  • True Life

                  

                                    The changing power of Amighty God on one Hopeless life.

     

     All Glory be to God  for who He Is and what has done in me and in other peoples lifes. This is really not about me, but about the awesomeness of Almighty & alpowerfull God. He knew me before I knew Him, He lost me because of the sin that is in the world, but God Had a plan to bring me back into His arms again. The plan was to give up His only son Christ Jesus to die on a cross and pay for my sin and take it way from me ( not only to take it away from me, but it wont have any power to contorl me). That If I ask Jesus Christ ( who is Lord, King & Savior) in my life, I will die to myself and have Him as my New life. I wont be the old man that lived and sinfull and hopeless life, but I’ll be full of Christ. I will be as He is! I will have the Holy Spirit, (which is the third part of the God Head) He will teach me all I need to know about Christ and Help life a life that is Like His. Christ Has taking away that power of  Sin and death, Christ is the Life that everyone need.  We are all dead in our sins and was on our way to Hell, But Thank God Christ step In and is willing to Change use to a something new, something like Himself.(Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Roman 6:6.) Christ is the way to God the Father, He is the truth to us In this truthless generation, and as you already know, Christ is the Life ( the true life, the new life, the only life). Without Him we are nothing, all we are is dust and ashes compared to Him, But He loved us and if we are only willing to giving EVERYTHING UP for him, even our own life, then we will have Christ. He (Christ) gave His very all for us (I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal 2:20). He never had to, but He did. Its all ready done, That was God’s perfect will. Also His will is for us to come back to Him wholeheartedly, not holding on to this world. That mean I cant Love Christ with all my Haert and love this world at the same time. If I love my life, my family, my home, my friends, my pets, my car, my job and my future more that Christ, then I DON’T love God wholeheartedly. I must give up all for Christ. (Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 1 John 2:15-17) I must Love Him with all that is within me, This is the Christian life! We are full of Christ and not of ourselfs. (And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Gal 5:24)  If you are not living under that power and love of God everyday by not giving up your self  to him 100% and not seeking His face in prayer and in the word, then there is a problem. I am learning to live in the presence of Almighty God everyday, I’m not perfect but perfect in Christ to live a Holy, righteous and Just life in Christ. That is the right way to live, its not hard to do this, if it is than you are living in the flesh which have no power to live a Holy, righteous and just life at all. But Because of Christ we die to self and made alive in Him. (If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. Romans 8:10) 

     

    Just about a few weeks ago, I wasn’t seeking God as I was in the past, My eyes was on this world and the things that are in it, like tv, video games, Hangout, and chating online with my friends,  being on myspace for hours again. ( man I hate that myspace… I can never be a light on that web page, it take up a lot of time doing nothing but look at other peoples pages for what???? , well its out of my life for good, Praise God for that.) But God came on night to wake me up from this sleep that I was falling in to, That is Satan’s Goal, to put all who follows God in a big sleeply sate, that kill them right there. I was going down that roal, but God came and disturb me greatly, God wanted to show me how far a drift Him and how I was cut off from Him, He wanted me to repent and turn back to him wholeheartedly not holding on the things of  this world, not even my life. My love for God has grow cold, and because of  it was cold, I was cut off from him. BUT as I said before, GOD CAME!! And wanted me to repent and turn to him, So I did! WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God change me again and wash me by the blood of His son Jesus and made me whole. I didn’t get saved again, but I was falling away from Him, but now now I’m back in to his arms again. God is doing something in my church. God changing peoples heart and minds, turning them back to the bible. God is moving at my Job also. God is always moving if someone is willing to take a stand for that truth and pray.

     

    This is the the TRUE LIFE THIS IS IN CHRIST JESUS MY LORD. My all the glory go to Him and Him alone!!!

    In the Love of Jesus I write to you: Jamel Kenneth McDuffy.

  • Believers At Training

    This Morning as so awsome, I got up at 8:30 in the morning to start training my German Shepherd puppy. I was looking at this thing online about police dogs (which are German Sheperds) and how trained they are. They're so focused and obedient. The top specialist police trained about 30 dogs and only 21 are chosen to be police dogs. The german shepherd learns the basics such as: Sit, come, down, go potty, ect. But after they learn the basics, they learn things like sniffing for drugs, to attack, etc. Today I was outside teaching my german shepherd how to stay and our other dog Lexi was there. German shepherds are highly intelligent and do only as their master says (as long as they are trained to do so). Generally, it is in a dogs nature to want to please their master. But if they aren't trained, that isn't possible. Our other dog Lexi is NOT trained and will do ANYTHING for food, even disobeying her masters. I had a piece of chicken in my hand and I told him to stay 5 steps away. Lexi disobeyed that command and came up to me scratching my leg for the piece of chicken. But, Krypto didn't do the same as Lexi because he was trained to listen to his master. Because he listened, he got the treat.

    Your probably wondering what my point is... Well, as believers- we also have a master that we need to obey which is Christ. Its a given that we are not like dogs, but compared to God, our intelligence is like a dog (lol). We also need to be trained to be warriors for Christ- to not be distracted by the things of this world, nor follow other people who are not trained as a warrior and soldier (of Christ Jesus). We must learn to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit- not because we are forced to, but because we love Him. Ever wonder why correction hurts? Well its because, like Lexi, we are used to doing whatever we please.. But when we are born again, we follow Christ as our commander. He tells us when to say, and when to go-when to talk and when to be quiet-etc. Without following Christ's commands, we are like untrained dogs: Wild and disobedient- seeking after our own desires with the wrong motives.

    So remember!!! We may not be dogs... But we must be trained in Christ so that we can truly be pleasing to our master.

