Hi!!! I am now on my 18th read of the NIV Study Bible, studying many different directions about salvation and many very critical directions given in the Bible by Jesus and his followers, which were chosen by Him to write all the books of the entire Bible. After Biblically receiving the Holy Spirit on July 5, 2022, my entire being has drastically changed to 100% of what Jesus Himself desires from us in the life He has blessed us with to live in servitude to Him!!!!!!! Jesus is absolutely everything to me and my goal is to ALWAYS make Him smile at everything I do in thought, word, and deed, paying very close attention to His verbal and written instructions given to and for us in His written word!!!!!!! Now that I have received His promised gift of the Holy Spirit, it is my goal to be an instrument or tool for Him to better glorify, honor, and serve Him in every way possible. Now, please believe me when I say, I know some of my Facebook friends are religious leaders for many different denominations and I urge all of you to take a deeper dive into the written word, so you are 100% following Jesus' instructions!!!!! Please concentrate a bit more on the final instructions Jesus gave and then look specifically at exactly what the apostles and disciples did after these instructions were given. Jesus is very specific and the people that lived with Him for around 3 years, I am sure clearly understood His instructions, especially after they received the Holy Spirit!!!!! For 57 1/2 years, I thought I was saved because of what other people had told me, instead of digging into scripture more thoroughly myself. I urge you all to do the same for your own salvation!!!!!!! I believe a lot of us have been unintentionally in the dark and not Biblically saved for a long, long, long time. My goal now is to help all who love Jesus to be in paradise with Jesus for eternal life!!!!!!! Please research the Bible for yourself, pray for wisdom to understand, and remember what audiences were being addressed in the different books of the Bible. If when being addressed, they had already received the gift of the Holy Spirit, the message will be a whole lot different for those addressed who have not received the gift of the Holy Spirit. If you are my family, friends, neighbors, or relatives, you already know I dearly love you and simply want to spend eternity in paradise with you serving Jesus!!!!!!! There is a song that says, "It only takes a spark to get a fire going!!!!!!!" I am now striving every single day to be that spark in every situation that presents itself. As many of you know, Jesus has abundantly blessed me, showed me His favor, and His grace is something which I am eternally grateful for!!!!!!! My Daughter (Heather), Izach (Grandson), and Saraya (Granddaughter) are very precious to me and are doing well. My business Abel Gold & Silver Exchange is doing absolutely fantastic. I pray for all of my family & friends every single day!!!!!!! God Bless You All and please know Dougie loves you. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏
