With the fufillment of god's grace comes the revelation of truth.
this was the word that god gave me during sanification week,on the very first day.
'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.' 2 corinthians 12:9
indeed,it is through the fufuillment of god's grace to us that we no longer are slaves to our weak selves,not in the flesh,because our mortal bodies are not eternal,and god is eternal. but rather in our spritual being we are far stronger because we have a god who sustains us through every circumstance.
ive always felt inferior ... its something not alot of people would know about,but its always been a deep seated struggle.
there are alot of things ive always wanted to change about myself ... ive come to realise tho,that not only does god love me just the way i am,he had created me to begin with and therefore he takes pride in every intricate detail that is his creation. even the ones that cause me to feel inferior,the ones that i want to change. we all have our imperfections, and that's what god is for dont you think?
one other thing god impressed upon my heart was when PS Julie spoke about being IN the world,yet not OF the world.
this has been my stronghold for as long as i can remember! haha! and she brought out a point about this being an impossible thing to achieve without foundational strength in god's word of truth. this really struck a chord in me!
during alter call PS eugene spoke three words to us at the alter that caused me to break down and tear...
'Son,Ive missed You...'
it was as if the words were so gently whispered into my spirit it breathed into me such an overwhelming emotion that flowed endlessly.
it was a call back to his presence. one day without reading his word,one day without soaking in His powerful presence,and god misses you so greatly!
A heart that hungers,thirsts, and is ready and prepared.
Also,PS spoke about a time when passionate pursuits result in uncontrolled rebellion.
so many times have i been deceived into thinking that the things i do would redeem me from my sense of inferiority and lonliness ... in my foolish pursuits i have forsaken my first love,and this really convicted me as well!
'seek first his kingdom and his righteousness...'
sanification week spoke alot to me ... and i cannot begin to tell you of how incredible an experience it was!
and as i share ... my prayer is that all of you reading,christians or not,will be blessed in one way or another!
PS Danny said,'wherever you want to meet god is where he will be'
'How much you desire to seek god,is how much he will reveal himself to you.'
