My goodness how the time has flewn
It really surprises me that tomorrow is the first day of March, the third month of this year. I feel like 2005 has been really flying by. And it's all kind of snowballing, really, which is pretty crazy. I've only just started university and it's rolling along nicely. All my fun languages are finding their appropriate places in my head and it's really hunky-dory.
Last night we had a Firezone Prayer Meeting at Crossroads. It was fantastic. And I am so fired up for OneWay on Sunday night! I'm just going to put out a prayer request for that, and especially for everyone in it. Something tells me that we're going to be under attack this week. Because we could possibly do some serious damage this weekend, and I don't think Satan's going to like that. Recently I've become so increasingly aware that this really is war. There really is an enemy, and we really have to be soldiers. And this is more than just a metaphor. This is actually happening.
Another thing that has seriously hit me recently is that I do not belong here. We, as Christians, do not belong here. The minute we become Christians, we become citizens of the kingdom of heaven, and all the crap that goes on in the world ceases to have any power over us. Jesus cut those chains for us. So I wonder - why do I go on living like it matters what people think of me? Why do I let the little things in life get me down when I know that I've got the Creator of the Universe on my side? And why do I still let Satan bring me down? Why do I still let what the world says matter to me? I don't have to! And I shouldn't!
So no matter how much I get attacked this week, and things try to bring me down, I can survive. I just need to keep my focus, you know? And keep reminding myself that this weekend, I am going to be striking out for God in worship, and that is one of the most powerful weapons I have in my arsenal. Never forgetting, of course, that the most powerful weapon I have is prayer - and that's really what's going to make this meeting great. We're putting the worship out there on a solid base of prayer, and it's going to be amazing. I fully believe it. I'm not going to try and limit it, or predict what's going to happen, coz I don't know. But I'm not about to underestimate God and what he can do. So seriously, bring on Sunday night!
