Spiritual Warfare

Time to breathe a deep breathe of fresh air. All I can think to do is inhale, exhale, pray, and worship. So time to explain so many different things, or really elaborate on some of past things and so without further ado I'll begin.
So you might remember me telling you of Satan trying to get me to look at porn, I never did as mentioned, now he's getting into my head about some sort of "sexual" crap and nope never had sex, yes I confess I've made some mistakes and not exactly keeping myself pure, like letting 2 guys kiss me and being a cuddle bunny with the other. Certainly it was poor judgement and a poor job of keeping myself pure. Now really I regret these mistakes but have learned from them. In relation at our Bible Study (Life Group) we discussed salvation, further extent on grace and our position in Christ. Really the thing that sticks out to me is, God knows every sin, past, present, and just every single one! Not to mention we NEED TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST!!! Just as John 10 says" “I am the good Shepard”. Wild and crazy it's been so just pray for this freaking crazy season.

Next off... Well in this "section" I think you are going to learn a little bit more about me and you'll see some "confessions" that even for me seems to be hard fact that is a painful reality check.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Well being the year of 2013 I knew it was going to be scary and I was right. <---- Not to sound prideful. Anyway, the story goes like so:
It was actually about December and my parents had made the final decision about leaving a church (aka my comfort zone) the fact that 2 years earlier I had boast fully said, “I have no comfort zone” uhh yeah I do so reality check; don't get comfortable anywhere because God will move you to somewhere where you are absolutely not comfortable. As the last week in December came it was “goodbye”, I wore my "testify" shirt because I was an absolute rebel to this idea. Now I said, “don't say goodbye yet I'll still be around” three months later still haven't come back and the only reason I said not to say goodbye was because one, I absolutely loathe goodbyes, two I still had every intent on coming back as soon as I could drive, three, actually this is pretty well referred to my childhood experience of leaving Michigan, but the point was I said goodbye and I was back within a month and a half. Personally I think it's a numbing experience because I hate pain. Anyway, I still came back to CoG within a day so I mean really it was all of God.
Next issue was officially going to Cottonwood, like I said it's not a bad church, but even though we have been attending the youth group since September (below I'll show you a picture taken by Mrs.Miller) anyway, my reaction at first was “meh it's a bit light on teaching and the worship is really upbeat” we go and Faith and Emily actually love it and apparently so do Mom and Dad. Me was just down right stubborn, but I had to admit I had fun and thought oh fine! Never did I think of the full time commitment on Sundays, but I was perfectly comfortable with every other week. But here I am and I gave in all surrender. It later came to me, “I have no joy!” Not even a little bit! I thought and thought, “why does God have us at Cottonwood?” Still struck at the question I assumed either to grow in a relationship (that is with a young man.) no that's not it either. Now I think I know the reason and it could be just me doing ministry like doing Power Point (camera duty).
So I never really feared growing up... Oh crap, yes I do now. Ha yeah pride again slapped into my face. So yes because hormones and finding out I'm like my dad's family that struggles with depression so looks like it's pretty bad after all God please give me strength.
Now many of you may or may not know, but we used to have a lot of animals and I loved them in all but it's good to not have them so now I kinda feel lonely.
Normally I'm typically "independent" but I think I'm more dependent now in realizing I need people and fellowship.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but 2013 is still dreaded. Sill if you haven't noticed about me I'm not very optimistic and I'm normally the person who encourages people. <---- I think....
Also you can tell I'm very uncertain. Witch clearly just me saying that because decisions and such things haunt me. <---- I know, I know- its normal for a human being. (Reality check because humans are humans and we do the same thing like worrying and such unimportant things).

So as for Spiritual Warfare... Well as far as humans and the timeline goes it's just a fragment. If God has chosen us then Satan will want us back.
Lets just say the flesh and soul in the same body makes a lot of fighting. So it's fighting fire with fire. Basically my thoughts are we shouldn't have to worry about warfare because if we are in Christ Jesus then the war is already won and we are already with Jesus in Heaven. Not to mention no one can pluck us out of His hand and we are united with Him, like One Baptism and One Faith. I can tell you though, we are in One Body too. Okay let's explain the Body of Christ in a new way.... Titled: The Ultimate Love Story
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The Ultimate Love Story:
In the Bible God -or the Trinity- is often used in a Masculine form and Israel is in a form of Feminine form in books that have to do with prophecy.
So in Isaiah (a book of both History and prophecy) God often says to the author Isaiah, “tell Israel her sins have been forgiven” Then we see in Revelation the Bride of Christ. This is like a love story because God tells Israel her sins are forgiven (actually the reason for her and feminine form of Israel is because in the Hebrew or Aramaic language cities are in feminine form) anyway, see God sends His Son for us! His bride He loves His people. But you see in Revelation that we will be united officially with Christ as one body. So like in a love story the Princesses is longing to find her "Prince charming" and she eventually finds him then they have to fight for love even though they will mocked and others will not approve. So they at the end eventually get married and have a happily ever after. I'll let you translate it how you will, but it is the ultimate love story. -if you want the long story or extended edition then just ask me when you see more or if you rather leave a comment or just whatever.
