Praise to the Most Mercyfull God , our Lord Jesus Christ
My brothers and sisters God keep you and increase your wisdom and understanding.
Im writeing this post here for the Praise of God and for the encourageing of His Saints. For if God can use me to speak , doubtless He can use you.
In prepareing for my ged test tommaro , yesterday i did a ged pretest. In it i had to write an essay. Praying over and over , i asked God to help me write it , even to guide my words. As i was timed , i read to see what i must write the essay about. They wanted me to write about a rule that i live by , and to explain why i live by it. My spirit leaped withen me , desireing to get these words out of me.
Right away i thought to write on the Fear of God. And as i began to write , it slowly came to me. The first paragraph , and i waited , trying to write the second paragraph i had to erase what i was going to say , because the spirit withen me wasnt willing to write it.
Frustrated , i waited for the Holy Ghost that He should bring to me the words , i began to doubt that He would. I felt lost as my time was ticking away. I asked God if He was going to help me write it or not. Slowing waiting , then suddenly another senctence came pouring out of me. Waiting again , then another. Finaly i was done with 3 min left on my clock.
here is the essay that the Lord led me to write.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In a world full of laws and rules varying from place to place , there is one that is chief among them. One that no man can make you do , niether can any man keep you from doing, and that is to Fear God. The reasons for following this rule are simple and wise.
For God made the Heavens and the Earth , and all thing in them ; and i am persuaded that there is nothing He cant do. Seeing how He made me without my permision, than He can also do with me what He wills , and i have no power to stop Him.
To Fear God has advanteges. For the Fear of God developes wisdom and character , and with this you will have favor with both man and God , who is your final Judge. Wisdom being more valuble than anything else, holds in its hands Long Life and success.
Knowing one day i shall stand before God my judge , i find it meet to fear Him. That in this present Life i should obey His voice and believe His Words , and be found worthy of Life on that day. For God shows Mercy to those who Fear Him.
So in conclusion , the rule i live by is to Fear God , so that in Fearing Him , He will show me Mercy and keep me forever.

after writeing this and giveing it to my teacher , i went home and satan began to make me embarrased. Giving me thoughts that i would get a zero on it for this reason or that . and also discourageing me as to make me think that God didnt help me write it , but that it was my own foolish words.
I went in today to see how they graded me on it. The teacher was amazed at how well it was written. She gave me the highest grade that she gives people , saying i rarely give out this grade. She said she loved it , and that i was a great writer.
I know then who the writer was , for i was at a lost for what to write , and the Holy Ghost came forth and gave me the words. In this i encourage all of you , to yeild your heart to the Holy Ghost. That He may also write and speak through you.
For there were sentences that i began to write , and though they being true and right , yet it was not the Holy Ghost leading me to say it. So my encouragement and counsel to you is this , that you wait for the Holy Ghost to speak , to guide your heart. But also to remember , as our brother Jack told me, how can the Holy Ghost speak through you if you dont open your mouth?
even so , its as the Holy Lord says
"I will lead you , only if you will follow"
