hey guys..
once again.. dropping a short post about living life.. woooish.. im currently on the top of the world.. n God is moving greatly..
One person told me a few weeks ago.. “you shouldnt move ahead if God did not tell you where to go to… ” illustrarion is from the bible itself.. as in the story of abraham.. GEN12:1.. ” … GO TO THE LAND WHERE I WILL SHOW YOU.. . so, as a person who wants to move ahead in Christ.. should you sit and wait for God to show you?? or take the first step n let God guide you??
MY belief is that you pray about your desire.. and, when you feel ryte.. make the first move.. it is by my own experiance i can say this..
i was about to make a decision on where to go to move forward in my life.. *and trust me.. when you’re about to make these decisions, that will make you move on, de devil will disturb n try discourage you more.. * so, when i was about to do this.. someone told me that i should know where to go to first! before getting up n going.. discouragements were given.. saying.. your roots are planted.. n if you uproot it, it will never grow. which ALL MADE SENCE!!!
BUT, i had a pastor tell me.. you pray, make a decision, conform it and STICK with it.. so thats what i did.. i stuck with it.. i have my own thoughts about moving.. God also said, do not worry about tomorrow as I will take care of that. so that is what i held on to..
so, the night before my move came, i wasnt 100% sure where i should go to!! and, 11:30pm.. i still held on to “do not worry about tomorrow.. just before sleeping.. conformation came.. in a form of instructions from my own parents.. without asking.. they conformed where and what i should do..
and since ive made this decision.. God has been wonderfull!!! all the way i look forward for God.. im so enthusiastic n i cant wait to enjoy Gods love more and more..
SO!!! how about the story about abrahams example and ect.. is God contradicting himself??
=NOT AT ALL!! AND NEVER WILL!!!! you see, God says so many things to us in His word. we are only humans.. we cant take everything in.. our spirit man is built up by the amount we read.. and how God wants us to live our life! the reasons that my friend gave me is not wrong!! it is right! it is right for everyone.. but the spiritman inside of us gives us the extra push, burden, hunger and words of encouragement in your heart. for me it was “do not worry about tomorrow…” and that is what i held on to!! so, in my life.. God wanted me to move on.. and thats why God, trough my heart, told me to go forward.. (by pushing those words into my heart)
and to my friend, his burden, hunger, words of encouragement are his spirit man telling him words to tell him to stay where he is.. to wait n wait for God..
i hope you understand how God works.. its massive!!! just exercise your spritman.. and watch n see what great things will go on!

If this is a question in your mind let this guide you.
Why am I here? Who am I? What will happen when I die? These questions have intrigued people throughout the ages. And the answers can be discovered by understanding God’s plan of salvation.
You have probably heard the story of God’s love referred to as the “Gospel” or “Good News.” What is the Good News? Simply this: Because of what Jesus has done, your sins can be forgiven and you can live forever.
What did Jesus do? Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into the world as a human being, lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead.
Because Christ died to pay for our sins, your sins can be forgiven. And because He conquered death, you can have eternal life—you can know for sure what will happen to you after you die.
But this gift of forgiveness and eternal life cannot be yours unless you willingly ask for it. God requires an individual response from you.
________________________________________________________________________
In Revelation 3:20, Jesus says, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.”
What does this mean? Jesus Christ wants to have a personal relationship with you. He is waiting for you to receive Him into your heart and life. All you have to do is invite Him in.
But your first step is to ask for forgiveness:
Repent…that your sins may be wiped out and times of refreshing may come from the Lord. —Acts 3:19
Once you’ve asked for forgiveness, your next step is to believe and trust in the gift God is giving you.
Understand, this gift of forgiveness and eternal life is free. It’s something you can’t earn.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. —Ephesians 2:8,9
The word grace means “undeserved favor.” It means God is offering you something you could never provide for yourself. You don’t have to work for this gift. All you have to do is believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ died for you. Do you believe?
The Bible promises that when you sincerely ask God for forgiveness and trust in Jesus, you will experience new life in Christ.
That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. —Romans 10:9
Today, with all your heart, surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Confess your sins. Ask God to forgive you. Say that you’ll trust in Jesus. And thank Him for the gift of everlasting life. Pray now:
“Father, I know that I have sinned against You. Please forgive me. Wash me clean. I promise to trust in Jesus, Your Son. I believe that He died for me—He took my sin upon Himself when He died on the cross. I believe that He was raised from the dead. I surrender my life to Jesus today.
“Thank You, Father, for Your gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Please help me to live for you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
There is nothing magical about the words you use. It is the attitude of your heart that God cares about.
Your final step in becoming a Christian is to receive this free gift of forgiveness and eternal life. The Bible teaches:
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. —John 1:12
When you receive Christ into your heart, you become a child of God. You have the privilege of talking to Him in prayer. At any time. About anything.
The Christian life is a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. And best of all, it is a relationship that will last for all eternity. Joyfully receive it!
If you just made a commitment to Christ today, let us know. We’d like to send you some helpful information about your new life in Christ.

You will never regret making this decision.
