This was shared with me and so I decided to post it in my blog:

A Minister With Aids in Atlanta, Ga To those of you who are single or married, saved or not saved, this is for you. I am a 35-year-old African American or Black brother dying of Aids. I would like to share my testimony with you. I am an owner of a Mortgage Company in Atlanta , GA. I own a 1999 Jaguar and I also own a $350,000 beautiful home in Cobb County . I have a beautiful Lady who is deeply in love with me and a loving family. But most important, I have Jesus..... This is just a wake up call to all single brothers and sisters who are professing to be Christians, but don't want to be complete. Brothers, I had a beautiful young lady who loves the Lord and worship s the ground I walk on. B UT I still wasn't quite happy because sometimes I would see another sister with a Coca-Cola bottle shape and just wanted to hit it. Because I was using a condom, I thought that I wouldn't catch the killer 'AIDS' but guess what? I did. And the person I caught it from was a girl that I knew well. But the condom came off and now I am dying of AIDS. Yes, I wore a condom. But yes it did happen. God gives us time after time to straighten our lives up. I do know the Lord in the pardon of my sins. I've been saved now for 7 years. I found out 7 months ago that I had the virus, and now I have full-blown Aids. I really didn't think that I was doing anything wrong, because I would tell the women who I would deal with about the woman I love. I thought that was good enough. But it wasn't. I am a good man and also a God-fearing man; but my weakness was women.. I really wasn't out there like you may think I was, but every once and a while I would see something I wanted to try. My girlfriend is a praying woman. I know now that she was intimate with me because she loved me and she wanted to make me happy. Now I've given AIDS to the woman I love (who has been faithful to me) because of lust. Brothers and sisters, what I am telling you is that God is tired of us hurting each other and using each other for self-gratification. God has given me my home, my dream car and a beautiful woman and I took it all for granted. I've been tithing for 7 years. I am the chairman of my Deacon Board. But when I told my Pastor I had AIDS, he could not believe it because of the way I would carry myself. Brothers. If you have a sister who loves the Lord and who loves you for who you are and not for what you look like and not for what you have, cherish her. Sisters...If you have a brother who loves the Lord, love him and cherish him. My life has been altered. I've been with my lady since I was 20, and I've always used my young age as an excuse for not being loyal and not settling down with the woman I loved. I was being a hypocrite thinking that I was missing something, and not realizing that I had a good woman who loved and adored me. I wish I had been a real man and had appreciated the good woman God had sent me by not making excuses and dedicating my life to her. I would love to travel and marry this beautiful young Lady -- but now I can't. I've embarrassed my family, my church and my friends. But I was hardheaded and now I must suffer. God is cleaning up. Stop playing with God. God is revealing the secrets of us Christians. Brother's and sisters, we don't have to have so many 'friends,' You know what we call them. The ones we are planning to sleep with but haven't yet.' We often say that we don't want anyone to know our business, but God is about to reveal some thing's especially to us young people. We think so carnal. But we say that we have been transformed. We have been transformed from what we want to be transformed from.. Let's be real. God knows that the opposite sex attracts us. And he knows the desires we have for each other, but we don't have to have multiple partners. If I could do it all over again, I would marry the woman I love and live happy forever. But now I can't! But you can! Singles... I gotta tell you, it's not worth it. I love you all! Get rid of casual sex . This is really deep. After you've read this, think about yourself. Could this have been you? Some of you may not relate, but think about anything you are doing right now that is not of God... We are living in the last and final days, and pretending to be saved is not going to cut it. Professing that He is Lord, and yet worshiping the devil every chance you get will lead you to the same path as me. Get your mind out of the gutter and put it in the Word of God and you'll have great success. Don't and you'll have great woe. I love the LORD and thank Him for all that He does in my life; therefore, I'm passing this on. Yes, I do love Jesus who has forgiven me of the repeated sins. That forgiveness does not cancel out the consequences, at least not so far. But that's on me. Still, the Lord is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each day and is letting me share my story with you. I'm telling it like it is THIS REALLY is to help somebody. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things. Phil 4:13 If you love Jesus, send this to lots of people!!!!!! Be Positive - Be Progressive.Take the time to make a positive difference in someone's life.

