Yes, I am alive! :)

First of,  I want to start by saying I am alive! Most importantly I am alive in the Lord! I pray you won't confuse the lack of posts with lack of things to post about! In fact, God has been doing crazy amazing things! I mean it when I say this...He has blown/ is blowing me away! Hear me out...

Part of my daily struggle comes from my deep liking( I didn't want to say love) of having structure, order and routine in place for everything! I know to most that sounds crazy...but to me that is the icing on my cake! Like the best kind of Icing too! :) I started this blog by following a schedule, I had a system in place...I post Prayer of the Week on Mondays, Challenge of the Week on Tuesdays, Sermons on Wednesdays, Video of the Week on Thursdays and sermon illustrations on Fridays! I started it and still is with great intentions! It is from a heart of wanting to show you my daily walk with Him that you may find your story in Him as I found mine.

But you see, even in this, religiousness could attack! Did attack!! At first it started out with me saying I missed a Monday post, then it became out of obligation that I had to post on Tuesday and the days to follow! God forbid I miss more days! In the midst of all this I moved to an entirely different city, province. I moved to a place where I started working crazy shifts and had weird day offs! That freaked me out because I couldn't keep up with the pattern I had in place! Yes, you can say if I really wanted to I would make time for it! But that, my brothers and sisters, is besides the point! I started my blog as a way to share the blessings I have received but it turned into a burden!

That is exactly what religion does! It sets bunch of rules and when you fail to keep one then you are discouraged! Soon after you will find yourself lost and bound in physically and spiritually draining cycle of trying to earn grace! You lose your freedom! Your heart grows cold! It becomes a chore than an avenue to share His love! It becomes that thing on your list you need to cross out!

Though my blog is a simple illustration, there are so many that are still stuck in the 'earning grace' mentality! I pray the Lord frees you! In Jesus name, may your spiritual eyes be opened! May you see that all the good works are a result of His unending grace, not a means to earn it! I pray for freedom over you in Jesus name! I pray that this will give you peace! I pray that you will truly surrender to Him! I pray that you will have a deep understanding of what it means to be saved by Grace and NOT by Works!!!

Hahahah! It is fair to assume that my blog will no longer be as structured as it used to be!! For those who love structure..well as long as it does not turn into a religious chore..go for it..start blogging! ;) Share your posts with me! :)

I pray that the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of the Father, and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit will be with you all. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

 Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...