    What Does it take? ( A real story)

    what does it take to change a man?. What does it take to follow Jesus wholehearted?, What does it take? There was a man who had it all, cars, big house, wonderful family, good paying job, lots of land, everything that mankind dream to have. But theres was just one thing he did have, it the Lord in his heart. He would say he goes to church every Sunday, But it only help him get more richer. But anyway, one day He was in a great mood, He look at himself and everything he had work up in his life and he said " And I will say to my soul, "Soul you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and merry"".(Luke 12:19) And as soon as He said that, The Lord came to him and said "You Fool! This  very night your soul is required of you".(Luke 12:20) The Bible says that it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27) The Man didn't know that hi life was just like grass that comes for a season but then dies. We are only here for a short time on earth. What does it take to get us to know that TIME IS REALLY RUNNING OUT!. It hit me when i thought about it. But anyway, Back to the story. On the day when the man body was put in to the ground, all the people that he knew was there, Family, friends,co-workers,His pastor that gave him the ok to go to heaven ( only because he unprove his church ) Everyone there was saying " He was a good man, He was the best Dad in the world, He was a awesome friend because he got a house when i was poor and on the streets" Everything about this man was great in the eyes of the people around him. But this man was not great in the eyes of God. God says "But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousness are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away".( Isaiah 64:6) "Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice...come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.".(John 5:28-29) " God also said "As it is written: There is none righteous, no not one". (Romans 3:10) His man stand before God. (And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God,[a] and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. Rev 20:12) Now i don't know how its going to happen but God show this man his life and how he lived on earth. The bibles says For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light. (Mark4:22) God reviewed his life from the day he was born, until the day for his death. God showed him everything he have ever done, from the words that can off off his mouth to the things he had done(good and bad). God also show this man, the times that He came to him but track, tv, born-again believers that work in his Job, Kid in his high school years that came up to him a shared the gospel with him. Everyperson, everything, God use to get him to come to him. But the man turn everything away.The bible says But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. Matthew 12:36 , 5:28 & 10:26. the Bible also says Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. (Gal 6:7) God told the angel to open the book of life, to see if the man's name is found in the book. The angel said " No Lord, that name does not appear" Then God will say " Depart from me you are cursed in everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels" The Bible says And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” (Matt 25:46) And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. (Rev 20:15 ) God send this man to the Lake of fire. This Story got to me, I was just thinking about it for so long. Hell is FOREVER, this life is tooooo short. God is calling us to give him everything. What does it take to change your life or mine? What does it take to follow Jesus wholehearted? It take us to give up everything we have and cast it at the feet of Christ. It will take the Holy spirit to change us into what God wants us to be. It takes Jesus!!!! The Bible says Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3) “ Come now, and let us reason together,”
     Says the LORD,  “ Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18) For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (Phili 1:21)
    This is what will happen if we turn our backs on Christ, He be like the man that want to the Lake of fire. We need to turn our eyes on Jesus, We need to give our life over to Jesus fully, the whole thing, Not taking anything back. This is a true christian. The Bible says For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. (2 peter 3:9)
    Let us run to God today and repent and turn from everything that is not of Him. You'll never know if your up next to die. God Loves You.

    Love in Christ Jamel Kenneth McDuffy .......God Bless

  • Christ or the World

    For the past 2 week God has been on my back about the worldliness thats in my heart. The reason why we christian never grow or have the victory over this sinful life is because of the worldliness that have found a place in our hearts. I alway wonder why i never can hear God clearly, or i wonder why when i read the word, sometime it alway sand coming out over it, or when i pray, i always want to go by my feelings and never faith. Well this is my problem, the World in my heart. God CAN'T NOT move in a powerfull way because we don't run after him but the world. I would alway watch T.V., play video game all the time, go to the movies, hangout with friend all the time. I would do this more than read or pray. These thing are not bad, but if they are first in your life and not God, the bible calls that sin. I would feel really dry most of the time. I ask God why do i feel this way so much, why can't i pray, why can't i find life out of your word when you said it's the word of life, God what is going on. God show me how Black and dark my heart is. It was so crazy, I could believe it. The Holy Spirit showed me places in my heart that Satan got to and filled it with so much darkness. I wasn't a onfire christian no more but a lukewarm christian. God and his love told me to repent and come back to Him and he will change me again into him self. God told me that i have to run away from the worldly things and run to him. So I let go of T.V., Worldly movies ( good and Bad ) friends that don't follow Jesus, even the christian that are really lukewarm. God is now working on the video game that i play. I should be praying for my family and friends that don't have Jesus in their heart and the christian that don't have the victory over lifes problems. I'm NOT perfect but the Christ in me is, and he gave me the power by the Holy spirit to live 4 him all the day of my life. I never want to go back the world and the things in the world, because the things that are not of God brings death. I got some verses for your to help you understand me. ( Don't copy the beavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is. Romans 12:2)

About Me

  • My name is Jamel and I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. It all started back 2 years and 8 months ago. Life back then was pleasant, yet rough. Things I thought that were cool, weren't after all. The lifestyle that me and my friends lived back then was something you wouldn't want to imagine. I never did nor sell drugs, neither did I drink alcoholic substances, nor did I join gangs. I did steal from many people and even robbed people's identities. For a sinner, the lifesyle would be very normal; it would be a thing the world would call a reality. Still, I was in darkness. I was very blind, like a blind man who couldn't see. I tried to live a "good" life, but everything failed. Immediatly as soon as I got into highschool during freshman year, I was already getting into trouble. I wore so many masks to keep people from seeing who I really was. I was tough inside, cold in heart, hardcore, ignorrant, stubborn, disrespectful, full of anger, rage, and profanity, and suicidal. I was simply, just so
