yea great service...ulf ekman's comin next wk!
so really impacted by e Word todae. jus to summarise...hehe basically our life's like a lump of clay. and God is like our potter. well, others may choose to mold their own life, or rely on the world or other people to mould their lives.
jus like e lump of clay, we were picked imperfect, formless and without a dream and a purpose. the Potter would then remove all the stones and other hard areas of our lives. our hard areas of anger, pride, bitterness, etc.
next He will put us on a spinner. well, tts like e moment we receive salvation. at first it may seem exciting but as our lives and being revolved round and round and round, we start to find our lives getting boring...everything seems to be so routine. e.g. wake up, go sch, sleep, wake up, sch, sleep, wake up, cel grp, sleep, wake up, church, sleep, wake up, sch, sleep, etc... what is happening to our lives? God is trying to instill a constant in our lives, a routine/discipline in our lives.
as we begin to adapt to the discipline of God in our lives, God then begins to shape the clay. as the clay goes higher and higher, the walls gets thinner. many feel/think tt we can hide e bad areas in our life like, vulgarism, no self-control, unfriendliness, etc. but sooner or later...as the walls get thinner, the pebble/bulge in our life will become more evidently exposed. eventually we have to start all over again on the 'spinner' of our lives.
God then applies pressure inward towards e clay, on our attitudes. He is more interested in our attitude than our comfort. next He begins to stretch our hearts and our capacity along with water which is e anointing of e Holy Spirit, giving us dreams and visions...
after the spinning and moulding comes e SHELF, where we will be put for a long time. in e midst of other 'incomplete' jars/vases. each tie we think we're there...we're not. why does God leave us on e shelf? so that we will remain immovable, unshakable, no matter how hard life may be. its where we develop spiritual backbone...
last of all, after the long period of time on e shelf, comes e furnace. indeed every gd piece of pottery/even diamonds go thru e furnace. e bigger ur dream, e longer ull have to stay in e furnace of ur life. it is thru this period, that our character is moulded, we are tested time and time again. its in e furnace tt we become stronger, more rooted in God and having a greater capacity of faith where we can believe e impossible. but e gd news is, jus like Shedrech, meshech and abednigo, king nebuchadnezzar saw e 4th man in u furnace, and He looked like e son of God.
Jesus is closest to us in our deepest time of distress, where we need Him the most. most people trust God and believe that He is there to help them in times of need, but doubt sinks in and they break, unbelief sinks in and they fall apart. strong people are e ones tt are rooted in God, have have their purpose, destiny in God and have e ultimate sense of security. its not abt who u are, but its abt who u can become...
knowing who God is and knowing God is 2 diff things altogether. God is relational. jus like in a relationship, it will nv work out w/o trust, communication. e power of God in ur life is determined by ur level of relationship with Him. God works in e realm of e impossible, of e supernatural. Abraham was a good example of a fren of God, he had conversations with God. when God was abt to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham negotiated with God and God asked him, what do u think of this and tt? tt is e kind of relationship tt is e deepest. God reveals His secrets to His friends, believers know what God is gonna do, God's friends know HOW God is gonna do it. and e most amazing thing God told Abraham is what do u want Me to do for u? tt is e ULTIMATE closeness to God...
im excited for this wk's conference with ulf ekman...and benny hinn soon. man i say on e video today how Benny Hinn healed e deaf....its really such faith u see in this guy that can turn nations upside down. already thousands of tourists and taking a vacation jus to come to our church to witness benny hinn, hes one of e greatest healing apostles of our generation. in his services, e lame have walked, blind have seen, dead has been risen. i cant wait...=D hehe
Faith puts no limit on God and God puts no limit on faith...;)
