Hello Friends, (Alter Boy is going to speak some truth!)
Everyone has such good advice. Very few actually follow their own advice. This man “Alter Pain” does. I do a lot of things wrong. I can be a nut job! But, I do love my relationship with Jesus Christ. Let me share a little secret with you. The more you complicate your own life and your relationship with Christ, the harder it is to get to the next level of relationship with Him. Did you know that the deeper you go with Christ, the simpler it gets? When you get to that level of relationship with Him that He is yearning for, the light bulb goes on and all at once you realize… “What was I thinking?”. Then you realize that the world has it all wrong. Once you get to that point in your walk with Christ, you will never go back to the complexities of this world. I wonder what percentage of believers really truly get to that place in their walk? I dont really know, but if you look around, it clearly isn’t as many as one might think. Are you one who wonders what level you are at with your relationship and how to measure it? Here is how you can bench mark it and measure it…

1. Are you worrying too much?
2. Are you judging others?
3. Are you confusing happiness with Joy?
4. Do you have a habit of making a simple relationship complex? This could include your spouse, friend, family member or co-worker. This happens when your expectations of them are greater than what you are capable of yourself. Ouch!
5. Do you make life more complex than it really is?
6. Do you find yourself praying to God when you are alone and sounding like a structured holy roller from the period of 100 AD? Man just talk to Jesus!
7. Do you think that KJV is the only word that speaks to believers? God speaks in all languages including all love languages. He can even communicate with the believers who cant read. Yes he communicates through His word. But He does it in more ways than just His bible. Specifically speaking through your HEART!
8. Do you think that “Baptist”, Catholic or “Church of God” or the denomination you grew up with is the only channel to Him?

Dont complicate it! Elevate your relationship with Him and these concepts will come to light like everything He touches. You will get it!

There is no ceiling to what can be achieved relationally speaking with Christ. It is very individual, however, you can take your relationship with Christ as far as you would like. I have been judged by others as a Jesus freak. Haha! I love when people speak the truth.

Now lets go and get heaven crowded shall we?

Love,
Alter Pain
