Untitled Sermon

I went through a period of time that I was not walking with the Lord. I hated going to church and at the same time I hated that I felt that way. Feeling so twisted inside I got involved with numerous things that, honestly, shocked me. One such thing was, I had decided to get tattoos. During these sessions a friendship of sorts formed between the artist and I. We had went through similar issues and had similar interest such as music. He would invite me to the bars and concerts. Never once did I feel comfortable, no matter how hard I tried to shake it off I could not shake the feeling… You Do Not Belong Here. The time came that he invited me to attend a tattoo convention he would be working at, everytime he invited me to anything it made me feel great and included. That is what I was looking for and since I had isolated myself from the church, I needed someone to make me feel like I belong.. Just like your old nature. No one or nothing can take you out of the hand of God, only you, you yourself have to climb out.

One of the days I was wondering around and happened upon an event I will never forget. These long cables were secured to the steel support beams in the ceiling of the convention center. At the end of these long cables were large medical grade hooks. I did not see this part but these hooks are hooked through the flesh in strategic areas of the body. I watched as a willing participant was hooked through his knees and was slowly raised off the ground. Another man began to push him as he began to swing through the air.

I am telling you this story because our old sinful nature has no problem laying there and allowing the devil to get his hooks into us. And right now im telling you from experience that sin WILL take you farther than you ever thought you would go. There is no guarantee that you find yourself back in the house of God once you walk away. I have so many friends that I went to school with that have walked away from God and have yet to make there way back. I pray often for them and I love each one. It is only by the mercy of God that he reached in my heart and let me know with out a doubt he was there. He began to deal with the pain I had brought upon myself. For anyone who is around me for long I will probably end up talking about a sermon I listened to on youtube or great podcast that fired me up, this could be what started all that. Late one night I decided to get some food and find a parking spot to eat. I didnt know it at the time, but there was a active war for my soul. I opened up youtube and started looking for something to watch.. I scrolled up and a sermon popped up. Thinking about it now, usually only things that are related interested are shown to you and I dont remember watching any messages prior to that time. Bro. Lee Stonekings message Angels and Angelic Manifestations.. I decided to play it. He begins to talk about stories of his experiences with angels and the presents of God came down in the car and it was like Jesus laid his hand on me letting me know that he was right there. I begin to weep and talk in tongues. It doesnt matter were you are in your life, how far you have strayed, God can meet you right where you are. God can heal your broken heart and give you a new one, a heart that can be formed to his purpose. Nothing in this world can satisfy you like Jesus can. People try so hard to fill that space in your heart that only God can fill. Material things, careers, relationships, drugs, you name it! You want free from the sin that is dominating your life, give Jesus 100%,
