Christ is everywhere... EVERYWHERE

Pre-Lecture Testimony: well hello to anyone who reads this! well the motive of my writing (actually copy-pasting from an e-mail) this blog, is cuz today i felt inquisitive about all this... let me clear it up, today i started goin to the gym with a couple of friends n its bin gud! but as we started our spinning class i was just wondering if God was there. You may say ''of course! He's everywhere!'' but look at it this way: ·  Most ppl there dont know Christ, and work so hard in their bodies and in trying look good, that they leave God aside ·  The very music they play all around the gym pretty much talks about anything BUT God ·  the environment is quite absorbing in the sense of being involved in this whole movement of ''loking gooood, to be accepted'' and o well yea thats another subject
there are many other ways to look at it, but just try getting that perspective for a second... so as we were there i just tried concentrating on God. sounds illogical doenst it? thinking about God while you're working out on a gym for a ''not so religious motive'' suposively,  but everything that we do we shud do it as if it was for God and not for other ppl! so yes!! this small but strong read really made me think and re-think about being with God at all times, at all places. If im there, Christ is there cuz He's in me, and if Christ is there, Light is there, even if im in the darkest of places Light would be there! woooohoo now on to the principal reason of this blog hehe


Have you ever tried to run away from God?

Don't try it can't be done!

"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there. If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me." Psalm 139:7-10.



No matter
where we go in the will of God, He is
there!

Why should we flee from Him?

Why should we try to find height or depth, east or west, darkness or light?

"If I say, 'Surely the darkness shall fall on me,' even the night shall be light about me; indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You." verses 11,12.

Sometimes we've found ourselves in dark places and have wondered, "Does God know?"

He indeed knows!

If we sin, we go out into the darkness, but God sees us.

And sometimes when we are walking with the Lord, we still find ourselves in darkness. But that darkness is as light to God.


God is
everywhere and sees
everything!

Rather than flee from Him, we should flee to Him!

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."Ps. 46:1.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God--neither height nor depth, east nor west, darkness nor light.Rom. 8:38.39.

God promises to "never leave you nor forsake you."Heb. 13:5.

The next time you go through dark days, remember that God knows your problems and needs.

Take refuge in Him; He will see you through!


The night shall be light!

Throne

 

  

    
I see a river flowing from a throne


The rive is golden and silverlike


The Lamb's face glows and gives light to it all


His feet, like bronze, give warmth to the air


I see people, people standing before the throne


Before that throne of glory


Before that throne of victory


Worshiping and praising


I find myself with those peple


All dressed in white, their faces lightenes  by His


Suddenly they all cast their crowns 


One by one goes up tot he throne and places their crown at His feet

''I find in myself desires which nothing in this earth can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.''- C.S. Lewis

Wow!! Just read that quote again... read it? lol
It all adds up to one simple thought: we don't belong in this world. We belong with Jesus in Heaven, cuz that's where our Home is.
 
 
 
''14I have given and delivered to them Your word (message) and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world [do not belong to the world], just as I am not of the world.

    15I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one.

    16They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world.''

John 17:14-16 (Amplified Bible Version)

 

yaaay so for those who seek things from Above that dont fit to this world, we're sure that Home isn't here... this is just a stopping-place before heading to the real thing! God is amazing!!

God will be faithful

 

I Seriously Don't Understand

God, in this confusion, unbreakable im tryin to stand                                       

It makes no sense anymore

Dad, who am i living for?

 

I've been torn, ive been hit so bad

I cant feel the pain anymore

My life, friends, family are coming apart

And what's worse, things wont go back to the start

 

Nothing i do is satisfiable, nothing at all

Nothing i say is reliable, nothing for all

Im broken but You've taken me through many times

Your strong when Im weak, Your patient when i fail

 

 

 

 

 

Like a crippled rose, who's lost its liveliness

Like a crumbling petal, who's trying to hold on

Like a dying rose, seeking for true life

 

Nothing could ever give me life again

No one but You could breathe uniqueness

Creator of what's visible and what's not

You've promised to see me through

 

Like a dying rose, falling apart in my hand

Are the things i used to call my own

Like a dying rose, trying to survive

Are the things that i want to still have

 

Like a dying rose I need Your help, Dad make me new.

