CHRIST IN YOU

Prepare your self.... this is amazing !

Our school has been having video teachings from, Steve Thompson who preaches on morning star somewhere in America i presume, his teaching flipped my world upside down, even though they were just videos, they had so much power and life in them!

I need to share his teaching, its simply amazing , I believe and want every christian to know this truth! As Christians we have never taken the wrapper off the bible, we are reading it with wrong eyes, we are reading it in terms of self pity and condemnation. The bible is not there to condemn anyone for not being "good Christians". I always ask myself, how can myself, who is dead to sin, through Christ, continue to sin?

My question has been answered finally... cheers Steve! Its because we forget who we are and our identity in Christ. God did not come to make bad people!
Religion and the church teach us the most ridiculous things... i am not bashing the church , i love it , but i have been believing false truths my whole life! Bad theology minimises Gods power and as Christians we are doing more apologising for the things God doesn't do, rather than boasting in the things Jesus has done. I need to switch my focus from "why does god not heal to people?" to ... he has healed people! Church teaches us if we see God's face we will die, however in scriptures it tells us to seek his face... i was pretty confused, is god telling me to ask for death then ? This is just one of the things, religion teaches us, if we see God's face and die is actually not a biblical concept!!!
In exodus 33, it tells me the lord will speak face to face as a man speaks with his friend, Moses saw god, and he did not die, he lived till he was a hundred and twenty years old actually!
On top of that I have been taught that sin separates us from God which then implies that god doesn't love me, because i am constantly sinning. That is because this is the old covenant way! I don't want to be a christian that focuses on myself, and how to please god through my actions and efforts , I want to look at Jesus. if that hasn't impressed you , get this , the whole time i have been struggling with my eating disorder, i have been asking Christians to keep me accountable... accountability is merely sin management! I need to work out my own sin, because i have the authority to do so , Jesus lives in me! Not to water down the strength and the way we rely on God, but i need to go to god with righteousness in that way i will be clean. Because i will see my self as beautiful and perfect and will not want any sin remaining in me, i need to stop judging the new revivals by the old revivals.
I need to quit self pitying myself... oh I'm fat .. oh nobody loves me... blah blah. I'm not ignorant ... god lives in me! Church ends up teaching us that we are sinners, which makes us self pity ourselves and thus feel Jesus is distant. Good theology, like Steve's is simple and clear and it empowers and builds us up. We need to start reading the bible differently from " OH... what can i do to be better??" to ermmm "oh yes! what can i do next .. now i know he lives in me"
if i read back in genesis it says "make man in my image according to my likeness let them have dominion" God imparted his likeness in us. He asked us to have dominion, i was created to rule, to reign, to be God's authority over the earth! In the beginning , God asked Adam and eve to replenish and subdue the whole earth , this is what mankind is called to do . This is our calling over our lives!! I believe that in the begining the complete glory of god was over Adam and eve , when they walked through places, things changed, trees turned, grounds transformed. They had gods power through and through ... jealous. I wonder constantly... why did God give Satan all power over the world??!!! No we did... when mankind ate from the tree of knowledge, we handed over our power and authority to the devil. The only power god ever gave away , was to mankind, beforehand we had perfect fellowship with god. However Jesus won back our relationship. This is the reason Jesus had to come in the flesh as a man and lay aside his glory and offer up himself to everyone.
Matthew 28.15... OH ... the great commission, yey. Jesus COMMANDS us to go to the whole world and tell the nations about him. When Jesus came, he reclaimed his authority and claimed he has authority over all the heavens and earth, however, he never said he had all power!
1 john 5.19 "the whole world lies under the power of the evil one" ... figure it out!!!
we are the missing link! We have a command over us to change the world! To win back our power, we have been granted permission!
We are battling terrible theology only to fight back what god has already given us. Don't wait on God to change situations, he is waiting on us! But not with strength, power or might but simply to believe and recognise that we can change things, for when we are under fear we create false realities.
The lord said to Moses quit crying out to me! We need to get moving . Stop being fearful and walk forward! The same power that conquered death lives in me, i can change it because he lives in me... How exciting! I am not a child of Christ anymore, i am a mature daughter of Christ. Jesus did not ask us to merely pray for the sick... he asked us to heal the sick! We are not taking the glory of god, or being boastful because we cant do this without him. I need to start using the tools God has given me.
The enemy tempted us to eat from the tree of knowledge and said we will be more like god, well we was already like god! So what was Adam and eve thinking?! We was created in his likeness! I will no longer devour the bible, to be a better person like Jesus, i want to recognise it at as n instruction manual, i need to figure out what god has already put inside , and ussssse it!




We had worship on Friday night , it was a freedom i had never experienced before. I prayed to God beforehand that i wouldn't hinder my feelings and emotions, that i would be able to launch myself straight in to worship, to dance like David as soon as the music starts. The atmosphere was so strong in the room, i was throwing myself around and dancing crazy. However it came upon me , that i needed a Revelation of God so desperately. I was sick of wasting another day of being in bondage to food, although i have had prayer over it and seeked help, i was in the same position as i was on day one and it has ruined me. I have complete head knowledge that i have God's authority and at the end of the day , its a matter of choice whether to give in to my sining or to walk in the oppisite spirit. However, i noticed that my heart was not following. I know of this freedom and i know i am beautiful, but i am not walking out in confidence of this knowledge. Noah said on the mic, if anyone wanted to confess anything that needed prayer and healing for. I felt God knocking on my heart. I was fully aware that i needed healing over my mind that the image in my mind would be washed away, over my ears that the enemy would stop whispering lies, over my heart that i would hear god telling me who i am rather than people just praying and telling me i am beautiful. Noah played a song for me, before this and he asked me to let god minister to me while it was playing , the words were "i need a revelation.... i need a new perspective" .. i wanted god to replace all my desires to be a certain way with a new perspective , a new outlook, because i know that i am worth everything! I want to be beautiful in the spiritual not in the physical.
I had prayer, everyone laid hands on me, while they were praying i could audibly hear an engine running . Andy (Noah's wife) came and held my hands she told me that she is charging me up, that everyone surrounding me is the battery and now i need to turn the key ... when i made that choice in my heart and let god in, she said she heard a motor running .
She had a picture that there was a demon in the driving seat of my life , and when i took that step i pushed him out of the driving seat, and now I'm driving the car. i have full control over every direction i turn!
Today i have had no thought or worry about my weight and there has been no guilt over what i look like, i cant remember the last time i have ever felt like this.
That night Landon's leg grew an inch longer, because he has suffered a wonky hip his whole life because one leg is longer than the other, so we prayed in faith that the other would grow an extra inch . in front of my eyes, it did.

p.s. God did give me that revelation in the form of a book mark...
