A revelation

I posted something on my facebook:

John 3:6
"Humans can reproduce human life but the holy spirit gives birth to spiritual life"

Does that speak out to you?

This is what I get:
Flesh understands flesh.. and spirit understands spirit. If you want to understand the spiritual side of life, you need the holy spirit. You need the spirit of God to continuous and flowing with no limits in you.
If you're in the world and you're only operating in flesh.. you will understand with no problems, because we're all human.. but we're not just flesh, we're also spirit too.

There's a quote that I will love forever because there is too much truth in it:
'We are spiritual beings having a human experience'

But because we are too much on the human aspect of things, we will not recognise the things of the spirit.
Also that scripture just tells me there's more to life than just living life aimlessly- waking up, going to work, eating, sleeping... there's a lot more, but it's your choice to accept the holy spirit, allow it to dwell in your life, and let it work in you.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss, but it's better to have knowledge of particular things. It can save you.

Thought spam of many..

I'm definitely going to have a lot of these..

But, I was just thinking.

Isn't it annoying as children of God, as believers in Christ to still be stuck in the same problems?

Seriously.

You're praying to God to do a new thing in your life, but the prayer is yet to be answered. It's not that God didn't hear you.. it's something to do you with YOU the person. Is there something that you have said to someone, and that person is holding onto it negatively? Are you grudging against someone else? Have you not repented over something you did a while ago and you didn't think God will know about it?

It's always good to check ourselves. I'm starting to do that regularly myself. Even the things we say, if we're not careful, it will cause God to delay our answers.. because God searches our heart before he releases. If he can see that there is still a little bitterness, or a little hatred or something that doesn't qualify for him to bless us.. he will give it to someone who is ready.

Really, we don't even qualify to call on God, but because of his grace, because of the sacrifice his son Jesus made...

Hm.

My brain has been on overdrive lately... I will blog more..

Good night

We are in the last days...

Scripture says in 2 Timothy 3:

'1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

6They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth—men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.'

It's as clear as that.

The fact that these riots are taking place now, it's just a confirmation of God's word. God's word, is life and truth.

I'm not scared at all, but I am shocked at the EXTENT of this madness. There is actually no motive to why this is taking place.. it's all down to opportunistic tendencies. And that's the way of the devil.. the devil always finds ways to get an opportunity and run with it.

God will protect and keep his children, I know that-- but wow. This madness needs to cease.

Deep thought..

I have officially deemed myself the serial thinker.
My mind likes to drift to places..

Just now.. my mind has been drifting.

You know how you watch movies or you see television shows and they say that 'You don't really know a person' yet they've known that particular person for years?

Just been thinking, no one really knows WHO you really are. Yeah, they have an idea of your personality and your favourite things, favourite colours and all of that.. but they don't know YOU. They don't know you from within.

That's where God comes in.

But hold on, where I'm getting at is... your innermost thoughts.. and who you truly are.. no one really sees, because we hide behind masks and fake emotions to cover up who we really are.

But why do we do that?
Is it because if we lower that barrier, we will feel vulnerable? We will feel so much on show of our true selves?

It has nothing to do about being fake, it's more of a protection thing so that we don't get hurt?

Because I know my own family doesn't know me entirely.. the only person who truly knows is God because he's the one who created me.

My mind is drifting... and my heart is speaking. I'll take notes.

God bless

Being Grateful

Just to appreciate everything you have.

What I've noticed about myself and people around me is that sometimes we do forget the things that we've obtained. But to be honest we're human beings, which is not an excuse but we do tend to forget particular things until we are reminded.

That's why it's always good to reflect.

Even being grateful for seeing today... because I always say it, there's people who have not had the privilege to see today but you have!

Just something to think about.

God bless

Don't worry...



As the picture states... do not worry about tomorrow...
Why are you worrying about a day that hasn't even come to existence?

Do you even know if you're going to see the next day?

Why are you worrying about things that haven't even reached yet? Scripture says, 1 Peter 5:7, 'Cast your burdens onto him, for he cares for you'

You see that? He cares for YOU. Do you know how big God is? Do you think your problems will weigh God down?

I don't think so.

He's there for you. Give it to him. Don't bottle those feelings up.

Things may seem rough now, yes, but it's only for a time. Everything in life has a time, and when the time has run out.. it goes. So don't think that problem is going to last forever, it will run its course and go.

Don't think about giving up just yet... be reminded that when you feel like giving up, it only means that your blessing is right around the corner.

Just hold on that little bit longer.

Keep going.

God bless

Time of reflection..



It's always good to reflect on life. Do you know why? So we don't forget all of the good things that has happened to us... we don't forget the people that helped us along the way, and most importantly we don't forget where we came from.

