You Can't Beat God's Giving

So I was getting ready to shower & go to sleep when I started singing praise songs and then I said to myself, "I have to post this... now." So here I am lol A week ago during my devotion I was doing the same thing, singing and I started singing a song that we sing in my church during the time people give their tithes. When I was singing it, I wasn't really connecting with it spiritually because I stopped and thought to myself, this song makes no sense. So I stopped, googled the lyrics I knew for sure and up pops, "You Can't Beat God's Giving." At that moment, just that one line spoke volumes to me and seemed so powerful because I know that my life, as well as many others' stands as a testament to those very words. The part that always baffles me about God is how freely He gives to us, blesses us and covers us, no matter how we're living, what we're doing or even if we haven't done anything at all. We, as people take a lot for granted but fail to realize that even the air we breathe is a precious gift of God that we often times might not be worthy of. I don't know what I've done to deserve all that God's done for me. The fact that God has covered me and kept me for almost 23 years without me having hit rock bottom I feel is a testimony within itself and a lot of people don't see it that way. Reverting back to the song, "You Can't Beat God's Giving" it spoke even greater to me when I pieced those lyrics with the rest of the song: "You can't beat God's giving no matter how you try." No matter how much you give God, He's always going to give you something greater which should be a comfort to everyone. Despite the fact that God knows we're going to fail in some form or fashion ("For all sin & fall short of the glory of God..." Romans 3:23) He showers us with blessings, no matter how big or small you might think it is. What greater love is there than that?

SOUL TIES

Late Night Revelation... After bible study with my Dad!!!!

As I sit and think and think and think and talk to God and think some more. It hits me that although we as Christians belittle our walk by saying I'm not a strong Christian or I'm at the bottom as a Christian or my favorite I'm not as strong as you or I'm at the beginning of my walk or I just started the walk with God or I'm not at the same level as you in my Christian faith or I know about God but I rather live my life or I just believe the essence of the bible whatever the statement, it doesn't matter what matters is that you are a Christian and living everyday for Him, and on judgment day you will have to answer to him not me.
As I sit and write I think some more, as a Christian I'm not here to spread God's word amongst Christian although it is very healthy to surround myself with people of my same faith, but as Matthew 9:12 "healthy people don't need a doctor- sick people do."
At the end all of this, as Christians we shouldn't keep the Word to ourselves, and only help other Christians. We must go out and spread the word to those that don't know about God.

I love the tribulations no matter how much they hurt ! I know the lord is working on me and the people around me . I pride myself in battles one when Ive been bless by so many measures . Only his strength allows me to go through things with a victory . HES MY SOURCE OF STRENGTH MY SOURCE OF LOVE MY SOURCE OF HOPE . In Christ alone ... Just to know him more , my one desire is for him to be one desire . I dont wanna have the passion to do evil things or even think evil things . Awesome Heavenly father this is my prayer this is where my heart is ! BY YOUR STRENGTH alone I over come . I can count successes like diamonds in my hand . They dont equal to the grace by which I stand ! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PREVALENT GRACE  In Christ Alone in Christ alone !

Morning Revelation

While talkina big sis…

The law failed to save anyone… and it kind of seemed odd to me before to think that being saved by the law was God’s Plan A. Cuz, it didn’t work… and don’t all his plans work? Then I said “Ooooooh”… that wasn’t the plan at all. God knew the knowledge of good and evil would do us no good. But Satan deceived Eve into thinking she was missing something, as if she “could be more like God than she was then” (this is what big sis actually said to spark the revelation). We’re saved by grace.

• For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8: 3-4

I'm not really a fan of blogging so I'll start with baby steps: Here is my Haiku (its a Japanese style of poetry- poems are 3 lines : 1st & 3rd have 5 syllables and the 2nd has 7 syllables).

I used to hate trials
Now I count it all pure joy
I can do all things

LYRICS
Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.

And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?



God is so amazing, he is always fighting for us no matter what. Not to mention that this song was perfect for the skit. GOD is so.. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH to me.

when your choosen your choosen

on may22nd 2007 I curtis Lambert were fighting with my brother. As we were tussling i picked up a rock a big rock and hit him with it. then he picked up the same rock and hit me back alot harder i started bleeding from my left arm . that lead me to getting a gun and using it. Yes i shot my brother. i end up turning myself in not knowing if my brother was dead or alive. the very next sunday i saw 1 of my boy's going to church and i followed. we had plans to just talk threw the whole service but god had other plans. at the end of the service he went up for prayer. Their was some pantlets on the table so i took them and stook them anywhere in my bible. we prayed with the ministers and headed back to our cells. later on that night i was pasting back and forth in my cell making plans to go to prison, saying and i quote im gonna do this and bang and get my name up and..... a bunch of foolishness.As i looked at my bible it opened to the book of psalms chapter 107 which reads: ¹Shout praises to the LORD!

