YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL!

During the last 3 years I have come to understand what it means to be in a relationship with God. With that however came a lot of questions. Who am I? Why am I here? What am I supposed to do? What is God's purpose for me? Why do the things that happen to me, happen to me? To be honest most of the time I felt completely overwhelmed and thoroughly confused.

I started asking questions like: Why am I not going anywhere? What is it that's holding me back? I read numerous books; watch so many DVD’s, started reading my Bible, discussed life with good friends and started asking God for answers to my questions. Once again God showed His perfect timing and faithfulness.

First through various means He helped me to understand who I am to Him. As a child I was very shy and did not have too much confidence in myself. Coming out of a divorce, I had no confidence at all in myself. Suddenly I was faced with all kinds of very scary situations. I had to do everything and I had to do it all alone. I learnt that I was beautiful and valuable to God, that I was loved and not alone, that I do not have to live in fear and that I was looked after in every possible way. I learnt what my identity is in God. I am a daughter of the King of all kings and therefore I stand in line to inherit all that is His. 

I found peace, but I still had no directions. It still felt like there was more to my life. I just didn't know what. I learnt that I was made for a purpose, but what was that purpose? A while back I read a book Miles Munroe wrote about the purpose of women and I started to understand why I was the way I was. I started to understand what it meant to submit as a women and why it is so important to submit. I realised that to submit did not make me vulnerable or weak. It allows the power God gave me as a woman to come out. It allows me to fulfil the role I was made for by God. It doesn't make me weak, it makes me stronger. The world has twisted what was meant by God as a helper to all men into something that degrades and humiliates women all over the world. We were told that we are the weaker sex and therefore we were entitled to less, but God made men and women equal and together unstoppable. Why do you think satan targets our marriages? He knows that if he can destroy the godly relationship between men and women he can destroy the power God gave men and women to rule on earth and therefore to rule over satan.

Finally after 3 years I understood myself as a woman. Scary when you realise I am almost 50 years old. Now what to do with myself was my next question. I can feel it in myself that there is more to life than just getting up every morning and trying to survive. Again I read a book written by Miles Munroe about our potential and once again a little part of my scrambled brain became unscrambled. I have to tell you the more I dig the clearer things become. I really can start to see why the bible says that what is wise to the world is foolishness to God and vice versa. For the first time in my life I feel like I got to the starting point. Before I was running around like a deranged person not knowing where I am and where I should be. 

I came to the conclusion that first and foremost I am a mother, made to nourish and love my children and for that matter all children. The world told me I should be a business woman and a provider, but God said I am a helper and nourisher. Second the world told me to take, but God said to give. If God tells you to do/give something He will also give you the ability to fulfil it. Thirdly the world told me to advocate human rights, but God told me to advocate the good news about the gospel. 

Jesus came to earth to minister and to serve. I often felt guilty because I never felt comfortable to go out and talk to people about God. So many people don't want to listen when you talk about God. I realised that even if they don't want to listen they will look. People will look at you and what they see will make an impact. If they like what they see they will want to know more about what they see. If I learnt anything it is that people who have the Holy Spirit in them are different. They look different and they respond different to life and its challenges. They have a peace and freedom about them that defies the problems they experience in their everyday life. I wanted what I saw in them and eventually I started asking about God. It gave someone the opportunity to start talking to me about God. If people can see God's reflection in me they will come to me and start to ask about God and then God will give me all I need to tell them about the awesome God I serve. The more I spoke about God and experienced Him in my life the easier it became to talk about Him to others.

So for now I know that I want to show God to the world through the things I do and the person I am. I know that I want to make a difference in the lives of the people I come into contact with, my children, family, friends and acquaintances. I know that I want to teach my children their full potential in God and not what the world tells them their potential are. I want them to understand who they are in God and what that means. I want to help them determine what their purpose is by teaching them to understand who their Source is. I want my children to be spirit people and not soul people. I want them to be led by their spirit attached to the Spirit of God and not to be led by their senses and intellect. 

I also know that I want to serve people and that it means I will have to put my dreams on paper and work out a plan of how to reach it and then get off my butt and do it. I know that whatever God has put in my heart and thoughts, I can achieve through faith and determination. I also know now that God will only give me what I want bad enough to give my life for. I also know that the earth and all that is on it was meant to be a resource and not to become a god and that my potential was meant to be shared. I understand know that life really is not about the material things but truly about how much of God you can allow in yourself. When you seek the things of God He really does give you the rest.

God gave as all the same potential that is in Him, because He made as according to His likeness, but He also gave us certain conditions to live by. He is the One that made us and He is the one that gave us our potential. He is also the only One that can fix us when we break. Just like a TV cannot work without a power supply we cannot work without Christ in us. We can try but we will end up broken every single time. The world is full of broken people who refuse to read the manual that came with humankind; instead they try the shortcut only to come up short every single time.