One thing I always say to myself is when I make it to where God wants me to be, I do not want forget who helped me along the way, and I really don't want to forget where I came from.

You see, with God.. when he takes you somewhere, he always takes you from somewhere low and brings you up. That's so we will appreciate it more when we get there. But then we have to be careful because that's where pride and ego can set in and we not only forget where we came from, but we become arrogant and we let it all get to our heads. That's what I DON'T want. EVER.

Because.. the same thing God gave to you, he can easily take it away, like *snaps fingers* that.

That's why it's so important to be humble.. to be humble just means to take what is given to you. To bring yourself down.. your pride, your so called knowledge (truly, our knowledge comes from above) and let God do it. Humbleness attracts success.. it attracts more blessing than you could ever imagine.

That's why where you start from is never bright, it's always from a dark grim place.. and then God shows up and brings you to a place that he's planned for you.
That's how God works... he comes to a place that is mash up.. a place where everything looks hopeless, and he glorifies himself.

How else would you know he's God?

If God comes when everything is fine, how would you know if it was him doing anything? He works in ways we could NEVER imagine.

So when you are expecting something from God.. keep your eyes peeled because he doesn't come the way that you are expecting him to come.

But.. I always reflect, I'm a serial reflector/thinker.. and I can't help but to think about everything that has happened to me and how I've managed to survive.. how I've managed to keep it together.. it's all down to God.

So... definitely take time to reflect on your life.. and just know that God is backing you in everything. Always invite him in your life.. in your day, in your morning, when you're walking... he wants you to. He wants to talk to you, hear him out.

It's something else.

God bless

For the Ladies...



^^This picture is currently on my Blackberry Messenger, and it has so many connotations.

Lets state what's in the picture: A woman who is on her knees with the world on her shoulders.

Women... we are all strong. In whatever aspect, we are strong. The 'world' is everything we experience in life. But the fact that she is on her knees and still managing to hold the world on her shoulders, we are all stronger than we ought to believe. Twists, turns and struggles may come our way, but at the end of it all, we still manage to keep it on our shoulders.

Men indeed need a woman to back them... they can't handle a lot on their own, and it's because they need a strength of a woman. Men are physically and mentally strong but women have a strength that cannot be measured. It's not a sexist thing, it's what I've witnessed, and also I've come to find out through my own personal experiences.

That's why it says in Genesis 2:23

'The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man'

A man and a woman are cut from the same mould, but there are strengths that a woman has that a man doesn't. There has to be a balance!

What I'm trying to say is, Women.. we do a lot; and I don't think none of us realise how much we take on board until we sit down and reflect!
Just because you're emotional doesn't mean you are weak. It means you can express yourself without any shame.

Imagine: carrying the entire world on our shoulders? And we make it look so easy, when it is not!
Do not be discouraged if things aren't going the way it ought to... it's just a test of our strength, to see how long we can endure. We go through so much pain, emotional damage, a lot of things that we may think we could never get through..

But we do.

No one said life was going to be easy, so really all we can do is to persevere. Despite all of the things that go on in our families, in our lives, whatever the case maybe.. we still find a way to manage.

Come on.
You are strong.

God bless

It's August!

A new month. A new thing that God will do.

I know I haven't updated, and that's all on my part.
Life is so demanding... and my spiritual father always says something, 'We have given the power to make wealth' God gives us power and authority to do what we couldn't do. We have the POWER to CREATE.

Are you still with me here?

God is not a magician. You don't just sit there and wait for God to come down from the clouds before you do something. God is a spirit. He uses US as his vessels for what he wants to do for this world to be what he wants it to be.
So WE have to put the work in; that's why scripture says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me'

So.. whatever you are seeking for. GO FOR IT. God has given us the power to do it. Don't just sit there and expect God to come.

God does not come the way we are expecting. God can manifest himself through a baby, a dog, a toddler.. anything! You don't know, that's why it's never good to expect. Just have belief and faith.

Scripture also says, 'We walk by faith, not by sight' 2 Corinthians 5:7

That means, the things that you are praying for.. the things that have been declared over your life.. you have to have FAITH and believe so that it comes to pass. Lets say 'Faith' is our spiritual sight. Do you know how powerful your faith can be once you build it up?

Even me.. I'm getting to a level.. but my faith is not up there just yet. I'll admit, sometimes it sways, and I do get a bit double minded, and that's never good. But God is helping my slowly. When your faith sways too much.. BUILD IT UP.

How?

Encourage yourself in the word of God.
Find yourself a spiritual father/mother
PRAY

Prayer is key. It helps a lot. God has answered a lot of my prayers and I get so marveled. He HEARS ME! If that doesn't build up your faith... I dunno what will.

But that's all for now. I gots so many other things to write; but I promise I'll update tomorrow or even this evening...

God bless
