Acting

09 May 2012

I was always a chatter box growing up. I was told once I first talked I never stopped (rolling eyes). I find this statement made by sarcastic family members to be absurd.   I had to stop to catch my breath and I am sure as there are the heavens and Earth, I surely did not sleep talk. I do admit looking at some home videos I am on a mission to destroy. My family find my expression and impersonations hilarious, brilliant and cute. Oh Yeah! I agree with them but it is so embarrassing to look at.

 Mum insists the guy I someday decide to bring home to marry will have to watch every home video and look at all my pictures.

 I feel doubt in my heart, doubt she does not want to see me marry. (Head down).

At the age of eight and nine or was it nine or ten, ummh, (Old Age) my mother enrolled me at Academy of Speech and Drama. Maeshni Naicker was my drama teacher who acted in “Broken Promises” as Saras. After two years off sending me to Speech and Drama Mother dearer had come to a conclusion which is…..

It added to my dramatic self, consequences are frightening.

Thankfully I was a monitor at class. The one time my teacher made another learner the monitor my name went on the board for talking before my teacher could leave the classroom. (Yikes)

Drama is my passion. Friends at Campus (University of Kwa-Zulu Natal Edgewood) call me DQ-Drama Queen

and I am not willing to let out any other nicknames from my childhood at this point. (Talk to the hand).  I wanted to do drama but my mum said there is not much money there, well years ago; times have altered the state of the work place and opportunities. I could have easily done drama or arts and culture as learning area but I did not want added drama (Stress), no pun intended (Giggles).

Choosing an intermediate and senior phase (Grade 4-9) in Bachelor of Education is the only phase that bridges both the primary and high schools therefore this meant being flexible with various subjects. One core module is called LAS (Learning Area Studies) comprising of Social Science one term and Arts culture the Second. The arts culture component requires you to develop a production comprising of song and dance for twelve minutes performed in a theatre with lecturers being present and sitting as Judges. We had to choose a History Topic and do a play about the History topic of your choice.

There is more….you needed to have lighting, props and it is open to the rest of the campus.

I feel like I am giving this description to learners and it is for marks (Oh my word, laughing out loud)

The highlight is I played an Indian man who falls in love with the maid and comes in drunk to his engagement to another young lady (Indian) there after running away with the maid.

Phew!!!! (Wiping sweat of face)

I looked so much like a man that I felt so odd using the ladies toilet, I got a shock when I looked at myself in the mirror in the Tinkle room (my nick for the Loo). I was like AAAh man (African American accent). It scared me so much to know I was behaving like a man, before the play I met a few friends male and female who went right pass me. Guys shook my hand and said What Kind bru. I was like Luka bru, how it’s vying. I was convincing until the dress room got cluttered. This dude looks at my Glimmer stick facial hair. Shock hit him I thought he was going to run on the stage. That was a good sign; the horrific moment was when I was even followed by other sexualities.

After the play when our group got together to take a few memorable snap shots. I told my friends WAIT!!! They asked me why? All confuzzled (confused). I told them my Shirt is not in my pants. They all burst out laughing but I saw no harm in what I said in the first few seconds. Delayed action I laughed mouth opened 30 seconds later. It was cheese time and mouth closed time (Flash).

While walking to the change rooms I bounced and walked. After dressing up from my man suit to my girlish clothes. I felt so odd and this my friends made me appreciate being me. Not me being a man (C’mon). Made me appreciate being my true self.

 What if I put a show for people making them to believe I am one type of person but in a different setting or behind closed doors I am someone totally opposite to who I really am?

People put masks on to be accepted by people because of attention (Spotlight), to fulfil expectations of others and peer pressure. If I had to please all the people in my life I will be so unhappy.

Think of all the people in your life at present.
A lot huh?

Imagine pleasing each and every individual.

Pressurizing and impossible

BUT

Friends in Christ Jesus

Pleasing God can make life easier than you think.

When I was at home I was a different girl compared to being at church and the same in School and with friends. It was difficult to stay as one person everywhere and even more difficult to decide which person I want to be everywhere.

Pulling off an act is easy but one slip up can melt your make up from your face like a hot summer’s day. Yeah I experienced that once, okay twice (Nose growing).

