Dear HOL YOUTH,

A time will come where all of us have to part ways. I must say, it was a privilege getting to know all of you. All of us have formed some relationships. Some relationships are stronger than others. I cherish all the times we spent together at church, bible studies, soccer, home of love and the rest. You are talented and unique in your own ways. You have challenged me in my walk with God and for that I say thank you.

I pray that we will hold fast to our faith and to all that we have learned in home of love. I pray for the best for each of you in your endeavors. I can’t wait to see your bright futures with your spouses and children. I pray for peace, love, happiness in the next chapters of your lives. For some of you this might be the only time I will get to see you guys again, I pray that wherever life takes you that you will continue to shine for Christ.

I have seen little Joseph and David grow before my eyes. We have seen Victoria with no hair but now she has this long hair and she is in college (lol!). We have seen little Jubilee and Grace grow before our eyes. My favorite video is seeing someone (u know) drop their pants while dancing (lol!). I remember the time I was taller than Elijah before I knew it, he was tall. Little Vincent now has swag (lol!). The list goes on and on. Little mama is now done with school (can you imagine?). Time flies so fast (where did time go?).

Some of you may not like me or pretend to like me for the sake of peace (excuse my honesty). I want all of you to know, I love all of you and our times together. I know this letter is kind of cheesy (some would say!) but you all have a special place in my heart regardless if you like me or not.

Keep Shining for Christ! Keep Shining!

Sincerely,
Me

Killing Lust Series: How to FIGHT Lust..

by

You can’t flirt with the spirit of Lust because it will DESTROY YOU. I overcame lust in my life by praying and fasting. I fasted and prayed for God to deliver me from this wicked demon. The enemy wants you to be casual with your prayers as you fight against lust. This is not the time to be casual with your relationship with God.

2 Cor 10:4 “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds”

If you want to defeat this wicked demon, you have to do warfare. I did warfare by praying and fasting. This wicked spirit is out to completely ruin your life. Fight for your life and future by raging war against this spirit in prayers.

Lust is an aggressive demon, it will linger if you are casual with praying and fasting. For people who don’t know what fasting is? Fasting to some people mean a lot of things. Personally, I fast by abstaining from food to spend time with God. The most important thing about fasting is that you are abstaining from something and spending time with God(correct me if I am wrong). Whatever fasting is to you, do it.. Fight!

Don’t joke with the spirit of lust. God has the power to deliver us from anything but we have to cry out to him to help us.

More to come!!

For those of you who don’t know I am starting a series on how to kill lust. I hope this encourages or inspires you to start your journey to kill lust in your life.

If you have any kind of addiction the spirit of lust is operating in your life. In other words, any habit that you can’t exercise self-control over is powered by the spirit of lust. You may not be addicted to sex; it could be drugs, alcohol, food etc. Some people clearly want to stop this habit but they can’t. Whatever I share is not limited to only people struggling with sex. If any self-destructive habit is controlling you please, keep up with this series and let’s overcome it together.

Let’s go:
The enemy has a plan with the spirit of lust.

5 Lies Every Twentysomething Needs to Stop Believing

Written by Paul Angone

Sarah had been told all her life she could do anything she wanted, that success was right around the corner. But now, stuck in a menial job at 25, with no big career in sight, she—like many twentysomethings—was feeling the pangs of disillusionment.

This sense of disillusionment often stems from the lies we’ve been told and have told ourselves. We’ve been lied to, and these lies are holding us back.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN YOUR STRUGGLE, QUESTIONS, WONDERING WHAT’S NEXT?, NOW WHAT?OR DO I HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

Too many twentysomethings are driving through the twists and turns of their twenties with windshields covered in mud, lies and half-truths. And then we wonder why so many of us have crashed?

We need to hose these lies off right now or spend our twenties stuck on the side of the road.

If we’re going to walk forward with the answers to the major questions we should be asking, successfully navigating our twenties, then we need to stop believing the following lies right now:

1. I’m the Only One Struggling

I would love to lock this lie away in a Serbian prison and give the key to a pack of Arctic wolves to defend. You are not alone in your struggle, questions, wondering what’s next?, now what? or do I have what it takes?

Our twenties are tough. That’s the truth. Too many twentysomethings are struggling through a quarter-life crisis all alone.

We all need help. We all need support. We all need nudges, prompts, advice and encouragement.

No one has it all figured out. The twentysomethings who think they do are in for the biggest shock of all.

RICH men are Overrated ..

Don’t let me wrong, I want to be with someone who can provide for his family but it is not a huge requirement that he has to be rich. Riches can buy comfort but not happiness. I don’t want a guy that is RICH in material things and poor in Character.

Read this single woman’s prayer, I found it in movie (the crazy thing is I think some women pray like this):

Father,
I need a man,
I need a real man not a small boy.
God, I need a man in my life.
A man in whose arms, I can lead on.
God,
it’s not like I am giving you condition but this man shouldn’t be poor.
See..
He should have about 2-3 cars..
Wait,
No.. 4 cars.
1 car for him and 3 cars for me.
God, You see..
He should be a tall guy nothing below 6ft with a chocolate complexion and dimple.
Please!
God please, no pot bellies.. I beg you! Six pack, Straight up!
God please.
He should be an American or British, you know what I mean?
God, that’s what’s up!
And he should be willing to give me access to his fast bank account.
God, I know you are a good God and you have heard my prayers.
That isn’t too hard for you.
Of course not because with you nothing shall be impossible..

******
Ridiculous Prayer but you’d be surprised how many women pray like this..

If you want a rich man, no problem!
Don’t settle for a rich man who treats you like crap!
Dating or marrying someone for their money is still low down too!

Killing Lust Series: The Door

doorFor those of you who don’t know I am starting a series on how to kill lust. I hope this encourages or inspires you to start your journey to kill lust in your life.

If you have any kind of addiction the spirit of lust is operating in your life. In other words, any habit that you can’t exercise self-control over is powered by the spirit of lust. You may not be addicted to sex; it could be drugs, alcohol, food etc. Some people clearly want to stop this habit but they can’t. Whatever I share is not limited to only people struggling with sex. If any self-destructive habit is controlling you please, keep up with this series and let’s overcome it together.

Let’s begin..
Personally, I had some experiences from my childhood that opened the door to lust. I was too young to understand the consequences of what I was going through. Even though, I was too young to understand that something wasn’t right, I knew that something wasn’t right (hard to explain).

There has to be a doorway for lust to enter your life. Maybe you were molested when you were younger or you got exposed to something that caused lust to enter your life.  Sometimes, we invite lust into our lives by ignorance or it comes in by experience.

The enemy doesn’t care how lust enters your life. He wants lust to stay in your life to destroy you.

John 10:10 says “the thief comes to steal, to kill and to destroy”

My childhood experience opened the door to lust in my life.

Answer this question: what opened the door to lust in my life?

More to Come..
