The projects here have been downsized + they added hip culture to the downtown scene, along with landscaping that looks nice. Downtown Toledo is constantly being upgraded, built back up, restored. There are still wars in this city, anger + violence we see and experience on a daily basis. Anger may not be the best word, rage in the people, no rage in some. Last week a local thief was thrown out of a forth story window and fell to his death. Shortly before that we lived with him here at the Cherry Street Christian Homeless Mission downtown Toledo. A few weeks ago one of our brothers was struck by a car that came up after him to hit him on the sidewalk. We have no idea what this was all about. Toledo drivers are very complacent, disinterested in driving, only in texting + driving way too fast + running over a white person may not be the worst thing in the world either. Many blacks here despise you if you're white, some grow up without one white person around ever. Each week we look forward to outside charity meals + clothes giveaways hosted by local christians. Saturday @ 11am, then Sunday @11am in a different location. We go through the same routine everyday, making our beds after checking in at 6pm to the Men's Building. Letting the guys search our backpacks for drugs and running the wands over us for weapons. We get to watch TV in the community room + we can play pool and foosball until 9pm. Same routine everyday, same rules with the staff. We have to endure many hurt men who have been banned from their families, kicked out of their homes. King 👑 Jesus shows up anytime we pray, and He is with the leaders here. If we pray with them, amazing results can and do happen. And it alleviates the stress and having to listen to homeless people talking to themselves every single day. You absolutely have to learn to explain things to the needy, and rebuke them when necessary, or you can become a target. It is best to use scripture because it feels like wild hyenas when it gets going... The reality of Scripture works best to survive, then thrive in any third world environment when dealing with mankind. There is a Heaven's elder man here who prays in a tongue that sounds like old Italian + latin combined. When doing so the whole area fills with Heaven's light + pure love & joy. Another gentlemen showed up from Michigan lately who prayed for me + called down Heaven's authority including an arch angel to attack the enemy's works, it gave us a path to see a sign change from Heaven 3 days ago.

I read this book recently and it is excellent. It is written by a Christian. If you know someone struggling with any addiction this book could help you help them or they could read it too but I think you should read it first. This book is mainly about Alcohol and drug addiction but the principles can apply to any addiction. It is called: ADDICTIONS A Banquet in the Grave by (Finding Hope in the Power of the Gospel) Edward T. Welch. They sell it on Amazon too.

Hello All! Its been a while. I have an issue with my uncle. He started dating a Christian woman who smokes marijuana and now has my uncle doing it. She says that the Lord hasn’t told her not to ?. Anyway the Lord told me that he’s in the same flood because uncle was already compromising in his heart. And so is easy for him to fall into what she does. I think almost every time we see them they are high. It’s disgusting.. I’m really sick of it. Especially with text message attached. I was putting up with their fellowship but I don’t even wanna reply to all the verses they send! Such hypocrisy and he’s my only family in the east. I have a husband now so it’s a little more bearable to ignore him or them. What is ur council? Please pray for me! Thank you! Picture disclaimer: We, as in my husband and I, my uncle and his girlfriend have been on a group chat and I assume she accidentally texted the group instead of him privately. And that’s what she had mentioned and since then it just took me over the edge that I haven’t replied to any of their sending verses.

Jenna Presley - From Porn to God (Brittni Ruiz Saved from Hellfire) Jenna Presley (born April 1, 1987) was the stage name of Brittni Ruiz, a former American porn actress. Brittni began stripping in Tijuana, Mexico while still underage. At age 17 she began receiving treatment for anorexia nervosa, which lasted nearly two years. In 2005 she graduated with honors from Hilltop High School and briefly attended Santa Barbara City College. She studied broadcasting and journalism and worked as a telemarketer. Brittni entered the adult film industry in September 2005 when she was 18 years old. Around one month into her porn career she caught gonorrhea. While active in the business, she was credited with performing in over 275 films. During her time in the adult film industry, Brittni used crystal meth and cocaine (to try to lose weight), ecstasy, and oxycontin to numb her pain, depression, and anxiety and to make it through the scenes. After three years in the industry her grandparents took her to The Rock Church in San Diego, where "she raised her hand to receive Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior" after hearing a sermon from The Rev. Miles McPherson. Further inspired by Rachel Collins, a Christian pastor at XXX Church, left the adult film industry in November 2012. Since then, Brittni began working in business sales and studying psychology in college. In a 2013 interview Brittni discussed a book in the making about her past struggles with drugs in the industry and about her new faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In August 2013, she appeared on The View with Craig Gross, pastor of the Triple X Church, to discuss her salvation into the Kingdom of Heaven. Romans 5:20: Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Matthew 5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Hebrews 13:4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Proverbs 6:32: But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. Leviticus 18:22 “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. 4 Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor— 5 not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways. 6 Never harm or cheat a fellow believer in this matter by violating his wife, for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before. 7 God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives. 8 Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
