If You Could Time Travel….,

At His Feet, Best Time Travel Ever.

I was recently asked a question.

If you could time travel in time, say 20-30 years ago, what would you say to your younger self that would help you?

Wow, that's a big question.

I had to stop and ask the Lord about this.

So I pondered over this for many days.

You see, I didn't grow up normal like many others grew up. I had a very ruff-up bringing with drugs and alcohol being a daily scene, a broken violent home life, raised in the crazy world scene. Watching junkie heroine addicts as my role models and driving them to the Methodine Clinic when I was only 14 years old.

Later in my life, when I was 22 years old I started having dreams of hell. It was sooo scary, I couldn't sleep, I was afraid to go to sleep, because it was that real!! I saw the hell fire flames, felt the heat, and felt the fear! I stayed awake all night, then in the morning I drove to the local churches. I walked in saying,

"Hey! I'm a drug addict and a dancer and I need God."

They told me to go to the church down the street.

Well, after the 4th church I got sent to, I was exhausted and I sat in the car. I said, "This is it. This is the last place I'm going to." I truly thought I was doomed for hell because no one would help me.

I was at my wits ends.  So I walk into this older church and I'm  like, "look, I'm a drug addict and I do this bad job to make money but I need God cause I'm having dreams of hell."

And this precious older couple just looked at me and said, "Jesus loves you."

I fell on my knees and I cried and cried as the love of God consumed this worldly girl. I just crumbled on the floor as the Love of God poured and wash over my broken soul. I didn't understand what was happening. It was all supernatural and brand new to me. Jesus was washing me with His beautiful pure love, just pouring it over me as the tears fell to the ground. I wept and wept. They helped me up and told me to come back later that night for Wednesday night church. They had a food pantry and gave me some food to help me out.

So, I started to go to that church and got my life straightened out, started cleaning houses but the people wouldn't be-friend me or invite me to anything. I don't know if it's because I was so much younger, or because I was poor, and/or if they knew I came from a bad past. They were a much older congregation. I'm just thankful they let me come to church. And I learned to keep to myself, and I kept going to church.

I wanted so badly for someone to teach me because there was so much I didn't know and I didn't understand. All of it was brand new to me. I knew nothing at all about Jesus or church. And I would of loved someone just be my friend.

The reason I share such a personal story, is because I don't want to see this happen to the people the Lord is bringing into His kingdom now, young or old.

So, if I could go back in time, let's say 30 years, I would be-friend her and mentor her. She's not too dirty for me. Jesus washed her clean with His Holy Blood!

We all need to be ready and prepared for this new group of people Jesus is now setting free. And love them because they are no longer their past.

They are a New Creation in Christ Jesus.

Start mentoring classes that helps teach them the Foundations of Christ Jesus. Help them learn the ABC's of the Word of God, teach them as much as you can because, all of this is brand new to them. They don't know what you know.

Teach them so they have a strong foundation in Christ. So they don't mess up like we did, learn from our mistakes. You know....

Let my ceiling be their floor so they can skyrocket with the Lord!

So yeah, that's what I tell my younger self. And that's what I'm doing now!

I'm not going to let 1 soul (not on my watch!) who comes into the Kingdom not be loved, accepted and taught so they can Rock It with Jesus!! They are more than conquers in Christ Jesus! Encourage them, build them up and most importantly, point them to Jesus!!!

We must pour all we got into this new generation ( young or older). Everything the Lord has poured into us, so they can be shooting stars in the Kingdom.

So now, my question to you is;

If you could go back in time, what would you tell your younger self?

Selah!