Are u split personality (Schizophrenia/ (Schizophrenic)?

In the play called “LIFE” are you playing a dual role?

Leading a double life can confuse you when you forget which role you playing

What role do you play, rather how do you play it?

You can fool everyone but you cannot fool God

You can lie to everyone but you lying more to yourself

I’d be lying to you to say it was easy changing, the popular one and life of the party but who says I am not popular now and not partying. Now the Angels and enemy knows me and my name and I party in the Heavens. God? He always knew me I just chose not to know him at that time. Sad huh!

Make a choice today and make the right choice

Be one person

Choose a person you are in every act and scene but better it

Be the person Jesus wants you to be

Be like Jesus

Christ likeness

A Lawyer

27 May 2012

During worship I felt prompted by Holy Spirit to write a post on my dear Spiritual Daddy’s word from Big Daddy of course (In reference to Abba Father = God). I am obviously not going to tell you details concerning structure of Pastor’s preaching. You and I both know I am quite capable of giving details but I will just highlight the main points. God is mightier than the mighty, stronger than the strongest and greater than our greatest. God is our advocate. After church when a few of us fellowshipped together. Pastor gave me instruction to write a post on what he ministered on but Holy Spirit beat him to it. (LOL).

Lawyers are career for those who are able to lie,  well so non-lawyers say/think (if you are a lawyer take it easy on me I am just saying what others are saying, want to take to me to court?) (Straight face).

As the name LAWyer is such a label we have no need to elaborate on the whereabouts. The law is studied in-depth by lawyers. We have legal problems we call up our lawyers. Lawyers, advocates, magistrates, judges, attorneys all are representation of different rankings.

When you hire a lawyer you hire the best lawyer because your lawyer represents you in court before the judge and defends your case. Pay your lawyer to represent you in court and he does not use his legal knowledge to help you, provide the court with evidence to back your case up then you rather not show up in court. The whole point of hiring a good lawyer bearing in mind the cost is to win your case. Even a weak person is aware he has to have a stronger force (previous post called FORCES) to back his case up or he will be facing serious charges, criminal offences, pay fines and might even land up in prison according to charges to fit  the crime.

Movie time….bring your Coke and popcorn along

{Just by the way…………

In my post called “secret Agents” (leticianaidoo.blogspot.com/2012/05/secret-agents.html)

I mentioned not being much of a couch potato and in “Demand for Ransom” I compose a post which gives you an impression I watch a lot of television. There is not enough time to watch television but when I am on holiday I make sure I watch anything to make me feel normal hehehehe.}

Note: PG 18 VL Parental guidance is advised. Only for children of God who are spiritually inclined, scenes containing violence against the enemy, language of the Spirit.

(Lights out)

Scene from a Movie:

Action movies or any movie for that matter which has policemen arresting any individual handcuffs them and simultaneously telling them “You have a right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney if you cannot afford an attorney one will be assigned/granted to you”

A typical scene, predictable! (Hands on hip, shaking head from side to side)

Analysis of scene:

When the enemy comes in your home which you know he has no right to. Tells you and your family he has a permit from the court of law. The enemy needs evidence which he presents to a judge and court of law that grants him a permit to enter you territory through your gates and your doors (previous post on gates and locks and another on doors and keys). Circumstances and habit can be evidence which permits the enemy to come in your home freely.

Uninvited guest has come;your home does not cater for people who fall under the category of darkness. Next time enemy comes.Take your permit you have (Bible) which gives you full authority to kick him out of your house. Throw the word at him by declaring to the atmosphere and your situation.

 You are handcuffed: your hands are taken and put around your back. Your hands are a symbol of surrender and total submission to God. You use your hands to reach out to people and hold on to God. You are unable to do any of these. Now you are in bondage and limited. Touch is one of your five senses, how do you touch God now that you are arrested. When your hands are forced into a different position your posture changes and great pain comes with enemy rough handling you.

How dare him (Angry face and steam coming out from ears and Nostrils)

Remember: make sure dance on his head, waving your arm freely as a symbol of victory.

Silence: when you are watchmen and you remain silent the enemy can come in with his troops and attack your clan, tribe or city. The enemy tries to silence our authority. I am witness of the enemy coming to silence your gifting and especially the prophetic voice.

