Rachels post

it's not debbie, it's her friend rachel ;) debbie asked me to right a blog so here i am ...

this evening we were in cafe nero and just randomly chatting - as you do. we were talking about the worship at our church compared to another one and saying how pants it was, and how the holy spirit doesn't come. We figured that the leader and the worship leader have to be in tune with one another so that the holy spirit can come. Cuz, someone can only teach to where they are, no-one can teach something that they havn't experienced or don't understand. And it's the same with worship, if a worship leader doean't worship then what on earth is the point in showing other people how to worship? And if the leader and the worship leader are both intune with the holy spirit, then the holy spirit is gonna be welcome to come to the congregation. right? He is going to turn up in a powerful way, and actually be wanted! Some churches only have one of the two. so they're half way there. it is vital to have both, as a pair - and if the worship leader and leader are both in tune with the spirit and each other then voila!!! - can't spell!!

Anyways - i wasn't supposed to talk about that - i was mean't to be doing it on us!! Rant over!!!

friends - friends are amazing!! ... i honestly think friends are the most important key of making someones personality. If it wasn't for all of my friends, then i wouldn't be the same person. full stop! ... friends are amazing - they can make you laugh or cry, happy or sad etc, they're there for you when you need someone to talk to, and are always there when we're feeling sad. I thank god every day for my friends. If i hadn't had a certain friend, i wouldn't have ever told someone i was a Christian, if i hadn't had another friend, i wouldn't be a Christian!! ... do you get what i mean? friends are what makes you you!!! HALLELUJAH FOR FRIENDS!!!!!

I'm done!!

thanks

Love ... well kinda love (I dont suppose you can call it love)

So ...

I don't really know how to write this, without including the peoples names, and all the details. I dunno where to begin either - but somehow Im going to end this post by saying how ridiculous some people are when they like other people, but dont say anything cos they're 'too scared', or 'dont know what to say???' or 'they might say no!!'

But sometimes it not even love, well to be honest I dont think it could be love if people have only known each other for 2 years or so. Other people will agree with me on this - strong love, is when love grows overtime. Weak love, is when its just an attraction.

To be honest I think this whole thing of 'going out' is ridiculous anyway. Whats the point of 'going out' with each other, if you dont think of you getting married in the future. People say oohh I love her so much, then next week people say ooo I never really liked her in the first place. How pathetic!

Anyways, I am just expressing my opinion! hehe

Over and out

Confirmation - Future

So now I'm an official Anglican ... well meant to be! I don't think I could ever be a proper Anglican, its all religious, which is not good cause that's not what Christianity is about. Which is a bit odd for me to say that cause that's what my Dad preaches, yet all the time people will complain: cos the worships too loud, or songs are too repetitive, or we don't sing enough hymns, or read enough of the liturgy.

I think all those comments are totally pointless, except I suppose if the worship is actually too loud. But the rest are ridiculous. If people think the lyrics of songs are repetitive they just check out Heaven "Holy, Holy, Holy Lord Almighty. Who was and is and is to come." And that's going on for eternity! Hymns aren't everything you know, there are some amazing words in some modern songs. Church is not all about reading liturgy and saying the stuff that half of the people have no idea what it means, and most of the rest are just saying cos they say it every Sunday. I never want to be grouped/stereotyped. I hate that!! I hate religion! The Devil tries to show people that Christianity is not about relationship, that its not about power, that its bout rules and regulations. Its the total opposite - its all about Jesus and having a relationship with Him! All about knowing him more intimately and deeply.

I was talking to William, and what he says, and does and who he is, is really making me realise how important it is to keep your eyes off the things of this world; to keep your eyes off distractions; to keep your eyes off religious things and to stay focused on Jesus, to keep in tune with Him and His voice at all times.

In the past 2 weeks I have had two prophecies, and words from God, off amazing people I love ... both of them said God is asking me if I am prepared to be pure for him, to be pure to walk with Jesus and let him use me to my full potential. However, I'm going to be totally honest, and say that I have recently found it really difficult to keep my eyes totally fixed on Jesus. To not worry about situations, to not worry about people, to not worry about my 'reputation'. School has been heavier on me lately, so its been easier to just feel like I'm stuck in a corner and just cry - which is what I did once at school. I pray that God teaches me the difficult lessons now, not in the future. So I can walk in my destiny instead of learning important lessons that I should have learnt ages ago. (I hope that makes sense)

Its so important, especially my generation, that they walk out of the worldly wisdom, worldly thinking, and remember that we have been born out of the supernatural realm and that we only live temporally on Earth. My generation has such a job! Wow! With what's around you, you can tell - drugs, alcohol, abuse, rape, self - harm, suicide, murders, paedophilia, vandalism, homeless, poverty, religion ... the list could go on ... war, debt, sickness, homosexuality, hatred. You know to list all of these, I am just looking at a list of the names of God and what God is, and saying the opposite. love, strong, righteous, deliverer, power, comfort, guide, healer, joy, Father.

We have all been called to fight for Justice. We have all been called to live for peace. We have all been called to love. We have all been called to stand for Jesus. We have all been called to live in Gods glory and reveal His heart to the lost.

Now if a 16 year old girl, who lives in Stourbridge can do it .... empowered by the Holy Spirit, ANYONE can do it!!

My goal in life

I suppose my main goal is to do what Jesus wants me to do ...
To fufill my destiny
To walk in my gifts
To walk in the prophetic
To lead people to Jesus
To have a lovely family
And thats it ....

