Kingdom

         As Christians we live in the Kingdom. The realm of the Holy Spirit. We are no longer part of "humanity" but rather something Heavenly. We are God's cherished children.
         People are 'of ' God. They were painstakingly created by God and so, all are precious to Him. If you live in the Kingdom, as you live your life in obedience to the Spirit (housing Christ), the dormant potential of others will stir. The gifts that God instilled in them will be attracted to Christ living in you. You are then to sow seeds of truth in them, to mentor them, and above all love on them. Turn the stirring into a RUMBLING. Until their soul rises up in a cacophonous revelation of His Salvation!!
           Don't go back to your former ways. You can't. I challenge you to live intentionally for God. The deepest desires of your heart will be realized only through this. Because, after all, God was the one who put them there.
WORK TO EXPAND THE KINGDOM, RELEASE THE SEED OF AUTHORITY CHRIST BOUGHT FOR YOU, AND SPEAK AGAINST SILENCE.

Niagara

This weekend I stayed over at a friends place that I haven't seen for a while now. At one point I had been really close with that friend and her sister, but life began to interfere and we slowly lost our closeness.To be honest where I missed the relationship that we had before, I had come to expect that this weekend would be one of those check ups where we acknowledge the relationship that we had, have a couple of laughs, and then part with the promise of another check up a couple of months from then. The night began exactly as I expected it too, with laughter and camaraderie but nothing speaking of the deeper connection from before. After our night routine was done we wound down and got into bed, and began watching so you think you can dance episodes online. Slowly we began talking about life and the last couple of months, before we knew it it was 5 30 am and we had told each other things that would of warranted a name in the obituaries had it been anyone else.
The next day we went to Niagara Falls with (for me) some acquaintances. I now know what it means to meet people who are connected to God in the same way that you are. There are no walls, and joy and freedom reign. I had a fantastic time and would just like to praise God for the Wonder of His creation!!!
