In Christ Jesus

Today went to church and spent some time with Auntie Ivy discussing stuff for Children's Camp.. and things are looking good lah... :) hehe..we had dinner and Auntie Ivy was telling me some lame stuff... one of the things she said was that (King) Solomon had 300 prime ribs and 700 spare ribs... hahaha.. if u can guess wad she's talking abt and why it's so funny, just put it in the tag.. :P

Ok.. on a more serious note, here's what i sensed during my prayer time... i saw walls coming down and fire coming down to destroy the yokes off people... The Lord is doing a work of healing and breakthrough in the ministry... He's doing a work of deliverance.. He's releasing freedom and victory... All we have to do is jump in and begin to claim it for ourselves and for our lives... Here's the scripture:

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died -more than that, who was raised to life -is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For i am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 8:31-39 (emphasis mine)

As the Lord is bringing us to focus on Himself, He wants us all to remember what He has already done and how He has already won the victory. And as we abide in Him, as we allow Him to take over our lives and find our place in Christ Jesus, we have access to His victory, to His freedom, to being more than conquerors in His Name... That's how it works.. That's what it's all about.. it's very simple but true.. He has already won it and we have to learn how to take our place in Him and allow Him to live out His life through us and walk in that victory, walk in the abundant life that He has promised... It's an exchange- our lives for His, our ways for His, our own way of doing things for His way of doing things... It's all about surrender... It's about being in Him... Cos all things belong to Him and cos we are in Him, we have access to them...

It's about abiding in Him, walking in the Word of God.. walking in obedience to His will cos He is the Word of God and as we walk in Him, we'll have access to His life.. It's about understanding His lordship and us walking in obedience under His lordship over our lives... cos we experience all these in Christ Jesus our Lord... As we walk in His ways, that life and victory will be available for us... and none can separate us from our place in Christ... all of us can walk and live in this position, not just the "super spiritual" ones... and nothing around us, no matter what troubles we may be going through, can separate us from that right to access Jesus and be in Him... Think about it! This privilege is more wonderful than you think!

The key? Surrender...
God bless! ;)