11th October - life

I asked my friends today what I should write about. My friend Emily said, write about who you are, how you feel, what you dream of, abit about you, something you have noticed, why you do things. So here is the response to my buddy. The first question she said I should answer "Why are you a Christian?"
You know I think its great how everybody at school and around, knows that I am a Christian. Sometimes its ridiculous cos they will say "ooo Debbie you shouldn't be doing that, you're a Christian." But I suppose thats pretty cool, cause it always challenges you to stay on track with God and always makes you look at yourself. So Anyways, Why am I a Christian?
I suppose it helped that my parents are Christians, but that still didn't make me be who I am. The experiences that I have had in life have shaped who I am and what I believe. Nevertheless when I was in the darkest point in my life, I searched for God myself and asked him to change my life. And He has - Thats why I am a Christian. Because God saved me, I realise now what Jesus has done for me. The extent He paid just for me, and even if it was just me on the world, He still would have come and suffered and died for me. But how amazing is this - not only did He die for me, He rose again. I hear you say WHAT??? He was dead, then rose from the dead? YEAHH How AWESOME. You know everytime I take the wine at communion it always hits me, and the Holy Spirit always reveals to me new things. He always hits me with the power of Jesus. It says in the Bible, "The same Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead, lives in you." Now people say, "why do you shake at Church?" When the Holy Spirit comes over me, and reveals deep things, realising I have the same Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead, I shake.
---
Anyways, the next question is What does music mean to you?
Well music means alot to me, not only cos I play the piano, guitar and sing its cos its my natural being. We have been created to praise, created to worship. So thats what I love. You know in Heaven, constantly - the angels say "Holy, Holy Holy is the Lord Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come"
Thats worship, in Heaven thats all we will do. Worship God - and oh how amazing that will be!

I won the lyrics competition at Church

Haha ... I wrote this song around 2 years ago, maybe 3 at New Wine. It was my first attempt to write some lyrics properly and I think they're pretty good for first try. Anyways here is how it goes...

-Nails in your hands

Nails in your feet

Died on that cross

To set me free

-The pain you took

On that tree

You gave your life

And died for me

CHORUS

-You shed your blood

Gave me life

You rose again

Your awesome might

-You washed me

Whiter than a cloud

You took my sin

And threw it away

-Nails in your hands

Nails in your feet

Died on that cross

To make me clean

Song called Inheritance - by Ruth Chamberlain

I see your face, It's lovely
You hold your hand in mine
You tell me that you love me
You cause your face to shine
Upon the deepest places
My Spirit, where you dwell
Forever in these moments
You tell me all is well

CHORUS
And you show me love and mercy
And you cause my eyes to see
All the wonder of your kingdom
That is kept in Heaven for me
So I ak you now to come and free
Everything Im meant to be
Release my holy destiny
Please Jesus

I love to feel your presence
Your eyes that burn with fire
You take me up in glory
You cause me to go higher
I soar above with eagles
In pathways you have shown
I sit in Heavenly places
Eternally enthroned

So Jesus come and capture
My heart. I want to know
The river of your glory
And the throne from where it flows
In you is all my treasure
My essence through and through
Dear Jesus, I receive now
My inheritance in you.

Abit of revelation I had a while ago ...

29th March 2009

At Church this morning, I felt the heavens open, but people weren't stretching up or even had that longing to meet Jesus. All the songs were about when I stand in glory, we will see his face, and meeting him when we go to heaven when we die. But isn't it all about having that relationship with Jesus now. Seeing him now, having that hunger to see him face, to face.

I also noticed that St. Michaels Church believe in the word (well the majority of it) but never actually experience it, or step into that place because of Jesus' invitation. Dad spoke today on John 12:20-33, he was talking about what things have been defeated at the cross. He mentioned healing about once. I know we have to take under consideration that God sometimes takes people home, making us think that He hasn't 'healed' them, but God told us to stand on his word. When their was a storm and Jesus and his followers were in a boat. I believe he was teaching them and testing them.

Luke 8:22-25. "One day Jesus and his followers got into a boat, and he said to them, "Let's go across the lake." And so they started across. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep (what a coinsidence) A very strong wind blew p on the lake, causing the boat to fill with water, and they were in danger. The followers went to Jesus and woke him, syaing "Master. Master. We will drown" Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves. They stopped, and it became calm. Jesus said to his followers, "where is your faith?" The followers were afraid and amazed and said to each other "Who is this that commands even the wind and the water, and they obey him?""

Jesus taught about standing in faith and commanding even the wind and water to stop. The Bible says his followers, meaning all of us, his followers, should stand with Jesus and command things to calm in Jesus name.

This goes for healing aswell. The Church has been feed in a way that now they believe in healing they do not walk with the authority of Jesus commanding bodies to be healed. the Church has been taught so many times that God can heal. They have never seen with their own eyes that God does and will heal.

We get this theory/idea by using just our natural eyes. If we are constantly looking through the natural perspective, then we will not see God's plan/will/desire for us. Even sometimes we will go against what His word tells us. We see in the natural world that through science some cancer may be impossible to cure. But through our Spiritual eyes God's work and power is possible to heal any disease/illness. I was talking to a friend of mine from Coventry, his name is Jimmy, he reminded me that you need to open your spiritual eyes to see spiritual things (1 Thess) and reminded me that Healing is a Spiritual gift (Galatians 5:22) so what we can do is ask God to open our Spiritual eyes becuase no-one can understand or stand by God's work using their natural eyes/insights. AMEN
