`Random thoughts ranging in my head and flowing from the depths of my heart

Do you not find it odd how we might end up being close friends with ones we least expected and sometimes find it hard to talk to certain friends about our situations which seem to bug us. We meet people from the opposite sex that hurt us and teach us lessons and makes us appreciate someone better that comes along. We fall in love, and out of love, we grow in love and that very same love which grew and blossomed SOMETIMES eventually shrivels and dries up. In other instances it remains strong and steadfast.

These are a part of our Victorious Journey called life. When we realize our lives are not being lived only for ourselves but we live for Christ and Christ alone then our Journey takes a different route and we appreciate the humps and bumps of our journey through time into our Destiny, Gods will for our lives.

When you read my posts I want you to ask yourself a few questions regarding what’s going on behind the scenes. What really causes me to be brave enough to let people know what I feel, thinks, see, want and desire?

What did I experience to make me write this in a blog post?

I also want you to understand I also have my fair share of Drama, suffering and backstabbing.

There are moments of throwing in the towel and gathering the courage to say to people and God “I GIVE UP NOW! I THINK I HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH!!!”

I also had moments where I was not worthy of favour, opportunity, liberty, breakthrough and God divinely intervening on my behalf.

YES! I was gossiped to, with and about.

I have cried so much I swallowed my tears, lost my appetite, laughed so hard I felt I was  about to explode.

I have met bipolar people, had low self-esteem, had broken promises but I still stand tall.

All because I have a God that’s promises has never failed me.

 He is not man that he will lie. The word of God says he will not allow your foot to slip and he will never leave nor forsake you. I like how David says “I HAVE BEEN YOUNG AND OLD AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN”

God has ordered the footsteps of the righteous.

He has allowed angels to take charge of you.

 

You are the apple of his eye        

A written reflection on my thoughts and life in December 2011

24^th December 2011

My hand is so sore, each time I bent my wrist it was even sore. This inspired me, weird you might think because how can pain inspire someone. Many people get inspired by pain and through suffering people like David who wrote the psalms, Job and Victor Frankyl, held a prisoner in the Nazi concentration camp by Adolf Hitler. Victor Frankyl discovered some of the greatest theories through his suffering.

 

When we are walking tall all the time we are perfectly fine because we have adapted to an upright position  but when our backbone has been bent or broken it then becomes very difficult for you to stand up straight again and when you are bent over again it hurts even more. Like Salt in your wounds or you unintentionally biting your lips and you do it again but deeper. It hurts so bad but so what when it heals you appreciate you being healed.

28^th December 2011

When it comes to the last three months of the year I generally reflect on the year. Being so grateful to God for his favour and also looking at my mistakes and thinking was I insane or what, okay maybe a little insane (Laughing). I begin to get upset and I remind myself “I AM HUMAN”. Is this my excuse or my reason every time I sin?

 

I know no one is perfect but God and I know the flesh can cause you to sin if you allow it to. The flesh must decrease in order for the Spirit man to increase. The factors which increase the Spirit is reading you book of instructions, praying more for others than your own needs, worshiping in Gods throne (Throne room Worship) which equals to an intimate relationship with the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).

Forces

23 April 2012

Forces shape our lives every day, directly and indirectly.  What are forces? In Physics Forces are defined as a push or a pull in a certain direction be it North, south, east or west or up and down. We experience forces in every area of our lives; physically we experience a gravitational force towards the Earth so we are not afloat like in space. Emotionally situations determine how we feel and react. Are you an up and down person because of the way you feel. One minute you are up and next you are down or are it one day positive and another negative. Is depression a force tugging on you, bringing you obviously down. To me, in my opinion, I am just telling you how I feel about it. It is like being neither hot or cold which is equal to being Luke warm and you know what Revelations 3V16 says about being Luke warm. If you do not please feel free to read your manual, the scary part is God spitting you out.

It can be derived that there exists positive and negative forces and depression is an example of a negative force. If this be the case then what is justified to be positives forces which can shape us positively? Anything which is accurate, good, gentle and off God. Spending time in Gods chambers, at his feet, eating of his word and drinking his wine. These positive forces allow your feet to be placed on higher ground and on the ROCK (JESUS). These Positive forces will draw you to God like a Magnet. These Positive Forces will push you forward; will make you the head, these positive forces will take you higher.

I want to paint two pictures to you by using words and if you would allow your mind and be relaxed for just a moment to imagine the following two scenes:

Scene One:

There is clay in your hand and it is not pretty because it’s a clump of clay with no particular shape. In order for it to be useful to us by a vase, an ornament or clay pots we need to shape and mould clay. To shape the clay into something useful we need to apply forces towards the clay.

Situations shape and mould us. We are but clay in the Potters hand (GOD) and God moulds us into something useful. At first we are just a clump of clay, then we are moulded, we are hollow, then God fills us until we run over, with living waters and the oil of Gladness. Enlarge your territory so you can contain what God wants to give you. Open the folds of your tents to the North, South, East and West.

Scene Two:

You are running a race and there’s is a friend who helps you buy pulling you forward, a team member from another team sees this and tries to pull you backwards.

In which direction will you go? Forward or Backwards?

Allow me answer the question for you. It all depends on the strength of the forces, whichever is stronger you will go in that direction.

Make sure you are cemented in Christ so when the enemy comes in you will not be moved by those negative forces.

Part 4: Stairs and Ladders

Physically:

Stairs in building and homes, stairs outside leading to homes and buildings. Moving stairs are called escalators found in malls. Ladders are used for those hands on kid off jobs, more a handy man’s/woman’s job (trying not to be sexists, it can be sensitive you know {smirk on my face})  like painting house, walls and roofs, putting aerials, changing globes and I think I made you realise why there is a need for a ladder. Children playing on a jungle gym will climb a ladder, a game that has ladders, be it video games or board games, a ladder to climb a slide at a pool (Ushaka Marine World). We can agree with a statement that stairs and ladders work two ways that is you can go up and down.

Spiritually:

Stairs and ladders can lead us to the throne rooms of God which is situated in the Heavens. The trick is to have the strength necessary to climb the stairs. There is a bar if you are afraid of heights called trust and faith. To climb a ladder you are not allowed to look down at your past. You are required not to carry your burdens but cast it to Jesus so your shoulders are light.  You must also focus above on God; make Jesus the centre of it all. Make sure you are going up and never down.

Part 3 :Bridges

Physically:

 There are bridges we drive on and bridges we cross to get from one area to another. Bridges remind me of how scary it was crossing a bridge at Croc world where hungry man eating crocodiles lingered below. I went in high School (Welbedene Secondary School) must have been in grade ten. My colleagues so excited to cross a bridge they all rushed at once and we exceeded the maximum number of people on the bridge. The fear that gripped me when I am afraid of heights and to look down to see these Crocodiles circling beneath you waiting for you to be their extra meal for the day.

Spiritually:

In life we are sometimes fooled by crossing a bridge and expecting better but we receive less. In life we need to know which bridges to burn and which bridges to cross.

 I Remember holding on so tightly to the ropes on one side. I felt if I hold on tightly it would be safer for me if the bridge snapped.


 Thankfully we had no problems with the wooden bridge snapping and a Man (White-Not being racist or bias to any social groups {giggling}) came in and helped us get to safe ground.

 How many times in your life has the burdens of life came in and put pressure on your bridge?

How many times have you felt your whole life collapsing down?

How many times have you felt Scavengers waiting for you to die or slip up so they can devour you and rip you apart?

How many times have you held on so tightly, expecting the worst to occur any moment now?

BUT

HOW MANY TIMES DID JESUS COME THROUGH FOR YOU?

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HELD ON SO TIGHTLY TO THE ROPE BUT THEN REALIZED IT WAS THE SAVIOURS NAIL SCARED HANDS?

Doors and keys, gates and locks, bridges, stairs and ladders Part 2: Gates and Locks

gate to a home

Physically:

Around a church, a castle or a house is a gate which you have to pass to get into an area. There are walls around a house and a gate you have to pass to be in a certain space belonging to someone. At a gate there is someone who needs to give you authorization to enter the premises. These people are referred to as Gatekeepers. We have security


at gates like in buildings, homes, residents or campuses. At Campus we have student cards as identification, in residential areas you have to notify the gatekeeper so he allows your guests in; some people have remotes to gates, intercoms or discs to swipe you in.

Spiritually:

Wooden Gate

God has given you an invite to come into his house, he has notified the gate keepers who are the Angels of God and he has left the Gate opened. When you talk on the intercom he recognizes your voice because he loves you but when God comes to visit you you not only closed the gates to your inhabitants but you locked the gate. When God spoke in the intercom for you to let him in but you ignored him because you never realize the frequency in his voice. You never recognize his voice not because Gods voice has changed. Come on! Kings and Queens, This is THE UNCHANGEABLE GOD we speaking of here. The reason is you chose not to hear Gods voice all the time so you are at a point where you cannot recall your relationship or shall I say connection with the man who is speaking in the intercom. Listen to the whispers of the spirit so you will hear the voice of God and follow his commands.

Doors and keys, gates and locks, bridges, stairs and ladders-Part One Doors and Keys

Doors and keys, gates and locks, bridges, stairs and ladders might be different in ways like material but have one factor in common….they all are a point of newness, new opportunities, higher dimension, moving into new areas and new environments.

doors And keys

Double doors, single doors, wooden doors, aluminium doors, stable doors.

Big keys, small keys, keys for buildings, keys for rooms, keys for volts, keys to the heart

Physically

How many times have you forgotten your set of house keys?

Stranded outside! Standing in front of the door staring at it in hope it will open. It will not open because you do not have the keys. You can turn blue in your face and use all words in a dictionary and words like OPEN SESAME. It still won’t work because you DO NOT POSSESS THE KEYS. You can also try to use your car keys, office keys and neighbours keys, maybe even a loved one’s keys, all the keys they have and it still won’t open your house door. Those keys are not made or meant for your door. You can try but it will break, won’t fit and you are wasting your time. You wait until a family member comes home, use the keys to open the door, be it a sliding door, stable door, wooden door but it opens to a home. You move from being outside into a totally different environment. You might have plants inside but there are no rooms, furniture or utensils outside. It is different.

Spiritually

God has given us a key which is flexible. It can open all types of doors, all sizes. All you have to do is acknowledge the key. God is at the door to your heart and he knocks but there is no answer. Make sure the door of your heart is open so Christ can come in. Welcome him in your heart so he can tabernacle in your heart. Do not keep the door open to negativity (Previous blog post on the MIND) or allow the enemy in. He will try to come in with Sheep’s clothing.