Unless you understand what the purpose is of an object you will never know the potential of that object and the potential of an object gets determined by its maker. Do you know your full potential? Do you know who your Maker is? Instead of being a person whose full potential goes with him to his grave the day he dies, why you don’t find out exactly what your purpose are and what you can achieve by reading your manual and getting to know your Maker. I know that for the first time I have a clue as to why I am here. I know that I have just begun to understand my full potential and I know I still have a long way to go before I will start to reach that potential, but at least I have a starting point now. I cannot wait to see what God has planned for me. God really does reveal Himself to those who earnestly seek Him. 

When you start to see and understand who God is, life really starts to make sense and not in the way the world tells us. God's way really is the perfect and only way, but He is a gentleman. You need to choose to read the manual and to follow its instructions before you will be able to operate in the way that you were intended to operate. Only then you can become all you were meant to be.

LOVE SPELLS....

I have written this blog on why affair marriages don’t work. My intention was to warn people against interfering in the relationships and marriages of others. As a result I have been getting numerous comments from people telling me how they got their lovers/husbands back using the services of a spell caster. As a Christian it makes my hair stand on end.

The Bible is very explicit about witchcraft. You only have to read Deut 18:9-12, Deut 17:2-5, 1Chron 10:13-14, Ezek 13:18, Gal 5:19-21, Acts 16:16-19, James 4:2-3, Rev 21:8, Rev 22:15 to see how God feels about witchcraft and what the consequences are for people using witchcraft. These verses tell us that witchcraft:

·         Is detestable to God

·         Leads to physical and spiritual death

·         Brings destruction on yourself and the people you use it on

·         Is lying to and ensnaring the souls of people

·         Is to love a lie – language of deceit

·         Demonically inspired, occultism

·         Is to not inherit the Kingdom of God

·         Is selfish – to seek your own pleasure

·         Is to be fated for the fiery lake of burning sulphur

Now a lot of people do not believe the Word of God, so they will not be worried about what the Word say. So I decided to see what the people that cast these spells have to say. But first let’s see what is the definition of a spell.

·         To cast out an invisible net (the spell) unto a person/s to use the person/s to the spell casters advantage

·         Putting magic on someone so that they will be under your spell and do what you want

·         Oxford – a person or creature with magical powers

·         English – a spell is a situation in which events are controlled by a magical power

·         Longman – a piece of magic someone does, to put a spell on someone = a piece of magic to change someone

Synonyms – allure, bewitch, charm, enrapture, entice, grab, hex, hypnotise, magnetise, to take, voodoo

Antonyms – bother, disenchant, disgust, repel, repulse

So I think it is safe to say that casting a spell on someone involves magick/witchcraft.

Now let’s look at what spell casters say a love spell is:

Love spell:

·         It is closely connected with telepathy.

·         A powerful psychokinetic influence on a person and his thoughts, in order to excite in him the feeling of attraction to another person (subject of love spell/ the bewitched).

·         The object is communicating images, pictures and emotions/memories connected with strong feelings of love to the subject/bewitched.

·         The power and duration of the spell depends on the skills of caster and the will of the subject.

·         Rituals and words, as well as objects belonging to the subject (nail clippings, hair) or drinking menstrual blood from the person who wants spell cast will help concentrate the energy and make the spell more powerful.

·         You get white (not harmful) and black (harmful to family) spells.

What can you expect to feel when a love spell is cast upon you?

·         You feel the influence but can’t do anything about it.

·         Increase heart rate, unable to sleep, feels like everything hurts, more active, have more energy, flashes of light, vivid dreams, sudden unexpected memories, loss of concentration. These symptoms normally disappear never to come back again.

·         Feeling of euphoria in the presence of customer, increased sex drive, a state of altered consciousness.

·         In the case of a white spell – strong affection, adoration, love and sense of intimacy for customer.

·         In the case of a black spell – apathy, recurring colds, hair loss, feelings of wrongness, irritations

Normally when you want to return a loved one the spell increases the available energy channels between people through witchcraft. The longer you were apart the more difficult the spell will be. Some spells even require animal sacrifices.

So why is love spells so wrong:

v  It interferes in the free will

v  It is basically love under your compulsion – not true love

v  You create a love that does not exist

v  It will be with you forever – even if the person you put the spell on turns out to be wrong for you. You can end up being stuck in a relationship you do not want or can even turn out to be dangerous to you e.g. stalker, abuser, ectr

v  Even in witchcraft it is a taboo magick

So why is using love spells, to bring a lover back, taboo? Because the intention is to take away/influence another person’s free will. It is a negative spell and only temporary.

Also there are consequences for all parties involved:

Consequences to the bewitched: Because you are invading his mind/free will, the natural reaction will be to try and protect himself. This will lead to nervous stress, emotional exhaustion and lethargy as he tries to fight this invasion. Eventually it will cause his immune system to weaken, causing physical disease and can even put a curse on the person. So tell me again why you would do this to someone you claim to love?

Consequences to the witch/spell caster: It is a negative spell and can go back to the witch spell caster. It is basically a modified curse, and can attack any weakness the witch/spell caster might already have. The witch/spell caster can become the curse.

