I don’t know the fist thing about writing let alone writing a blog or even expressing myself. But i thank God paul wrote, “And my speech and my preachings was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirt and of power”. 1 Cor 2:4 (KJV) What I write, I write from my heart. I have wasted my entire life on playing video games, day in and day out I would play. It’s all i could think about, maybe because it was the only thing I was great at and it took no effort at all. I have been afraid my entire life about trying something new and stepping out of my comfort zone, but for fear of rejection because I wouldn’t be any good at it. It’s the very reason why i didn’t try out for any sports in high school. For the last 8 years of my life, i have been uninspired to do anything but go to work and play video games. I lived a life filled with sin, but desiring so much more but didn’t know how I was going to come out of this hole of sin i dug myself in. although i lived a sinful life style, God was still always on my mind. i couldn’t live a normal life not thinking about him but its whats kept me from straying to far. I have tried many time to pray and give up my life style of sin where i was unhappy and unsatisfied. But after a few short days of trying, i’d fall right in, right back to my old habits. And the guilt of falling back in weighed me down, where I felt unworthy to get back up. I lived that life for about 8 long years. One day this year i woke up tired of not being able to brake the habit and feeling guilty of living the life style that I did. I decided to stand up to satan and my flesh and resist. The bible says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you, Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded” James 4:7-8 (KJV) That very same morning i decided to walk my dog around the block, and thats where i encounter a man name Dave where he and a group of people where street preaching. He offered to pray for me right then and there. I normally would have said no and kept on walking, but i took that step of faith and said, yes. God has really touch my life since, i refuse to go back, i refuse to fall into sin! Being brought up in church I have always desired for more of god, some thing much more then just going to church and preaching to the same people. Well, One night i was reading my Word (Bible), and God pointed this verse out to me. But when anything is exposed by light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and christ will shine on you. I didn’t realize how much it really spoke to me till, I ready Tiffany berkowitz blog, “Fireworks and Lazarus”. As i read it, tears began to flow down my face. At that moment in time God began to speak to me through her Blog. He began to remind me how he to has raised me from the dead. See, I was one of those miracle babies, which is why my mother named my Lazaro (Lazarus in english). It was time for me to answer Gods calling on my life, and let the light of Jesus Christ shine through me. That message isn’t Just for me but for all of God’s people. Jesus said, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and the of the son, and of the holy Ghost. Matt 28:19 (KJV) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of christ who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Cor 4:3-4 (KJV)
