The NEW YEAR! LITTERALLY
MY dearest brothers and sisters!! we have grown closer? no? yes? whatever :P i feel closer as a family even as i am here for only 9 months! God's grace in all things. I've heard history of our region but hey, the new year is here! lets us expect greater things! ^^ lets break the record for the climax of our lives everyday bcoz living with Jesus is fun!^^ :P
My new year resolutions? This time, to make an impact in whatever place i'm in. To tell the people what they wanted to hear, HOPE. The world is depressing as it is, Jesus is what they need. To shine in the darkness, to walk on water, to break down and destroy strongholds are a few things that are heavy in my heart. i know, being a radio DJ and venturing into the media have its "risk" but please, allow me to share my heart on this. This is also for all who may have lived in this "Fear"
I as a christian have tried to backslide so many times. i Find God holding on to me more than the other way round.
Theres once i told God, THATS IT! LORD I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE! INTO THE WORLD I GO!
i felt my fire just got drown out. i was finally dead in spirit. Right after i said it, i looked out my window. I saw from afar this bird flying towards me, its an eagle. I looked curiously as the majestic bird flew just outside of my window and flew 3 rounds. Then God breathed upon me and said " Isaiah 40:31 and those who wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount on wings as eagles, he shall run and not be faint, walk and not be weary" Electricity passed through my body and fire burst forth my heart. i fell on my knees in repentance and love unto God. I cant live without God.
There have been other times but this is the more interesting kinds. my point? It is the faithfulness of God that keeps us, not so much of our faith sometimes. YES! faith IS important, Faith MOVES MOUNTAINS! however, it is God who is FAITHFUL to his promise towards us that MOVES the mountain! If it is OUR faith that keeps us in God then isn't it just OUR strength? Dearest beloved, even as u draw near to God, know one of his character. He will keep us n protect us better than ourself. I was once in the same fear that i told God, " LORD! I cant do it! i may stumble myself u know! " I remember him chuckling and said " If ur strong tower by which you hide is yourself, then u will fall. But he who hides himself in the LORD will never fall! Becoz i am his strong tower, as long as I don fall, HE will never fall. NO ONE can harm the one whom i've covered with my hand" Being in Darkness means temptation, being in darkness meant mingling with those who are unholy, Jesus mixed with sinners did he not? Our relationship with the Lord will keep us from falling into darkness! I FEAR not backsliding bcoz i have PURPOSED in my heart that i refuse to deny christ in anyway! I will walk where God wans me to, and i will draw my strength from the Lord my God!I've made my choice towards God, now its his Job for bringing me through. A backslide prove life is not a life of perfection, but a life of surrender unto God. Is our love for God so shallow that we even fear we MIGHT fade away from him? I refuse to believe so, for if Jesus n his disciples can shine then so can i! For the SAME SPIRIT that Raised Christ from the Dead is the same spirit in ME! I can do ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST who strengthens me. With God Nothing is impossible! Fear NOTHING but the LORD GOD! Nothing is more terrible than God! and yet his wrath is diverted away from us to his son, Jesus Christ. He looks on us with loving eyes, my loves. We now stand Worthy! BCOZ of the Blood of Christ! we now can talk to him BECOZ of HIS sacrifice! WHEN is it EVER our works?? WHEN is it ever about the strength of our faith? Its is GOD WHO KEEPS US! MORE THAN OURSELVES! WE just need to make the choice to follow him when he appears to us, in HIS WAY. Its our choice to follow! Let us not have unnecessary fears as we move on. Trust God more than our own strength to hold on to him!
something to close with.
I can live without a partner (i wana marry! but for now, ya)
I can live without entertainment
I can live without eating
I can live without Drinking
i can even live without breathing
But i cant live without Jesus
For i be as good as dead without him.
For these reasons, its as good as dying if i backslide
So do i die in the flesh with ChrisT
Or without him?
Let our lives answer the questions.
