hey hey hey! ok bear bear this is the update ok!hahha! ok here it goes... its pretty long anyway... but who cares it belong to me kays.. haha
how can we really see? not jus with ure eyes, visible things, but the unseen, using ure heart to see... i was again doing my Qt and crying and asking God for support, strength and talking to God.. recently it have been tough on me.... then.. he gave me this verse
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are waiting away, yet inwardly we are renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2 Cor 4:16-18 )
the first line jus caught my attention. "Therefore we do not lose heart"... Somebody actually know not to lose heart? who? hahaha! i mean all of us, ok i am talkin about ure fren..hahaha! i mean all of us lose heart often, almost everyday! the glorious, resilient image of God in us have been fading away. Just like God and paul and many others, they had a hard life, turned away by people, it was like WAR! haha! wow eh? i mean look at them, but there is one more , "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on the unseen" ... i was like HUH!.. hahah i mean yea its hard for us to see the unseen! i mean haha we talk about it, we listen to pastor preach about it but many of us do not been able to fully understand or comprehend it.
and i was reading and reading and reading then this verse suddenly pop up in my mind, (Luke 24:30-32) When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognised him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
the reason behind that God gave this scripture? have you ever wondered why? why was the verses put up in such manner, arranged in such order?
there is more going on than what our naked eye can see! there are of 2 world. One in which we can see, the other we cant see.. Without the burning in our hearts, we have lost the meaning of our days. The reason behind our faith will then be gone. This way of looking using the naked eye steal away a lot of things from you.
Jesus, Paul, Stephen (if i remember correctly haha) were murdered for it, they tried to wake us up that HEY! dun jus see wad u can see! and they got silenced. WHY? WE ARE NOT WHAT WE SEEM!!! we seem to do the mundane things but hey! wake UP !!! WAKE UP!! there is a glory to our life that the evil fears! and he will try all ways to put us down even before we can use or discover it. it may sound YEA RIGHT! many pastors preached about it and yea right! but if you really look at it this way, if you really see things using this other eye/view and you believe in it. your world changes! the joy of the Lord will come upon you every min, every day, every cell of your body! and all day you will give Him praise! HALLELUJAH! then i was reading books by C.S lewis and i see this," Do you think I am trying to weave a spell? Perhaps i am; but remember your fairy tales. Spells are used for breaking enchantments as well for inducing them. And you and I have need of the strongest spell that can be found to wake us from the evil enchantment of worldliness which has been laid upon us for nearly a hundred years. "
Think using imaginations until you can see with your heart. yup!
We do see that our life as CHRISTIANS haha! is to know that everything we read in scriptures is true! and its for us to come to know it is really the truth. you may sing "the truth, the light , the way" but do you really believe in it?? we may discover the task for us is for us solely to accomplish. WE have so much around us, happening all around us... inside outside.. everywhere.. But we have to find our courage!
The hour is late! and you are very much needed by God! (otherwise He wouldn't gone to the cross for you!..use your common sense.He died so that we can have our heart and sets us free) so much hangs on the balance... where is ure heart now? where is it?
Remember, the Enemy will try all ways to make u busy to let you be weary and ignore the heart, to wound you deeply till you sometimes will not want a heart,to twist theology so you will despise the heart. Of course then your heart be in fierce and great battle cause it is the most precious to God. Without heart, you cannot have faith! in other words, without your heart, you cannot have a life!! The question now, did Jesus kept his promise? What have he done for out heart?
ifs your heart is not of the right attitude, not of the right place, repent before Him, pray for ure eyes to be opened to the unseen.. pray guys! PRAY...
Also, i was listening to phil pringle and he said this, God says that His yoke is light.. but many of us regard the things that we ought to do as a duty... thus we get heavy hearted and very restless.. but hey din God say His yoke is light? if its by your strength you do things, and which yoke are you carrying? the church? yours? your ministry? or His??! cast ure cares on Him, are you able to do it yet? are you able to carry His works through you and not your supposed to do list work from yourself? think about it.. and learn to tap into His strength, His presence, His power.. learn guys.. there is so much on so little! why wun you listen and see! and taste the goodness of God.. Let Him control you instead of you running to the things that you 'want to accomplish' come on! arent you a little silly for this? HUH?
