Keeping the focus on my salvation

by Steven Pelkey on Friday, April 29, 2011 at 12:41pm

Nothing in this life ever surprises me. When I was young I grew up fast and wild with no sense of caring about making the right choice between the good and evil voices inside me. Came home from the military a drunk and drug abuser. Messed up relationships, got put in jail, and made enemies of many police officers. They could not change or break me with their tactics for I knew they didn't really care about me as a person they just saw me as a problem. I got to the point of being sick and tired all the time. Then one day after a miserable day at work everyone treating everyone like crap, then going to the bar after getting hammered and meeting up with stony friends in parking lot and burning weed on top of it, I went home and flopped in front of the TV. Flipped it on and who would be there but Rev. Billy Graham. Just about the first thing that happened was he turned to the camera and stared in. It seemed he was staring me right in the eye. And the first words that exited his mouth were are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? And he asked with the loving look of Jesus in his eyes. I lost it right at that moment! I heard this voice in me say," listen to the man Steven it's the truth". I sat there sobbing hanging on to every word Dr Graham said. The more he spoke the more I cried for I heard my sorry life in his words. The more I cried the better I felt inside at the time I didn't understand but later I did, I was being visited by God's Holy Spirit for the very first time. He was telling me He was right there with me consoling me. I went on that evening to pray the sinners prayer with Dr Graham and have not fallen totally away from God since. I have progressed a lot in my personal relationship with Jesus. I just love His Word! I hunger for it, and feed daily. I am now at the knowledge of total surrender to His WILL. I now spend a lot of time talking with others God points me toward trying for God's sake to give them an understanding in truth about how we are all connected and what God's Will for us truly is. People are much confused on this for the false teachings of the church. Satan has a lot of moles in the church and has tainted it to the point of confusion. People need to go by the Gospel nothing else! There is no reason for confusion! God's Word is sufficient as is His Grace! The one thing that is bringing destruction more than anything is man's overall unwillingness to surrender to God. Just like Satan overall man believes he is in control and he isn't!

The destruction of a nation

by Steven Pelkey on Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 1:21pm

When our nation was first conceived and the very first, and I might add considered to be healthy to the nation as a whole, tax scale laws were written the poor carried a small burden so they could improve their position in the community. The middle class carried more of a burden because they could but not too much as to hurt their position in the community and still leaving them room to gain position in the community. Those considered wealthy carried the heavier burden for they could afford it. They did this willingly for they were in the spirit of God to do so. And because of their actions God blessed them with even more great wealth and we became the envy of every nation of the world. Then greed for way more than anyone could ever need entered the hearts of the wealthiest few. Then that idea festered into the greed and the focus on money or mammon that we see all over the world today. Gone is the ideal of philanthropy that filled the hearts of our founding fathers. Today those who have have lost their way and now serve mammon and not God. The do not want to live the life and we are in the end times it's that simple. America has turned it's face from God in many ways and will be destroyed. We worry about out side enemies and we are destroying ourselves!The worst part about the whole thing these people who perpetrate this crime upon the nation claim to be followers of Jesus' Christ our Savior and Lord. I won't judge them for I don't want their judgement to fall upon me! They WILL BE JUDGED! For Jesus said many times about their rewards!