Consequences to the customer: Can put a curse on the person who wants the spell cast – if the bewitched does not turn out to be Mr/Mrs Right you can be attach to that person or vice versa for the rest of your life. Also your loved ones and your children may end up paying the wages – in the form of curses and even death.

In conclusion: Why would anyone bring back a lover/partner, when that person does not want to be with you? They chose to leave you! Why try and force a person to love you? Surely the reason for your happiness is first and for most because someone is with you because that person chose to be with you. Do you honestly think that you will not always know your partner is only with you because he was deceived into being with you? What do you think that knowledge will eventually do to you? Then there is the fear that he might find out about your deceit. Do you think he will still love you? He might stay because he may not have a choice, but he will hate you for it. Also what about the possible pain/trouble you can bring upon your close family and children. How will you feel if your child has to die or be cursed for what you did?

Is it really worth it in the end? I believe that forcing a person to be with you in this way CAN only end in disaster. At the end of the day nothing about what originally caused the break-up of the relationship have changed. All the problems are still there and neither one of the people involved have changed. It is a quick solution and in the end it will be a short solution that won’t bring about happiness. In principle I refuse to be with someone who does not want to be with me. I will rather be alone than look at someone every day and know that I had to force him to be with me. I might be alone, but I’m NOT DESPERATE!

Not even God interferes with a man’s free will, what then gives you the right to do so? Do you really think you can get away with it? If you do not believe in God, then there is always karma. 

 Ezekiel 13:18 “What sorrow awaits you women who are ensnaring the souls of my people, young and old alike. You tie magic charms on their wrist and furnish them with magic veils. Do you think you can trap others without bringing destructions on yourselves?”

 

                             You are free to choose,

                                but you are not free

                             from the consequences

                                      of your choice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FAITHFULNESS

 

September 27 it will be exactly 3 years since my divorce. Looking back now I cannot belief I made it. If you had told me 3 years ago that my divorce will turn my life into something so positive and good I would have told you to get loss because you don't know what you are talking about. I can still remember the excruciating pain and betrayal I felt after I found out about my ex's affair. The days after and the months following, seeing any chance of us reconciling disappearing, was in one word awful. Then after I sort of managed to pull myself together again I had to deal with my children's pain and loss. The anger and bitterness I felt was at times all consuming. It was the worse time of my life. So yes I would have told you to mind your own business, but probably in much stronger terms.

Luckily I had help. Beautiful friends, the best family a person can ask for and God. God send help even before I asked. He provided even before I knew how to trust Him for it. He gave peace when I needed it, but was too emotionally drained to ask for it and most of all He gave me hope. In the beginning of my journey with God I heard a often, how faithful God is and boy did I come to know just HOW faithful. Every trial I had to face confirmed His faithfulness.

Just this morning I thought for just a second "How am I going to make it through this month?", but in the next second I remembered who my Source is and the way it made me feel just stunned me again. I cannot describe the sense of peace I felt at that moment. I did not only feel peace at that moment but awe and wonder at the awesomeness of God. It blows my mind and will probably always blow my mind.

I have been praying a lot for my son to develop a passion for God's Word. He wanted to have a relationship with God but at the same time he thought it would take all the fun out of life. He didn't yet realise that having a relationship with God only intensifies the fun in life. So we went to this service where our pastor talked about why bad things happen to us. Something happened in that service, because when we got back he went for his bible. I was stunned to put it mildly. The next day I bought him an easier to understand bible and his been reading it every chance he gets. Already God is showing His faithfulness to him. 

Wow it is wonderful to see how God is starting to show Himself to my son and all he had to do was look for God. He already gave his heart to God but he didn't want to give his all to God. I am so excited because I see myself in him 3 years ago. Already in small little things he is starting to experience God's presence. Already on two occasions he asked God's advice and got his answer in a way that proofed to him that God does here his prayers. For the first time he heard God and God confirmed what he heard. Already I am starting to see a subtle change in his behaviour. Small little things for now but massive for his future. He's starting to get God. Starting to enjoy getting to know God and all because God is faithful. Louis Giglio talks about an awakening starting to happen when we get to know God and that is what I am seeing in him. A boy who was asleep and is now starting to wake up to God and His Word.

I asked and God gave. Just this week I received a comment from a lady, going through the hurt of betrayal, who asked God to give her peace and He gave it to her. I can go on and on telling you about God's faithfulness; not only in my life but in all the people I know who trust in God to supply in their needs. The word abundance comes to mind. People who often have nothing and yet have everything. It just makes me realise that no matter how bad things look, God is always in control and He has a plan. He knows what he wants to draw on your canvas and He knows exactly where He wants you on that canvas. All we have to do is to seek Him. He promises that when you seek Him, He will show Himself to you. What a privilege it had been and still is to get to know God and invite Him into my home, my life and the lives of my family. Every day I get up and face life knowing that through Jesus everything is possible, I expect His miracles, small and big and I have found a joy in life that surpasses anything I have ever felt. I have come home!
