Week 13- Be in the moment

Week 13 2/4/13 - 8/4/13

This week was verily flat action wise but I have learnt a lot of things and had many revelations about many things in relation to what I have learned. I have learnt a lot about my responsibility to my church and that I am in a spiritual war. The things you here about that you should be as a Christian like ‘Jesus loves you’ etc; have become real in my heart and ounce something becomes alive in your heart, that is when you are on fire and when nothing can stop you.

I am trying to think of everything but it seems to be a bit impossible at the moment so this week’s blog may be a bit delayed for another day. Sorry.

One of the major things I have learnt is how important it is to prepare the youth of a church to actually take over the rolls of the older generation. I know it probably sounds like I am hyped up on emotions and God and on a Jesus buzz, but I am just becoming aware of the fact that there are unsaved people who die every day and go to hell and here I am doing nothing about it. And it is good to get revelations like this in a new perspective (Africa) which allows you to have the courage, wisdom, urgency and more to act upon what you know you should do. Like I said it’s about the things you know in your head becoming known and fully acknowledged in your heart. I think it takes longer for the things of God to make their way into your heart in such a way because our hearts are naturally sinful and it takes time to remove sin to be replaced God. To replace the flesh with the spirit; the dog you feed will be the strongest as the Indian tale goes. I think as a young person I am realising the urgency that I need to step up to the plate and be really serving in my community, because in the end the only thing that will matter is not how much I got from everyone but how much I gave because the fact of the matter is that Jesus has and will given me so much and I need to be passing the favour on. I am really excited to get back to Longreach start serving my church like I see happening here in a mega church such as Watoto. Longreach Baptist church is a gold mind just waiting for an explosion to reveal the glory of Jesus and I feel it coming and hope I can be a part of it. Even though I sometimes feel like I am not growing as I write it down like this I realise how much I am learning. I was talking to a friend and we were saying how sometimes just being away from everything you know can really bring a change and I am sure when I get back people will be able to see it more than me, at least I hope so.

Another small thing I have learnt is to just really enjoy and seize the moment, because much too often I find myself looking forward to the next thing and once I get there I am looking forward to the next thing. And to learn that is a real blessing because so many things in life are one night events.

There is so much and it is literally impossible to tell everything but I guess one day you might just see it.