One of God's Promises to His Children

Have You ever wondered how many ppl in earth may be doing the same things that you are? Or probably have you ever asked yourself how many people are going through the same things, that exact moment? I've thought of this tons of times! Maybe I'm the weirdo here haha but it really intrigues me how many ppl may be doing the same things as i am.
Some time ago i found one of God's promises that made me feel completely sure that He'd strengthen me Himself.

''Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.'' 1 Peter 5:9,10

 Whenever we find ourselves having a hard time with any kind of temptation we have to remember that lots of brothers and sisters in Christ go through the same things too! Whenever we might be going through a hard time our motivation becomes the promise that God makes to us, which is restoration, strength, and steadfastness!! God is awesome! :):)

Me

Taken from Nathan's site at http://spaces.msn.com/nacchrist/

 

ok for everyone reading this.. i took the QUESTIONAIRE from his site... the answers are mine indeed :)

I am: God's princess

I am not:  lost
I love: My family, my friends, God above all

I hate: Indifference, selfishness, people who shut their eyes and cover their ears to avoid hearing and seeing God, ppl who know they need Him but rather choose to live their lives on as if nothing happened.

I fear: That people I know and love may perish in hell, i fear that i may not give a good testimony of Christ to others, i fear that someone may trip because of my attitutes or actions, i feel falling short when God comes and takes His PURE AND PERFECT church, i fear being left behind
I hear: the small voice of the Spirit inside me
I crave: salvation for my friends and family. I crave to be in God's arms one day, where He Hiimself will wipe off all my tears, I crave to feel God's heartbeats next to mine.

I Cry: when i see no answers, i cry when i feel alone spiritually, i cry when i sin.
I care: for other's feelings
I feel alone: i am never alone, but sometimes i get lonely

I drive: myself insane.
I sing: when i have lots on my head, when im inspired, when im in peace

I dance: when im cheerful, i just move my hands haha well few ppl know my ''dance'' lol but i just move around wen im happy
I write: all the time 
I play: Guitar

I miss: talking to people like i did before, ye Chaz is one of em. and friends. i miss the clarity and transparence that most of my friendships used to have some time ago.

I search: for God

I learn: when i mess up
I feel: an interior urge to help others meet Christ. I feel i cant do anything sometimes.

I know: that i know nothing, my wisdom is nothing infront of God, i need to become ignorant to then truly understand what wisdom is. (read that in romans i think...)

I need: someone to pray with too

I succeed: when i can be one with the Spirit
I dream: for friendships that will last, i dream to meet people i dont know yet, i dream gettin married to that ''special one'', i dream i can be new each day.
I wonder: why people get angry at others without even telling them. i wonder why people are so cold against Christ, i wonder how they can ever refuse to LIFE. 
I want: to be filled with the Holy Spirit of God

I have: love

I give: lotsa hugs hehe

I fall: in love. i fall when my eyes start focusing in other things, i fall when i think about mysel all the time, i fall when im sensitive to many things and i dont have the spiritual discernment i need.
I fight: against my own will, i fight against wat i ''think'' is rite i fight against wat i ''think'' is fair.

I say: Smile cuz we have hope for tomorrow and faith enough to live in holiness in these times.

Testing Develops Strength (Taken From: http://dailywisdom.gospelcom.net)

 

James 1:2 "The testing of your faith develops perseverance.
"Mountaintop experiences are good to keep us encouraged.
In fact, they are the spiritual goals toward which we all aim.
Be we cannot stay there all the time. It is as unrealistic to think
we can stay on a spiritual high, as it is to be down and out or
in a bad mood all the time.

It is in the difficulties, disappointments and oppositions where
we grow, if we accept them as challenges to be overcome.
It is in the valleys of life, where, when fertilized with difficulties,
we stretch, are renewed and grow.
The trees that are on the windward side of the
mountain have the strongest roots.
Kits rise against the wind, not with it. In my hometown
there is a live oak tree 325 years old. When it was a young

sapling, Indians lived here. It survived the coming of the white man and a

century later, the Civil War. It is still surviving today as we enter the War of Terrorism.

It has developed a strong root system. This is what makes us strong too. The winds of adversity that blow against us can either motivate us to stand firm or overcome; or we

 can allow them to pull us down and destroy our roots. James tells us, "Consider it pure joy, my brother, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance which must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking in anything. (James 1: 2-4)

Prayer: Father, May we develop a strong root system based on your word that we may be able to withstand life's adversities when they come. Amen

2 Corinthians 12:9,10 (NIV)

 

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

  

That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
