Sweet Nothings

Seed of a dream

Yesterday's service was mind-blowing. It really affected me quite alot. It was about losing vision and the result of losing your vision that God has given you.
When we become lost from our vision, we begin to treat going to Church service like a routine. Minitering in a minitry as a chore. This result in losing your spiritual sight and hearing to God and become "professional Christians". It's like Eli from 1 Samuel. He was the high priest, who knows everything about serving in the House of God, but he does not hear or see spiritually the prescense of God. In the story, Samuel, who was serving God before Eli, did not understand about God. Therefore it is like being able to explain others on a certain thing but not doing that certain thing and doing that thing but not being able to explain others. In 1 Samuel 3:1-11, it talks about God calling Samuel, but Samuel did not know that it was God talking to him and thought that Eli was talking to him but he did not call Samuel. This happened for 3 times unil Eli precived that God was taling to Samuel so he tolded samuel that if it were to happen again, he should answer "Speak, for Your servant hears." This shows that Eli was able to understand God but was not able to hear God and samuel, did not undderstand God but was able to hear God. So WE NEED THE PESCENCE OF GOD AND A VISION!!! Also, by being young spiritually, we keep our spiritual sight and haering in good shape so as to be able to listern to God.

To those who are new christians, this message is saying that we should not keep turning back to our old religions and beliefs for confirmation for God giving us a new revaltion, to start afresh.

I think that's all i can remember dispite having taken notes(only half way..).

- dedicated to those who were not able to go for the service on 11/06/06 like Beckie, Jexin, Kesh and Shurn. Also to many other whom i did not mention.