He is good to us and his love never fails. ²Everyone the LORD has rescued from trouble should praise him,³everyone he has brought from the east and the west,the north and the south. ^a]">[a] ⁴Some of you were lost in the scorching desert,far from a town. ⁵You were hungry and thirsty and about to give up.⁶You were in serious trouble,but you prayed to the LORD,and he rescued you. ⁷Right away he brought you to a town. ⁸You should praise the LORD for his love and for the wonderful things he does for all of us.⁹To everyone who is thirsty he gives something to drink; to everyone who is hungry,he gives good things to eat. ¹⁰Some of you were prisoners suffering in deepest darkness and bound by chains, ¹¹because you had rebelled against God Most High and refused his advice.¹²You were worn out from working like slaves,and no one came to help. ¹³You were in serious trouble,but you prayed to the LORD and he rescued you.¹⁴He brought you out of the deepest darkness and broke your chains. ¹⁵You should praise the LORD for his love and for the wonderful thing she does for all of us. ¹⁶He breaks down bronze gates and shatters iron locks.¹⁷Some of you had foolishly committed a lot of sins and were in terrible pain. ¹⁸The very thought of food was disgusting to you,and you were almost dead.¹⁹You were in serious trouble, but you prayed to the LORD,and he rescued you.²⁰By the power of his own word he healed you and saved you from destruction.²¹You should praise the LORD for his love and for the wonderful things he does for all of us.²²You should celebrate by offering sacrifices and singing joyful songs to tell what he has done. ²³Some of you made a living by sailing the mighty sea, ²⁴and you saw the miracles the LORD performed there. ²⁵At his command a storm arose,and waves covered the sea. ²⁶You were tossed to the sky and to the ocean depths,until things looked so bad that you lost your courage²⁷You staggered like drunkards and gave up all hope. ²⁸You were in serious trouble but you prayed to the LORD,and he rescued you.²⁹He made the storm stop and the sea be quiet.³⁰You were happy because of this,and he brought you to the port where you wanted to go.³¹You should praise the LORD for his love and for the wonderful thing she does for all of us.³²Honor the LORD when you and your leaders meet to worship. ³³If you start doing wrong,the LORD will turn rivers into deserts,³⁴flowing streams into scorched land, and fruitful field into beds of salt.³⁵But the LORD can also turn deserts into lakes and scorched land into flowing streams.³⁶If you are hungry,you can settle there and build a town ³⁷You can plant fields and vineyards that produce a good harvest. ³⁸The LORD will bless you with many children and with herds of cattle.³⁹Sometimes you may be crushed by troubles and sorrows,until only a few of you are left to survive.⁴⁰But the LORD will take revenge on those who conquer you,and he will make them wander across desert sands. ⁴¹When you are suffering and in need,he will come to your rescue,and your families will grow as fast as a herd of sheep. ⁴²You will see this because you obey the LORD,but everyone who is wicked will be silenced. ⁴³Be wise! Remember this and think about the kindness of the LORD.(cet version). After reading that i started crying so much till i was saying god thank you for saving me i said that for probably more than an hour. i prayed hard and kept praying that god get me out of this situation that i had no idea how deep i was in. about 40 days after may22nd my visitation was on sunday and my mom was to come visit me. i only told her to come visit me because i researched my case in the law library and it say's "if a judge doesn't sign a supeona you are not responsible to go to court. It all boils down
my mother sat down stairs on the visiting floor for one hour and somebody started fighting. Long story short i never got my visit....... GOD MADE IT RAIN SO HARD IT KNOCKED THE PHONES IN THE JAIL OUT OF SERVICE FOR 3 DAY'S THE EXACT SAME DAY AFTER MY MOTHER HAD TO GO TESTIFY. they threatened my mom and told her they will take her nursing license if he doesn't show. But of course god's plan means god's plan. the phones came back on that wednesday morning i called my mom, and the first thing she said is curtis i had to they threatened me i was yelling so hard and said what did you do. she just kept saying i had to,i had too. i hung the phone up in so much anger and asked god why aren't you answering my prayers.(yeah little old me yelling at god)on august 1st 2007 i went to court they said mr. lambert your bail is 10,000 cash or 250,000 bond. the district attorney asked for me to get no bail cause im a flight risk. but the judge must of had jesus cause he said "NO i will lower his bond to 100,000 bond and keep 10,000 cash bail.Then the district attorney said he is facing 15-25 years in jail. I started laughing so loud and hard (they didn't know who i serve). so they went on and on till it went to a recess. coming back from recess only 2 hours before that i was facing 15-25 years in state prison then they offer me 5 years !st offer. Off back i told my lawyer NO. i went back to jail at about 5 o'clock. I stated playing dominoes at about 8 pm. i was just talking about what happen to me at court and one of the guys i was playing dominoes with said u just gotta keep prayin. as soon as he finished that sentence less than 10 seconds no 5 second later the phone rang and the officer said lambert pack up bail out. i didnot hear him and everybody was happy before i was. i packed up prayed with my christian brothers and threw every piece of material in the garbage and headed for the door.

