Isaiah 43
18 “ Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
My question for you is, "Have you ever met anyone that claimed to be a christian, but was so bogged down in their past, that they can not move forward in the things that God ordained for their lives?"
So many times christians have it in their head that they are unworthy of participating in the things God has instore for them because of the things they have previously particiated in. I know because I used to be that same way. I felt this desire, this passion, this BURDEN for the lost. When God, began working in my life and opening doors, I stepped back and questioned it.
"You can't use me," I would say.
See, I felt like no one would listen to me because, I felt unworthy to tell others that God had forgiven me after all I had did. Who am I to be in that position. No I wasn't a murderer or a theif, but I felt bad for what I had done. I had played church for a very long time. I knew how to worship, how to pray, and how to play church like the best of them. I was really good. I had a lot of people fooled.
What everyone didn't know was I was dying inside. I KNEW God was real, I knew church was real, but I was not. I hated what I was becoming. I didn't want anyone know I was faking, so I said what everyone wanted to hear. I was really depressed. I began to self injure, and labled myself as a cutter. It didn't start out as wanting to die, but when I reached that point, over a 2 year span, I talked to a youth pastor. He told me what I already knew... and we began the process. A year later while I wasn't doing it near as often, I still was cuttin. I felt like a failure. I would got a week or so with out and then cut again. I hated it.
One night my youth pastor preached and something got my attention. That night he did an illustrated sermon. We watched a clip of Passion of The Christ, and he told us to picture OUR sins on the cross... He did the alter call and I went as we all set around praying, he brought me a letter (everone got one) but he knew my struggles. It was VERY personal.
Kayla,
You have experienced so much for your age. I want you to know that the past is irreleavent to your future. You have a choice, things do not have to be the same, but you have to take the step. You have to leave your past behind. Etc...
He Does NOT Base HIS Love for YOU on How Many Days You Go WithOut Messing Up Terribly!
Then he put the scriptures that changed my life...

What is a Truth Revelator?
Hey if you are reading this then I would like to welcome you to the Truth 4 Uth site. We are just a couple of college kids that wanted to put together a site to encourage, teach, and ultimatly CHALLENGE you to take a stand for the biblical principles that we have let get tossed out as irrelevant. We appreciate you taking the time to read, and hope that you find this a positive influence to your life.
2Corinthians 4:2
Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
Romans 1:
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Romans 2:
8But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
2Timothy 4:
3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
All of the above are only a very FEW of the many scriptures that deal with TRUTH. What I really want is not only a movement, but I want a culture shift. I want to see what would happen if people would take a real stand on Truth.
??? What is Truth???
The question seems easy enough, but YOU take a minuet and ponder this. It is a little deeper than what it looks. You can go into philosphy and theories trying to prove "truth". "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ," (Col. 2:8).
"I am the way, the truth, and the life..." (John 14:6). Of course, most philosophers and skeptics will dismiss His claim, but for the Christian, He is the mainstay of hope, security, and guidance. Jesus, who walked on water, claimed to be divine, rose from the dead, and said that He was the truth and the originator of truth.
So, Jesus is Truth, that means that the word of God is truth. If the Bible is truth, then that means its teachings would be truth, thus, would be relevent and not the opposite.
--Problem?
Today, many view the word as old, out of date, and irrelevent.
This site is a meeting place, it is a movement starter for all those that will gladly take a stand to be different and say, "I stand for TRUTH!"
