An encouragement to those of you who have hit rock bottom: GOD is ABLE

16-23 July 2012

I want to encourage you if you are in a difficult situation and facing conflict in your life. These experiences I write about just do not happen to me in the world, it happens to people who take their stand on the rock-Jesus, who take their relationship with God seriously and still can praise God when they are falling apart. Let me remind you I am 22 years of age, a young lady, although I feel at a ripe old age at times (eye brow up), I do not limit myself. I push through. When you persevere and demand the supernatural you go places in the spiritual realm and the mysteries of God become known to you. I remind myself of Gods promises and that he is my FATHER. I warn Satan when I find him I will give him a few smacks and drop the word of God on his head. Not because of me, I have no power but that resurrected power lives in me and that is Jesus.

I am thinking of my besty Vannessa Govender, when we see Satan taking advantage of Gods people it upsets us and we become violent. This means waging war (Remember the post called A declaration when waging war) for us and we will go to war as Soldiers for Christ (Previous Post called Soldiers for Christ) and in style too.

This is my story and it can be yours to………

I was between a rock and a hard place. I thought I hit rock bottom because everything was going wrong for me, well so my natural mind thought at one point. Teaching practice started on the 16^th of July 2012, I had a problem with my mentor. He scared my insides out (Straight face). I only had my last few South African rands in my sequence black wallet. (Blush face for my bling wallet). My allergies were spreading throughout my body (horrific to imagine). My Microsoft 2010 on my Toshiba laptop went crazy and then I realized I had a trial version and never download it when my besty Nicolan Steffan Govender also known as NS Govender (did I mention he teaches Ns-Natural Science) {bust laughing} insisted I install it. I told him ill do it later, every time he reminded me ill tell him later, later, Stef, Later!

Guess what? #thinking face#

 Later never came. (Cynical smile) How on Earth was I going to make worksheets now or do my other work?

Do not dare answer the question

Did you read my post called “a written reflection on my thoughts”?

 I was honest about my writing; I quote “It’s been years since I have written anything down with regards to my thoughts, feelings, and inspirations of theories. When I say years, I mean since high School that is. Maybe it is because of the Globalization and the introduction of blackberry’s which I had to switch off due to distractions and another is my Mother who swings the door open with just one touch. I also have to admit my very untidy writings that I, myself fail to interpret #crazy# I know, thankfully Love Letter days are over. I would never be able to get my message across”

Now you understand why I was panic mode? (Eye brow up).

 I got more which happened; my purple berry’s battery was dying within three hours. I need my phone for many reasons, ministry is important and my lecturer will need to contact me. Ministry over the lecturer, I’m aware my lecturer contacting me seems to be made more important when reading but is not the case. You should know me by now. Lecturer from the university of kwa-Zulu Natal in south Africa-Pinetown calls me on the 15^th of July 2012, Sunday, the day before teaching practice to tell me she is coming to crit my lesson on Wednesday (18^th July) when I suppose to be observing lessons on the first week of teaching practice. What a wonderful way to start my final year teaching practice (sigh). I had my plate full but no appetite to eat (sarcasm).

 What next?

 Oh my hair iron did not want to come on. Every girl’s nightmare, please wake me up. Pinch me if you have to darling.

In the midst of everything I was experiencing in my life at once, I told myself, my father is with me, Abba will not leave me, I said with tears in my eyes “God if you brought me to it you will take me through it”. I am sensitive okay; sometimes I am and other times I am firm. I watch Oprah and cry (hands blocking eyes). I am currently dealing with my sensitivity. I believed strongly I will get through it. I also told myself God is in control. When I prayed I said to God “God, will you ever lie to me? Are you lying to me? You are not man that you will lie. I have faith in you God that you will show up in my situation because you are faithful to your promises; your word is full of your promises.” I begin to prophecy the supernatural over my life and every situation. I said to Abba, I will be a living testimony and I will reach Nation with my life, all for your Glory because I am nothing without you (previous post called who am I without Jesus). Afterwards I worshiped God in his throne room.

God came and embraced me, his presence revived me. I felt as if I had no obstacle yet I had a mountain before me.

How can this be the case?