Less than 2 weeks later after i got out on bail i was at a stop light on south columbus and 4th street in mt. vernon ny. and i said to god "if you get me two years i will take it. On august 11th i went for an interview at infinti car dealership and by the 15th i was working. I meet with my lawyer on september 11 th,2007 and i heard the 911 tape of my neighbors saying "hello hello somebody has been shot the shooter is running up the block and he is bleeding from his left arm.I just started crying and the lawyer said did you do this i walked out her office and never went back.

Now my court date was October 24 th 2007. on that day i got another court date which was re scheduled to December 4 th. Remember i fired my lawyer so i am almost on my way to court with no lawyer. Now here goes god..... I tell my boss an Italin man from the Bronx i have no lawyer. He says lawyer for what....... Ahhmm i shot my brother before i started working here. thank god he never judged me for that. long story short he goes to the bank and get 250 dollars. The shop manager goes to the bank and gets 250 dollars. they hand it to me and say put that down on your lawyer so he can appear in court tomorrow. i went to court with no lawyer but god. it just so happened that the lawyer i was going to hire was their. so i just told the judge i have no lawyer but the lawyer i discussed my case with is hear. With a shock on his face the judge asks the lawyer is that true, And the lawyer said yes we have discussed his case. he represented me for free that day. i gave him the money later on.

My lawyer called me later on in December and said they are willing to give you 3 and a half years state prison time. I said um mm NO. Less than a week later he calls me and says" 2 years is your final offer kid". in my head I am like where do i sign. But i still said no. I just didn't want to tell him I'll take it. My next court date was January 17th 2008.The judge said Mr. Lambert will you take the 2 years or go to trial,and i signed 1 year for criminal possession of a weapon in the second and 1 year for assault 2. Nobody in the world gets 2 years for shooting somebody unless god is on your side. i was sentenced to go to jail april17t 2008 i got a week extension so i went April 24th,2008.I served a total of 16 months in prison. Prison in my mind until i was delivered, and Prison in flesh till i was delivered. While incarcerated i definitely became that fiery christian i am. i had bible study every morning. After about 9 months in i got moved to another cell block then another till i ended up working on the minor block serving trays and cleaning up.( THE WORST BLOCK IN THE JAIL). The minors threw feces on people,spoiled milk,stealing each others food, fights every day,i mean mayhem. So i said to god why the minor block? Well i didn't hesitate i just said to god you got some work for me to do. I went their and god used me something serious. Bible study twice a day.1 fight in the hallway in 90 days and we were like a little family. It all boiled down that about 15 young men got saved gave their life to Jesus Christ. I got released June 5th,2009. Now call me Pastor "Christian Curt" Lambert. shouts out to wake Eden who gave me my first sermon to preach and shouts out to Bronx Bethany church of the Nazarene a spirit filled community where we provide access to the church of god.

As a christian just stay encouraged and remember prayer changing things.GOD LOVES YOU. Treat him like you know

MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS NAME EVERYTHING WORKS GOOD FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.

Wow..... confidence isnt something that you earn..... its something that your born with. Everyone is made different. I used to think dat whenever i was by miself and i tried to talk to a girl i was maad confident but then around mi friends it was somethin totally different. but den when i recently started to grow even more in mi christian walk i started to realize dat when you focus on only God den everything else will come no matter what.... God will shine through me and everyone will b drawn to me because they see God in me. The way i look at it is, people will treat you by the person they see when they look at you

ADDICTED

I'm addicted.
I'm addicted to you like a crack head is addicted to crack
As drugs dealers are addicted to their stacks.
I'm addicted and I'm in need of a fix,
I will say it loud and proud I'm addicted.
This problem I'm not ashamed to admit,
I'm not feeling guilty of it.
An addiction is a dilemma.
I don't want this dilemma to leave,
This problem allows me to breathe.
I want to have an itch for your word,
I don't know if you heard,
But I want to snort you up my nose.
I want to shoot you directly into my veins.
I don't want to be tied down to bed or be restrained;
All I want to do is defend and remain.
Addicted
I don't need an intervention;
I don't want anyone to intervene,
I like to be a fiend.
I like to feel like I'm walking on sunshine while inhaling for you,
Or on cloud 9 when I'm snorting you.
All I need is u like Hillsong united hoping one day to be united with you.
I don't need to be a church head to get a fix;
I need to be a God head with a twitch.
You know a twitch like I have turrets,
But I won't be screaming and cursing,
I'll be singing and praising
Worshiping and dancing like they do in church.
You know like they do in church.
This isn't a small time infatuation,
This is a big time consecration.
This addition makes me tick,
Tick...tock...tick...tock...like a clock.
Addicted
I want you to get into my head and into my vein.
I want you to get in through my nose and into my brain.
I want you to see what I see,
I want you to feel what I feel.
So each and everyday when I wake I must take
A shot of your word,
A syringe filled of your praise
A pill filled with your spirit
And a nose full of grace.
Cause I'm...Addicted.
