THIS ENTRY IS to all who think Christians are narrow minded and don’t see the ‘big picture’.
I used to think like this and saw myself as a 'new ager' – HA! until I knew who Jesus was and is and is to come, who He proclaims to be – Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The God who created the heavens and earth. The God who gave us free will. I am one witness to Him moving in my life..
How many times have I seen the Good News of the gospel greeted with anger and scoffing and scorn? Most people don’t want to hear the truth, let alone embrace it. It is Satan keeping them in the false safety and knowledge of the world’s view, keeping people in their net of ego, (self as ‘king’) and false idols – if they could but see it!

And some of you, you, reader, will see a fresh, when you read this, because I, and others, pray for you. I hope this, with all my heart, so He may have the glory! Just try it – let go and surrender to the God of the Bible – lose ALL of self and gain life in Him, for ever! He wants you for His own because He is a jealous God. He is a loving and patient God. He is a judging God and has plans and purpose - this is his character revealed in the Bible..
To make the act of totally accepting Christ’s gift, of His word, and receiving Him in our heart, means admitting that everything on which we based our lives before has gained us nothing. It means surrendering to a power greater than ourselves. It seems upside down thinking! Few want to surrender to anything outside of themselves. And they go on striving to find their own way when there is only One way. Actually He is IN us and has been all along.

Christians are filled with His spirit, and can claim freedom from sin. But because we are all born of Adam, we still sin. However, we know we are saved and we have a great pardoner, someone to speak on our behalf, because we have repented and will continue to repent and become new each day - so we may rejoice with the heavenly joy in our hearts! What bliss, when this is known!! Joy beyond anything the world could ever give. We pass this on to others who don't yet know Him - by His power and authority. When Christ is acknowledged in us, faith, hope and love are revealed in completeness. Oh thank you God. Go on! Try it! – say to yourself you can now let go. Listen to that small voice inside of you - you KNOW it is there!
“Father, forgive me for going my own way. Forgive me for thinking I know best and relying on what I have learned from my worldly experience and those who have influenced and moulded my thinking. Let me allow your thought, your will, your guidance into my life. I trust in you. Teach me your ways through your living word, guide me in your paths. Let me seek righteousness and give me a pure and steadfast heart from now on. I surrender to you father, and friend, Jesus.
Speak now.."
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen"

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen"
