Exodus 14v14

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14

Were living in a world where everything is go, go, go. There’s no stopping. You have to continue on in the fast lane. Problems arise and we just keep going on and on. We think were okay but realistically were just digging the hole deeper and deeper. The Lord is right beside you willing to help but most of the time we’re focused on other things and Satan is keeping us so busy that we have no time to think of God or turn to him. Satan has a great trick to keep us all in the fast lane. We have to stop and clear his covering from over our eyes. The covering of, ‘keep them so busy so they’ll forget God.’ All we have to do is be still and God will fight for us and set us free of the boundaries of the fast lane. God bless

Exodus 14v13

Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you. Exodus 14:13

We all go to school, work or places were we have connections to people that don’t know God. We all want God to come into them places in a way so that so many people give there lives to him. God will use us to reach those people. This verse gives us a little guide of what to do. First of all don’t be afraid to show you’re a Christian. Don’t be afraid to stick up for him. And secondly stand firm for God. Stick up for God and show that you love him. Build your faith on the rock so Satan can’t easily destroy it. Do this and you will start to see God moving within them places. Stand up and Stand firm for God. And then watch what he does. God bless

Exodus 14v13

Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you. Exodus 14:13

When you’re going through a hard time don’t worry about it. The Lord is there right beside you. All you have to do is ask him to help you out and he’ll step in. The Lord will take your problems away from you. He’ll keep you safe and look after you. Don’t worry!

Exodus 14v12

Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, “Leave us alone: let us serve the Egyptians?” It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert! Exodus 14:12

The Israelites were lead by God out of Egypt to the desert, yet when they got there they thought they were in trouble. They didn’t know that God was going to split the Red Sea and let them get away. God knew what was happening, and what was going to happen. I was talking about how he wasn’t subject to time and was outside of time a few nights ago, so he knew that they were going to get away safely. At that stage the Israelites thought of heading back to their old way of life. Being slaves again. They didn’t think about what they could be. They were content on staying were they were. I tell you not to be content with our relationship with God. I tell you to go forward and keep going forward so that you can become who you’re a meant to be. Don’t settle with your walk with God being like a grain of sand. Go for the pearl. God bless

1 Corinthians 13v26

If one part suffers every part suffers with it; If one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it. 1 Corinthians 13:26

We are the body of Christ and this is how it should be. If one of us is going through a hard time then everyone should be there beside them as if it were them having the hard time. And the only way to be 100% caring for everyone is to have a relationship sp great with God that you start to care for what he cares for. When someone is being honoured you should rejoice and not be jealous. You have your own gift that that suits you. If you become jealous of other peoples gifts you neglect your own gift. Instead you should use your own gift with the best of your ability. Don’t be like the guy with one talent and bury it because you didn’t have five. Use our gift and use it well. Finally if you look at your own church, is it like this? Is the fellowship so good that everyone is close to everyone, like a giant family? Is everyone caring for each others needs? Don’t just go to church. Be the church! God bless

Exdous 11v6

…worse than there has ever been or ever will be again. Exodus 11:6

We live in a 3D world and it’s hard to think about something like 4D. Just because it’s hard to think about doesn’t mean it isn’t real. I think I better explain what 4D is. It’s the same as 3D only time is added in as well. Confused? Same here but you just have to accept it. It’s like a 2D man thinking about 3D. He’d be really confused and think it would be impossible. But we know it isn’t as were 3D. So God could be 4D or maybe even more than that. Nobody knows. But the Bible would seem to back it up. The verse says, ‘or ever will be.’ I want to talk about that bit. The main point is that God is outside of time. He is not subject to time. He knows what’s going to happen next. Isn’t it great that God knows what’s going to happen next? He even knows our future and more about us that we do about ourselves

Exodus 9v22

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand towards the sky so that hail will fall all over Egypt – on men and animals and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt. Exodus 9:22

We see God using angels or talking to men in their dreams or directly to people in the Bible. He could have done the same here, but he didn’t. He used Moses. The hail didn’t just fall down because Moses stretched out his hand. It was the LORD that sent it. He didn’t need Moses to stretch out his hand towards the sky. Why then did he ask him? It’s because he loves to use us. He uses us when he doesn’t need to. He picks us to do certain things that he could just simply do himself. He could save himself a lot of bother by doing it himself but he uses us because he loves us. Make sure to listen to what he wants you to do and then do it.

The importance of a still mind

Here Shifu is getting worried by the thought of Tai Lung escaping from prison. He doesn’t see how Tai Lung could escape by sending Zeng to the prison to make sure he doesn’t escape. Of course this is the thing that does make Tai Lung escape. Oogway tells him, ‘Your mind is like this water, my friend, when it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see, but if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear.’ Satan agitates us so that we can’t see God as clearly as we normally do. This makes it harder to focus our life around God. Sometimes we just have to stop and take a break, so that our mind can settle so we can see God clearly again and focus our life around him. God bless

Destiny

Let me remind you of that line Oogway said. ‘One often finds his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.’ Sometimes we do something to avoid being tempted by Satan. If it is of our own doing it may be the very thing that tempts you. Seek God and ask him to lead you away from these temptations. Don’t try to do it yourself. God bless

Nothing is impossible!

