. This is why we, the body of Christ, have not, and are not now, seeing the miracles of God happen daily, the way they did in the first century church.
We must repent. We’ve taken advantage of His grace. How much longer do you expect God to allow our disobedience. Don’t in your arrogance, put it off for another day. Today may be your last chance.
God said, “ Turn and I will heal you.”
Our Journey
Ok, here's the news, Colleen and I, who just became boyfriend and girlfriend 31 days ago, are now engaged to be married. The day I asked her to marry me, we'd been boyfriend and girlfriend for 28 days
If you've read the comments of the "Colleen and I Are A Couple", then you've read Colleen's comment and you already know this. It was last Sunday, Sept 28, right after services, Colleen and I were standing in the isle. And out of the blue, I asked her to marry me. This is very uncharted territory for me, I don't know how to do this. So, as you may think, I'm sure I did this wrong. Although, Colleen's heart melted and flowed out her eyes, so I did something right after all. Yea me.
I'm sorry it took me so long to write about this, though it's only been three days, but I should've written about this, Sunday night.
Here's some irony or something similar, as much as I wanna write and I'm not writing, how bizarre. Also, how does this fit into this article, again, I say, how bizarre.
Well, at least I've written something. Also, I'm gonna change the name of a category. I wrote the "Colleen and I are a couple" article and created the category "A Beginning" for that article. Now I'm gonna replace "A Beginning" with "Our Journey", watcha reckon? Thanks for being patient and still reading my blog, I'll try to do better, by that, I mean write more often or more regularly.
God bless
Wesley
We plan to get married next Spring.
What am I doing?
Ok, so I wanna write, I guess I'll try blogging. I'm not sure what I'm gonna write, but I hope yawl enjoy it. I'm 42, though I look 25-30. I'm a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, though I still mess up. I'm Southern and I have a very strong southern accent, so I'm told. I intend to share things with yawl, that I experience, the good and the bad. I have a friend who's a blogger, and reading her blog, Shark Girl, has gotten me interested.
Ok, I was reading my Bible a couple of days ago and the Lord put Matthew 6:14-15 on my heart, and as I read the verses a few times, as I meditated on His Written Word. I understood the reason He gave me these verses, it's because I had unforgiveness in my heart.
The verses say, paraphrased, if we forgive others, God will forgive us, but if we don't forgive others, then He won't forgive us. How many times do you think people have read these verses, but never quite understood how serious the message is. If we hold anything, great or small, against someone, then God doesn't forgive us, this is very scary. So, I started asking our Father to show me any unforgiveness in my heart. I'm trying to pay more attention to the thoughts in my mind, by not allowing evil thoughts towards anyone and if I do, to give it up immediately, confess and ask forgiveness.
I hope someone gets understanding from this, I didn't go into any detail, I just thought this would be a good beginning, since this is the last rhema I've gotten from our Father, a rhema is a word that God speaks to directly to you, to your heart. I don't intend for this to be the only topic I blog about, I'm gonna write about whatever I've got on my mind, but I am a child of God and I'm trying to, as it is written in Matthew 6:33, Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and Luke 17:21 says, The Kingdom of God is within you.
So, this is my first blog, I hope yawl liked some of what I wrote, understand, I am a beginner, I'm sure I'll get better with practice, also, I'm gonna read other blogs, to get an idea of what I'm doing. God bless yawl.

This is an after thought, in writing my blog, I'll speak about what I believe. I don't intend to change your beliefs, you believe what you will, God gave us free will. Just know this, in 1 Timothy 4:1, it says, The Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. So, when you read the Bible, you can't righteously say, I believe this, but not this. How small is your God? If He's the creator of all, wouldn't He only put in the Bible, what He wants us to know? Why is it there, if it isn't for us to read and know and do? God bless yawl.
I eagerly await any comments, whether you agree with what I've written or not.
