Heya this iS jUSt somEthiNg aboUt how we SuFfer to DevelOp Character
*Kites FLy higher against the Wind
* The Eagle , The only obstacle an Eagle has in flying faster is the air particles causing resistance. However if you were to put an Eagle in a vacuum (Not a 'HOOVer' vaccum but a place where there are no particles) the Eagle could not fly, as it is by the very existence of the Particles that the Eagle can fly in the first place. Just as the Air possessed an Obstacle with an Eagle, it also allowed the Eagle to reach its potential of flying, so too the Obstacles in our life will enable us to Fly and BecoMe stroNger.
*'To see the rainbow, you must first endure the RAIN' - Dolly Parton
*Also the story of the Caterpillar A Young girl noticed a caccoon on one of the leaves near her house, interested in the object she took it home and took care of it, after a while, she noticed that the Caccoon began to crack, and the butterfly was emerging. However, it seemed to the little girl that the Butterfly was struggling, she decided to help the butterfly so she cut out the caccoon and let the Butterfly come out. what she discovered was a Butterfly with a Fat Body and shrimpy wings, A butterfly who could never fly and was only good for crawling around, it was never able to reach its potential, because it wasn't fully exposed to the obstacle of coming out of the Caccoon. When a butterfly breaks out of the caccoon, it pushes the liquid from its centre into its wings, developing the wings so it can fly. Sometimes we think obstacles in our life are too impossible so we give up But through Obstacles and suffering, preserverence is produced and character and then Hope, God uses all things to bring him Glory. Whenever your in a position of suffering or in an obstacle, train yourself to think of what God is developin in your character rather than losing hope and coming out with Shrimpy Wings and a Fat Bum.

Like Woah!... reading those guys, ish really awesome... I got a revelation from the movie drumline it's old i know but yeh i was watching it the other day.... and i got That, in order to lead, you must first learn to follow. Welz, I've been learning about Authority and Submission and the things ima learning has change my perspective on that topics.... Did you know that God's Work issue from His throne; God's Throne is established upon authority. And Nothing is greater than authority in the universe, nothing can surpass it. For this reason, If we want to serve God, we must know God's Authority.. and to know God's authority we must know God himself as...God's power only repersents God's work; God's Authority repersents God Himself! Learning about authority and submission has taught me to submit to authority even if i don't like it as much or even the person who has the authority, this include church,home,school or even the government... We should submit to the authority of rulers, officers, elder,teachers and even our parents... ima not saying that you should always do what they say, cause at times they might be wrong but learn to submit. As Say and Submit are two totally different words... But you getz, Ryt? As all authority comes from God himself...So we do not submit to the person who has the authority, then we are not submitting to God himself. It is imperative that an authority represents God properly. If we are wrong, we should confess that we are wrong; we should never drag God into our mistake. If we do we will bring judgment upon ourselves. Authority is based on separation. Without Separation there is no authority. The higher the authority stands, the greater is the separation. Such as God is the Highest authority, therefore he exercises the greatest separation. We all have to learn to separate ourselves from others in unholy things. We should willingly and gladly pursue after deeper separations - separation from unholiness. Doesn't mean that we should separate oursleves from God's children through self - proclaimed Holiness. yhe more we are sanctified and the more we are restricted by God and Bound under his authority, the more we can be an authority. An authority is a servant of God. I think i blab'n on so much so i'll leave it there. but yeh... To have authority, you must first learn how to submit. oh there are heaps of Scriptures/verses on authority and submission, so if you want you can look them up or ask me what they are. And if i'm wrong in anything i've said please don't hesitate to correct me..

