A time for me

I know I haven't blogged in a while! Was doing a lot of things and preparing myself to go back to work and blah blah, yadda yadda..

But while on my holiday and even now, I've been in a consistent time of reflection about myself and if I'm being true to myself and to God.

Now.. what I mean by that is.. you can be a complete believer in God.. but you could still be working against him or doing things he doesn't agree of unknowingly.

I was watching this video on Youtube about Blair Wingo, she's a poet, and she uses her gift to speak the realities of God. I watched her interview on how she became born again and she was saying on how she knew about God and everything, but she was playing a 'role' she didn't truly know God until one day when she heard a word, and she gave her life to God properly.

Now.

What this made me think is, am I truly in it for God, or am I just believing in God because he can do something for me? Sometimes, I sit and think about my life now, and I really marvel and sit amazed at who I am now; because I also knew God too.. But I feel within myself, this is where I belong--with God. I think about if I didn't have him, where in the world would I even be? Especially with losing my mother 2 years ago.

But... I can definitely say that my life is in God's hands. I live everyday as it comes and depend on God.. because I don't have anything or anyone else..

Just like in life.. we can easily lie to ourselves or we could live a lie...

It's just good to sit down and reflect about yourself..

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.

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
