The most astounding pentecostal weekend.....

Embrace your Destiny and walk in his grace - he is your strength when you are weak, he lifts you up when you can't reach.....

Speechless, to say the least......this has been a chaotic weekend on many many levels, but incredibly awesome on other levels......

When I realized, what weekend this last weekend was from a spiritual and christian point of view, I knew that God was up to something amazing - and he has blessed me with revelations galore, deeper understanding of life and life's truth......I know today that he loves me in a very personal way - he is my lover, my beloved and very best friend.....nothing was lost, all my experiences this lifetime have amounted to something good - he has shown me heaven more than once - and  now he has given  me the key to heaven in the hear and now - now I know that I can go there anytime I want and need, and I can stay there for as long as I need and want, in order to live the life he wants me to live. I am still here on earth, more firmly rooted with both feet on the ground, than ever before, but he has given me wings to fly, renewed my mind, changed my point of view.....transformed my thinking patterns......#fromglory2glory!!!

Life will always be life here on earth, there will always be challenges, but I, more than ever before, know that I can find refuge in his arms, when I need to and I am more than welcome to be with him.....but more importantly: I finally realized the most amazing truth, and that is, that he is always with me - I can feel his presence with me ALL the time - when I am stressed, he is near, to lift me up again, when I am happy he is there, to rejoice with me. And when I call upon him for help in times of trouble, he is there and he works behind the scenes, to make things right for me.

Thankfully yesterday, he has blessed me with his sustaining presence at a time, where I needed to stay centred and calm - and I could do it - every day he teaches me, that it is I that need to change, when I am finding myself in adversity - the life around me is just a reflection of who I am at this particular time......and over time, he has replaced the critical lenses with grace filled ones......and he is still at work.

I know, when I feel judged, it's because I am still not all void of any judgment yet.....when I feel the need to justify myself before others, I am still trying to please people rather than pleasing him, who created me..... - I am learning and I am still a work in progress - the good news is: I am not perfect, but I am better than I was last year - and I am FORGIVEN.....and the things where I fall short of his glory, are the things he is refining inside of me, to mould me into his likeness, one step at a time.

When I was playing harp a couple of days ago......I was being criticized for an area in my life, where I am less than perfect.....it was then, that his spirit whispered in my ear, don't get stressed out, my child, you are forgiven - I love you just the way you are.....and I am not going to let go of you because of your failures.....I believe in you....I know you'll finish the race strong, for you are obedient to my calling and no one will be able to disgrace you.

Isn't this just amazing??? A few other things he has taught me over the last couple of months - I will talk about that at a later blog, as I have no idea, how to explain these things just yet, so I need his guidance to show me, when and how to address it, but stay tuned, it's truly liberating.

One little tidbit of information here: In the 10 commandments, God told Moses, that we are not to use his name in vain - it has been understood as a reprimand and a restrictive rule - God revealed to me not too long ago, that it was meant as a promise, that we will never ever use his name in vain.....when ever we call on him, he is there. The institution church has brought us a set of tremendous rules, where God intended promises and a message of love. 

My dear friends, I know I am stretching a few parameters here.....but as you all know, I have surrendered my life fully to Christ (I can not wait to meet him face to face, when he comes to claim me as his own) - and all I do, is to bring Glory to his name alone. It's not about me, it's about him - and since this is my heart's desire, I am sharing in his glory - and I am loving it.

Obedience breeds blessings - and I am not obedient for sake of the blessings - I am obedient to his calling because he has transformed me from glory to glory all my life - and most profoundly over the last 2 years - but to be very very honest, I absolutely appreciate receiving his blessings.

Thank you, Daddy, lover of my soul, for your guidance.....thank you for loving me through my iniquities, for forgiving me at all times - he knows, that when I fail, it's not because I don't want to do it right, it's because I am human..... - I am forgiven in Christ, this is how I am sanctified and in right standing with God - I can never ever merit his grace.....he bestows it on me in the moment I need it the most (when I fail him or those around me) and his grace is always sufficient for me.

Get up and be free, my friends, let's live in the presence of Christ resurrected and le's not stay in this old pattern, of Jesus crucified. God wants to bless you with a life more abundantly - receive it!!!

Amen
