So, when satan tries to remind you of your past, REMIND HIM OF HIS FUTURE! However, when -not if- when you are reminded of something from your past, remember Hebrews 8:12 * and 1 John 1:9. Here is what God says concerning your sins in Hebrews 8:12, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” Did you read that!? GOD FORGETS THAT YOU HAVE EVER SINNED! No, you won’t forget satan will see to that. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” The second you asked him to, Jesus forgave every sin you have ever committed! Instantly they were gone- totally eliminated- as if they had never existed! When I was young, I heard people say that sins were put “in the sea of forgetfulness.” This is not true they simply don’t exist anymore! You see, if there was a place called “the sea of forgetfulness,” then you, satan or anyone else, could go there and retrieve them. That is, now that you have asked Jesus, who is God the Son, to forgive your sins, God the Holy Spirit has come to live in your heart (or spirit-man). God has what I call a flushing mechanism. What is now beginning to take place in you is a reprogramming. Like me, some of you waited until you were grown to become a born-again Christian therefore, you had already formed and begun to live in a non-Christian lifestyle. That’s done by a daily study of the Bible. Remember, the Christian life is somewhat like a computer-you cannot expect to get anything out unless you take the time to put something in.
The ONLY way to get there is God’s way, and that is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.įollowing are some of the things you’ll need to know in order to get your new lifestyle on the road and to keep it between the ditches (and believe me, satan has plenty of ditches for you). On the trip to Heaven, it’s a different story. This page is written to help you as you begin what can be the most exciting trip of your life! As a matter of fact, it is a lifetime trip! If you go from the east coast to the west coast, there are several routes you can take and still end up at the same destination. God promises that we can have peace, even during the trials and troubles that come to everyone ( Matthew 16:33 ). 1:18 ), who is called “our enemy” ( 1 Peter 5:8 ), robbed him of all his power and authority, and gave it all to you and me ( Luke 10:19 )! Yes, satan will come to you to tell you of all the “good times” you are missing by becoming a born-again Christian, but he fails to remind you of all the heartache, marital problems, etc. On the cross, He single-handedly conquered satan ( Rev. There was one that went before us, called Jesus of Nazareth. You have just signed on with the greatest company going! As a matter of fact, the owner-operator of this company also designed and owns the entire universe! There’s NEVER a thought of it going bankrupt, our company will NEVER sell out to the competition, nor is there a chance they will EVER merge! You see, the only competition to our company is satan and his demons. When I close my eyes, I can closely listen and pretend the rush of the wheels is an ongoing hymn.Congratulations, Driver! Now that you have repented of your sins to JESUS, ( 1 John 1:9 Romans 10:9-10,13 ), ( *All scripture is printed at the bottom of the page ) I want to welcome you into the family of God. I’ll shrug my shoulders and say, “It’s difficult to find the beauty in our enemies.”īut, on this lovely and cold day in Seattle, I roll down my window so I can hear the traffic on I-90.
#KEEP ON TRUCKIN JESUS DRIVERS#
So I think that these truck drivers are bringing a little bit of Jesus into Seattle. I don’t believe in God, not much at least, but I believe that metaphors, similies, and analogies are holy. But is it sacred or secular? I think it’s a combination of capitalism and eucharist. And this food was grown and shipped by farmers and farm corporations that are also heavily Republican. Yes, MAGA truck drivers are delivering food to Seattle, the second- or third-most liberal city in the United States. Plenty of them will be extremely conservative dudes who voted for Trump twice and will vote for him again if given the chance.
And among those thousands will be many freight trucks carrying food into Seattle.īased on general demographics, a large majority of those truck drivers will be Republicans. I’ll probably sit here for two hours so I’ll see hundreds of cars, perhaps thousands. As I sit in a grocery store parking lot overlooking Interstate 90, I watch dozens of cars travel into Seattle.
