The Old Paths of Jamel's Life

I miss the old times. The people i use to hangout with back in high school. All the people who gave their lives over to the Lord. I miss the old youth group back at Times Square Church, When i was in the world I never had any good friend (well because they are not saved..duh), But when i gave my heart over to Jesus, God show me some friends that had a passion for Him. My teacher, (the one who was bold to speak about Christ in schools) LaRon, ( the one who never was fearful ant anything, He would talk to gangs about Christ and God would bless him) and Patrick ( Also hold christian clubs in my high school and talk to teens with problem about Christ). When i got saved I just join LaRon and talk to the gangs thats was in my school... it was awesome. I never back down, I never talk their head of, but God use me as i abide IN HIM! And to tell you the truth, this is how i got "Jsupfamily" My screen name & email address. Jsup means all about Jesus or Christ all ways first... and family means we "Christ body" are all in this together as 1. So there you go.
But anyway, I miss those time where my teacher would bring the gospel to the kids in my high school and they get saved, She had a van that she drives with to church the can fit 7 people, some how we was able to fit about 12 people in there. haha

Every friday and sunday, all 12 of us would drive to church and hang out, and she would drive all of us back home... awesome.
but the bad new to all of that is, most of them turn their backs on God and went back into the world. Me watching that was very sad, at some point i wanted to join them. By because of God i didn't and i'm Glad that i stayed.

God was moving at that time and is STILL moving, I miss those days and i want those days to come back. Now I here in PA and things are great, but it would be awesome if we was ready to be use by God. Don't you want to be used?
Well BE YE READY!

So yeah, I miss the old days. But don't worry... we will bring back the old paths.

I don't think it's a matter of being "ready". I think it's a matter of being "willing". All you need to be ready is to be filled with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost needs no "readying", He's locked and loaded!

If we look at ourselves as needing to be "ready", it suggests that "WE" need to do something. That is flesh and we will never be able to look at ourselves as ready. All we need is to say "here I am, send me!" It will be the Holy Ghost that does the work. As my most wise Pastor says, it's easier to steer a wild horse than one that refuses to move! Just throw yourself out there, step out of the boat and trust the Lord to keep you afloat! You don't need training to give your testimony, all you need is a testimony and from what I just read, you have one!

I look at it this way. I am just a tool in the Master Carpenter's toolbox. The only preparation that I get is whatever the carpenter does to me before using me. I just lay in there until He picks me up and uses me. But it's his design, His strenth, His guidance, His direction that enables me to do whatever it is He is wanting me go accomplish.

So if you are saved and filled with the Holy Ghost--son-- you are ready! The Lord has prepared you to be picked up and used! Let Him use you!
