When people hear me talk about God, they say they like to hear all the stories and get inspired by my faith and walk with God. Actually, I'm inspired myself by what God is doing in my life. It just lifts me up everytime I'm about to fall down... And now God has revealed me a little bit of what my future ministry is up to be. I need to pray for direction, I need to seeke His will and guidance. Everything is so overwhelming and so powerful that I just ask God whether He has made the right decision by picking me... And I'm reminded of Mary, Jesus mother, of Abraham, Joseph, Peter and other apostoles and people used by God. They were all simple men and women who just believed the mighty God and trusted Him. And the bottom line is that I'm just afraid of taking up the responsibility for things He has already arranged for me... I have to break free and dance in His love as one of the songs lines it up. I need to break free. I WANT to break free. It's all about the desire of your heart. The Bible says that your heart is where put your treasure (Luke 12:34) Do you want God or do you want the wordly things first? When I read the Gospels, I see that if you want to be righteous before God you have to leave everything. It doesn't mean that you have to detach from everything physically. But what you definitely have to detach from everyhting is your heart. When my heart is with God, when it is lifted up and wordhiping my Father in heavens, I love, I have compassion, I can talk to people about Christ, invite them to accept the love of God and give their lives to God. It's all because I'm overflowing with the Holy Spirit. But that is only possible if you stay connected. And you stay connected if you watch and pray. This is the time and activity that satan will always try to intrude in a Christian's life by overloading him or her with a thought that there is one more urgent thing that needs to be done right NOW. I need to fight for my time with God, and my enemy most of the times is not satan, but my flesh which is so susceptible to satan's "good ideas". So let's fight!
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
(James 4:7)
