John, The Disciple of Christ.✝️

It has been awhile since I last posted something here. Hello 👋🏾 to all of my new followers, & hello to everyone else. I hope your day goes well & you are blessed beyond comprehension this day. For those who are curious I'm doing pretty well all things considered and so is Sophia.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 ESV I hear from so many people who tell me that they struggle with a particular sin, and it seems to dominate their thoughts. Perhaps they act the right way, but internally they feel the urge to fail. I want to explain that if that person is you: congratulations! You’re normal. And even more, you have produced a fruit of the spirit, namely Self Control. Mind you, I know it’s important to work on our thoughts and feelings, funneling them away from sin and toward healthy emotions. But if you didn’t have negative thoughts, you wouldn’t need self control! If you were never attracted to women, choosing not to ogle an attractive one isn’t a virtue. It’s the heterosexual man who very much enjoys the female form that demonstrates virtue by refusing to allow lustful thoughts to control his actions. THAT is self control! If you have a dirty mouth and you catch yourself before uttering profanity, congratulations! You have also exercised self control! It’s the fact that you have temptations in the first place that makes self control virtuous! Now no, there’s nothing sacred about searching for endless vices to resist to prove your holiness. But the difference between sin and holiness often comes down to this vital spiritual fruit. I have noticed in western society that we treat negative emotions like a disease. WHY do we even have them? It’s shameful! We don’t even seem to talk about them! Negative emotions are a part of life, folks. It’s normal to be sad, angry, frustrated, or attracted. It’s not sinful to have emotions, but it IS sinful to react the wrong way to them. For the record, positive emotions can also be sinful if we react the wrong way! Pride is a terrible sin but self confidence is healthy. Self control is a vital spiritual fruit because it gives a healthy way to express and experience “negative emotions”. Your Heavenly Father notices and rewards self control, and you may find that as you express it, temptations begin to wane. Even Jesus was tempted by Satan to turn stone to bread after a 40 day fast. The bible teaches that He was tempted in every way. That means Jesus felt the urge to sin, yet exercised self control and did not do so. So again, don’t hate yourself for having feelings. Learn to process them in a healthy way and exercise self control. That’s obedience to Christ!

@TheresaArueyin1 Longing.

In one word, tell me what your heart feels today. No story, no reason just one word.

Sometimes He will tell us the why, sometimes He won’t. Either way, Lord lead me & I will follow. My hope & trust is in you alone ✝️🙌🏻.

Unfortunately most of the VTubing space is against Christianity, but know choosing the Lord will always be better than joining a group like Vristas. They are only tolerant of people in their circle, anyone with even a slight deviation (despite being respectful), are ostracized. God bless you, keep your eyes on Christ and everything else will fall into place. :)

Marry someone who loves Jesus more than they love you.

I am tired of falling in love. For once, I want someone to wholeheartedly, incandescently fall in love with me. I want them to wake up, remember my existence, then be happy for the rest of the day. I want them to write cute little poems and thoughts on paper and burn them, allowing their ashes to make their way to me so that I can inhale their love into my entire body. I want to be the subject of someone’s life, the reason they began writing love letters, the reason they began romanticizing life; the reason they keep on living. Or am I just asking for too much? 😭

@mikuryne Hehehe, this is relatable. I just want to find a kind, wholesome, Christian woman to fall in love with, build a family together, and make a home for our future children so we can all love together in peace and happiness.

CAN I STOP SEEING COUPLES ART, OR BEING SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO'S TAKEN, ENGAGED, AND MARRIED? YES I'M JEALOUS AHHHHHHHHHHH I KNOW I'M SINGLE, I KNOW I WON'T FIND ANYONE SO STOP REMINDING ME OF HOW LONELY I AM EEEEEEEEEEE

God’s nugget loving dragon:

Reasons I've been told I'm not a "REAL CHRISTIAN" on X over the years. •I play poker. •I have tattoos. (A Bible verse & wife's name) •Too "vain" & focus too much on being in shape. •I post shirtless pictures. •We went to a bigger evangelical church for a while, not a REAL CHURCH. Reasons I know I'm a Christian: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 6:23 Only ONE thing that makes me, Zuby, you, or anyone a Christian ..... the blood of Jesus. I know @ZubyMusic personally & very well. He's legit the most humble guy you'll ever meet, starts everyday in the Bible, & rarely gives credit to anyone but God for all his success. The amount of propaganda it's taken for governments to convince sheeple it's NOT CHRISTIAN unless you give away 50% of your money to a corrupt government is WILD!!!!! Also, maybe read that verse on the SPECK in your brother's eye & the LOG in your own. USE THE BIBLE AS A MIRROR TO BETTER YOURSELF not as a weapon to judge others you don't even know.

@ArmorOfFaith91 Same here 🤣

What the heck. Yes. Yes I do. I feel called out lol

The more I read the Bible, the less I argue with people about it. If you understand this, you’ve grown.

📗1 John 5:5-“Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”

“Ignorance of the scriptures is a great precipice and a deep gulf; to know nothing of the scriptures is a great betrayal of our salvation.” St. John Chrysostom, 4th century.

One thing i do know is God is always going to come through as He is faithful always ,He answers prayers and is always watching over us

Pretty certain these posts are rage bait or something but like.. No. Don't speak for all women like this. It is very much not unattractive.

@ArmorOfFaith91 That's great to hear, I hope and pray you have a blessed day sister. 🙏🏾

It's a dress wearing kind of day... because why not.. I had a horrible mental day yesterday.. need to do something to feel a lil better :)

When God calls you to a different mission, you obey. I thank’d the organizers of this group for the opportunity to have joined them. I will forever stand on Gods Word, & for what is right. Praying for the souls that are lost, only God can save. Thank you & God Bless.

His grace is sufficient. His sacrifice was enough. Thank you, Jesus ❤️
