What impressed me about the United States Marine Corps

I joined the United States Marine Corps back in January 02,1989 Active Duty. The overall Leadership training from a four star General to the private just out of basic training. While the other armed services the Navy is an exception were bickering over who has the authority to fly planes, move supplies, the Marine Corps practiced team work in every area from intelligence, administration, supply and logistics. While every other service was bothering calling us names little did they know that we are the chosen to guard heavens gates. We are trained never to retreat and not to leave a man behind. Not to give our lives for our country but to make the enemy give their lives for theirs. Every Marine not matter what his occupational specialty is a rifleman first. I watched infantry officers become Harrier pilots. This has never happened in the United States Army. As a matter a fact the first Navy Seal learned his infantry skills from the Marine Corps. Lee Harvey Oswalt was a United States Marine talk about accuracy. No offense to the President but that was one heck of a shot. The discipline to be able to rapidly train my body, mind and soul came from the United States Marine Corps. I worked twice as hard physically, and mentally during my time in the Marine Corps and today I am still healthy. Another thing about the Marine Corps is once a Marine always a Marine and their motto Semper Fidelis which is latin for Always Faithful. I can call a true Marine for help today, and that Marine will be there for and his brothers and sisters. God bless the United States and the United States Marine Corps. Always Faithful God, Country, and United States Marine Corps, and the woman I am with now who I will love forever.
Commeraderie most of all. In our hearts, mind and soul we are the best. --C A Levingston 19:43, 23 February 2009 (UTC) Today I am working on going to my AA meeting I have to report and I prayed this morning when I got up I have to remember to call my sponsor. I love GOD and I am constantly working on improvements. My primary goal is to stay focused and take care of what I need to today.

Espirit de Corps

Espirit de Corps The Marine Corps calls this reaching down deep and getting some. This is a combination of different positive feelings putting it together in pride in yourself and taking that pride and placing it in teamwork, the work that you do by yourself. The work that you do as a team, as a member of a group. Using traits such as Leadership, Integrity, discipline, good judgment. Esprit de Corps effects the mind, body and spirit. This is something that has to be earned. Through your works. Good work will get you positive results. --C A Levingston 16:01, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Basic Traits of a Leader

Judgment, Justice, Discipline, Integrity, Decisiveness, Tact, Initiative, Endurance, Bearing, Uniformity, Courage, Knowledge, Loyalty, Enthusiasm. I've always used these traits in everything I do. I will let God as I understand him be the judge in my life. It is my opinion that there is no human that can say they are god however god does speak through the pure of heart. Those who do not have self seeking or dishonest motives. I was trained as a Marine and hope and have faith that I never lose the discipline again. --C A Levingston 17:38, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

I have discovered that buy putting God, his word which is the bible and the holy spirit first in my life I can succeed in everything I do and that I also have balance in my life today and love for others.

Went to church this morning and I thought it was excellent. It talks about in the bible when we work together. Miracles can happen. If you love, hope, and faith in anything you do you may not get the results you expected at first but in the end the results will be wonderful. --C A Levingston 17:19, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Every morning I wake up and thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit and the ability to love another human being.--C A Levingston 12:32, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

The body of the Church

I Corinthians 12:27 Now here is what I am trying to say: All of you together are the one body of Christ and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it. Here is a list of some of the parts he has placed in his church, which is his body:

Apostles Prophets Those who preach God's word Teachers Those who do miracles Those who have the gift of healing Those who can help others Those who can get others to work together Those who speak in languages they never learned.

Teamwork is the basic building block that helps us find strength through Jesus Christ. Coming in our Sunday best together and worshiping Jesus through song prayer and listening to the message your pastor has for you gives us strength through christ. I make every effort to make it to church participate in small groups. This is what works for me.
--C A Levingston 23:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
When we all gather together as a church family to worship Jesus Christ. Through song, prayer, dancing, and learning God's word the Holy Spirit is among us. --C A Levingston 04:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Art and Living Life From the Bible the Book of Psalms

Psalms Chap. 45 Vers 2 - You are the fairest of all, your words are filled with grace; God himself is blessing you forever.

               Vers 3 - Arm yourself Mighty one, so glorious so majestic.
               Vers 4 - and in your majesty go onto victory, Defending truth, humility, and justice.