Every time you criticize someone, you condemn yourself "IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE" Judgmental criticism of others is a well-known way of escaping detection in your own crimes and misdemeanors. (Romans 2:1 The Message)

I've shared dis w/ d prayer team already, but i tink its sumfin reeli important 4 every1 2 kno.. coz whether i hand u a weekly prayer schedule or not, we shud all b doin our part in prayer... Der r dais wen u juz dun feel lyk doin it, but dis is sum stuff 2 reeli get u goin. It's such a vital part of ur day [prayer] Prayer creates the atmosphere for God himself to dwell.. though prayer cannot be ssen, it affects eternity. When you pray, you're investing in something that's eternal Prayer breathes the spirit of intercesion in you.. that means YOU will be the one the Lord trusts to birth from what is in the spirit to the natural. Prayer isn't about giving God a shopping list.. its about what's on his heart. Consider him first in prayer, n he'll begin to put things in ur heart to pray for, according to his will' We are better off praying the things on God's heart rather than our own, and when u do this, u begin to kno wats on God's heart.Prayer means time , but u juz hav 2 set urself in a position 2 hear the whispers of God. Then God will respond to us, answering the things in our hearts AUSTOMATICALLY, coz what his heart beats for MUST be the same beat of our own heartsKeep askin 4 god's heartbeat.. yearn 2 kno wat it beats 4.. It onli takes ONE to inspire and challenge in d realm of praer. "You must be stretching everyday, coz if ur not stretching, ur shrinking" --Thanks Ate Babes

dis is sumfin i got in an e-mail a while ago.. [dating] oOoOoO "everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, to have a deep, soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. but God says, "no, not until you are satisfied and fulfilled and content with living loved by Me alone. i love you, My child, and until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. you will never be united with another until you are united with Me, exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or longings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing, one that you can't imagine. I want you to have the BEST. please allow Me to bring it to you. you just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. keep experiencing that satisfaction knowing that I am. keep learning and listening to the things I tell you; you must wait. don't be anxious. don't worry. don't look around at the things others have gotten or that I've given them. don't look at the things you THINK you want. you just keep looking off and away up to Me, or you'll miss what I want to show you. and then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would ever dream. you see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready (I am working even this minute to have both of you ready at the same time), until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me and is thus perfect love.
and dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection and love that I offer you with Myself. know I love you utterly. I am God Almighty. believe and be satisfied."

We all go through situations where we feel lyk we can't handle it or its juz 2 much we can tayk.
But God's given me a revelation that, IF GOD BRINGS YOU TO IT, HE WILL BRING YOU THROUGH IT. He's ur creator ryt? so he knoz every little detail about u.. He knoz ur capabilities n wat ur able to handle. And as a father who genuinely loves us, he won't let us go through situations that we won't be able 2 get thru-with his help ofcourse. Sometimes we make the mistake of blaming God wen things seem wrong, but its reeli a tym 2 trust him n kno dat he's gna get us thru. God's more interested in ur CHARACTER than ur COMFORT. He loves us enuff not 2 let us stay d way we are. If u wna b more lyk him, ur gna hav 2 let him strecth you. n Joyce Meyer once sed, "If you're going THROUGH something, then eventually you're going to get OUT of it!!" so yeh.. no matta wat u may b goin thru, God's got u in his hands. Dun giv up coz u'll get thru. He made u n knoz dat u can.

I was readin in Leviticus-d old Testament n I must admit sumtymz its hard 2 keep ur mind on track coz it all sounds d saym.. but, if God put it in d Bible, den der must b a reason its der n must hav major significance.. so I was readin tryin 2 find a Word God had 4 meeh within dat chapter. n heres sumfin i found..
Leviticus17:11-"For the LIFE of a creature is in the BLOOD and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for ones life" Back then, animal sacrifices had to be made for atonement of sin. oxen, n bulls n ramz n stuff..It's blood was a pleasing aroma to God. People were forbidden to eat blood because as it says in Leviticus 17:11, a creatures LIFE is in the blood. As an ULTIMATE sacrifice, God sent the 'Lamb' of God- Jesus.. Jesus lived a life that was perfect, sinless, blameless. So when we ask for forgiveness, his blood covers our sin, n replaced with all our guilt and shame is the blood of Jesus. In His BLOOD is his LIFE which was perect.. so when God looks at us, that's how he sees us.. covered in LIFE that is righteous in his sight.

just wanted to add- mary quoted someone when they said "if God brings to it, He'll bring you through it" i also learned that... God doesn't just want you to GO through it, but He wants you to GROW through it" Amen! it's simple but life-changing.... it can totally change your perspective of what you're going through....
so if you're in the middle of a storm.. ask God, what does he want you to grow into as a result of it??
