1 Tim 1:12-17

About Me


Who I Am in Christ
I am chosen and appointed by Christ to bear His fruit (John 15:16)
I am a slave of righteousness (Romans 6:18).
I am a temple--a dwelling place--of God. His Spirit and His life dwell in me (1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19).
I am a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
I am a saint (Ephesians 1:1; 1 Corinthians1:2; Philippians 1:1; Colossians 1:2).
I am God's workmanship--His handiwork--born anew in Christ to do His work (Ephesians 2:10).
I am a fellow citizen with the rest of my brothers and sisters in Christ (Ephesians 2:19).
I am chosen of God, holy and dearly loved (Colossians 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 1:4).
I am an alien and stranger to this world in which I temporarily live (1 Peter 2:11).
I am an enemy of the devil (1 Peter 5:8).
I have been bought with a price; I am not my own; I belong to God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
I have been established, anointed and sealed by God in Christ, and I have been given the Holy Spirit as a pledge guaranteeing my inheritance to come (2 Corinthians 1:21; Ephesians 1:13-14).
Since I have died, I no longer live for myself, but for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:14-15).
I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I am now living is Christ's (Galatians 2:20).
I have been blessed with every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3).
I have been redeemed and forgiven, and I am a recipient of His lavish grace (Ephesians 1:8).
I have been raised up and seated with Christ in heaven (Ephesians 2:6).
I have direct access to God through the Spirit (Ephesians 2:18).
I may approach God with boldness, freedom and confidence.
I have been rescued from the domain of satan's rule and transferred to the kingdom of Christ (Colossians 1:13).
I have been redeemed and forgiven of all my sins. The debt against me has been cancelled (Colossians 1:14).
I have been made complete in Christ (Colossians 2:10).
I have been given a spirit of power, love and self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7).
I have been saved and set apart according to God's doing (2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 3:5)
I have the right to come boldly before the throne of God to find mercy and grace in time of need (Hebrews 4:16)
I have been given exceedingly great and precious promises by God by which I am a partaker of God's divine nature. (2 Peter 1:4)
Twenty Cans of Success
1. Why should I say I can't when the Bible says I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength? (Philippians 4:13)
2. Why should I lack when I know that God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus? (Philippians 4:19)
3. Why should I fear when the Bible says God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind? (2 Timothy 1:7)
6. Why should I allow satan supremacy over my life when He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world? (1 John 4:4)
7. Why should I accept defeat when the Bible says that God always leads me in triumph? (2 Corinthians 2:14)
8. Why should I lack wisdom when Christ became wisdom to me from God and God gives wisdom to me generously when I ask Him for it? (1 Corinthians 1:30; James 1:5)
9. Why should I be depressed when I can recall to mind God's lovingkindness, compassion and faithfulness and have hope? (Lamentations 3:21-23)
10. Why should I worry and fret when I can cast all my anxiety on Christ who cares for me? (1 Peter 5:7)
12. Why should I feel condemned when the Bible says I am not condemned because I am in Christ? (Romans 8:1)
13. Why should I feel alone when Jesus said He is with me always and He will never leave me nor forsake me? (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5)
15. Why should I be discontented when I, like Paul, can learn to be content in all my circumstances? (Philippians 4:11)
16. Why should I feel worthless when Christ became sin on my behalf that I might become the righteousness of God in him? (2 Corinthians 5:21)
17. Why should I have a persecution complex knowing that nobody can be against me when God is for me? (Romans 8:31)
18. Why should I be confused when God is the author of peace and He gives me knowledge through His indwelling Spirit? (1 Corinthians 14:33; 2:12)
19. Why should I feel like a failure when I am a conqueror in all things through Christ? (Romans 8:37)
20. Why should I let the pressures of life bother me when I can take courage knowing that Jesus has overcome the world and its tribulations? (John 16:33)

My Interests



My first & foremost passion is my relationship with my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ & helping others come to know Him

elsewise...

hiking, camping, nature, the beach, going out on the boat/fishing with my dad

helping the poor, animal welfare, playing with my puppy
stargazing, meteorology, human anatomy & physiology, volcanoes, fireworks thunderstorms mountain biking, X-treme sports, paintball, Krav Maga/self defense

knife & sword collecting, muscle cars, forensics, amusement parks, watching Pittsburgh Steelers games

natural health & nutrition, working out, organic gardening, cooking, music, hanging out with my friends

photography, reading, drawing, painting... just to name a few

I'd like to meet:

Everyone is welcome to email me but MySpace is NOT my life. There's a fine line between being friendly & being annoying. I am generally a mellow, down to earth person who can get along with almost anyone. I enjoy a good laugh & try not to take myself too seriously - but i don't take crap from people either. If you have anything against Jesus Christ please don't waste my time. I'm far from perfect and make no apologies for who, how, or what i am. You either love me or hate me. I never give up on anyone - once i befriend someone, i stick with them for life, through the good & the bad. If you are looking for someone who honors the old school of friendship then hit me up

ALSO: PLEASE KEEP IT CLEAN folks. Potty-mouths, players, perverts, or nincompoops need not apply.

P.S.IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A "GOOD TIME", LOOK ELSEWHERE. THIS CANDY SHOP ISN'T OPEN FOR THAT TYPE OF BUSINESS. DISNEYLAND DOESN'T LET YOU RIDE FOR FREE & NEITHER DO I



Music:


Television:

When i remember: Dirty Jobs, The Rifleman, Deadliest Catch, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Survivior Man, Autopsy, InTouch, Merry Melodies cartoons, Pittsburgh Steeler games ...elsewise i'd rather experience life than watch it

Books:

KJV Bible, Swashbuckling Faith by Tim Wesemann, anything by Charles Stanley, Max Lucado, Joyce Meyer, Billy Graham, or Greg Laurie - other than that, i've read so many books i think my eyes are going to fall out (yes i'm a geek)

Heroes:

my Lord and Savior. Without Him i am nothing.

Pastor Charles Stanley of InTouch Ministries, Pastor Roderick Caesar of Bethel Tabernacle Church, Pastor Steve Brower, forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden and MY MOTHER AND FATHER - who taught me the meaning of hard work, persistence, courage under fire, honesty, fairness, and success just by their humble example. I am truly blessed to have you as my parents (thank You Lord). I love you both more than words can ever say ~ your little Roo/Woozle
