I am amazed at all he teaches me these days....

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.....

Hello my dear dear friends - God is so good, ALL the TIME - I am simply blown away by all that he teaches me these days.....one very profound thing, that I just realized the other day, is that truly God sees the heart, the motivations, whereas people only see the actions, yet they will give the action a spin of where they are in their lives, what they own experiences have been, and not just objectively look at your actions. God will grow you into mature children of God, in his time - meaning, that we will be brother's and sisters to Christ, once we have learnt what we were meant to learn here on earth - and this is simply, to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. 

You might remember, that this January I got a tattoo saying exactly that - I used the Bible verse of Proverbs, that says the same thing: Proverbs 3:5-6 - once we have learnt that, he will take us to adventures, you could never ever have dreamt up yourself - he will challenge you, because a lot of what he is going to ask you to do, is very controversial to today's society.....but if you trust him with all your heart, obey his command at all times, he will truly lift you up on wings like eagles.

I cannot talk about some of the things he has asked me to do......but let me assure you, more often than not, I am tempted to say: Oh no, God, I can't do that.....what will my neighbour or the people around me think - but then, when I choose to obey, he lifts me up on wings like eagles - today I fear neither reproach nor criticism of my fellowman anymore, because I know, he has been an outcast in his time - the Pharisees didn't like his teaching, since it was extremely radical and didn't line up with what they were teaching. Well, I can assure you, that was true then, as much as it is true today - but
a) he will protect your integrity, he will sanctify you every step of the way, and
b) he will use you mightily (John 14:12) - for we are called to do the same things that Jesus did, and even greater things.

He literally sends me places, I had not planned to go, just because there is someone, that he might want to touch, reach through me. And remember, he sat with the tax payers, the sinners of all categories - as he came to save the lost - even Paul says in his letter to the Corinthians, that when he was with the gentiles, he found common ground, to interact with them, so that they could relate. I find this exceedingly true to where he leads me.....especially regarding my tattoos - it's so easy to say something encouraging to someone having a tattoo, when you have one yourself, and they will have a much easier time, to believe, you really mean it.

Often God reveals insight regarding the people I encounter, sometimes he doesn't but I know, whatever it is, he will put the words into my mouth, that these people need to hear. He never leaves me stranded and I am most grateful, for being used this way - that all that I do, would bring Glory to his name, as this is what I want to do every day of my life - be his instrument of Love, Grace and Mercy!!! And he surely has granted me this desire of my heart.

I am praying, my friends, that you would let him use you like that - the blessings, that come with being obedient at the onset, are tremendous, mind you I am not doing it for the blessings, I am doing it, because I cannot be out of his will anymore, but I don't mind to receive them - and it saves us a tremendous amount of tears, suffering and pain, if we obey immediately. He is God Almighty and he will never ever let go of any of his children.....he can't stop loving us, just like #JoshGroban sings in his song of his latest CD 'All that Echoes': Happy in My Heartache - He can't stop loving you, that's his nature, that's who he was, who he is, and who he will be for eternity.

May your day be blessed, and may you fully understand, who you are in him: A Victor for Christ, A Warrior for the Kingdom, A Knight in Shining Armour for the Oppressed, A Deliverer of Peace, Love, Joy and Grace - He has a huge plan for you - embrace it today, and allow God to walk this path with you - you will be blown away, by the great things, he can do through you!!!

In the Powerful Name of Jesus Christ, I pray - 
Amen

Are you sleeping with the Enemy?

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.....

Hello again, my friends, those of you who are friends with me on Facebook (I call it Faithbook - some of my friends call what I post on Facebook, my Facebook Ministry) - have already read the title and what I have to say about this.....

Here it is:

Are you sleeping with the Enemy??? Meaning the Enemy of your Soul??? For when you allow Doubt and Fear to divert  you from the path you're on, where you know, God is leading you - when you can almost touch forever, and when you are fulfilled in what you are doing, but if you're not yet exactly where you want to be..... - don't give up believing - it is just around the next bend....

The assault of the enemy, bombarding us with fears and doubts, is strongest, when we're just about to FINALLY break through the mist of dawn, to see the bright Sonshine upon our lives. Please my friends, trust me, I have been there......and by the Grace of God have been able to push through.

Recent happenings again have shown me, that it's truly according to one's faith that it is given unto them. Believe in the promises in the Bible, that you are called to be what God created you to be. Nothing more, but also nothing less - and being what God created you to be, is the most brilliant place to be - you want to know why??? Because he doesn't expect you to be perfect, just to be, who he created to be, and to listen and obey to his calling, and he will do the rest. If he calls you, he will make sure you succeed. No doubt about that.

He thinks you are to die for, and if you had been the only person on Earth, when he sent Jesus down to earth, to die for your sins, he still would have done it. Don't listen to gossip or other people's opinion, rest in the arms of Jesus, knowing that he loves you more, that he went to the cross willingly for you. That's how much he loves you and how much he wants to enter into a meaningful relationship with you. Nothing compares to being in this life giving relationship. Trust him with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3;5-6) - delight yourself in him, and he will give you the desire of your heart (Psalm 37:4).

God created you in his image, so don't shrink back and consider yourself unworthy of being loved, promoted, successful in all your ways - You are his Masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10) - We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). Never ever forget that.

With this I close today and wish you an amazing Saturday - the Sun is out and the snow sparkles like millions of diamonds - my friends, we are so rich in his riches, if we only let go of the standards of the world, and consider us rich, because we can enjoy nature, see the beauty around us, have people in our lives, that love us, and not look at our bank accounts and the fame regarding our outward life. Let's keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, and receive all the blessings he has for us, for he longs to give us Life everlasting and he wants to give it to us more abundantly. Let's make a collective decision, to receive all he has prepared for us - let's step into Heaven here on earth and not believe the lies of the devil of poverty, sickness and despair.

God is bigger than any of the mountains, and Jesus even said, that if we had faith the size of a mustard seed, we could tell the mountain in front of us, to move and it would move. Let's speak truth and life into the lives of the people in our lives, encourage and comfort those in need. But most of all, let's decide, to never again sleep with the enemy!!!

In the powerful name of Jesus Christ I pray,

Amen
