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!!
