the other p Posted by poolboyjames on September 20, 2010 at 7:39 AM comments (0)i was thinking about my entry i posted 3 days ago about the 4 p's u get when u make Jesus the lord over your life
ok to add to it, i'd say those were the p positives however u are also pretty much guaranteed another p which is not positive... persecution persecution can come in a lot of diff ways like we are fortunate today in that our persecution is a lot of times just people not accepting us for our lifestyle.. or people calling us corny or lame or weak or people not wanting arelationship with us because we do not indulge in lustful/immoral/selfish/superficial behavior i have definitely experienced this if i was to give a fellow Christian a word of advice dealing with persecution i'd say seek out refuge from Christian sources.. the Bible, prayer, Christian books, pray for Christian friends etc.. keep your Christian perspective fresh in your mind i have been trying to stay right with God and He's been really coming through for me in this regard.. i said a few prayers about having Christian people around me and now i live with 3, and work with 2.. ask for something according to His will and He will come through for you in that regard just last semester i was living with some cool people but they were always talking about sex and drinking and actually having sex and drinking lol.. i'd sometimes put my headphones on because every other word i'd hear was the F-word or whatever.. i'd find condoms in the trash and things of this nature.. they'd invite people over i'd be like hey what's up and they'd tell me their latest dirty joke and expect me to laugh.. bi-sexual people would be coming over looking perverted in their face by itself almost like prince or some ish i am not judging them or anything its just that that kind of stuff is not what i want to be around as a Christian.. they don't understand me and i understand them because i was born in the flesh but i am constantly trying to live above my worldly desires like i said, we are fortunate in that a lot of our persecution is mere self-denial and/or loss of "friends" i count this as God's mercy and i thank Him for it.. none of my friends or family have had to endure a beating or a prison sentence for making Christ the lord of their life soooo in the vain of telling the WHOLE truth.. the 4 p's are positive but there is also a negative p the p of persecution... but the good news is the Bible is written from the beginning to the end and we win in the end so when u deny ur flesh or the person u want to keep in ur life leaves u because u want to live right, just count it joy cuz God's watching you and He's going to make it right as He is the just judge of all things (and also remember that while u have one negative p, you have 4 positive ones!) weeping may endure for a night but we goin ham in the morning! let's go!!!
