Hey guys if you're reading this I want you to know that you're so blessed! I honestly believe that God is raising up lovers, lovers of His Word and His presence, children who yearn to live like Him on the earth filled with His heart and are recklessly devoted to Him and communing with Him 24/7.
I want my life to be a prayer to God and that's why I love Romans 12. It reminds me that no matter how many people I touch with the Gospel message what is vital is a life that can actually touche the heart strings of Jesus because I do everything for Him and with Him from a place of love.
This week I've read Romans 12 almost everyday, smiling as I remind myself who I am. Jesus was the WORD made flesh, did you know, you are too? You're a living epistle! People should read the Bible and actually make parallels with your life and what it's saying.
As we wake up a whole load of lies are going to come and attack us, but as I wash myself in prayers laced in the Word of God like I just prayed in this video, the temptations may still come however I have the Word of God to fight with so that I do not entertain them. When you read scriptures, did you know that God wants you to personalise them? I get excited because I realise as I read the Word, this was who I was born to be and I declare it AS ME.
For example when I read Romans 12:21 that says: Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. I say THIS IS WHO I AM. I NIA-CERISE CONTEH am not overcome by evil but I overcome evil with good! Meaning that as I read scripture I personalise and declare it as who I am rather than condemning myself by focusing on what I can't see in my life yet. I really believe that this is one of the secrets to knowing your Sonship in God: seeing scriptures as God's invitation to who you are rather than seeing scripture as God's irritation with how much your life doesn't live upto it.
God is faithful to do a work in us and complete the picture, lets be patient as we are being perfected. Prayer is so vital in our walk with God and as I pray for you I pray it motivates you to pray more too. My prayers don't always sound like this, it depends on how the Holy Spirit is leading me. Sometimes I become more aggressive in prayer and do intercession, other times I'm completely silent and loving Him with my heart offering up silent prayers and a lot of the time I'm praying in my heavenly language. Follow the Spirit!
It's valentines today, lets celebrate our first love Jesus, starting with prayer as we speak our hearts to Him.