Silence? NO. I will scream for help and warn the others. I will sound the alarm. Sound the trumpet.

Anything you say: anything you try and say is so critical because any words used in wrong context, ambiguities or puns can be use negatively against you. Your words and actions can be exposed in a court of law.

Speak Life to your situation. Satan got nothing on you, Speak to the dry bones in the valley of dry bones and they will live. (Ezekiel 37)

This is a story I remember my mother (Vinothi Naidoo) read to my cousins (Jachin Samuel Jainarain and Calin Jainarain). It has been a story her grandmother (her Paternal) has read to her.

An attorney will be assigned to you: enemy wants you to feel you cannot afford the best or you have no access to resources so you will settle for anything he brings before you.

You need to expect the best from God.

Do not accept 2^nd best.

What God gives is accurate, lovely and good

Its Story time:

Due to circumstances you permitted enemy to come into your home (like blog post on the Mind, permission granted Mr and Mrs Negativehttp://leticicanaidoo.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/mind.html).

Enemy holds in you in bondage, arrests you, takes you away and you have a court case scheduled. You cannot afford a lawyer but you phone a gentleman you know, a comforter, Holy Spirit and he intervenes on your behalf and does you a favour because enemy wants to give you a weak lawyer because enemy knows you cannot afford it. Holy Spirit reassures you you have nothing to worry; he has a few friends (Contacts). You think what the hek, nothing better than trying it out and see how it works, its either you take a lawyer from someone you know and trust than enemy’s lawyer. Holy Spirit calls up Jesus also known as Jehova Jireh our Provider who is a Top Notch person in finances and he pays the cost for a great lawyer for you.

Sitting in jail what else can you but sing a song for your weak spirit and to God above. As you sitting in jail, you get a visit from Holy Spirit who tells you “Tomorrow is your case. I just spoke to the police. Do not worry about tomorrow. I called my buddy Jesus who said he paid the price in full. Your lawyer will show up tomorrow when you NEED him to defend your case”.

(deep breath in and out)

Thank you Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit says “I know the…”

You are so worried you concentrate on yourself and ignore to a point he leaves you to see ensure everything is all set for tomorrow. If you only listened to Holy Spirit instead of your worried mind, Holy Spirit would of completed his sentence and said to you he also knows the Judge.

Next Day….

All dressed up for success. Everyone is early but your lawyer is not here early. Having a mini heart attack you sweating like there is no tomorrow. The judge is on time and his name is Judge God, enemy is seated and he has a lawyer named sin to back his case up and to go against you. In the Jury (Inspired by the words of a song sung by CECE WINANS called MERCY SAID NO bbmed to me by a friend) are Jesus, Holy Spirit, Life, Light, Darkness and Death. Your Lawyer walks in. you feel the Lawyer looks very familiar. “Where have I seen this merciful face before”, you think deeply. Your lawyer walks confidently towards you as SIN UNFORGIVENESS DISGRACE gets nervous. Holy Spirit intervened on your behalf and got you the best lawyer in town. You lawyer embraces you and introduces you as MERCY FORGIVENESS GRACE. A  fluorescent light bulb lights up in your head and you know MERCY has helped you many times prior to this.

Attorney God silenced the enemy and sin. Called me upfront.

I placed my hand on the Bible and my heart to and said Genesis 31 verse 53

The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.

Sin came to charge me with breaking the law, I stole too many souls he claimed, and enemy says he has proof. Shock occupied flowed through my body instead of blood. How enemy could know these things, was he watching and a waiting for me to slip up. Sin says he knows my mistakes and brings mistakes to take a stand in court. After mistakes mentioned all the things I did and said with interesting evidence I was unaware and aware of sin handcuffed me.

I felt like it was all over for me. Mercy said “No, I am not letting you go, Sin will not take you”.

Advocate God stepped in and said No!! Sin you have no hold on (Your name) Leticia Naidoo because it has been brought to my attention of your bad deeds. Enemy, I have proof that Jesus paid the price in full for Leticia. I also know your permit is not valid. Mercy says Yes advocate God, I have legal documentation from the King of Kings that shows Sin and the enemy had no right to do what they have done as Mercy hand Advocate God the Bible and presents to the court and Jury the evidence

Life and Death in the Jury stood face to face. Darkness tried to steal my heart away.

