The System Stinks, but I Will Rejoice in the Name of the Lord: And I Will Not Rest Until I Get to Heaven

By Christopher Jones

Hello, I am delighted that you stopped by to be embraced by some of the goodness and the glory that I have to bring to you about a righteous walk and talk with our Father. I want to share my life with you so that you may also live to be the righteous person unto the Lord. My passion for our Father is overwhelming. My cup runneth over is a quotation from the Hebrew Bible that means I have more than enough for my needs.

And I will not rest until I get to Heaven

The system stinks, but I will rejoice in the Name of the Lord. You know, whether you believe or not our Father God, with a Big G, and His Precious Son Jesus Christ is real and has a master plan. He said most men in the world don’t have a plan at all, but I’m here to say that if you follow the guidelines of our Heavenly Father and read the first book of life, which is the Holy Bible, it will teach you what to do, how to do it, and how to say it. It’s not all about being right or wrong, the Bible teaches you how to be a righteous person. You say to yourself, what is a righteous person? As person follows our Heavenly Father’s rules, they will learn the righteous things to do. Our Father said in Mark 12:30 – 31 to love thy neighbor as ourselves’. On that note, when our Father awakens you in the morning – let’s back that up a little, when He puts us to sleep at night, you should praise His name, and when He awakens you in the morning, you should praise His Name again. It is all about Him and His Son Jesus Christ. I always say, What would Jesus do? He would be as righteous as His Precious Father would be. People say and think different things when they don’t know. Like you need to know that Jesus is God means that because He is an image of His Father, He is going to do exactly like His Father because He is a righteous man. Don’t you know when man and women get married, they are two different people until they ask in the Name of Jesus Christ to join you together as one. He will put in your mind, body and soul what you ask of
