the fight... on the Adelaide front.

Well today was another day off for me, because of the hot weather.
During the day i felt really tired and flat... spending a lot of the day relaxing and sleeping and having sometime with God....
I was reflecting on what one of my friends said when we were on our way back from Melbourne ... He said that in Melbourne he could fully feel a spirit of oppression, which he doesn't feel in Adelaide...
This got me thinking & praying about why we don't feel/sense/see the problems or the fight in Adelaide, like my friend did in Melbourne.
One reason is simply there is more people in Melbourne, which makes the problems bigger.
However as i was thinking/praying about it, I had a sense that the main reason is cause the enemy has done a good job in hiding the problems, putting blinders not only over the eyes of the world, but also the church. Cause there is problems and a fight going on in Adelaide, it just isn't visiable,unless we are looking for it. We can also be blind to the problems, hurts in our life that we need to deal with, that we need to hand over to God and recieve His healing from it.
Also there also seems to be like a spirit of sleepyness/drowsyness/lazyness over Adelaide, there is so many that are tired or just want to sleep, or have awesome ideas, but can't be bothered doing them, and saying "i'm to lazy to do it".
I think t ese things are linked, the sleepyness and lazyness are part of the reason we are blind to the problems and fight in Adelaide. I say we, cause i find i battle with this as well.
So i pray that God will keep my spirit aware of this fight, and through Christ my eyes will see more and more of the fight around me, and the hurts in me that need healing. So that i will become the person that God created me to be.

I pray that your eyes/spirit through Christ will be aware of tthe fight around you, that you'll grow fully into the person He created you to be.

Keep you're eyes open focused on Christ, and fight the battle raging around you.

soup run

Tonight at the soup run was great... i got to say hi to a number of people that i have met before, 2 of which i haven't seen since i left for Vancouver. I got to catch up with them. One who is physically disabled has moved back to Melbourne and is just over for a Holiday. The other is an Aboriginal woman, who had just got back from Canberra... She was sharing her story there... This lady came back to my place, to chat some more, and want me to pray with her... Which was cool...
Also there was an answer to pray from last week... one of the guys that i know from the soup run, had a bad week not last week but the week before, and last monday i told him i would pray that he had a better week and he did.... It was only a simple pray, but God still listened. He cares about His kids... and answers us.
So i praise God for speaking through me tonight and touching people lives through me.
Praise the Lord, He is working and moving in Adelaide.

Keep fighting the fight with Christ, even when you don't see the results, cause Christ is doing stuff, it may take a while for us to see the results with our human eyes, Christ works from the inside out... So be encouraged... Continue in the fight, faithfully fighting.

Summer heat.

Well it is summer now in Australia..... and in Adelaide we have nearly had our first fully week of temptures above 32 degrees.... Today it got up to 34 degrees celious and at the moment it is 31 degrees and it is nearly 6pm...... and it is going to stay above 32 until after tuesday....
This means a few things... 1. I may loose a couple of days of work (i was already cancelled today). 2. My place will get hot inside... therefore not having any relief from the heat... It is usually hot inside after the 3rd or 4th day of consective days of hot weather...
By the way for those that don't know Adelaide, this is a dry heat.... and we can often have dust storms, from northly winds that come off the desert that is easily a couple of hundred of Kms away....
I don't what it is with hot weather.... but my body doesn't want to do anything, except hid away inside somewhere where it is cool.... the beach is appealing... but not fun by oneself....
It is on these days where i have to be more disciplined, to spend time one on one with God. And sometimes it seems to hard.... Then i am reminded that i am with God where ever i am, and He loves to spend time with me.... And i love it as well, i just have to get over that first part of making my body to get behind my spirit, and not allow my body to control my life.... This body behind spirit thing can be hard at times, especially when we are starting to enforce it... however the rewards are great and awesome.... It brings us closer into a deeper relationship with Christ. I am longing to come into deeper and deeper relationship with Christ, each day, and to know Him more and more each day. That i will experience Christ love, freedom, grace and power more and more every day...... That people will see Christ in me when they meet me, that i would be His faithful vessel....
Anyway i'm going, writing this has stirred me up to spend some time with Christ.

May God reveal Himself to you more and more.

Lux.

History makers

History makers by delirous

Is it true today that when people pray
Cloudless skies will break; Kings and Queens will shake
Yes it's true and I believe it,
I'm living for you

Is it true today, that when people pray
We'll see dead men rise and the blind set free
Yes, it's true and I believe it
I'm living for you

I'm gonna be a History Maker in this land
I'm gonna be a speaker of truth to all mankind
I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna run
Into your arms, into your arms again
Into your arms, into your arms again

Is it true today that when people stand
With the fire of God and the truth in hand
We'll see miracles, we'll see angels sing
We'll see broken hearts making history
Yes it's true and I believe it
I'm living for you

On Sunday, I went to Marion Corps, where I was priledged to see on of my friends make a covenant with God, in becoming a Senior Soldier in The Salvation Army. We sang the song that's above, cause she wanted it as a part of her testimony. My friend really wants to be a history maker, and knows thar the only real way of making history is through Christ... That when God's people pray, and allow God to use them as answers to their own prays, people will be changed, people will be healed, we will see miracles, and more. Jesus said we will do greater things than Himself, because of the Holy Spirit being with us.
Lord stir us to pray...to pray earnestly and in the Spirit and truth.... And be willing for You to use us
