Journal Entry 1 – About the Author
September 6th (Wednesday) 2017.
Hello friends, itfs about time Ifve gotten back into this! While Ifm aware that the word gfriendh or even gfriendsh in this matter sounds way to cheesy or corny, Ifve decided nevertheless to start this off with it. That way, both you and I can start this series off on a positive note. You may be wondering why I called this a series though (not a Series of Unfortunate Events lol). The reason is because, even though I did a type of journal entry-esque series like this before, this will not follow exactly that same type of format. As such is life, things much progress. Ifve always found this type of progression more fascinating among authors rather than among their written books. When comparing their earlier works to their later works, it becomes evident that there will be at least some type of progression (vocabulary, linguistic structure, other synonyms, etc). For me, Ifve progressed into actually being saved. Looking back to that time, the person who saved me also used the word choice of gfriendh and while at first I saw it as patronizing (as if I was disabled), seeing more of their progression through works has made me realize that they are sincere about that. Itfs why I plan (hopefully Ifve done so already at this point) to organize my posts on this website based on their date, just so you can compare my life from that turning point. (Kinda like the turning point from the Old Testament to the New Testament). It was solely that one moment, belief alone in Jesus Christ, that got me saved. Hopefully, as an author myself, I will be able to guide you among not only my own written books, but through the written books of the Bible as well to lead you to the turning point in your life as well, friend.
It was about that same time of year again, though going into has already made me used to that feeling. However, God (author of the Bible) had written into me a new type of feeling, the Holy Spirit; all throughout this summer. In July, I tried starting a Youtube channel about the popular franchise of in an attempt to cash in on some money. Mind you, I wasnft doing it because I wanted to use the money for myself, but rather because I wanted to donate that money to a good Christian soul-winning (evangelical) cause. The payout however wasnft worth itfs time, as at around my 130th video, I had not even made it to 10 000 total views (the amount needed to actually start monetizing them). From there on out, I decided that if I couldnft help support soul-winning groups that I might as well go soul winning myself. By go though, I donft mean the typical ggo outside and knock eem outh type thing, but rather ggo online and compel them in the commentsh type thing. And thatfs exactly what I went out to do. At first, I was so sad (Ifd rather avoid using the word depressed, based on how overused and self pity-ing it has become nowadays), but as I read more and more the wonderful site of www.Jesus-is-Savior.com (FUTURE EDIT: I donft agree with a lot of stuff from that site, but what they mention about how faith alone in Christ saves, that is true, and Once Saved Always Saved). I began to not only have more assurance in my own salvation (faith, not works) but more assurance in gaining rewards in Heaven. In fact, that website has become such a turning point for me that I began to fall in love with persecution. While some Christians online would get so upset at people hating on them, I would leap for the joy (Luke 6:23) at the insults they spat out at me. (Ifve been bullied at Grade school a lot
However, one type of assurance that I never thought Ifd get would be the assurance from God Himself. And no, Ifm not talking about the Holy Spirit being there as a witness of my good fruit. (James 2:14-26), but rather God literally showing me physical proof that what I was doing was the right thing to do. (Donft worry, this isnft one of those 23 minutes in Hell or hearing a random voice type testimony either). On my REDACTED-related channel, as you may remember, even around 130 videos I still only had 100 or 200 so views. Well, as soon as I started to take soul-winning seriously, even while it was still online, one of my latest videos (a low effort one mind you, compared to the other videos on that channel) quickly skyrocketed to 5 000 views in a single day. Wow! Truly, God is great! As much as I want to revel in this (I may go deeper into it at a later date), I know that you came here for. At this point you may be asking gWhat about the author?h where Ifd respond with gCheck the title lolh. Kidding kidding! Letfs talk about today, shall we?
This REDACTED was an REDACTED type, since for whatever reason they only made REDACTED mandatory for REDACTED and REDACTED. I decided to sign up. As much as I can see the mathematical implications of lining up the trajectory of REDACTED , I canft really use that as to get REDACTED
REDACTED: You sir, have class.
[I got my REDACTED to rate that joke. She said it was so cool and that I was so cool.]
c
Canft get into the workflow to quickly, mind you! [In fact, Ifm actually typing this on the 9th just because the workflow did increase dramatically after this day. But thatfs a story for another day].
REDACTED French. As that work flow would be to slow for my liking, Now, shefs really immersed in French. I shouldnft be surprised though, as she did come from France (France was Catholic while England was Protestant). I found it that most of what she talked about was the wonderful food in France. That was my thought of her when I first arrived there. Itfs why I included that verse above this paragraph. Even while she still offered her own home-made French-style deserts, She could have just been trying to be kind.
Whether she was trying to be kind (own good works to be saved / because saved) I cannot really judge her in this context. Thinking about it though, Goes to show that I still need to study this in the Bible, as this whole judging topic can be the root of confusion. (FUTURE EDIT: Jesus did not come to judge the world, but to save the world, so letfs not judge others, but instead focus on saving everyone).
Needless to say, I will only pray to her for one thing, to be saved by believing in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. To give her something sacred, she first must become sacred. (Sanctified by the Holy Spirit coming into the believer).
In truth, without a spiritual nature (The Holy
Spirit that comes into ever believer), she will always return back to her
carnal, sinful nature.
Nothing much to say here, spare me some typing time
Had a nutritious lunch of carrots, chicken and meat. The vegetables were a nice addition, since my family is going organic :)
Nothing to spare, but a spare (Though, theses were good times to read my King James Bible online). [FUTURE EDIT: The Hebrew and Greek Manuscripts are the true word of God, the KJV has English translation errors, like other versions, so itfs important we look at the original source)
Luckily, it wasnft so intense. In fact, the reason why I sped through these last sections is just that! I donft have any time to spare! (Since I can only really type these at home, since thatfs when the day is finished. Helps me to reflect on the whole day, not only to help apply the Bible into my life, but to remember.
Anyways, gotta not be too vengeful.
