Welcome To The Shed!
This is a place for those who are really passionate in following and being a disciple of Jesus Christ. You have decided at some point, not my will, but your will be done Father. Through many trials, test and sufferings you have found that your faith in Jesus Christ is the only thing that really matters on the earth. You have come to know that you were not born to live a life of self pleasing and self worship. All those things you held dearly at one point and time seems so meaningless at this point in comparison to the great will of God spelled out in His word. You no longer want to continue to break God's heart with a preoccupation of your own selfish wants and needs in this life.
Romans 5:1-21
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. ...
Realizing that Almighty God created you for His purpose and not your own; you can see this now because you have come to know just how much He loves you. How much He desires to spend eternity with you and not only you, but everyone around you. As you have gone through His word you can now see how He has spent love, chasing mankind on the wave of free will, to love Him back unconditionally. Oh yes, He could, but He will not force you to love Him. This you must do willingly on your own. With you in mind, He waits patiently with an abudance of grace and mercy always communicating to us that it is never too late to turn to Him. No matter what I've done, God is ready and willing to forgive me and accept me into His Kingdom. When others are quick to remind me of what I was, He does not. When my family can't forgive me of my present and past wrongs, He does. Those times when I felt really lonely and alone, He was there. When I had no idea where my next meal was coming from, He provided.
Romans 8:37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
1John 4:16
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
He has led me to know that religion can't save me and transform me, only His love and Spirit can. He assures me that I am not crazy when I see the many contrasts to His word in the church building. Through my frustration of witnessing so many contradictions, even in the pulpit, He has given me the greatest measuring stick. Therefore, I will not bow down to man's wisdom and religiosity, but try every spirit and look to Jesus. Jesus is the greatest example, God in this flesh, still with us in Spirit, and showing us the way. Whenever the spirit of confusion is brought on by Satan, man, and this world's revelation, I look to Jesus and right away everything is clear.
Ephesians 2:8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
James 1:22-27
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. ...
Finally, day by day, I shed the religious attacks that stand in the way of God's grace for my life. I rebuke them without shame and lift up the name that is above every name. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. It is in Him and Him only, by God's grace, that can set and keep me free. There are no works I can do that are worthy of separating me from God's grace and mercy. My works are as filthy rags. Help me everyday, oh God, to know that it is you and you alone who keeps me and not my will but yours, forever and ever.
SHED RELIGION AND TRULY STAND FOR JESUS CHRIST!!!
Romans 8:31-39
New King James Version (NKJV)
God’s Everlasting Love
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
