Worldly or Renewed

Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Wow, this scripture speaks volumes to me.  When I gave it all to God my mind started to become renewed.

Last week is my new birthday. April 14, 2011 I went to a WPF Summit Conference in Tulsa, OK, in between working and relaxing from the day.  The Holy Ghost was so powerful this night for me. He came down like rain. Pastor Henderson and his wife prayed over me and I felt the movement but didn’t submit to it.

I had always wondered , as I watched other women be able to just let go and let God have His way with them, how they could do that. I just couldn’t seem to bring myself to do it. But this night after they prayed over me and I thanked them for doing so, I continued to worship God. The next thing I know Amy Diaz is coming up to my right and holding me and Royce Ann Henderson is on my left and another Godly woman was in front of me. All three were praying for me. I felt a fire building and building and eventually I let go. I surrendered. What a beautiful thing, to surrender your all to Jesus. Amen!

I cannot tell you the peace I have in my life where once I was in turmoil and miserable, not knowing where I was going and who was going to be with me on the journey of life.

With the scripture above, found in Romans, you can only know the truth of this scripture when you truly submit to God. Once you do, it is very important to stay in the word and around your brother and sisters in Jesus.  It is imperative to keep growing in the word. If not, you could very well find yourself sucked back in to the world and the way it turns. So turn to God and His words that help encourage us, comfort us, heal us and most importantly bring us closer in our walk to living righteously.

Looking to the right of this post, you will see my Fruitcake TV.  In this YouTube account are many videos of me singing back in 2008 for the Operation Rising Star Competition. That was then, I am different now. To some I might look worldly but that isn’t the case anymore.  My hair is longer and more natural. My appearance has changed and many might not like it or think that I have joined a religious group but I am telling those who are reading this right now and feel that way that, that is the farthest thing from the truth. I am growing so much right now and making my life right, slowly. I am not perfect and I still do the “wrong” things but I am trying to live my life for Jesus. Doing what He would want me to do.
