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.

Soldier Chelsea

Last night, I became a soldier in the Salvation Army. I'm so stoked!

Let me tell you something, It wasn't easy. Not like I thought it would be. I agree with everything that being a soldier means, and normally have no issues getting up in front of a lot of people.

But a collection of personal attacks just made last night so much more fierce, and more important. I praise Jesus that he gave me strength to get through last night.

Part of the attacks I received yesterday were definately part of spiritual warfare, and definately were trying to stop me from making that stand for Jesus last night, including the fact that my mum and sister had to go to the hospital.

I am so blessed to have a Godly, earthly Father - whom stood strong with me last night.

I think it is safe to say i smacked the devil across the face, I plan to do a lot more of that in my journey with the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you don't know who this Jesus is and you want to, please get in touch with me. I am nmore than happy to talk to you about what I already know about Him. He is amazing, to be honest... if it weren't for JESUS I'd probably be dead already! No jokes!
