God creates all of us with the potential to be like Him in all areas of our lives....many may ask yeah but what does this look like? And how do we become like God (emanating His heart and character)? Being like God can be described through this scriptures: 1 John 4:8 Amplified The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God (does not and never did know Him), for God is love. (He is the originator of love, and it is and enduring attribute of His nature). The true nature of His love can be seen in 1 Corinthians 13 And In order to be like someone you first need to acknowledge them, then in order to learn from them, you need to honour them and then you go on to knowing them by following them and doing what you see they do. See all of us have the potential to have an influence in this world but we decide what influence we want to have...positive or negative, lasting or fading... There are only two ways that we can influence this world in a lasting w

I believe that we are in a season where God no longer wants us to "take" Him to the people as a fixer, but as a source of life and life abundance and the only way we can truly do that is by showing people what it means to live a life embodied by the Spirit of Christ...we need to show people who Christ is in and through us and want to be in and through them. When you seek Jesus as a fixer, you know of Him and what He can do, but you still do not know Him. - This is not faith BUT When you know Jesus as your salvation, you no longer seek Him because you know that you found Him and you no longer have to look outward but instead you can just look inward because He is inside of you and just waiting to reveal Himself strong and mighty through you. - This is faith Faith is a continual trusting and reliance on Jesus as the source of life (and all that it entails), knowing that what He said will be! 2 Corinthians 2:14 Amplified But thanks be to God, who always
Have you ever asked yourself why do I do what I do? So many times we go about living our everyday lives, doing things just as they come along not really thinking why we do what we do or why we want to do something but this is not all...; how many of us actually think before we speak and contemplate the meaning behind what we are about to say? I am a very driven and creative person that do not like to sit still (even though it is sometimes necessary) and do nothing especially during the day because most of the times I feel like I am wasting time while I could be adding meaning to life by doing something and then I would get up and start to do something even if it meant doing house chores. Now although this may cause my house to always be clean and tidy it sometimes causes my inner being to feel empty and purposeless because if I just start to clean my house because I do not want to waste time then I do it in vain even though I get a clean and tidy house in return, but if I
In 2014 I had a dream that I was running from people as they were trying to kill me. At one point in the dream I jumped over a wall and saw a pool in from of me and thinking that the water may slow me down but I have nowhere to hide, I dove into the pool and just as I did the people chasing me saw that I jumped in the pool and so he did as well. Once in the pool, I struggled to get away and he slit my throat, I thought I am going to die and so, with my feet standing still on one point, my body started swirling around in a circle and while I was starting to lose consciousness the man and woman was busy contemplating what they should do with me. It was not long before I started to notice that I am not dying but I am actually getting stronger, but being afraid that they would kill me if they were to see that I am still alive, I pretended to be "dead". At one point I heard the woman saying to the man that I am getting stronger and that I am not dead, but he argued and said
Many of us seek to do the following: Matthew 10:8 Amplified Bible Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. And we should, but more than that we should seek the character of God, cause all of the things mentioned in that scripture are symptoms of something that has taken its root and started to bear bad fruit and so when we seek to raise the dead, cleanse the leper, heal the sick and cast out demons we treat the symptom and not the cause. I do seek to do all this, but more so I seek God to instill in me His character, so that first of all I am firmly planted and rooted in Him and then I can help others to also seek Him to lay the axe at the root of a bad bearing tree that wants to grow and therefore the tree never gets time to grow and bear bad fruit but instead they can learn to be planted and rooted in Jesus and that will cause them to bear good fruit for He is health, He is life, He is freedom, He blessed
My mother asked me last week Thursday whether I had any new years expectancy and I told her, no I don't because this is the first year that I do not strongly feel something specific but if I have to say something then it would be that there is a shift in government and I do not mean shift in physical government (although it is that as well), but I mean a massive shift in spiritual government! That afternoon my husband said I can throw either R120 or R100 petrol in my car and when I heard that, the amounts mentioned carried weight and I felt that God was giving me a choice and that the amounts meant something more and so I asked Him, "Lord what does the R120 represent and what does the R100 represent?", to which I got the following: The R120 represents the 120 in the upper room, on them the baptism of fire came and they went out from there and shifted the atmosphere wherever they went because they released the government of heaven (the kingdom=heart, rule & re
South Africa is the place of my birth a place filled with diversity and rich in culture and was founded on Christian principals therefore my heart for this nation is as follows: That this nation will not be torn to pieces because we chose to see each other’s differences as weaknesses but rather that we would embrace each other’s differences and use it to strengthen our nation by unifying our differences to bring about a better future for all. That this nation will cultivate one culture of learning to love unconditionally, have joy no matter what the circumstances, be forbearing, treat each other with kindness, be good to one another, be faithful people who has gentle hearts and practice self-control. That the whole of our nation would have but only ONE GOD as there is only ONE TRUE GOD and that is I AM, for I know that when this nation would start to act on the words of Jesus Christ who is our Rock, then this nations foundation would be unshakable, unmovable and indestruc