Remember what I told you last week about me being healed? Have faith and everything is possible. If you need and stories to build that faith ask me or anyone round you. I have had some really amazing, unbelievable things that have happen to me in the last year and a half I can tell you to strength your faith. I also have other stories from other people that have really helped me in faith and can do the same to you. Just believe in him and if it works with his will then it shall be done. God bless

Believing

Follow this link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leEBEGHV6No&feature=related and watch from 2.19 to 3.33

Shifu says how the peach could not defeat Tai Lung. He was really saying that Po couldn’t defeat him. Oogway told him maybe it could, but if he was willing to guide it, to nurture it, to believe in it. I ask you to find someone older than you and younger than you that you can trust and believe in. Ask the older wiser person to help you along in your walk with God. Chose someone that you know will believe in you. And also help and believe in that younger person and teach them wisdom in Christ. God bless

There are no accidents!

Oogway says that there are no accidents. And although he is a turtle from a kid’s film he is right. Everything happens for a reason. My friend broke his leg on one of the first days of his Exodus trip in a car crash. He just couldn’t understand why God let it happen. There he was, trying to help others for God and the next thing he’s in a plane heading back home. When his group came home they told him how the head of the Muslim church had became a Christian as he saw how little injuries they had after the crash. He knew how bad the crash was and was amazed how they only got a broken leg. There are no accidents!

Today is a gift

Follow this link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leEBEGHV6No&feature=related and watch from 0.55 to 1.28

Sometimes we can just be so concerned on what we did yesterday and what were doing tomorrow we forget about today. The saying that Oogway used is, ‘Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.’ We can’t change yesterday. So why be concerned on something you’ve done yesterday? Pray for forgiveness and stop worrying. We can’t see to tomorrow. We never know what will happen. We cannot change anything as we haven’t got there yet. But today we live. Today is a gift gave to us by the grace of God. Don’t waste today. Use it for God as if it were your last, because it may actually be your last. God bless

Wanting what others have

Follow this link,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leEBEGHV6No&feature=related and watch from the start of the video to 0.55

Here we see Po saying how rubbish he is. He says he isn’t like the rest of the five. He hasn’t got claws or wings….  He says he thinks he should quit and go back to his normal life. He was just looking at the others. He saw they’re gifts and knew he hadn’t got them. He didn’t realise that he had his own gift. He just didn’t know about it so he couldn’t use it. You didn’t see the rest of the five complaining about not having others gifts. You didn’t see the tiger complaining on how she didn’t have wings. Instead she found her gift and used it. She found out what worked for her and use it.  Don’t look at other peoples gifts. It’s pointless! God made you different from everyone else and has given you a gift that matches you. A gift that only you can get the best out off. If you had someone else’s gift but was still you, you’d find that the gift was as good because you wouldn’t be able to use it in the same way. It wouldn’t suit you. Find your own gift that God has gave you and use it. In using this gift God will bless you and all those around you. God Bless

Important!! Please read for this weeks verses!

I’m away on Camp Ireland this week and there is no signal there and I wont get my free messages so i have posted them on to this and they will be loaded up at 4am every morning until next Sunday.

This week I’ve decided to base it around a kids film called Kung Fu Panda. There will be a video clip each day along with a short written bit. There are a few names that you will have to familiarise yourself with if you don’t know them.

First of all there is the Panda who is called Po.

Then there’s a small mouse like thing called Shifu.

And the turtle called Oogway.

These are the three characters that are in the videos and when i talk about them I will use there names.

True reconciliation does not consist in merely forgetting the past – Nelson Mandela

To completely forgive someone we don’t just forget what they did to us. That’s part of forgiveness but a true reconciliation is more than that. We have to forget what they did to us and then we move on. We act as if it never happened. Instead of revenge or not talking to them you have to continue talking to them as before and repay what they did to you back with good. Forgiveness is a hard topic as you have to love people with an unearthly love. It is against our nature to pay evil with good, but then our nature is sin. Don’t live by your nature, live by God’s. Forgiveness isn’t just about the past or present. It’s also about the future.

In my country we go to prison first and then become President – Nelson Mandela

It’s not always easy being a Christian. Sometimes I get slagged off for being one and on top of that since I became one I’ve had Satan on my back, trying to take it away from me. We have, and are still going to go through some hard times here on earth, just for being a Christian. Through being tempted and then being disappointed in ourselves for letting God down again. We all fail and it’s like being in prison. Thinking you’re a failure and God won’t love you anymore. Let me tell you this. He does love you and you’re not a failure. Jesus wouldn’t have died on the cross for you if he didn’t love you and didn’t think that there was hope for you joining him in heaven. He died on the cross so that you could reach heaven because he loves you and sees you as a sinless winner. He sees you as someone that he’s proud of. Yes, you may feel as if you have Satan is locking you away in prison now, but someday you will reach were you want to be. God Bless

After climbing a great hill one only finds that there are many more to climb – Nelson Mandela

Life isn’t always easy. There are piles of times when you have to struggle through. My advice for you is just to keep your head down and continue on. Take one step at a time and when you reach the top of the great hill in your life then you can afford to look back. It’s good to just take dome time out and look back and see how far you’ve come in your walk with God. I encourage you to take that time every so often  just to take a look back on things and use that to help you drive on ahead. And as you reach the top of that great hill you shall only find more that you will have to climb. Just take one at a time. Think ahead and you may just get fed up and turn back. Don’t be a quitter!

Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated – Nelson Mandela

If you haven’t been set free by Jesus here on earth you cannot enter into the contract of heaven. So it is important that we go out and show God’s love in the most practical ways as we can. By talking in their own language so that our words, with the help of God, will go straight to their hearts. And no matter what church we go to we are all going towards the same thing. We are all working for God, even though we may have different views of him. You’re Christianity and mine cannot be separated. Religion doesn’t matter. It’s just mans own thoughts of God. It’s not important. It’s the relationship that’s important. God bless
