If you could see my face…

I was just going over this blog and thinking.

What would you think, if you could see my face?

Now going back to how a lady should dress (and a fathers comment), through this, I am sharing the real me.

I am sharing my heart, my wisdom, the love for the lord, everything I have to give.

So if you saw my face, (eg like boobs hanging out) what would you think?

You would concentrate on my outer layer, not my heart or mind. The meaning would get lost in translation.

Are you thinking? If you are then that is fabulous, that is what I want you to do. Think differently, you are so brilliant just the way the father has made you and you can think and use your mind for great things.

What I am trying to show you is to get past what you see, in the father’s house you learn. That things happen in the heavenlies before they happen on earth. So if I cannot see what my father is doing, I have excitement, curiosity and faith.

Believing is faith in action.

Your voice….

When I was younger no one knew I could sing a tune, until one day I was so frustrated with my older sister.

She was in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar, she had no tone, she couldn’t keep a beat. Mum was trying to explain to her what she need to do, my mother could hear the right note, but couldn’t produce it.

I was standing their, the youngest and quietest. I just opened my mouth and let it out, right on the button and loud as I could manage. It was funny at the time because they both looked at me gobsmacked, the thought I had a voice and could do what they couldn’t.

Now I am not trying to grand stand here, I have a point to this.

Something someone said to me has hit home, singers of the world had a moment when a spirit visited them and offered them a ring, this happened to Michael Jackson. A promise of being famous and a king of music, riches will be yours (danger).

I need to explain: The devil was in charge of music, he was an angel and put in charge, God was pleased. But he got too big for his boots, he thought he was greater than God and told him so. God threw him out of heaven and into hell (there is a longer version) but my point.

When I was younger and I found God, this was offered to me. Thank God I said, “NO” my voice was given to me by him and it belongs to him. I do not need to stand on a stage and be glorified, to end up loosing my real self and become lost.

Money and fame are not my driving force, he is. The devil today uses music to manipulate those who listen to the wrong music, I love to sing and dance. Especially worshipping the lord, I know this to be true, I wouldn’t add it in otherwise.

Just be very careful, do things by watching and checking your heart. I don’t want anyone else to become lost or die because of this. If you google the man who saw Princess Diana and Michael Jackson in hell might help with why I wrote this.

This touched me, so I thought I would let it speak for itself

This piece might interest, inspire, and elicit a change of attitude to at least one person. An incident transpired when Muhammad Ali’s daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were quite revealing.

Here is the story as told by one of his daughters:

“When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father’s suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.

My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to.

Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.

Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.

Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You’ve got to work hard to get to them.”

He looked at me with serious eyes. “Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.”

My thoughts: Ladies should dress as such, we are taught dressing sexy gets you what you want, or you’re not pretty unless you do. Really? I think dressing respectfully for ourselves is what is required, we need not cover ourselves from head to foot but boobs hanging out, where is the mystery.

If someone likes you, let them like the real you, not your body. Marriages don’t last because we get lazy and let it all hang out, respect yourself, food for thought.

Gifts and talents???

I hear people say to me all the time, you have so many different gifts and talents!

Hhhhmmmmmmmm

Thinking about this, I think I have the answer.

God gives gifts and talents to a lot of people, but they give up, put it off or turn away.

So he has these things he needs to be done, I think, he has to give them to, whom is willing.

Because people have dropped the ball, he goes ok, you said you would, honour your word to me, and all these things will be added.

I dont have one more special to the other, it makes me no greater than the person sitting next to me.

But he knows I will move, when he speaks. He knows I will get over myself, and do his will for me.

Thats why, and he knows I will not list my good deeds or ask for the glory. But humble myself with meekness, do what needs doing for him.

I can do all things in Christ, who stengthens me.

Explaination time

Sometimes I may hit between the eyes.

I would rather read it from someone who has wisdom and experience.

Than the father come in and hit you.

I have hit the brick wall, you have no option than to turn around and face it, then fight back the right way.

Save your time and energy and get the msg to you.

Warning.. for you

Have you ever thought, oh I will do it later, or even go next week.

Have you said to the Lord, not today, next time.

When we need him we EXPECT him to be ready for us, to help with whatever road block we sometimes (most of the time) create ourselves.

Any of this sound familiar, trust me when I say, I am telling myself off.

Get your butt moving, he doesn’t take a break, so why do YOU think you can?

Get over yourself, stop putting up blockages and (sorry for the bluntness) get your ass in the boat.

No, not next week or next time, these are EXCUSE and times up.

EXCUSES are used by babies, shut up and move into what he has for you. STOP letting the devil use your family, job or house.

HE IS TALKING TO YOU, not them.

