Random Thoughts
In this modern world, we worry too much about the non essentials and far too little about the ESSENTIALS.
What do i mean? We fear bacterial infections and disinfect our hands, houses, water, clothes... We cross the road with precision, put up high wall fences with high class security systems. We save up fat retirement packages, accident proof our houses, cars and buildings. We do everything we can for our life here but we hardly stop to think the OTHER SIDE and what is needed to secure rest there!

Think about it...
HYMN JUNKIE
I LOVE hymns like you have no idea and my fave hymnists(if that's a word) are FANNY J CROSBY, Thoro Harris, E A Hoffman, H G Spafford(the guy who sung it is well- beautiful story btw), Isaac Watts... Yeah, i grew up in a PAG and hymns were in the order of service.
In my late teens i kinda started getting irritated by them(and anything deep that has to do with God btw) but teach a child... when he is old he will not depart. {You know i couldn't stand the conviction in Romans so i comforted myself in Psalms- Ezekiel the poet. You should check out his poem Almost fyi}
Sometimes i wonder what there writers saw, knew or experienced to write with such conviction. Sometimes some hymns resonate to my innermost being like deep calls to deep. As a self proclaimed writer, any piece I've ever written would blush at a simple chorus like 'i must tell Jesus, i must tell Jesus. I cannot bear there burdens alone. I must tell Jesus, i must tell Jesus. Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.' or 'Fatherlike He tends and spares us. Well our feeble frame He knows. In his hand He gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes. Praise Him praise Him! Widely as his mercy flows.
Not to downplay anything I've written but I'd like to write as well as there great people of God did. To bring joy to my readers however few. To bring hope and hopefully convict others all to the glory of God. But its not for me to decide. Its our good Lord who gives people gifts according to his abundant love- james4:17 'every good and perfect gift comes from above. From the father of lights in whom is no variableness or shadow of turning.' To EVERY MAN is given a measure of faith. So no matter what i write, God is pleased because He knows my motives and heart. A saying my mum 'a mum understands her child's goo goo gagas' so He relates to my randomness...
I sign off with there words from E E Hewitt:
Fear not I am with thee, blessed golden ray.
Like a star of midnight, lighting up my way.
Through the clouds of midnight this bright promise shone.
I will never leave thee, never will leave thee alone.
No never alone X2
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.
Roses fade around us, lilies bloom and die.
Earthly sunbeams vanish, radiant still the sky.
Jesus rose of Sharon, blooming for His own.
Jesus heaven's sunshine, never will leave me alone.
Steps unseen before me, hidden dangers near.
Nearer still my Savior, whispering 'be of cheer'.
Joys like birds of spring time to my heart have flown.
Singing all so sweetly 'He will not leave me alone'

