Can I go to the movies with my friends? Can I drink a little beer if I don't get drunk? Can I have a girlfriend/boyfriend as long as we don't have sex? Can I smoke cigarettes? Can I listen to a little Beyonce and Lil'Wayne? Can I go to a club? Can I hang out with my friends at some one's house until 3:00am in the morning? Can I text my life problems to people I don't know on myspace and aim? Can I yell abusively to my parents just because I don't feel good? Can I quit school and sleep all day? Can I have an abortion? Can I...? Can I...? Can I...?
Plain and simple... YES YOU CAN!
But, you shouldn't...
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (Amplified Bible)
And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
WOw when I read this and saw the "yes you can!" im like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!! then I scrolled down and see the bible verse on the bottom and was like "pheew" this blog was about to be switched to TDC youth in Prison!!!lol
ReplyDeleteLOL JULIO! haha.
ReplyDeleteWow Glory to GOD...also, 1 Corinthians 6:12 "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything."(NASB)
Can i do, act and talk however i please? can i talk badly behind my brothers/sisters back? can i have a double personality?
ReplyDeleteor
should i tell the Lord to rebuke all impurities and corruption within us that we dont even know of ?
..seek for holiness and aim for a pure heart in front of Gods eyes << =]santoooo !
I DID THE SAME THING JULIO LOL...I WAS LIKE YO WHAT HE TALKEN ABOUT YO HE'Z TRIPPEN...BUT GLORY TO GOD CUZ IF U DONT HAVE RESPECT FOR URSELF HOW DO U EXPECT PPL 2...I AGREE WITH YOU ESMIR
ReplyDeleteOOH ESMIR...ay santo.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to this, I was reading a book one time (Bait of Satan by John Bevere, I highly reccomend if you have the chance to read it), and the brother was writing about impurities...how when gold is being refined, that's when all the impurities come out. When God puts us through tests, sometimes we see things about ourselves that we've never noticed before, stuff that is not pleasing to Him, things that gotta GO somewhere far away! So keep in mind, God is gonna test you, it's a hard thing because sometimes there are things that we don't wanna go through but it is neccesary for God to put us through the fire, mold us, and shape us according to His will. The Word of God says in the book of Isaiah, chapter 43 verse 2: "when you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you."
There's more but I'll end it there. LOL.
Ok, I think sol needs her own blog... LOL!
ReplyDeleteNo, but all jokes aside. Isn't it weird how we only ask if we can do something when deep down inside we know that we shouldn't...
Hence why I started one...hahahaha
ReplyDeleteWe only ask when we know we shouldn't on the off chance that maybe we can...does that make sense? LOL

Hey, Thanks Giovanni for getting down with the blog. How you doing? How's baby? I hope your on fire for God bro... Don't ever forget what God has for you! Alaba!
ReplyDeleteYea I know we only trully ask when we dont want the Holy spirits oppinion because if we really got to praying and asking God on what we should do or what we can or cannot and asking Him to lead us in all times and to guide us not into temptation and all of that pluss constantly maditating on hes word daily I will highly doubt you'd be saying "can I?can I?can I?"winy little voice "lol and be rebuked and convicted by the Holy Spirit thats living in you and that watches everything you do to Help you to guide you to cleanse you to push you to seek and obey the will of God and not your own He trully will never leave you or forsake you,Its one of the biggest blessing that our Holy Father gave us through Jesus ....Halellujah!!!I went on a "Preaching Maniah" lol
