The Christian Journey Of My Walk With Christ

Decent Essays
Embarking on this Christian journey in my walk with Christ, I knew little about demons and spirit possession. But through life’s experiences I came to know that demonic spirits were real and there are different types that can possess you or come upon you to gain control. Most people think that lust, covetous, lying, fornication and adultery are a normal part of life but the fact is they are all spirits. Let me digress for a moment. Being brought up in a Christian home I always had a healthy fear of God at a young age. It was instilled in me never to say anything to offend people and cursing was absolutely out of the question in our household. It was never a part of my life especially the way my mother brought us up reading the bible it didn’t make sense to me then but it does now. For understanding of God’s word to filter in my life I had to put away childish thinking back then. As Paul said in II Corinthians 13:11; when I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child but when I became a man, I put away childish things. It was always in my heart wanting to be pleasing in God’s eyes because I feared going to hell. Somewhere along the lines through life’s door spirits crept in and I found myself doing things I would not normally do and ask myself why did I do that or why did I say that and fail to find and answer.
In Romans 7:15-21; Paul states, “For the things that I do I should not allow: for the thing that I would do I don’t do them but the

    The site that I visited was Mercy Hill Church in Greensboro, NC. I went to a sermon, with some friends, that took place on a Sunday night. When we arrived at the church, we stayed together and observed the site. The members of this church all seemed to be within their twenties and thirties; there were a few younger children and a few older women and men, but not many. Most of these people seemed to be from Christian ethnic backgrounds or just unaffiliated with any ethnicity.…

    “Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They saw liberty and thought they saw weakness. And now, they see defeat.” George W. Bush stated this about the cowardly September 11th attacks. During that fateful day I was glued to my poorly constructed high school chair, gazing in disbelief what was unfolding on Mr. Cox’s History class television.…

    My religious community has played a profound role on my development as an adult, the three guiding principals of Zoroastrianism: "Good Thoughts, Good Deeds, and Good Words" guide my actions daily. Being part of such a small community while heightening my sense of being has also made me more appreciative and understanding of other cultures & groups. For me understanding others has become a key component in understanding myself. My community has also enabled me to be a better communicator- as often times questions are asked regarding my ethnicity and religion where I can act as a spokesperson for the…

    “One of the secrets of life is making stepping stones out of stumbling blocks.” –Jack Penn As my thoughts raced and mocked every ounce of confidence that I could have possibly possessed, I impatiently prepared for what was about to come. It was finally my time to be in the limelight—my time to share my God-given talents. I came from a shy and insecure mindset, but being chosen for the soloist position in a new style of worship would change everything for me.…

    My personal narrative essay is about my transfer from Bible Baptist to Savannah Christian and my feelings towards the process of transferring and the first day at Savannah Christian. Overall the transfer was better than I presumed it would be because I sustained a better education than I did at Bible Baptist. The transfer taught me that sometimes change is for the greater good. If I had the ability to go back in time and tell my future self-something about this situation it would be not to be nervous just breathe. Finding out I was going to a new school could be compared to when I found out my first fish had died, heartbreaking.…

    As an ignorant young adult, I wasn’t very outgoing; I was always the shy student, the one who always got bullied and I wouldn’t really talk to anyone. When I turned fourteen, my parents informed me I was to attend confirmation classes. I wasn’t exactly enthused at the new that I would attend it for two years. To add to these, wonderful news; my older brother was going with me too. Goody.…

    I don’t talk about this anymore, because many people get freaked about it. In fact, I leave it out of my testimony, but maybe I should include it. A lot of evil things happened to my wife and I prior to becoming saved, however about 6 months after I gave my life to Christ I came under major attack by evil. I was working for some big name Christian leaders who sent me to train IT developers in San Diego. I was exhausted when I arrived so I went straight to my hotel room.…

    I was raised in a loving Christian family that has contributed to my personal values of acceptance, caring, and understanding.

As a child in south Florida, I watched my father extend his hand to many young Haitian refugees fleeing an oppressive government. Some of the Haitian boys joined the football team and became a part of a family that was missing as a result of their travels and situation.…

    On August 26, 2005, I gave my life to Christ, and it was the start of a whole new chapter of my journey. I still remember that night vividly in my head. The feelings of excitement, joy, and love were very tangible in my heart.

Even at 5 years old, I was aware of my decision to follow Jesus and accept him into my heart.…

    How My Faith Defines Who I Am Faith: having a strong belief in a religion, or an even stronger belief in a God. I personally believe in God the Father, and that he created each and every one of us in his own image. I believe that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sin and brought us new life through his death and resurrection. In my faith I stand as a Catholic, which means I believe in only one God. However, God is three persons, also known as the Holy Trinity, meaning there is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.…

    During my childhood and lower teens, I was very involved in church. I would go to every event or meeting put on by our church. Watching certain senior youth members, I didn’t understand why they would just come to the fun events. I would only see them during our mission trips or camps, but never at business or regular meetings. Then I promised myself that I would always stay as active as I could.…

    My spiritual journey of faith has turned me into more of a “mutt” than a “purebred” Christian because of the variety of denominations and international churches that I have experienced so far in my life. For starters, I grew up in a “every Sunday” church family. In fact, I was at church the very next Sunday after being born. My first church was part of the Assemblies of God. However, a few years later my parents divorced and we ended up at a non-denomination church, where I spent the next 20 years.…
