i have never known faithfulness until i met despair.

the past two weeks have just been an assortment of cakes! why dont i start from yesterday.



Yesterday night, as me and my friend read about the truth and its subtle workings in our lives, we were strengthened by Spirit to proclaim His love. As we prayed, His words spoke in my voice and His hand was upon her. She could feel His gentle touch, feel His gentle presence as i felt things would change. We could only revel in the glory of His presence, and our secret meeting with Him.

Today, as i speak with her, she tells me of the truth He proclaimed. In an episode of three dreams, she saved three lives; hers included and through hers included the three. In addition, He reveals that He works with us, and not imposingly on us. It was through her conscious will of rejection against the enemy, His light shined the brightest. And unfortunately, time wears down our memories and she can't remember the rest. But what we do know is God will work in our lives and through us; we will pour out His glory.

Admittingly, it is difficult, sometimes, if not always to be able to believe that. Sure, it is believable for a God for the impossible and for the great, but us? Scoff! Maybe that's just what's wrong with this view, us. Me. You. I. We fail to see the glory of what can be done and instead of allowing ourselves to be swept away with a heart for His heart, we schedule out our failures and victories. I cannot blame us though, what else can we do? We live in world and life where we are exactly just that; a representation of how collected and responsible we can be when we need to. We're living by our merits, or rather by our failures.

You know what God has to say about that? About one week ago, my friend again had another dream. It was after another night of thoughts and self reflection, God poured out His opinion on the matter. In this dream, she was two, one physical and one spiritual. One laid on the table, another stood at a crossroad. Two figures of presence stood with her. Unknowing to her memory now though impressionable in her judgment, they were representative of our greatest influencers and persuaders, the enemy and His Holy Spirit. His Holy Spirit, advised her to make the right choice, and surged through her an electrifying warmth of stength and empowerment. We must walk in our new wineskins; lets dispose of the old and refresh ourselves in what God has readily prepared for us through His resurrection. It is up to us, not to our circumstances. We are not species to be molded by our circumstances or environment, we are a generation to be strong and still in Him. Let's not look to what we can or can't do, but what His Holy Spirit can do if we are willing to shed our ragged, but comfortable state of selves.