PRIDE 101
Truely there's a bus and i wanna be on board. As soon as i opened my tweets account after the meeting jana, you wouldnt believe the link that was on a post on my home page... Brokeness- the proud heart verses the broken heart! Yea, there's no distance between spirits... Anyhu am waitin to get a comp so i can copy paste but before that Sought Out lets keep killin pride, Jesus said the one who falls on the rock will be broken, but who the rock falls on will be crushed! I dont want to be crushed...
In recent weeks I have found God searching my own heart. I've gone before Him many times and said, "Oh God, show me what it means to be a broken person, to live a lifestyle of brokenness." What are some of the characteristics, the evidences of a proud, unbroken spirit? Let me just share with you some that have come to my own heart as I have waited on the Lord.
Proud people, but broken people. Proud people are self-righteous. They have a critical, fault-finding spirit. They look at everyone else's faults with a microscope but their own with a telescope, and they look down on others. But broken people are compassionate. They can forgive much because they know how much they have been forgiven. They think the best of others, and they esteem all others better than themselves.
Proud people have an independent, self-sufficient spirit, but broken people have a dependent spirit and recognize their need for others. Proud people have to prove that they're right, but broken people are willing to yield the right to be right. Proud people claim rights and have a demanding spirit, but broken people yield their rights and have a meek spirit. Proud people are self-protective of their time, their rights, and their reputation, but broken people are self-denying.
Proud people desire to be served, but broken people are motivated to serve others. Proud people desire to be a success, but broken people are motivated to be faithful and to make others a success.
Proud people desire for self-advancement, but broken people desire to promote others. Proud people have a drive to be recognized, to be appreciated. They're wounded when others are promoted and they are overlooked. Broken people have a sense of their own unworthiness. They're thrilled that God would use them at all in any ministry. They're eager for others to get the credit, and they rejoice when others are lifted up.
Proud people have a subconscious feeling, "This ministry is privileged to have me and my gifts." They think of what they can do for God, but broken people have that heart attitude that says, "I don't deserve to have any part in this ministry." They know that they have nothing to offer God except the life of Jesus flowing through their broken lives.
Proud people feel confident in how much they know, but broken people are humbled by how very much they have to learn. Proud people are self-conscious, but broken people are not concerned with self at all.
Proud people keep others at arm’s length, but broken people are willing to risk getting close to others and to take the risks of loving intimately. Proud people are quick to blame others, but broken people accept personal responsibility and can see where they were wrong in the situation.
Proud people are unapproachable, but broken people are easy to be entreated. Proud people are defensive when criticized, but broken people receive criticism with a humble, open spirit. Proud people are concerned with being respectable. They're concerned with what others think, and they're working to protect their own image and reputation. But broken people are concerned with being real. What they care about and what matters to them is not what others think but what God knows, and they're willing to die to their own reputation.
Proud people find it difficult to share their spiritual needs with others, but broken people are willing to be open and transparent with others as God directs. Proud people, when they have sinned, want to be sure that no one finds out. Their instinct is to cover up, but broken people, once they've been broken, they don't care who knows or who finds out. They are willing to be exposed because they have nothing to lose.
Proud people have a hard time saying, "I was wrong. Will you please forgive me?" But broken people are quick to admit their failure and to seek forgiveness when necessary. When confessing their sin, proud people tend to deal in generalities, but broken people are able to deal under the conviction of God's Spirit to acknowledge specifics.
Proud people are concerned about the consequences of their sin, but broken people are grieved over the cause, the root of their sin. Proud people are remorseful over their sin, sorry that they got found out or caught. But broken people are truly, genuinely repentant over their sin, which is evidenced in the fact that they forsake that sin.
When there's a misunderstanding or conflict in relationships, proud people wait for the other to come and ask forgiveness, but broken people take the initiative to be reconciled. They race to the cross. They see if they can get there first, no matter how wrong the other may have been.
Proud people compare themselves with others and feel worthy of honor, but broken people compare themselves to the holiness of God and feel a desperate need for His mercy. Proud people are blind to their real heart condition, but broken people walk in the light. Proud people don't think they have anything to repent of, but broken people realize that they have need of a continual heart attitude of repentance.
Proud, unbroken people don't think they need revival, but they're sure that everyone else does. Whereas humble, broken people continually sense their need for a fresh encounter with God, for a fresh filling of His Holy Spirit.
Now why would, with that long list, why would anyone want to be broken, anymore than we would want to sign up for suffering or surgery? Well, we learn from the Scripture that brokenness brings blessedness. Brokenness brings blessedness. Jesus said, "Blessed are the broken ones, those who are poor in spirit" (see Matt. 5:3).
What kind of blessings does brokenness bring? Well, we heard from the verse that Chuck read earlier that God draws near to the broken (see Ps. 34:18). He lifts up those who are humbled (see Ps. 147:6). We're told that God stiff-arms the proud. He resists them (see James 4:6). He keeps them at a distance, but He comes close to, even as the father of that prodigal son drew that repentant, broken son to his chest and embraced him, we find that our Heavenly Father draws near to the heart of those who are broken. You want to get close to God?
God draws near to the place of brokenness.
We find that brokenness brings the blessing of new life being released. Jesus said that, "if that grain of wheat does not fall onto the ground, and its outer shell is not broken; if it does not die it will abide alone" (see John 12:24).
Listen. Loneliness, I have found in my own life, is often an evidence of unbrokenness. Because when I am willing for that hard outer shell to be broken, then the life of Jesus can be released through me, and there is reproduction; there is fruit produced in the lives of others.
Of course, the ultimate picture of that brokenness is the Lord Jesus, who we have worshiped this morning. As He said, “This is my body which is broken for you” (see 1 Cor. 11:24). On that cross, as He experienced and endured the brokenness of fellowship with His Heavenly Father, from whom He had never known a moment's separation, and as He took upon Himself the full weight of our sin and was broken on our behalf,
His death released eternal life for us. So when we are willing to be broken, His abundant life flows through us to others.
Brokenness will bring to us an increased capacity for love and worship. I think back to that sinner woman in Luke chapter 7. She had been forgiven much, so she was able to love much. I see in that woman an abandon in her relationship with Jesus that I desire for myself.
She was oblivious to the rejection or the thoughts or the disapproval of anyone around her. All that mattered to her was Jesus. And in her worship and in her love, there was such a lavishness, an extravagance of freedom. That's because there's a cycle in the ways of God that brokenness leads to genuine repentance. Genuine repentance leads to forgiveness. Forgiveness will produce in my life freedom from the guilt, freedom from the bondage of myself and my sin.
When there is that new freedom birthed through brokenness and repentance and forgiveness, that freedom will produce a new capacity for love and worship and a capacity to love others, to love the unlovable, to love God, to worship God.
And, of course, that worship and that love of God lead us always back to new levels of brokenness, leading to greater and deeper repentance, to new forgiveness, to newfound freedom and increased capacity for love and for worship, to love the people we work with, to love the people we live with. Why is our capacity so limited? Perhaps it's because we are not living in brokenness, for brokenness yields that wonderful fruit of increased capacity for love and worship.
And then brokenness brings increased fruitfulness. For you see, God uses things and people that are broken. There are so many wonderful illustrations of this in the Scripture.
We’ve read about the Welsh revival in 1905. The song that was sung throughout the Welsh revival, sung through lips that represented broken and contrite hearts, was that chorus, “Bend me, lower, lower, down at Jesus’ feet.”
Through that brokenness, God released a great flood tide of His Spirit that encompassed that whole land and brought untold revival blessing to the world.

