L.I.F.E Living In Fulness Everyday

I saw leaves on a tree, and I saw something I had not saw before. The Lord said to me “See the leaves on that tree you’re looking at?” I said “Yes I do”. So he told me that the leaves I saw on that tree, he wants me to continually have more experiences of Him in my life. After he said that, my life was not only changed, my day which is today is blessed.

So today brothers and sisters, I encourage and pray that the Lord will take all of us to newer experiences of him and know that we are fully able to reach the mountain tops in the way we can experience him. Be blessed everyone.

Genesis 28:15- “I will be with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
 

As soon I read that verse, something sparked in my spirit that I could very well be one of the leaders God is going to use in this move to come, as he works on my spiritual house, and to get the word deeper into my spirit. I couldn’t even say anything because of the impact it put on my life even to stop me in my tracks like that. I know when God speaks, he does it for a reason. This was one of those reasons he stopped me. The land that God is raising me up now is in WGAI, and that will be the land I will go back to to testify the God Goodness that he has done in my life. 

Over this past month, I have seen God’s goodness happening in my life by my english and math grades excelling. Everyday I ask the ALL Faithful ONE to help me get through everyday.

The Lord is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, he will be found by you. 2 Chronicles 15:2b

I have seen this scripture been more real in my life than ever, even before being accepted into this program. The way how it was all put into place for me even to be here right now. Although I had my times mixed up for today, I wasn’t really supossed to be at school until 12 pm. I went up to K216 and asked for a schedule for Andrew’s class.

When I entered into the OLC (Open Learning Center) at Humber, I decided to figure out the mark I have in that class. I added up all the marked assignments, and I found out that I was getting 83.64%. I thanked God for the outstanding effort that he has given to me, having all my assignments done on time, and 95% of the time in class.

Be encouraged and be blessed as you place the Lord always before you. You will see the goodness of the Lord poured out in your life, in the Land of the Living- Psalm 27:13.

Being someone who just graduated from High School this past mid June, from North Peel Secondary/Judith Nyman Secondary School, didn’t think that college would be in my plans or future. It’s been very anticipating to start this year at Humber College. The school that I went to did not have academics. I decided that I wanted to go straight to college.

My mom and I went to an orientation, for just myself on April 29th at Humber, on the day of the first day of the UFC Fan Expo I did’nt get to go to. This course is for Academic Upgrading. What this does, instead of going back for another year of High School, you can go straight to college, pursue your dreams like I have of my own.

When I was there, the teacher who was running the course, gave us a sheet having options on what courses you would like to improve in. I chose English and Math. Also, a two page quiz, on random questions. One page asked: “What is your goal?”, and ”What do you want to accomplish in this course?”.

At first, the teacher that was running this course told everyone “If you think you are not ready to do this, then walk out of this class and come back when you feel you’re ready.” I was one of those people that wanted to walk out, but so happens there was a coffee shop on campus that my mom went to, and she told me to stay. Oh that was a whole boat load of fun for me… Yeah right, nervous as ever. There were about 25 people in the classroom that were trying to get into this course.

When it started, I put my head down a little, and I prayed a small prayer asking God help me to get through this 1 hour session, and thankfully he did. The teacher came over and said to me, “Don’t worry, don’t be nervous”. That there was a confromation from God telling me that I did not need to be nervous.

He told everyone that they would get a call the next Friday, but they called me on the first Tuesday of May, and told me I was accepted into Humber. I was estatic and blessed to hear I actually got accepted. I thank God that he prepared the way for me, and that was his plan for my life. I’m still a little bit nervous, but now I can go with God by my side as I let God to be my God, and be my strength in all things.

Going through life with God is more than amazing, seeing how he’s working in my life. It comes from a Casting Crowns song called ”I Know You’re There”. I felt God saying: Write this for those who are going through their own struggles and challenges in life like myself. We all have trials, challenges and circumstances, and I know they get hard sometimes. He is the air we breathe everyday, and gives us the power to overcome adversity in any level.

God wants us all to know that He is ALWAYS there for us, even though sometimes we may not see it. When we feel like were in the place of discouragement, God encourages and strengthens us with his word.

Psalms 139:7-8 “Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

Everywhere I go, I see you, and you see me what I do, and what I don’t do. Wherever I am, You are. I can never flee from you. I know you’re there, and sometimes that’s the scary part. And that’s EVERYTHING I do and say.

In times like these when the waters are surging all around us, and still trusting in him, we can go before God and say this with a humble heart: ”Where are You, I know you’re there. I don’t see you. I don’t feel you. I can’t touch you. Where are you?”- Michael W. Smith.

We can have that certainty in our spirits that when we are humble before him, that we can experience his presence with us everywhere we go. This next scripture ties in with Psalms 139:7-8.

NIV: Psalms 139:23- Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Bible in Basic English: O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested.-  Psalms 139:23

God is with us wherever we go. He knows the destination where we will go, what we will do. Also searching our hearts of what we think with our minds, and what we will speak next, all at the same time. So the next time we try and do something that is not according or in line with God’s word, he is continually watches us every minute and every day we live.

(Prayer)

Lord, you see us, and you know us, and you know our every anxious thought. You know our every good and wrongdoing. Help us Lord to rid all anxieties, and the secret things in our hearts to be uncovered, that had a plan and a purpose to hold us back from knowing that you were there.

Test our spirits in the areas that need to be tested, be the air we breathe so that we may pass that test with: “well done good and faithful servant”, in Jesus name.

I haven’t blogged much in the last year, but I do trust everyone who reads this will be encouraged by this word, so that whenever the Lord leads you to do something, that you will “go” and “do” it when he says and to come when he says come. That may just mean to come to Him and get closer and personal in the word. Or about the going aspect, going to a particular place and minsiter someone th word who hasn’t heard it before, and being a blessing to that person. They may not understand fully what it’s about, but planting that seed, is the beginning of someone else drawing closer to God.

Just two Friday’s ago, I had an awesome night from the Youth/Young Adults service, and the Lord led one of our Pastors to mainly Matthew 8:8-10, and it was talking about The Faith of the Centurion. 

Matthew 8:5-10: vs.5- When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.

vs.6- “Lord”, he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering.”

vs.7- Jesus said to him, “I will go and heal him.”

Now these next few scriptures will line up with what I’m talking about. Here it is.

vs.8- The centurion replied, Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word and my servant will be healed.

vs.9- For myself I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go’, and he goes, ‘Come’, and he comes, ‘Do’, and he does it.

vs.10- When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those who were following him, “I tell you the truth, I have not seen such “great faith”.

Now, I was going through the word, and I came across what we were taught two weeks ago yesterday in Matthew 8:8-10, and yesterday I was listening to my IPod, and uniquely, it came across to Audio Adrenaline’s Hands and Feet song, it’s relaying that we as children of God are wanting to have that want to be his hands and feet in every aspect of our lives.

After I heard both the song and hearing the word, I felt that a new spark rose within me to have a ”such great faith” in Him to do whatever he calls me or commands me to do. I trust that will be your desire as well. Even Jesus was astonished to hear the words he heard. He goes on to say in vs. 10 “I have not seen such great faith”. When we have that strong of a faith and desire for Him to do his will, we can have the same response said back to us by him, or even better: “Well done, good and faithful servant” from Matthew 25:23 for doing the will of God.

Well this is the end of one of the many God is going to use me to write blogs about the blessings God will pour into your lives, as well my own, as he uses me to encourage everyone else who reads it. God’s blessings upon everyone!
