hey! how come no one is updating?? sms me if u need e password n username alrites..mean while, jus wanna share some stuff..
was talking to zuzhang after prayer walk ytd...he said somethings that really hit me strong...
when we do things for God..is it out of pure obedience? or willingness?
but what God is looking for is not jus either one..but God is looking for
obedience + willingness
willingness to sacrifice our flesh, give up all, take up the cross and follow Him..is it done in pure obedience? or with willingness?
i thought it was like a simple task..like ok lorx..if God wants me to forsake clubbing that i forsake lorx..mus obey God mahx..if God wants me to go thru the Gordan, i'll do so..i'm willing cuz i know its good for me...
was praying about it last night..esp after thinkin the whole day abt what zuzhang said..i really needed to pray..and God showed me this..
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.
23 Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.
24 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness—
28 besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
30 If I must boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity. 31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.
32 In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me;
33 but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands.
at that moment when i read the verse..i was convicted...a decision i made and i believe it will change my life..
what about you? what are the areas God had been apeaking to you about? are you willing to lay down ur life, crucify your flesh, and serve Him wholeheartedly..God is looking for willing people....
either we do it, or we don't
