Free Fall.

I know a lot of people who like to be in complete CONTROL of their lives. and aren't so willing to let go of pride... to let go of the control... and give in to the holy spirit... i know that's what i was like before i gave my heart back to the Lord.

But you know what is soooo cool? when I just let go! it's like a free fall into the arms of someone who loves you so much! more than anyone of this world can love you!

In fact, i have to "free fall" over and over again... continually losing my pride and my own plans... my own control... and just leave it in God's hands.

I read this cool little quote from Rob Bell today that i thought i'd share with you...

"Jesus invites that part of us to die. the part of us that always has to be right. the part of us that always has to be better. the part of us that always has to look good"

- Luke 12:22-26 - Then Jesus said to his disciples: "therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens : They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than the birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?"


seriously peeps, let go. free fall.

Who ever said that you need to be a christian to step foot in a church??

The Hand To Pull You Out

Today, in my devotionals... I was led to an awesome piece of scripture... Luke 5:31-32

Jesus answered them "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Wow.

Truth is folks, I am a sinner. I am a hypocrite. I am imperfect.

I have been so torn up inside about my sin... how often I let God down... about how "bad" of a christian I truly am!

Jesus came to save me! Who am I to deserve such sacrifice? Who am I to deserve such mercy and love?!?!

I am glad that I am not perfect. I am so grateful for Jesus' love : The hand that pulls me out!

"It's All Worth Reaching For!"

From Personal Experience...

This week i was having issues in a relationship where i was so worried of upsetting the other person but knew that if i were to make that person happy, it would mean compromising my faith.

Quite stressful.

For a lot of my life, i have been pulled down, almost suffocated by worry... mostly worrying about what other people think of me, of other people not accepting me.

God spoke into my spirit after my little situation this week.... it was almost like he was saying, "Who do you want to impress more... your friend? or me?"

That just put everything into perspective.

Why worry about what others think? Why do we do the things we do? do we do it to impress those around us? or are we motivated by impressing our heavenly father? Are we motivated by HIS WILL?

I look at the whole situation very differently now. I refuse to let this overcome me. I REFUSE to stand on rocky grounds just to keep other humans happy... I want to be living to please my God in EVERYTHING I do, not compromising for the sake of those around me.

Hope that helps...

SIT DOWN AND SHUTUP!

Just a little post...

Don't let the enemy win the battle, it's high time that we told him to sit down, shutup and get lost!

SONG LYRICS...... "Enemy's Camp"

"I went to the enemy's camp and I took back what he stole from me.
I took back what he stole from me.
I took back what he stole from me.
I went to the enemy's camp and I took back what he stole from me.
He's under my feet! He's under my feet! He's under my feet! He's under my feet!
He's under my feet! He's under my feet! Satan is under my feet!"

When No-one Is Looking...

Hey guys...

Thought I'd share a little bit that I've learnt this week. For those who know me best, you would know that the past month has been utter chaos. My family especially, are under constant attack from the enemy.

Recently, i had one rather massive spiritual attack... in fact, it made me physically sick.. still am in fact. Bad huh?

Tuesday night, we had our young adults group - i love it because it pushes my thinking beyond the norm... makes me think outside the square - and a comment was made about who you are when noone is looking.

I have made some bad decisions in my lifetime, decisions that I am not proud of. This was the very aim of the attack recently. I had feelings of being such a hypocrite. Of not being good enough. Of self-loathing even!

But who you are when noone is looking.... now there's another thought altogether!

It was quite encouraging, because I know when no-one is looking... although i'm sinful, i am not perfect, my thoughts are constantly drawn back to my Lord and Saviour and personally... i think that reflects in my alone time...

Please hear me out when i say... I AM NOT PERFECT.
I still stuff up, even when noone is looking. I am constantly being taught new lessons.

But Be Encouraged!!

Push in deeper. Pray more. Praise More. Read more of the bible.

I will be doing it too! Don't forget about sharing your alone time with Jesus. He sees you, even when no-one else is looking!

spiritual warfare

Has been quite some time since I've been able to write on my blog. The last two weeks have been rather chaotic. I'll keep this short and sweet.

Our God is a big God. He is bigger than my hardships. He is way more bigger and way more better than satan.

My God has already won the war.

As christians, let's start living like we know that. We know the outcome of the story, we've read the book (the bible). Let's start treating the hard times as being the winning champions rather than the defeated.

Praise the Lord for he is good, his love endures forever.
