Praise God for today! He is awesome everyday! He is powerful, mighty, merciful, WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!! Tonight, True Light had an awesome service. I mean, you could feel the Holy Spirit. He was in the house. I love True Light. This is the second time that I have been there, and both times, I felt the Holy Spirit. His presence was there. The devotion is so wonderful each time. I mean, the Lord has blessed the voices each time they go up there. So amazing!!!
Speaking of amazing, I have only 7 more days until my church family & I go to Washington, DC. The trip is actually on the outskirts of it, but we are planning on going into Washington for sight seeing. Yay! It should be definitely great. I plan on taking as many pictures as I can.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I plan on posting my biblical studies here. I also plan on posting my own personal journal of putting Christ on. It shows the ways that help me put Him on everyday. I'm going to post the beginning tomorrow. Right now, I plan on posting the earlier journal entry that I wrote on the 11th of October. Here we go:

"Lusting, Songs, Desires"
Oh my! Okay, I have to admit today has not been the greatest day for me. I've sunken to a new low on the sin scale. Of course, it's my fault. You see, I have dropped the "armour of God" (Ephesians 6:11 tells us to "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Well, I've read the Bible, but I have not applied it to myself. The whole fact that Abraham had a strong, unwavering faith-that's what I need & want. Yet, repeating the sins of lusts, listening to worldly songs, desiring after something-not good. 1 Peter 2: 11 states "Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul." Peter is urging the people to abstain from fleshly lusts. To abstain, means that you refrain from something or do without. Peter further tells them that fleshly lusts wars against the soul. Why would I continue to give into something that is fighting against my soul. Losing to lust = a trip to hell. This is not something I need to be doing. It can costs me my soul. Romans 13:14 "But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh to fulfil the lusts thereof." We have to put on Jesus Christ. We have to embody Who He was-His characteristics, & not give room to our flesh. We have to shut the those doors down. Galatians 5:16 "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." If I want to beat this mess, I have to walk in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit lets us know what's wrong & right. It's a necessity that we listen & obey Him. 1 Peter 2:12 "Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold glorify God in the day of visitation." My actions speak louder than words. I have to represent God whole heartedly, honestly, every single day-even when I don't feel like it. Our godly behavior can be very influential. I have to nip the issues in the bud & pursue God. Scripture of the day comes from 1: Peter 2:11-12
"Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; (12)Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation."
