Time for a wake up call

This is a bit of a rant as well as a much needed reality check for every single person alive. I am so sick and tired of people (especially Christians) being incredibly fake and two faced. So many people have their heads up in the clouds and live in their own bubble world. Everyone you say and do has the potential to hurt or help someone.

Too many people at church are consumed with their own lives, they stay in thei cliques and groups and dont want to meet and make friends with someone new and different from them. Not what its about! Even so called friends are back stabbing and gossiping about their friends behind their backs or excluding people from gatherings and so forth. I have had enough and refuse to be apart of it. THe thing is though these people do not realise they are doing it and think that its fine and that they are great people following God.

God wants us to love eachother no matter what. Love everyone's differences and uniqueness. Be kind and step out of your comfort zone. Stop pretending and start living. I know people who need to hear this who think that they dont. Enough is enough and frankly Im sure God is tired of it too. Only time will tell. Get of your high horses humble yourself before the Lord and do his will. Make friends with someone new and different. You might find them weird and strange but they mind think you are too. Everyone is created by God and loved by God. It is time that we do the same.Do unto others what you wish to be done to you.Stop being humans of the world and be humans that belong to God Love one another with all your hearts and souls.

Michael Jackson

The world has lost another legacy that will live on forever. Michael Jackson was a true inspiration and strived for peace to exist in the world. He was the best entertainer the world has ever seen and a truly beautiful soul. I hope he is up in heaven moonwalking.My passion for dancing ignited when his music come one, I see so much of myself in him and grew up listening to his music. His death affected me more so than I thought. Its like Steve irwin dying all over again. A shock to the world. I have finally accepted who I am and am content in myself. God comes to you and answers prayer in the strangest ways. Grief has consumed me but I am celebrating his life. MJ is now at peace and his tormented soul hopefully healed. He believed in Jesus and God and strived to live like Jesus. This showed in his love for children and his giving. Hundreds of millions were given to charity.
Any dancer and musician would be sharing the same feelings around the world. I hope that we can all come together and strive for what MJ did. Loving eachother to try and make peace in the world and showing the glory of God in every way that we live. He was a musical genius, both with writing lyrics and composing music, and short films(aka music videos) choreographing and everything came together in a magnificant way. He said all this came from God, I dance for God and know what he means by that. A truly gifted and talented man who was a boy at heart.
Michael Jackson will be greatly missed but I hope we come together again in heaven.
Loved forever the king of pop.

Some thoughts lately...

those you follow us can only have what we are. I love this saying, people will look upto you and follow you before they start to follow and rely on Jesus. This is a big resposibility and not many are well prepared for it. We must strive in everything we do and live to be the best we can in God, be as pure as we can live as close as we can to Jesus if we are going to be a true example of what God is like. This is the utmost calling. God is intrusting you to take care of his beloved children while they get to know him. We must be responsible and wise with how we do this. Consuming yourself witht he Lord is the only way to do this. Trusting and following God yourself for his guidance. Who are Jesus to in your world?

something to embrace

The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by, and this you will become.

Concept of boiling water

When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat. Nelson Mandela
This is one quote from Nelson Mandela that sticks in my mind. My passion is Africa, South Africa and Uganda in particular. I first read his autobiography within three days. I couldnt put it down. To know what this man went through for the freedom of his country in truly inspiring. three years on from reading it, i can still hear his voice reading me his life. This quote rings true to so many things but being on fire for God seems to be the main message Gods wants us all to hear. When someone starts to become on fire for God they are boiling they can either stop boiling and become stale. Stop going forward and either stay put or start to go backwards. This is seen too often for my liking and is it any wonder why. It is not always the persons fault, if they do not have enough guidance, leadership,oppurtunity or support among fellow christians,becoming stagnant is very possible. However when oppurtunity to further there walk with God comes about, many things are possible. They will either back down or boil over. We must continue and always be boiling and ensure everyone around us is. Boiling water has different stages but as long as we are in that process anything is possible. God wants us to be on fire and boil over. Where about are you when it comes to boiling water?

Back in action

okay everyone im back blogging and have come with fire. I took some time these past few months to focus on uni work and to figure out where im heading and to sort some things out. I still dont know some things but i finally feel able to breathe. I am more focused and am on fire. Being on holidays is a well needed break to gain some perspective. I know what God wants me to do in my life in the future and this is like most. You know your supposed to be a teacher, nurse, preacher and counsellor etc so you start studying and preparing for role. Yet that is years away so what do you do with your time now? that is what has been tugging away at me. How can God use me right now? is a question that you should always ask yourself when you wake up in the morning. I still dont know all the answers to that question the only thing to do is to keep praying for God to direct you to the specifics. Once you get a general idea such as young teen girls, then the question is what and how? Everyone has a purpose for the future and whilst God is preparing you for the future what can God prepare you to do now? Now is always the time.
If we keep saying oh i know what God's purpose for me is but i cant do anything about it for a few years yet. What is that saying, what can you do now that will make your future even better and brighter. The more you can do now will only aid you in the future. How much better will you be. God has a bigger plan for everyone in the world that creates his plan for the earth. Within those big plans are tiny plans and small things that help create the big ones. So the question i ask again is what can YOU do NOW?

