Pressing Forward

By Tyrell L. Samuels

I see a storm approaching
don't know when I'm coming out
This wasn't taught in Sunday School

All signs of life are gone and nonexistent
we enter realms never before visited

All our hopes had turned to dust
and all was left
our unfiltered lusts

Time zones had ceased and gone away
 kaleidoscope colors frenzied my way
and darkness so bright
Had shone the day

Oh that the light of Christ would guide me through
these truest storms that plague my view
Joy is not beyond the farthest fright
so I must steer by faith and blind my sight.


Cry Out To Jesus!

"The greatest obstacle that many face is admitting that their child molestation or their rape is not an excuse to sin. The desire to indulge in fleshly lusts (that can be attributed to past sexual victimization) rather than trusting in Jesus is the evidence that you are guilty too and in danger of hell fire just as everyone else is. We know the way out, but we rather indulge." -Tyrell Lee Samuels
       
If I had known how to kill sin. If only there were a Power strong enough to deliver me. If only there were a God loving and gracious enough to save me from my deleterious self. I know I need Him, I'm just too weak to call out to Him. We were all too weak, but He stepped in and saved us. If there were ever a time to believe in original sin, then the time is now. The truth is, there is a lie going around that floods your ears. It tells you to hate God because you're in the circumstance that you're in. You want to indulge, yet you know there is a way out. You wonder why He allowed it in the first place. The humbling truth is that you are a sinner just as every son of Adam and daughter of Eve is. Everything boils down to the fact that you are a sinner and you NEED Jesus too! That's all that matters, but you don't want to hear that. You want to go in your corner and sin without God bothering you. You might not think it's fair, but you still need Jesus. God could give you up to your own desires but you have the opportunity to be saved. God allows different things to happen to different people in a wicked and evil fallen world. Everyone is a victim of sin, and everyone needs a Savior. Because you're a sinner, and you rather place your desires above obeying God, you deserve HELL, and you will go, if you do not repent of your sin, believe in and make Jesus Christ your Lord. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and He came down to earth to save mankind from their sin. God loves you, and is compassionate towards your situation, that's why He died on the cross to pay the penalty for your sin, if only you would trust in Him. He loves you that's why He died to save you from hell. 


Admit that you to are a sinner and believe in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you. Be saved from this perverse generation. You must press forward and stop returning to the vomit that enslaved you in the first place. Christ came to set you free, and those who are free in Christ are free indeed. Press forward to the glorious hope that you may have in Jesus Christ! It's not so much that you were sinned against and now you sin...it's more that you were born a sinner, and this is how you respond to sin...with more sin. And sin leads to death, but there is life in Christ. Cry aloud to Jesus and ask Him to save you, I say, be saved from this perverse generation.