Mercy calls Jesus and Holy Spirit together with light and Life to back your case. As Jesus speaks love and comes as a friend, Holy Spirit our comforter, Light sheds light against darkness towards the evidence and Life speaks life over death.

Advocate God says: I find you Leticia Naidoo

My heart stops beating for a split second….

NOT GUILTY

Mercy said to sin and the enemy……..

2 Timothy 4 v 1

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom.

Justice came in and arrested Enemy and his group of people. Sin tried to escape but Victory caught Sin before he could leave.

Mercy says to the Jury……..

Isaiah 33v 22

For Yahweh is our Judge, Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us. (Isaiah 40v 23) Who brings princes to nothing, which makes the judges of the earth like meaningless? Simple: The Judge of judges, LORD of lords, KING of Kings, Yahweh, the I AM.

Scriptures:

Psalms 94 v 2

Duet 32 v 36

Amos 2v3

Song:

Mercy said NO by CECE WINANS.I am addicted to the song because of the Lyrics.

Here are the Lyrics….

http://www.metrolyrics.com/mercy-said-no-lyrics-cece-winans.html

I was just a child when I felt the Savior leadingI was drawn to what I could not understandAnd for the cause of Christ I have spent my days believingThat what He'd have me be is who I am
As I've come to see the weaker side of meI realized His grace is what I'll needWhen sin demanded justice for my soul
Mercy said noI'm not going to let you goI'm not going to let you slip awayYou don't have to be afraid
Mercy said noSin will never take controlLife and death stood face to faceDarkness tried to steal my heart awayThank You Jesus, mercy said no
For God so loved the world that He sent His son to save usFrom the Cross, He built a bridge to set us freeOh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that ragesAnd makes His sacrifice so hard to see
As midnight fell on Crucifixion DayThe light of hope seemed oh so far awayAs evil tried to stop redemption's flow
Mercy said noI'm not going to let you goI'm not going to let you slip awayYou don't have to be afraid
Mercy said noSin will never take controlLife and death stood face to faceDarkness tried to steal my heart awayThank You Jesus, mercy said no
And now when Heaven looks at meIt's through the blood of JesusReminding me of one day long ago
Mercy said noI'm not going to let you goI'm not going to let you slip awayYou don't have to be afraid
Mercy said noSin will never take controlLife and death stood face to faceDarkness tried to steal my heart awayThank You Jesus, mercy said no
Mercy said no

 Remember:

God is mightier than the mightiest even than the mightiest army or kingdom ever to exist, stronger than the strongest even than Samson wiser than the wisest person even than Solomon, greater than the greatest wonders of the Earth or greatest me or women.

God is our advocate and Judge, God is the World’s greatest

 SO DON NOT TALK TO ME>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TALK TO MY LAWYER

The demand for Ransom

7^th May 2012

I am not going to explain who Donovan Munsamy also known as Brandon is to me. After being mentioned in two blog posts you should know him to be my Mentor/Spiritual brother by now. We chatted on Sunday and he inspired me to write a post on the demand and then about ransom so that brings me to my title THE DEMAND FOR RANSOM. I was still working on this post and Pragasen Pillay lead worship in Chatsworth on Sunday 13 May 2012 (Mother’s Day) and mentioned DEMAND. That is not all my Spiritual Daddy Pastor Trevor Dolan ministered and confirmed this blog and two others. God is amazing!

What is a demand?

It is related to a command. It is a statement. It has authority and dominion. You are not asking but telling. There no MANNER VOCABULARY involved in this demanding sentence because it has exclamation marks!