HE IS MAKING A COMMAND, not a request.

Stop justifying your life decisions, give it purpose and direction.

Go on what have you got to loose? (I think you know)

Fear is an illusion

I once was a person full of fear, quiet, reserved, shy etc etc.

He has changed me so very much and I have nothing but gratitude. I feared everything, speaking up, making a decision, you name it I had it.

I was softly spoken and shy, hated groups or meeting new people. I was never bold, does any of this sound familiar?

I am now, FEARLESS. Fear a hold of the devil and I will not fear. Trust me when I say, “it’s only in your mind” (don’t go jumping out of a plane). The devil tries to control you with doubt, but the Lord stands their and says, TRUST IN ME.

Last night I realized something, if I was in a boat on water and the Lord said, Trust me get out and walk towards me, I could.

Do you realize the magnitude of this? I am in that place, this is awesome. What he has ahead, I don’t know, but I have no fear of it, only excitement. He knew my end from the very beginning, he has my plans, all he wants was me to surrender and TRUST.

I remember when I stepped over my fear, it was really like just stepping on new ground, what is scary about that? And only good has come forth since.

He has entrusted me with these gifts, I have flipped the switch and moved to the opposite of what held me back.

I wouldn’t be writing this if he hadn’t, TRANSFORMED my life.

Value…….Checklist time

Last night I was having trouble sleeping, so I was thinking of a checklist.

What value do I have? What have I learnt about myself in the 8 years I have been in God’s house, what has changed or been improved?

A white lie or embellished truth, is a lie and I choose to confront and tell only the truth.
Honesty leads you into integrity.

If someone is in front of you and frustrates you, then look at yourself, what part of your flesh needs to be confronted and changed? Most of the time it’s you, not them.

I have found out if God fixes something in me, then he has not finished. He built the house and he will furnish and decorate, not you.

Surrender every part of yourself, he will do the rest. Be willing and don’t fight it. It’s like child-birth, don’t prolong it, push through and work with the pain.

One major thing I have learnt is, I am not the fixer. No one is going to get angry, or hit anyone, I am safe and it is OK.

I always thought, if I could fix something or help someone, there would be peace. WRONG, this is something I was trained to act out, growing up as a child. I am no longer that child, but I have learnt to keep watch, old habits die-hard.

If someone lives a certain way and needs help, I have to let him do it. If he asks me then yes I am here, but it is NOT UP TO ME to go ahead of him.

They have to find out themselves, it’s their journey, not mine. I have to look at me and work with my father for the improvements, everything has a time and season.

I am not bog filla (that I thought I was), if I don’t do anything, the world won’t stop. It’s ok to let them fall, just concentrate on me, he is trying to teach me, not them.

Took a while to get this, but finally I got it.

And I am a person who can be trusted and counted on, that’s my value to date.

Exciting news, just believe

Nearly every Sunday night we have prayer meeting as I have shared with you.

After we finished someone said has anyone got Asthma, I put my finger up.

Comment:
Didn’t know you had it but god has a word for you he is going to heal you.
He came over and prayed for me (Won’t go on), well something rose up in me. (Sick of functioning on shallow breathing, weezing, medications etc).

I had this gutteral growl come out of me, I said to it, “Get out in Jesus name, GET OUT” repeated several more times.

LOL, I had this knowing, what am I doing if I just stand here all meek and mild. He said, ‘I have all power and authority, so action station’ I have to do something not just expect it, he doesn’t move unless you do, he wont act unless you call.

Came home coughed and spluttered, because it will try and come back on you, next day, I noticed I could take a deep breath, I have had to retrain myself to breath normally.

But I AM HEALED, yahoo Jesus wins again. God said it and I believe it, that settles it for me.

Another KEY: put up the NO VACANCY sign so it cannot come back.

I feel his cry…and I love him so very much

Are you scared, I am, fear the Lord, he is so powerful.

The last days are here, not saying the world is ending, just saying this is it. Before he returns to us as the age he left, signs are here and my god what is about to take place, I cannot even put into words.

But if a horror movie doesn’t scare you, just you wait.

I have fear in one way, another is a cry of the fathers heart for those who have had the opportunity over and over to walk in his walk.

I would rather be in his boat that in the washing machine of the world. I trust him with my life and he has never let me down. NEVER

He has kept his word to me every single time, I have not agreed sometimes with the process but when I get to the end I see what he was trying to do. And everytime I love him more, I am growing up and getting stronger with each passing day.

I keep saying “what does not break me, WILL make me stonger in Jesus name” I stand by that, you never know how strong you are until your tested.

Keys I have found, surrender, be willing and keep going, step across the line and trust him.
