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...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Way of the Eagle

God will Fly Faster than you will fall..Then He will catch you! Qualities of an Eagle..we should have these things as Christians 1) An Eagle has Great Vision: It is easy to get lost without a vision 2)  An Eagle feasts only on Living things: We are alive in Christ, we do not need the dead things of our past 3) An Eagle is Faithful : We should be faithful in our relationship with our mates, friends, families and most of all in our relationship with God! When Does an Eagle Soar to the sky with its eyes set on the sun? 1) When a storm is approaching The Eagle sets its eyes on the heaven above as a storm approaches. We need to set our Gaze on Christ when storms come our way. "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:2 2) When its enemy approaches The Condor is Eagle's enemy and it knows the only way it can win is if the Eagle stays down (when the Eagle doesn't soar to the sky) The only way our enemy will win u...
