It takes the Holy Spirit to convict people that a virgin gave birth, a dead man rose and a man now lives as a Spirit in my heart. Help me Holy Spirit
I went on a page, i intend to grow so i'm working:
Not hard work, just exposing my mind to God's word and His amazing possibilities. Not speaking big english, i am actually expecting God to speak to me;

A virgin gave birth:
I actually believe that Mary gave birth even though she knew no man, i believe God caused the seed He put in her to begin to grow and grow a baby boy that was birthed at the right time. I believe that she brought this child forth and lived with the miracle of this son who was not conceived by man all the days of her life and knew that God did it that way because He wanted to do something special. (This is the same way i know that God has a special reason for my life, He wants to use me for His glory and He is working in me, divinity is at work in me. Divinity is not just a story in the bible; it is also God working in my life today, i choose to see His hand in my life).
A dead man rose:
I believe that Lazarus rose again (I forgot that the pharisees tried to kill Lazarus in the next chapter because people believed; not today the devil started fighting the manifestation of God). More than that, i believe that Jesus rose, unlike the rising of Lazarus that got so many people marvelling, the rising of Jesus bought me an inheritance in Christ. Jesus did not just sleep, the Holy Ghost did not lie fallow in Him. He died and then the Holy Ghost quickened his body until He came back to life. That same Holy Ghost is at work in me and in the members of my family quickening us, He is making every part of our body come alive with His creative power. He is working in our spirit, in our mind and in our hearts; these will then affect our body and work life all over us.
A man now lives as a spirit in my heart:
More than anything i am blessed to have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, the anointed son of God. I have been mocked for it but i bless the day i found Jesus intimately, i love my Jesus, He speaks to me and I speak back to Him and i don't care who believes or not: He is my God, He is my friend, my legal counsel, my advocate. I remember telling my friends that i learnt the presence i got the presence of God before i learnt the word of God; i kept wondering why my pastor was so determined to teach me the word of God because i knew the spirit of God because i studied the bible but i am glad i studied the bible because i could have been confused. The Holy Ghost is the most precious gift i could ever have received and i thank God for giving Him to me before i was ready or beofre i even understood anything and i value my relationship with Him, i would not have made it in my Christian walk without Him. Lord, help me spend time with you, i really do love you but i get so busy that i do not even get time to say i love you, Lord. I appreciate what you did; teach me to take advantage of having you in life and not walking around bumbling and stumbling like the people who don't have you.
I know you are with me and for me and you are working in me even through the sweats and all, i look around me and there is so much logic, help me shut everyone else out and listen to only you; i know i can't do it without you and help is not coming from anywhere else but from you when you speak to me. Everyone else is too earthly to see anything else but i expect good again.
I expect to see your wonders and be marveled by your goodness. 
Your words say you are close to me and that you speak to me in the night seasons and even in the day, help me not to trust what my eyes can see or what my ears can hear, help me trust your course because you are able to lead me into the light and i trust your word and your voice and your promptings and i receive grace to silence all the noise and attention (both negative and positive) and hear only you in Jesus name, amen.

praying...
contacting God from time to time
...when my thots are not drifting

actually need to pray from my heart
or it's not worth it

struggling to be honest in prayer
cos i'm not acting
it's not worth it

not planning to retain this position
i want to move to another
position where i can get good

feedback
not planning to be nasty or anything
wrong positioning
need to focus on what is important

not down with playing games
LORD!!!
Help me connect and retain
I need an oasis!

Talking with God again...
He loves me perfect

Got to work on discipline
Or i won't grow
I'm so lax, it is pathetic
I used to enjoy praying at 4 am

not consistent
My faith hasn't totally died
because i pray in the 5 5 mins that
doesn't seem to matter

Not ask- ask prayer o
Just talking with God like my friend
that understands me and
wants to hear everything i say

God knows!

Team Ministry Spiritual Gifts Analysis

Team Ministry Spiritual Gifts Analysis: The Team Ministry Spiritual Gifts Inventory is a discovery tool that provides you with a personalized analysis. Not a test, but a simple questionnaire giving you a profile of your God given spiritual gifts.