Scenario One:

At a restaurant you get poor service from your clumsy, forgetful, young waitress. Let’s give her a name. What shall we call her? (Put on my or our thinking cap {LOL}). How about Sarah. Sarah makes you wait awhile before she brings your order to you. As you wait your tummy begins singing Opera converting into a hungry beast. The smells of food travel from the kitchen into your nasal cavity and affect the Opera singers and starving beasts trapped in pit of your stomach. The other waitresses and waiters are on the roll. When they pass you the smell hits you and you get more upset, the steam also hits your face and you feel hot headed. A plan of action is needed but your brain requires energy, energy comes from food and this waitress has not brought it to you. The little energy you have you try and use to devise a master plan BUT distractions from fast waiters/waitresses comes and those opera singers and starving beast start acting up once again. Reminds me off Jacob and Esau in the Bible and that Bowl of Soup. History will not repeat itself; there are sauces on the Table.

Sarah smiles and gives you your order; all your plots and plans fade away as the steam evaporates. The little energy you have left is used to reach towards utensils and a platter. Smiling at Sarah you smile and look at your meal about to devour it as she stands beside you to ensure all is well. You look properly at your meal, and you are not surprised, you where brought a wrong order.

This is it, you release hungry beasts and opera singers and your appetite is now lost. Never again will you eat at this restaurant. You Demand to see the manager because you know you are right, in fact you have a right to a good service on time no matter what circumstances. When you see the manager, Sarah is scared because her manager is a higher ranking than her; she may lose her job or get a warning.

Now you understand the term DEMAND. Let’s look at Ransom.

Any action movie has a scene where someone is kidnapped and held hostage by obviously bad guys, if they were good they will not take a person and keep them safe or let alone kidnap. Imagine a few people take you somewhere and treat you like gold and after they are done leave you back in your home, safe and sound, how we wish. Just a few random thoughts thrown at you from my imaginative mind.

As I was saying to you. In most cases people who are kidnapped are either people in power, rich family or friends.  The bad guys are certain they will get a big amount of cash in small period of time if they get somebody kidnaped from a rich family. They will not kidnap a beggar from a street corner or a middle class individual; they rather join these individuals in their jobs or daily routines. Not worthy kidnapping a middle class/ Poor person all because these people have no big cash on hand.  The enemy calls the victim’s family with their voice exposed or a special device changing their voices into a voice from scary movie. (Chuckling away). They tell the family what we see happen in any movie this scene occurs in, “BRING THE _______ (RANSOM) MONEY TO ______LOCATION AT _____ TIME ON THE DOT, COME ALONE AND DO NOT TELL THE COPS OR WE WILL HURT _________”. The bad guy takes the victim near the mobile  for them to scream through a dirty looking piece of dusting furniture or washing car cloth tied around their mouth, EEEEWWW!!!!. The victim will try and have a lengthy conversation with their family member as if the bad guys are lending free minutes. The victim might say do not come it is a trap and the bad guys cut the call.  The victim’s family get police involved and bad guys find out, if bad guys do not find out, WHERES THE MOVIE? WHERE IS THE ACTION?

It is predictable because in a scary movie I know somebody is going to slip and twist their ankle and throughout the whole movie they will be limping and running away from their killer with help from someone else who will try to help them balance and be their eyes and not forgetting saying “HE IS COMING, FASTER”. The individual limping will say “LEAVE ME”. The helper will say I am not leaving you.  At the end the one limping survives. They need to change it around now.

Really, (Shaking head from side to side).

What did I tell you??????? PREDICTABLE!!!!!!!

Scenario Two:

(Inspired to use the name when I entered and boring Lecture in Lecture 7 UKZN Edgewood for language and Literacy 320 and found this on the smart bored, I smiled to myself to know God wanted me to use this in this post)

There is a man called SINBAD (Not his name SIN_BAD) also known as Satan and he Kidnaps you because he hears you have big inheritance from ABRAHAM. Sinbad did his homework and found out you are a prince and princess and your father is the King of the world. Sinbad knew a smart move is to kidnap you. Sinbad calls your Father. Abba Father

also known as God answers and (Such a Glory as I type this part to you) send Ransom as promised.

ABBA Father sends JESUS and TWO STICKS. Jesus nailed to the cross is what Father sends to Sinbad. As sung by Chris Tomlin, JESUS MESSIAH; a part of the Lyrics there is a line that goes “THE RANSOME FROM HEAVEN”. Whom the son sets free is free indeed.

you are now free

You can demand wisdom, demand the anointing. Demand for it with authority because you have the right to demand for it. Ask like it is yours, have faith and call what is not as if it is.
