Changing My Generation One Soul At A Time….Who’s With Me

So I’m sitting at school listening to my mp3 player and this song by Underoath came on, now if you know Underoath you know that they are a metal band. but this song speaks to me let me elaberate.

Now that hit me pretty hard because of some of things I’ve been through, to trust and to not look at things differently than others. And sometimes it gets in my head that my realtionship with Christ isn’t what it should be and that will keep me away from God and His amazing gift of Love. And then reading this the question automatically came up if God was talking to me or as Underoath says whispering to me will I be able to hear or will I hear and just say I’m hearing things and go on with my life, now I would love to sit here and tell you that I would drop everything and run towards my Daddy but part of me thinks I  might look the other way and pretend like I didn’t hear anything. And then I heard this:

“Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another”

And I was just flipping out it was like they wrote this song for me today as I was sitting in class and I wanted to just get up a shout unto God praise like none other. Because this song is saying that He will teach me to be stronger and to forgive others both of which I have hard troubles with.

“Here’s my kiss to betray
Desperate to brush the lips of grace
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I lied?”

And this is just what almost every single person does at one point or another, betrays God it’s unavoidable, you can’t get around it at one time or another you are going to do something that betrays God. And yet everytime we come back “desperate to brush the lips of grace”. And I’ve always questioned from a human standpoint how God  could help but fell “hollow” when He knows that we are going to lie but that is of course from a human standpoint.

“Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me
Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me”

That is what caught my attention I heard this and me being the metal head I am almost automatically stopped because you hardly every hear this in a song, one because he was singing almost the whole song and just the content of what he was saying. Then the lead singer goes back over the teaching us to forgive and to be stronger.Then he says this:

“Hey unloving
I will love you
And will love you”

I heard this and almost cried I know that God loves me but when you hear that in the middle of a hard day at school it almost brings you to tears that no matter what there is someone who loves you with all of our mistakes. And the next part is my personal favorite.

“Jesus I’m ready to come home
I’m ready to come
Jesus I’m ready to come home
Unfaithful
Ungraceful
And unloving
I will love you”

Self explainitory right? As Christian we have no reason to be afraid of death because we will finally get to see His Face to fell His embrace the warmth of Him, just thinking about it makes me smile.

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another

Here’s my kiss to betray
Desperate to brush the lips of grace
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I lied?

Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me
Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey unloving
I will love you
And will love you

RANDOM VIDEO FROM YouTube

Soul winning is something that I have wanted to do since I’ve been a Christian, but Satan always gets in my way. Man, like I get so on fire for God then I do something wrong and Satan puts it into my head that I’m not good enough to go winning souls for God, and I fall into the trap every single time. Like for some reason I can never trust enough in God to know that it is all right that I mess up, it’s ok if i’m not perfect because no one is. Then even if I do get past that trap I refuse to drive because I refuse to pay 4 dollars for gas, I can’t get anywhere that far out of my addition and I don’t know how to go about just helping people in my neighborhood. I love God with everything I have I just don’t know what to do anymore and being that I am a teenager I’m always looking for answers but never getting the response on my watch. Which is probably something every Christian struggles with every once in awhile. I’ve just came to the conclusion that I want to start a small “series” between me random videos from YouTube where I talk about how I think the Church can save souls.

Until then or my next random video

Man I miss this place it changed me sooooo much,  I really want to go back

Too Lazy To Write A Blog Tonight

What do you think about secular music? I like to  hear different peoples opinions on that topic.

Right now I’m struggling with felling like Jesus is my “Best Friend”, I mean I will never get as close as He wants me to be, but I just I want to fell close to Him, to the point where I can talk to Him about anything at anytime. I really don’t have any clue besides doing what I am doing: praying, reading the Bible, and trying to walk out my faith. Something will come out of it right?

Yeah I’m grounded from the computer so yeah, these posts will be posted few and far between. I’m sitting at church and just got done playing football and I just thought of something because of how tired I am. I’m a sports person for those of you that don’t know, and the more I think about it I can relate Christianity to sports. Take for instance if you want to play a sport you have to be in condition to play the sport, and I believe that you have to be in condition to be able to minister God’s Word to the people around you, if you arn’t in condition in God’s Word you won’t be as effective as someone who is in top condition. And just for fun I want to plug on of my favorite radio stations Remedy.FM this is an online radio station based in Fort Wayne,Indiana and they play Christian music for teenagers I heart them.

Well I haven’t posted for the longest time and this really isn’t a post this is just my new obsession it’s called Flash Flash Revolution (FFR) and here is link to the website FFR

Ok to get off the topic of Jonathan for at least one post, I was listening to the radio today and since there is really no good christian station aimed at teenagers that is on the radio in the car I decided to listen to the Bear and I heard an older song called “My Own Prison” by Creed.  I’ve heard this song probably about a million times and I’ve never really listened to the song and really thought about what he was singing about, I mean from a Christian perspective we are all trapped in our “own prison” which would be sin. My own personal is pornography and some certain things that go with that, and for some other people it’s money, I mean everyone has that one thing that they could probably call thier own prison. Now personally this is how I fell to use the words of Creed:

“My skin begins to burn
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride”

When I start to look at thoses things and act on what I see my skin almost literally starts to burn everywhere from head to toe to the point where I can hardly stand myself for what I am doing and all I can do is look up and say “I’m sorry” and know that is good enough. And usually I can get a certain felling of being hidden from God even though I know that He can see me, but in the words of Creed I have to fuel my own selfishness.

“We’re all held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I’ve created my own prison”

And that is true we are all held captive to sin and the strangle-hold that it sometimes seems to have on our life. But we just got to do what Scott Stapp say “Cry out to God and Seek his decision” and pray for refudge from your own prision.