I will be back to study this, just to see if i pass the test...
Working on my intimacy with God!

Romans 8:28 – 30
The first great day in man’s life is the day he is born. The second great day in his life is the day he discovers purpose. Purpose is the reason for a thing or the ‘why’ of a thing.
God is a God of purpose. He created every human being purposefully. Outside of purpose, life is empty. Purpose is the key to relevance and fulfillment.
Response to God’s purpose for your life will make all things to work out together for you.
The Bible says
Eph 6:13 KJV
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
The evil day is the day of the enemy’s onslaught. There will be good days and bad days. But what will make bad days of non effect in your life is purpose. All things will simply work together according to
Rom 8:28 KJV
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Purpose is motivation. Purpose is the definition for success. You are only successful if you are successful in God’s sight.
Nobody is an accident. There is an end goal. Your end goal ought to drive and determine the career you pursue.
You must be driven by purpose. A lot of people are driven by wrong things.
1. GUILTDon’t be driven by guilt. Don’t focus on the past. God does not consult your past to determine your future. If God consults pasts, Rahab will not make it to Hebrew 11, but she actually ended being an ancestor of Jesus Christ! A harlot!
It is a curse to be haunted by your past continuously. In Gen 4:12, Cain was haunted by his past because he was under a curse for murdering his brother.
God did not consult Apostle Paul’s past. In Acts 8, he was an accomplice to Stephen’s murder. In Acts 9, he was called of God into the ministry! You can move on with your life. Do not allow the past to paralyze you!
1Jn 1:9 KJV
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Message Translation says
1Jn 1:9 MSG
On the other hand, if we admit our sins–make a clean breast of them–he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing.
2. RESENTMENTS AND ANGERDon’t be driven by Resentments and anger.
Resentment is a feeling of deep and bitter anger and ill-will. Usually people driven by resentments are evidenced in their withdrawal symptoms. They simply withdraw into their cocoons. They hibernate from all activities in order to show their resentments.
They cut off from all meaningful relationships, but what they don’t understand is that purpose cannot be fulfilled in isolation. Actually, the truth is that resentments hurt you more than the person you resent.
On the other hand, some people react to pain and hurts through outbursts and anger tantrums. Anger is a strong emotion; a feeling that is oriented toward some real or supposed grievance.
Either way, you must let go of pain and hurts. Those who have hurt you in the past cannot hurt you any longer unless you hold on to the pain. Forgive, and let go of hurts.
Stop allowing resentments and anger to drive you! Be driven by purpose.
Psa 37:8 KJV
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Message translation says
Psa 37:8 MSG
Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes–it only makes things worse.
3. FEAR
Being fearful simply means to be afraid or feel anxious or apprehensive about a possible or probable situation or event.
Fear is a spirit. Fearful and timid people never dare anything or step out in life. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Don’t be afraid of people laughing at you.
2Ti 1:7 AMP
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.
You can make a new choice. Don’t be afraid. Try one more business. Write that examination again. Change approaches and methodology. Step out again.
You are not a failure! Shake off the past.
Courage rises in the face of fear. The way to conquer fear is to do what you are afraid to do. Don’t let fear determine your choice that you have to make. Deal with fear. Confront your fear. Don’t let the fear of being laughed to scorn stop you from becoming who God created you to be.
The best answer to those who laugh at you is your productivity because wisdom is justified by her children.
Don’t be driven with fear! Be driven by purpose.
4. MATERIALISM
Whatever drives you will color your judgment. Possessions and acquisitions will wear off. Material things will eventually bore you. Cars, houses, and other good things will lose their novelty with time.
Don’t allow materialism to drive you. Let purpose drive you.
Heb 13:5 MSG
Don’t be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, “I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,”
5. NEED FOR APPROVAL
Don’t be driven by the need for approval. Don’t live by the expectations and approval of spouses, bosses, friends etc.
Real friends are not manipulative. No matter how kind you are, you will fall below some people’s expectations.
Deliver yourself from people’s approval. Don’t live your life based on people’s approval.
Don’t be afraid to stand alone when you are right. Let purpose determine who you are and who you relate to.
Luk 6:26 MSG
“There’s trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests–look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular.