last night of I61

the last night of i61 was totally awesome! the night didnt end until 12.30am. almost three solid hours of prayer. everyone was on fire, was incredible.
I had a vision of me preaching to thousands, very scary yet comforting in the same way. I had been praying for God to set me on fire, to fill me. well that he did. As i started to pray for others i could literally feel my hands burning and the power the filled me, the fire seemed to transfer to whoever i was praying for words would come out of my mouth that I never thought of, God was speaking to them through me. God was using me as a vessel, he was controlling me and it was a very strange feeling. God was everywhere, I dont think anyone left the building who had not been impacted in some way. I am more than ever excited for this year after an incredible start to it! i am certain that 09 brings amazing things for everyone.

Some words that came to me whilst I was overcome was this :
We must fight like never before, we must stand firm in our faith and take a stand. We must be on fire witht he holy spirit. Never back down we are running out of time. We must ignite a fire that has been dorment and become an inferno so that all nations will be blazing for God Proclaim and show the glory of God. Matt 3:11 we are baptized in the holy spirt and fire. We must be a blazing furnace, a catalyst for greater things. God wants us on fire for him and with doing so he will set us on fire with the holy spirit.

I61 conference!

So last night was totally awesome! Kevin Caldwell is amazing! You could feel Gods presence and the power that was in the building. The spirit was definitely upon us! sunday night was great also. God has revealed so many things to me already and the week ahs only just begun! Very excited to see what the rest of the week holds. I am always amazed and surprised at how God works, prayers are answered before we have already prayed them. Realise your passions and the call on your life and run for it, run like you never have before. Now is the time, each new day is the now part. Young people are being prepared and are rising up. Something is stirring in the hearts of young people and it is amazing to see!

a few of my favourite parts of last nights message:

Even if you have no one and are all alone. Remember that you never are and that you always have God.

No matter what is going on around you, look up to God and everything else wont seem as big. Call on God.

All bad and terrible things can manifest into something great.

If God is for me who can be against me.

God chose YOU in spite of who you were and what you have done.

You always need more Jesus.

Remember you are God's Child and that he chose you to bring others into the light of his kingdom.

who are you?

I feel like i have to say this maybe someone needs to hear it. Who are you? everyone is different and unique. God created us a certain way to fulfill our purpose on earth. When you compare yourself to someone either a celebrity or a friend and try to be like them you lose who you are and why you are on earth. Trying to be like someone your not is not the answer. You are most comfortbale when being yourself. Everyone one is attracted to different things which is the beauty of being different. Sure you may not always fit in or get on with people. Honeslty who care? you shouldnt if you are being true to yourself. I have learnt that this year. Do not care what other people think, it will only bring you down and make you doubt yourself. In God you are strong and who you are and supposed to be. Do not stress about what other people think and if people with judge you. It is a waste of energy and time. Live your life how God will want you to and that is it. Dont change yourself for anyone or anything. God loves you jsut the way you are and trying to change with not do anything.
Love you all

Life is too short

The averege human life is 80yrs. This is if your lucky and healthy enough to live this long. I'm aiming to see 100, dont think i will though. Would love at least 90. Howver i do not see myself being that old. The process of death scares me so much. However I am not afraid to be with Jesus. what i am afraid of is what if i die and I have not fulfilled what i was supposed to do on earth. What happens if you let someone go you were not ment to. Life is too precious to waste. I am 20 next year. It feels like yeaterday i was 11. In no time at all we age and life can zoom past and we stay the same. We must move with time and react with the changes. Each day is important in saving lives. I know I can not fulfill what God wants me to do for at least another few years so i have to figure out what I am supposed to do until then. This is upto God whatever he wants me to do I will. Time is precious. What are you doing with your time? God loves everyone even if you dont. People are in our lives for a reason and it is up to us to find this reason out. Even if we cant just being there is helping. everyone asks what are they supposed to be doing? what does God want me to do with my life? the simple answer is PRAY the only way to know what God wants you to do is to pray and ask him. I can not stress that enough. Prayer is the only way to find out what you are called to do. Once you know there is no turning back. a fire ignites and throw yourselves at it. 2009 is here what are you going to do? use your time wisely!

Studying hard at uni 4.Launching myself into the hands of God and craving him like never before. 5. fine tune my art skills 6. get into shape, become more fit than i already am. 7 enjoy life like never before and savour each day for what it is. 8. accept things for what they are 9. dont stress over things i cant control 10.