- It's when Jacob's natural strength was broken at Peniel that God was able to clothe him with true spiritual power.
- It's when the rock at Horeb was struck and broken by Moses' rod that the water flowed out to quench the thirst of the people.
- It’s when 300 people broke their pitchers that the light of the lanterns within shone forth.
- It’s when the little boy's five loaves were broken—I tell you, I had a picture of this yesterday driving by the picnic. I said, “This had to look like something of the feeding of the 5,000. I imagined Jesus taking those five loaves, but when they were broken in the hands of the Master, they were sufficiently multiplied to feed the multitudes with abundance left over.
- Brokenness brings increased fruitfulness. It's when Mary's alabaster box was broken that the fragrance was released and filled the whole house.
- And as we've said, it's when Jesus' body was broken on Calvary that eternal life was released for the salvation of the world.

A letter from satan
OUCHHH! What a slap in the face. I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn’t even bless your meal, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living. Fool…you are mine!
Remember, you and I have been going steady for years and I still don’t love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you because I hate God. I am only using you to get even with God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I am going to use you as long as possible to pay Him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU, and He have great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me, and I am going to make your life a living hell…literally. That way, we will be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you, I’m really showing Him whose boss in your life with all the good times we’ve having. We have been watching dirty movies, cursing people out, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, backstabbing people, disrespecting authority , adults and those in leadership, no respect for the church, bad attitudes…surely you don’t wanna give all this up…do you?
Come on fool, let’s burn together forever. I’ve got some really hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I’d like to say “THANKS!” for letting me use you for most of your silly life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you are a given...so predictable. HA HA HA. You make me sick. Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older and now, I need some new blood. So go ahead and teach your children how to sin. All you have to do is smoke, get drunk, cheat, gamble, lie fornicate, gossip and live your life as selfishly as possible. Do all of this in the presence of your children and they will do it too. Kids are like that you know.
Well, Fool, I have to let you go now. I will be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, and confess your sins, and believe in your heart that Jesus was raise from the dead for your sins, and live for God with what little bit of life you have left. Its not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, its becoming a bit ridiculous…don’t you think? Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still hate you, IT’S JUST THAT YOU MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST!
The Hell with you,
The Devil
PS. And if you really love me, you wont share this letter with anyone. Everyday, every minute, every breath truly is a gift from God. SHHHHHH
This is a sad day in the history of CHRISTIANITY!!!!!
So many Christians are in denial of satan's existence
as ruler of this world, for as long as GOD allows.
Folks have you not known... have you not heard that satan &
his legion of demons are out to steal the souls of, kill, &
destroy GOD's children?
Well if you didn't know it before I'm telling you now!!!
The Undisputable Word of GOD & HIS spiritual gifts to
me of discerning spirits & seeing into the spirit realm qualify
me to speak this TRUTH!!
It's devastating that satan is blinding Christians with cleverness
& fear!!
Read the devil's letter folks, it's the TRUTH staring in your faces!!!
GOD is certainly not pleased with those who turn a deaf
ear & a blind eye to ALL the knowledge & wisdom that
HE has made available to us.
Shine your eyes folks... Shine your eyes!! The enemy is real
& he's not a cute little cartoon character image!!!
It's time to get off the breast milk & start eating meat!!!
I rebuke & bind satan's craftiness & command the eyes of your
understanding to be opened, in JESUS' Mighty Name.... Amen!!
Onward Christian Soldiers March!!! Spread the WORD!!!

