Revelation.

New revelation is so good! 

Thats what the last two weeks have been mainly about. I have been gaining revelation of Gods true love for us and in that I’m understanding how to love him.

He has been reminding me to be a simple lover of him. This means that I just need to simply keep falling in love with him and he will work in my heart and I will grow closer to him. 

Gods requirement of us is to simply LOVE!!!! Thats such a beautiful thing.

Love and be loved!! Ahh, it warms my heart!

I am a sexual being and thats the way GOD created me to being!!

Ok, so my title for todays post is pritty provocative but thats what this week has been about. This week we have been focusing on Kingdom Sexuality, so we have looked at marriage, what it means to have a good Godly marriage and in this we have looked at sex before marriage as well as in marriage.

I have loved this week because I love learning about this kind of stuff, I love learning about how God has created us and designed us. It is truly amazing, we are truly a magnificent design. We are made to love and to be loved!

We also learnt about how men need good male rolemodels as they grow up, Good father figures to guide and teach them to respect women and the rest of the world. Women need to feel secure and they need to be loved and nurtured. This means, for all you guys, that you need to Chase that woman. Woman want to be wanted, they want to be chased. Fight for her, persue her don’t make her do all the work!!!

It was crazy and scary to learn about how there is a 50% divource rate! Its crazy, this is something that NEEDS to change. Our world is so messed up because of the break down in families. Just about all of the terrible things that occur in this world canbe traced back to a break down in the family. We need to be the change!!

What a good God!

What an amazing day today has been! I am truly in awe of the Creator God that we praise.
God came today and really brought healing and breakthrough In So may lives He also brought revelation. He gave me revelation of his love. God, the God we worship is the God of love, of forgiveness and of truth. He is the Creator God, why would he have created something he didn’t love, he couldn’t, God’s love is a passionate burning love that can break through anything. He wants you encourage terms you and he will. He wants our friendship and the only way we can for a friendship is through spending time with eachother and trusting Him. He showed me this today and health hair such a good God, I know this is so cliche Christian talk but to be honest I really don’t care because I know him, I follow him, I love him and I know that it’s the truth!

Family.

Boy oh boy do I love my family! Today I recieved a lovely little packacge from my parents. It was so nice, they sent me some Pinapple Lumps. I’ve got to be doing my part representing New Zealand. Most people loved them so good work all you lovely Kiwis!! My parents also put in lots of other awesome things and I got a really sweet letter from one of the greatest girls on this planet, Bless you Annabelle White.

So anyway, today was just a good day. A group of people from my DTS went and filmed the fire up above the university of the Nations and they produced an amazing news piece, props to you guys, really quality work. Check it out and like it, share it, getting buzzing around! http://gnikona.com/story/community-forged-in-fire

I’m loving it here, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. It is hard sometimes but I’m really enjoying myself.

The new life I choose to lead.

Last week was such a SUPER cool week. My view of what it means to be a christian, and how I’m living out my walk with God was totally flipped upside down as a new perspective and new truth was shared.

I say that I love God, I put my hands up when I worship and I sing the words to each song with such enthusiasm, but do I really truthy love God? Do I always MEAN the words I sing in worship, or do I just like the tune??

I so desire to love God, my body and mind Longs to know what it means to love God. When I take a step back and look at myself, I see that although I want to love God, I don’t understand what that really means, or maybe I do, I just enjoy living my selfish life too much to give it up and commit to a life that really shows the truth of what loving God REALLY is. I want to understand Gods love, I’ve been told a hundred times how much he loves us and what he did to prove that and it is truly amazing but I can’t understand that kind of love for some reason, is my heart too hard?

I’ve been doing some thinking trying to get myself to understand why I say I want to fully commit my life, and give it all up but can’t. I’ve come to realise that I so want to do missions and be involved with all that but I’m so scared because my stupid selfish heart is making me feel so split. I want to give my heart fully and i want to be able to just do exactly what God wants me to do with my life without any questions or doubts, but I think to myself I want a comfortable life, I guess I want the material things, I don’t want to be poor, worrying about money my whole life. Its what I’m scared of and I really dont want to be!! Could you lovely people that read this blog please pray for me in this area. Thank-you :)

I feel quite unconnected with God at the moment, I feel very distant from him and its not where I want to be. I mean I’m fully growing closer to God and I’m gaining a greater understanding of who he is and what he wants for me but I’m just finding it hard to connect with him lately, Maybe Hes teaching me something, I certainly hope so!!

Today was our first totally free day since I got here and it was such a fun day over all!! I slept in untill like 8am WOOH!! Its the latest I’ve slept. Then we went to the beach and tanned for a while and then we went cliff jumping!!! It was really cool but it got pritty risky and to be honest I am so thankful to God because he really protected us because there was a really close call at one point, so Thank-you God!!

Peace out all you great people!