I understood GOD Is ABLE

GOD IS A SUPERNATURAL GOD

GOD IS BIGGER THAN MY PROBLEMS

Scenes to follow:

My lecturer turned out to be such an angel pie hehehehe and when she called me the night before she mentioned I must not be scared she is here to help me. It was pure motivation, I could see my shadow and knew there must be light even in the dark tunnel. The lecturer from the university came to crit my Natural Science grade seven class on Pure substances and mixtures. I emptied my mother’s cupboards looking for seeds to use as mixtures. It was a success! When we sat down in the staff room to discuss my lesson. She smiled, held my arm and said I AM SO HAPPY WITH YOU, YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKE TO BE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER. God came through for me. He elevated me like Noah in the flood. She spoke so highly off me to my Teacher Liaison (Teacher in the school who is in charge of student teachers) and principal but my rating was average. This makes no sense but hey MY GOD IS ABLE. My lecture is coming again on the 1^st of August. I believe in God of the second chance. My second crit lecture I did well and got an A, Thanks to God. I believed God will come through for me and he did with my crit for Natural Science. My other two crit lessons went well with the university lecturer for Life Orientation and I got 95 % for both. My internal mentors where supportive and gave me A’s. Remember I said he scared my insides out. This individual complained to my teacher Liaison that I lack confidence. I almost cried hearing my teacher Liaison tell me those words. I know if I lacked confidence I would not be doing so well. I explained to her how this mentor makes me nervous, does not give me a chance in the classroom, is confused about content and forgets instruction given to me. I told her I find it hard to believe because I go out of my way making worksheets; he even used my worksheet as an assignment to send to the department, which I marked those 80 scripts and Sir confused a question with one class so I had to have different memos. After teaching in his class for a crit lesson, he interrupts me all the time, gives me a lecture after school and as I am falling apart on my way home I find my best Steffan has left me making an assumption I left him. My dear friend is sitting with my mother at my house.can u believe that? 
I am crying like a tsunami and my best friend is comfortably sitting in my house. 
I was all alone in the natural, I could not understand why did he not bbm me or wait or look around for me, the school isn’t that big, now is it?

BUT

God wanted me to realize he is able and I should trust him and not man. When all the people are gone and all you left with is God then you finally comes to the realization you have everything you need because all you ever needed is God.

I cried a lot but I said God is able and that same teacher gave me 90% for my lesson. What an incredible GOD, MY DADDY.

My grandfather (Maternal) bought me a new battery and charger and my phone worked well afterwards.

My eczema is clearing slowly but surely. My secret: I demand for supernatural healing power of God to be like oil all over me. Try it, I have seen it work on many people who had bones pains and even muscle pains and I have faith one day God will use me to raise dead people. Phew! What an alive picture (LOL-Laughing out Loud). Goosebumps all over whhhoooo weeeeeeeee!

My mother spoke Irvine Rajgopaul from church that is a part of the phoenix branch church (South Africa) to install Microsoft for me and he did that Sunday for a combined meeting. He agreed and I was over the moon.



Irvine and Leola Rajgopaul



My bursary was not suppose to pay me during teaching practice in July because they paid me a small amount in may but they paid me three times that amount.

GOD CAN

GOD IS ABLE

GOD IS MORE THAN ABLE

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

GOD CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW

GOD IS NOT MAN THAT HE WILL LIE

The Mind

It is said to be the Devils work shop.  A place where we hear the voice of Abba Father and we can hear foreign voices.  Where the idea of master minds are born.  Where personality is, where all different kinds of thoughts linger.  Some thoughts are ignored; others are increased when we think about it further.

All these activities are just a fraction of what goes on in the human mind.

Ever wondered what causes a murderer, molester or criminal to behave in the manner which they do. What causes someone who is so quiet in nature to brutally murder? Is this abnormal behaviour even acknowledged by them that this is unacceptable to society? How does someone come to a point of no hope and commit a horrid deed that consists of planning to take their own life - Suicide? Is this a result of over thinking? Pressure or depression, maybe even disappointment?

Research shows if someone attempts suicide and fails it , the likelihood is they are going to try it again until they COMPLETE SUICIDE.

Lunatics are said to be called Lunatics because they are affected by changes of the Lunar, also known as the moon.

Interesting facts but let’s look at how our human minds can limit us and distract us from the purposes of God.

One negative thought can increase to a point it eliminates all positive thoughts.