Psalms Chap. 46 Vers 1 - God is our refuge and Strength, a tested help in time of troubles. Vers 2 - And so we need not fear even if the world blows up, and the mountains crumble into the sea. Vers 4 thru 6 There is a river of joy flowing through the City of our God the sacred home of the God above all gods. God himself is living in that City; therefore it stands unmoved despite the turmoil everywhere. He will not delay his help. The nations rant and rave in anger but when God speaks, the earth melts in submission and kingdoms totter into ruin. Vers 11 The commander of the heavenly armies is here among us! He the god of Jacob, has come to rescue us.--C A Levingston 05:25, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Love

2 Corinthians Chap 16 May the Grace of our lord Jesus Christ be with you all. May God's love and the Holy Spirit's friendship be yours. Keep your eyes open for Spiritual Dangers; and whatever you do it with kindness and love. I did modify this to fit spiritual needs. --C A Levingston 05:36, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Holy Spirit

Matthew Chapter 3 Verse 11 I indeed baptize you water upon repentence but he that cometh after me is mighter than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost --C A Levingston 06:07, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
I first received the Holy Spirit at the age of 11 years old. It was my faith in Jesus that kept me from falling into the pit of hell. Without God's gift of the Holy Spirit, there were alot of trials in life I would not have survived. Thank you Jesus for letting me see another day.--C A Levingston 13:24, 26 March 2009 (UTC) The holy spirit is known as the spirit of truth because God does not lie to us. Being apart of a church filled with the Holy Spirit is a wonderful thing to be able to worship together and to look at your brother and sister and tell them you love them. Today I put God above everything else and I feel like a better man.--C A Levingston 05:56, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
If it was not for my father taking me to church when I was young I would have never learned God's word concerning the Holy Spirit. That if it had not been for the fact that I studyied the bible as a child along with the songs that we sing. I would have never known about God's love, the armor that it provides, and the spirit of truth.--C A Levingston 09:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Romans 8:26-27 The Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we do not even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. The holy spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the father who knows all hearts knows what the spirit is saying, for the spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will.--C A Levingston 03:33, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Matthew 5:9 God blesses those who work for peace for they will be called the children of God.
Joshua 1:9 I command you if it be thy will be strong and courageous! do not be afraid or discouraged. For the lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Isaiah 41:10 Don't be afraid for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. --C A Levingston 16:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
2 Peter 1:6 - 9 Knowing God leads to self-control. Self Control leads to patient endurance, and patient endurance leads to godliness. Godliness leads to love for others, and finally you will grow to have genuine love for all mankind. The more you grow like this, the more you grow like this, the more you will become more productive and useful in knowledge of our lord Jesus. Those who fail to develop these virtues are blind. They had already forgotten that God had cleansed them from their old life of sin.--C A Levingston 03:29, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Empowers for Service

Acts Chapter 1 Verse 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me upon Jerusalem, until ye be endowed with power from upon high--C A Levingston 06:07, 21 March 2009 (UTC) Today I felt the Holy Spirit stronger than ever. I had to travel to bring my son home and the whole time I finally felt fully at peace with myself and God. The Holy Spirit is a wonderful gift that God has given us through his son Jesus Christ.--C A Levingston 07:12, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Isaiah Chapter 61 The spirit of the lord God is upon me, because the Lord has annointed me to bring good news to the suffuring and afflicted.

Acts 2:16-18 What you see this morning was predicted centuries ago by the prophet Joel: "In the last days God said I will pour out my spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my spirit upon all my servants, men and women alike and they will prophesy.--C A Levingston 19:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

The Armor of God

Ephesians Chapter 6 Verse 10 thru 13 Last of all I want to remind you that your strength must come from the Lord's mighty power within you. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand safe against all strategies and tricks of Satan. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies if it be thy will the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world. So use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still be standing up. --C A Levingston 06:34, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
When I say my prayers in the morning this is my armor to carry me throughout the day when I say my prayers before I retire at night this is my armor while I sleep. The greatest armor of all is love for only love can withstand trials and tribulations. I learned this while I was incarcerated it was love that kept me alive because I only revived to find my true love and I do this through God's love this is what protects me. Thank god for the knowledge that he gave us to show us how to live. --C A Levingston 13:01, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Addiction

Galatians 5:22-23 When the holy spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law.
1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and in his good time he will honor you. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you.
Admit your need to God in prayer, release all your anxieties to him, and rely fully on the promise of God's help.--C A Levingston 04:00, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
