I don't understand how the fact you did this shit all on your own doesn't strengthen your fucking balls to overloaded capacity..
You beat your fucking demons by yourself, man. Be proud of that.
To give all the praise to God or Jesus diminishes your own effort you put into this. You're selling yourself short..
The credit goes to you, just you, only you. YOU did it. BY YOURSELF. Your belief in religion may have facilitated it, and you might not have done it without religion, but you fucking did it.
I'm proud of you. And I hate to rain on your religious parade, but I believe it's unfair to attribute religion to the worlds solutions, especially if it's obvious the same outcome could have prevailed without it.
Absolutely not...I did not beat the demons myself...I was headed down a scary road...My gf said she was really started to get worried about me like something was going to happen to me in the taxi I drive...either from a passenger, someone on the street, etc....Things were turning real bad...I had about no Holy Spirit left in me...It all culminated one night into terrible terrible night...I never really fear for myself in that cab but by the end of the night I was driving around with my shield closed....I never have it closed....
Satan was unleashing his demons (through people that were getting in my cab)....It was the worst night of cabbin' I ever had, and all came to a head when I got two nasty guys in the back who freaked out when I told them they I needed money up front for a fare...I figured they were either going to hurt me or do something to my cab or both.....So I took them to the cops where one guy got out, and the other kicked out a back window....
That was the final straw for me....I need protection out there....That is what the Holy Spirit does...
Psalm 5:12King James Version (KJV)
12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
Now, if you don't have Jesus then you don't have the Holy Spirit....And if you are not a follower of Jesus, then there is only one thing you could be following whether you realize it or not...That's Satan....He has many fooled....Jesus calls him the King of all Liars, and that lies is his native tongue....
here is a verse Jesus speaking:
John 8:44King James Version (KJV)
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Ever since I came back to the Lord I have had total peace not just in the taxi but all around me...I used to get into it with various cab drivers...No more....Sounds crazy but even people I run into in everyday life are more friendly...Coffee shop, gas station, etc.....It's not crazy though...That is what the Holy Spirit can do...The Holy Spirit is God...God is good....God is truth...God is peace.....True peace.....
Jesus came into this world with so sin, and the viciously, unmercifully, and brutally beat him...They spit in his face...The son of God....The only person to have never sinned in this world !!!! That is how bad, and how filthy this world is !!!! Absolutely brutal !!!
With the crucifixion of Christ, God was pleased...That was the ultimate sacrifice...Jesus died for all so that sins may be forgiven...However, not all are forgiven...You first have to accept Jesus' death, and that he died for your sins....You have to understand that sin is an abomination to a Holy God, and that you are now condemned to Hell and the Lake of Fire for all of eternity...The Bible states there will be "weeping and gnashing of teeth"...Not a place I would wish on my worst enemy which is why I now pray for my enemies....
I pray that anyone reading this will accept Jesus, and not end up in the Lake of Fire for all of eternity....THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF GUYS !!!! PLEASE DON'T DISREGARD THIS !!!!! God gives everyone chance(s) to receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ....Please accept him as your saviour from eternal damnation !!! Let Jesus baptize you with the Holy Spirit !!! Here's a link to a little "life cartoon"...please read it to the end...It may be life changing for you!!!
If you agree that you are a sinner, and understand that God does not like sin...Then please say the prayer at the end..Pray to God in Jesus' name...Then repent, and enjoy eternal life !!! I pray that anyone who reads this will find eternal life from Jesus !!!!!
