Whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.(Luke 14:27)<\/span>
<\/strong>
These are the words of Jesus the Christ sent to save His people. The charge of Immanuel Who is God with us to give us power of unconditional love and eternal life. As part of our witness for Christ\u00a0 we must all be cross bearers. We are, in fact, our brothers keeper. We are also lovers of those who would use and abuse us namely our enemies. <\/strong><\/p>\n

As GOD has and continue to prove himself over and over and over,\u00a0 it\u00a0 certainly reaches the point when one must acknowledge who God is, what he has done and what He is capable of doing. These are things that certainly cannot be ignored. From time to time as I look back over my life at some of the things that I have done, not only am I\u00a0 mindful, but I also come to the realization of exactly who I am….”A Sinner Saved By Grace”.\u00a0 I for one, am so glad that GOD is a GOD of many chances and that he has never turned his back on me even when my so called friends did. He was there through all of my trials and tribulations, my ups and my downs, my good days and my bad days and I am just so grateful. GOD saved me from myself over and over again and I am committed to following him. It took me long enough to realize and to truly see the REAL picture. Salvation is guranteed to each of us. It’s already paid for with his blood. We only need to confess with our mouths that GOD is Lord and that He lives for he lives within each of us. This is my Personal Testimony and T.G.B.A.G.! (To God Be All Glory)<\/strong>