Passing this one along: "Can't remember if I told that: I have moved out form 1 Beggars Alley, lacated at 2 Poverty Lane at the corner of Bleak and Buster Cirlce. As of today, I have a brand new home. My new address is : 3 Abundance Drive, located at the corner of Blessings Street and Prosperity Peak. No longer will I allow myself to travel on Begging Peter to pay off Paul Route, located at a dead-end intersection called "I Don't Have" wich connects with Borrows Junction. I no longer hang out at Failure's Place, near Excuses Avenue, next to Procrastination Point. I've moved on to an upscale community called Higher Heights, with unlimited potential and opportunities for to succeed. Look at me, each day that I'm awake, I am thankful to be a product of my new enviroment. All my clothes are tailor made. I'm dresses in life's finest. Let me introduce you to all of them: Divine favor, Conceive, Believe, Act on Faith, Be Persistant and Always be prepared to Achive. Life is good because God is good! Care to change you address? There are many vacancies! GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS I AM WELL BLESSED AND SO ARE YOU! ! ! ! ! DON'T TELL GOD HOW BIG YOUR STORM IS, TELL YOUR STORM HOW BIG YOUR GOD IS......"

***The following was posted by a member of the Guardians Prayer Warrior group, enjoy: I LOVE THE TASTE OF T-BONE STEAK, DELICIOUS EVERY BITE, BUT THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THE WORD OF GOD, FOR MY SPIRITUAL APPETITE. THE WORD OF GOD HAS MILK AND MEAT, AND EVEN ICE CREAM AND CAKE. TAKE A SLICE OF THE BREAD OF LIFE, AND COFFEE TO KEEP US AWAKE. OPEN YOUR BIBLE AND TURN TO PSALMS, FOR DAVID'S FAMOUS BUFFET. YOU CAN DRINK ALL THE WINE OF THE WORD STILL FEEL FINE THE NEXT DAY. THERE'S ENOUGH OF THE WORD FOR EVERYONE, AND NO ONE HAS TO CHEAT. THE WORD OF GOD IS A SMORGASBORD, SO TAKE ALL YOU ARE ABLE TO EAT. LET'S HAVE A LITTLE LONGSUFFERING, JOB GIVES THE RECIPE. PATIENCE IS THE MAIN INGREDIENT, SELF DENIAL IS THE FEE. WRAP THAT UP IN TEMPERANCE, IT MAY NOT MAKE MUCH SENSE, COVER THAT WITH CONTENTMENT, SOME JOY FOR STRENGTH. LET'S HAVE LOVE FOR DESSERT, JESUS MADE THIS DISH, CREAM OF JOY AND PEACE TOGETHER, SIFT OUT ALL SELFISHNESS. ADD SOME DEEDS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, ENOUGH TO MAKE IT SWEET. HUMILITY IS THE FROSTING. THAT MAKES THE DISH COMPLETE. OR ARE YOU ON A DIET, CAUSE THE RACE SEEMS HARD TO RUN. FOR A WEIGHT LOSING MENU, TRY HEBREWS 12 AND 1 ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM MALNUTRITION, AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO? YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH SEEMS HINDERED, TRY 1 PETER 2 AND 2. IF WHEN EVERY TIME YOU BATTLE, THE ENEMY ALWAYS WINS, TRY SOME HOLY GHOST PROTEIN, AND SPIRITUAL VITAMINS. GOD'S WORD CAN FEED MILLIONS, AND STILL HAVE PLENTY LEFT. BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD'S IS SOUL FOOD, SENT FROM THE WORLD'S GREATEST CHEF.

Ephesians 6 v.11-17 says.. "Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

**At the start of each day ask God to put His whole armor upon you. Walk in confidence knowing you are under His complete protection. Speak the Word throughout your day... meditate on Him and be encouraged!!

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His power." --Ephesians 6 v.10
