Courage And Tenacity

 

Just heard a message by Heidi Baker on Bethel TV.

I love her message because she always brings out the super bigness of God in the most matter-of-factly kinda way.

My takeaway from the message was how quickly God would respond when we tell Him we ask Him to come spend time with us. How sometimes when God tells us to something and given us the key, we should use the key promptly and not sit on it. Some of us have not even put the key into the key hole.

Then at the end, after praying for the people for quite a while, she said that God is giving out COURAGE and TENACITY.

I actually felt these two words at the beginning of the message. So when she mentioned them I responded to the prayer and told God I want it too.

Forum with Reuben and Sarah Morgan, facilitated by Brian and Jenn Johnson. They spoke on the topic of what worship is.

My takeaway from that message were:
1. Do not get overfamiliar with God's presence
2. Constantly have this child-like wonder on the things of God
3. Brian - "The more I know, the more I don't know. The more I've experienced, the more I want."
4. Jenn - "Abba Father, what's next!"

Abba Father, I want my response to You everyday to be one who never ceases to be amazed by You, to be constantly obsessed with who You really are and to have ZERO resistance to this God in me whom You have sent as a Helper to do all that You want me to.

This new year, my resolution is to grow in total dependency on this Helper within me. Have Your way in me, Holy Spirit. I give You permission to remind me that I am Yours completely.

Help me to guard my heart against anything that wants to take Your rightful place because it's the most precious thing I have, the one thing that You treasure above all I have - above my gifts. My heart is what You desire above my sacrifice. Let me never have a false humility and keep saying that my heart is not worthy because it is. It is Your prized reward that You shed Your precious blood for. Help me to guard my heart and keep it pure for You, Jesus!

Dol-awass-eo • Back I think that’s what it means la. Act cool only. 😂  This picture's got nothing to do with this post, but I happy just want to put it here la...#tb27032023 Context: Today my bff reminded me that a while back she asked me to revive my blog and start writing again. So here I am, sitting in McD thumbing my comeback essay (eee…this word still brings the shivers) which could even be my last since I seriously don’t know where I’m heading with this. But one thing I can say though, the tagline of my blog still stands. Bandaged to be able to leave my heart. Not trying to be emo but it’s the truth. One type of bandage recommended by my bff is called “Manage Myself”. This includes not expecting to change others but managing my own expectation of how others can/should change. I haven’t read my previous posts since I last wrote (Dec 2016) but I vaguely remember one such emo post where I mentioned about less expectation = less pain. I can’t recall what caused me to write somet

So Wonderful Is Your Goodness, O Lord!

So beautiful... Psalms 18:25-36 "With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; w ith a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; with  the pure You will show Yourself pure; and  with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. For You will save the humble people, but  will bring down haughty looks. For You will light my lamp; the  Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, by  my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; the  word of the Lord is proven; He  is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, and  makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and  sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war, so  that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your  right hand has held me up, Your  gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me,