Guilt can eat you up inside where you cannot forgive yourself from your sin you have committed YET God has forgiven you. Please do not get the wrong impression about what I am saying. I am saying guilt is good if you DO NOT repeat a mistake and you learn from it but were guilt can be so wrong is when you cut yourself from people, church and ministry all because you feel you can never in a million years be forgiven.

Point: We sin daily, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Your human mind can say God can give me ONLY 10 yet God can give you 100. Our minds can limit God and out trust in him.

Your mind can keep you so occupied you forget to pray, worship or go to church.

How many times you said OH IT JUST SLIPPED MY MIND

When you think of inaccuracy, when you think of committing sin, by just thinking it IT is a sin. We cannot say I never perform it because you thought of it. It is like saying I purchased alcohol but I do not plan to consume it or I gave my friend money for drugs but I did not buy the drugs. Wrong! It is a sin!

When you have positive thoughts ranging in different sizes in your head you remain focused that if you are walking on a straight road you see ONLY what is in front of you and not a bird flying on your right and your neighbour excitedly waving on your left.

Meditating on the word, all things lovely, good, noble, true and pure is as the saying goes Good for your health.

Rebuke negative and inaccurate thoughts because a thought entertained is like going to snake, acknowledging it is going to bite you, poison you, entangle you and eat you but you choose to allow this serpent in your life.

Rebuke negative voices that says you cannot, you will never, you will suffer, you will not be forgiven.

Negativity can be brought to you by situations, people, loved ones, the enemy and even you yourself is a convict because if you do not meditate on the word of God, an intimate relationship with God, Prayer,. Worship, praise, listening to right kinds of music (PREFERABLY CHRISTIAN) then do you have time to even allow a negative thought to enter your mind.

A thought turns into an idea, and then soon your whole mentality is transformed to think a certain way. Those negative thought came into your territory. You allowed Mr and Mrs Negative to stay in your outbuilding, you kept checking on Mr and Mrs Negative and they felt so at home they multiplied every time you checked on them. You knew it was wrong or you did not expect to get out of hand. You still checked on the family and the little negatives grew and multiplied until they kicked you out of YOUR home so now you are lost. WHAT TO DO?

MAKE UP YOUR MIND NOW

SET YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW

FOCUS YOUR MIND ON PURITY AND ACURACY

Next time negative comes to visit. You know what to do. Rebuke in the name of Jesus and block out voices of foreigners.

 

Intimacy with Our Creator: Acknowledge Gods love for you and embrace it

At a function or walking in public place you come across various different types of people. some of which are couples and you notice the couples which just had a fight and those couples that are madly inlove with each other. You do not need to know theses couples personally or overhear a conversation to see whether they are friends, relatives or just had a fight because its really quiet evident.

How? you might ask. the answer is quiet simple as it is quiet evident. Think about all the times you entered a shop and saw a male madly inlove with a girl yet she displayed feelings of no interest what so ever. You felt real bad for him beacuse you expected her to feel the same way about him.

What if you where that person. you probably thinking No, you can not be the female who is blinded by the love her friend, partner or boyfriend has for her. you felt sympathy, maybe even empathy for that Guy yet you yourself is not taking the Love God has for you seriously. all because you are blinded by it, all because you choose to focus on other things rather than the agape Love God has for you. if I made you think all about your LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CREATOR then ask yourself if you acknowledge GOD. If you begin to feel guilty, remember that is not going to change the situation by jus feeling guilty, there should be change. When there is no action put forth. you see, i can put forth all types of theories, great ideas and interesting facts but if theres nothing done then im Equivalent to a hypocrite. OUCH? did i hurt you. i had no intention my dear friend, if you think you are hurt, imagine how u break Gods heart by not even looking at him.

the good news is its never to late. God loves you so much he would even take you back and he wants you to know he has forgiven you. Shocking?
 i know but that my friend is jusat the beginning. He sent his only begotten so to die for you John 3V16.

God longs to hold you in his arms as he whispers into your ears, telling you how much you mean to him. as God holds you so close to him that you can hear the rythm of his heart beat, you begin to realise that you are his heart beat. you dance together gracefully, slowly and God looks you in the eye and his eyes twinkle like the bright stars. 

What a picture, What a feeling. No words can describe that moment. Make the choice to embrace the love God has for you. Do not be like the female that lacks interest and focus.
