[Supernatural] Kids want super powers



I have been chatting to the kids and it is really clear they all want super powers like Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Super girl and Spider-Man to name just a view.  When you ask them what they know about the Holy Spirit, they will say that He comes to live in your heart.  

Because we know the Holy Spirit is a Christians ‘super power’ we seem to want to hide it.  With the Holy Spirit living within me, the Lord Jesus has empowered me to face each day.  I am strong because I know the Holy Spirit is within me.  I am able to face each day knowing that I will be more than a conquer because of the Holy Spirit.

When I stand before God in prayer, I don’t always have the right words and then the Holy Spirit speaks on my behalf to God, Deep calling onto deep.

I am reminded by John 15 verse 26 “But I will send you the Comforter – the Holy Spirit, the source of all truth.  He will come to you from the Father and will tell you all about me.”  The Lord Jesus sent us a lethal weapon to help us face each day.

Prayer

We pray for guidance Lord, please let Your Holy Spirit show us the way forward, giving us the courage to face each day.  Helping us stand fast on Your word, helping us to draw closer to You giving us our ‘super power’ to become more and more like You Lord Jesus.  Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