Come on fool, let’s burn together forever. I’ve got some really hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I’d like to say “THANKS!” for letting me use you for most of your silly life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you are a given...so predictable. HA HA HA. You make me sick. Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older and now, I need some new blood. So go ahead and teach your children how to sin. All you have to do is smoke, get drunk, cheat, gamble, lie fornicate, gossip and live your life as selfishly as possible. Do all of this in the presence of your children and they will do it too. Kids are like that you know.
Well, Fool, I have to let you go now. I will be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, and confess your sins, and believe in your heart that Jesus was raise from the dead for your sins, and live for God with what little bit of life you have left. Its not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, its becoming a bit ridiculous…don’t you think? Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still hate you, IT’S JUST THAT YOU MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST!
The Hell with you,
The Devil
PS. And if you really love me, you wont share this letter with anyone. Everyday, every minute, every breath truly is a gift from God. SHHHHHH
This is a sad day in the history of CHRISTIANITY!!!!!
So many Christians are in denial of satan's existence
as ruler of this world, for as long as GOD allows.
Folks have you not known... have you not heard that satan &
his legion of demons are out to steal the souls of, kill, &
destroy GOD's children?
Well if you didn't know it before I'm telling you now!!!
The Undisputable Word of GOD & HIS spiritual gifts to
me of discerning spirits & seeing into the spirit realm qualify
me to speak this TRUTH!!
It's devastating that satan is blinding Christians with cleverness
& fear!!
Read the devil's letter folks, it's the TRUTH staring in your faces!!!
GOD is certainly not pleased with those who turn a deaf
ear & a blind eye to ALL the knowledge & wisdom that
HE has made available to us.
Shine your eyes folks... Shine your eyes!! The enemy is real
& he's not a cute little cartoon character image!!!
It's time to get off the breast milk & start eating meat!!!
I rebuke & bind satan's craftiness & command the eyes of your
understanding to be opened, in JESUS' Mighty Name.... Amen!!
Onward Christian Soldiers March!!! Spread the WORD!!!

PLACEBO exerpt
Chapter 12: Wake Up!
I now repeat for you point by point the entire five point message that
God gave me to deliver to this world today.
Point Number 1: For those who call themselves Christians, this is the Laodicean Church Age in which
we live. A high majority of so-called Christians are, in fact, living a deceived life. They talk
Jesus and play church, but do not live it. They claim to be Christians and then live
like the devil. They have bought the great lie from Satan who tells them that they are alright. He
tells them that it is alright to go to church on Sunday and attend mid-week services but as far as
the rest of the time is concerned, they are to get all they can out of life. As far as their
Christian life is concerned, they believe they are comfortable and have need of nothing and as a
result, they are only lukewarm Christians if Christians at all.
Point Number 2: Satan is a personal devil.
Point Number 3: To the whole world, this is Noah's second day. As it was in the days of Noah, so
shall it be in the days of the coming of the son of man. Humans took no thought of what Noah was
saying
nor did humans believe that anything was about to change. Humanity could see the storm clouds over
the horizon, but yet did not believe the rain was imminent. Notice the close parallel today.
Humanity can see all the signs of the last days, yet humanity does not believe that anything will
change. He does not believe in the impending coming of our Lord and he does not prepare to meet
God."
Point Number 4: For those who claim to be Christians, they are supposed to be ambassadors for
Christ here on earth. One cannot have any true witness or power in his life unless that one lives
his Christian faith at all times, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. To be a true
Christian one must live it, not just talk it. To honor God with your lips and not your heart is not
acceptable. Those who accept the responsibility of teaching, preaching, or any leadership role have
much for which to answer.
Point Number 5: God is now in the process of recruiting an army with which God will shake this old
world one more time. By working through his soldiers, God will produce great miracles that will shake the established hierarchy of
the so-called organized religion that is in this world today. These soldiers that God is now
recruiting will demonstrate the power of God to a greater extent than did the disciples in the
Pentecostal age. Now the recruitment has begun in earnest because God is about to perform the great
miracles through his army that God promised us God would do in the Bible. John the Baptist brought
the spirit of Elijah into this world and he did not even know he had it. John denied it, but Jesus
confessed that it was so. The purpose of that spirit was to make straight the paths of the coming
of the Lord.

"The Alpha and Omega, the Cause of all the universe's existence was hurting because a mere Earth
child was hurting. Oh, what Love! What Understanding! It was so far beyond anything a mere
Earthling can understand. Oh how precious just one, little, insignificant Earth child is to that
Great God" – Howard Pittman

A Commitment to God
I stumbled across this in a website, while reading about the character of Joseph in the face of pressure... link provided below. Someone submitted the commitment below and wondered if am really serious about God? Do/will i follow Him with wreck-less abandon? Or in my mind is my one foot stepping back and the other leaping forward??? Note to self Joska, this is life you better get serious.

Someone recently sent me the following anointed statement. I do not know who wrote it but God has certainly used that person to remind a lot of Christians of what our focus should be. I hope it encourages you as much as it has me.
~~~~~MY COMMITMENT AS A CHRISTIAN~~~~~

~~~~~MY COMMITMENT AS A CHRISTIAN~~~~~
I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me - my banner will be clear!
