Hello everyone!!! I am SO excited to share with you guys all the things the Lord has been sharing with me these last few weeks! I am sure most of you have wondered, “Where’s Cornelius? He hasnt posted in awhile” The Lord has been working in me something truly great; phenomenal The Lord has taught me A LOT over these past few weeks, and has placed on my heart to share with you guys EVERYTHING the Lord has shared with me And, the Lord has also placed it on my heart to make it a Video Series! Each day this week, I will be posting a new part of the series, starting with today, the Introduction; so stay tuned!!! Today: The Introduction! Today, I want to “introduce” what the Lord has done! To paint a picture, remember the two trees in the garden of Eden? The tree of life; and the tree of knowledge of good and evil Well, the Lord helped me realize that I too had two trees in my life; the old, and the new He helped me to realize that I had planted and watered an old seed; and from watering that seed, came roots; and from me continuing to water, came a base; and from me continuing to water, came a tree stem; and from me continuing to water, the tree stem grew higher and higher; and from me continuing to water, branches branched out; and from me continuing to water, fruits came; rotten fruits; fruits that I ate; and because I ate rotten fruits, I was never sustained nor fulfilled, and like a fool, I decided to continue to water that old seed only to produce and eat more rotten fruits Fear was the seed. And from me watering that old seed came my old tree -- my tree of fear And from my old tree came old fruits; rotten fruits; fruits that I ate -- fruits of fear But, the Lord is faithful! I called on the Lord, and the Lord heard my call! He brought me from my old and into His new! He gave me a new seed -- A seed of Faith! He’s given me new water! He helped me, and continues to help me, to water this new seed! And from watering this new seed, a new tree has formed -- a tree of faith!

Hey everyone! We have another who has decided to join us along our long walk with the Lord! Lets welcome @Harris Cheeda

"O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever." Psalm 107:1 ___ Part 1: It's not coincidence. Its God It is not by coincidence that this was the psalm the Lord and I went over today The Lord has indeed been good and done some wonderful works! Yesterday, I was afflicted all day, but the Lord helped me to continuously go to Him Now, all that is credit to the Lord. The Lord helped me to go to Him, not me At the end of my affliction, the Lord did something really wonderful The Lord helped me realize that it wasn't temptation I was struggling with, but rather the fear of success Last week, the Lord had brought me from my “old”, into His “new”. The Lord brought me from my old garden, filled with fear, to His new garden, filled with faith. The Lord helped me to realize that all my life I was filled with fear. The Lord helped me to leave that old life, that old way, and He led me into His new place, where I could fully live by faith. The Lord helped me to leave the old, and go to the new, just like He said He would! The Lord helped me to fully live by faith Since then, the Lord has been teaching me so much, and helping me to do so much with Him The Lord has been great. The Lord has been wonderful! ___ Part 2: The Lord not only teaches, but also gives us an opportunity to apply it Yesterday, the Lord helped me to realize that a few days ago, there was a very slight whisper in my ear; whispers of fear that I wouldn't be able to remember all the Lord has taught me With everything the Lord has been teaching me recently, I was worried that I may forget a lesson, or may not be able to carry all the new responsibility. The Lord has indeed brought me to a new place, His place, His garden, where the Lord’s love and light shines bright. But the Lord helped me realize that I had a slight fear that I wouldn't be able to handle all that the Lord calls me to do. I wouldn't be able to handle or hold on to all the Lord gives. And that fear was slowly growing

Whether you want to share the full story, or just say "Yes He has", share that the Lord has done a wonderful work for you! The Lord is good! Lets tell each other what the Lord has done!

Sometimes, we aren't being tempted, but are really just afraid, and in our fear, we can either decide to go back to the old, or keep going with the Lord in the new That's what I experienced today I wasn't really being tempted. I had fear More specifically, the fear of success Fear that with all this new responsibility, I wouldn't be able to handle it I wouldn't be able to handle or hold on to all the Lord has given But you see, the Lord taught me that I never need to worry about all that I am carrying because the Lord is carrying me So it's not really “me” that's carrying it. It's the Lord It's not “me” I am relying on. Its God And God can handle it all The Lord can, and will carry it all, plus me along with it The Lord IS my strength The Lord IS my redeemer The Lord is good The Lord is my carrier, and my strong hold The Lord IS my helper The Lord helped me all throughout today The Lord helped me to realize all this. And I thank the Lord so much The Lord has blessed me a great deal, and I thank the Lord that I can carry on with all the Lord’s blessings because the Lord is, and always will, carry me The Lord will carry us Thank You Lord "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee" Thank You Lord for giving me an opportunity to put my trust in You Thank You Lord for You
