STOP BLOGGING ABOUT GOD! BLOG ABOUT YOUR LIFE!
When I ask someone to review my site. They always say… "Blog about your life! Too much God makes our head aches!" or "Its nice that you say God bless after your blogs, but try just once blogging about something like a movie without talking about God because it annoys some people". 

I admit that I could not stop talking about God. Why? Because God has done a lot in my life. If you are a frequent reader, or you know me in the past.. you will not think twice WHY I talk like this. Many people already criticize me, flame and and even said a lot of curses words or bad words. But it did not stop me talking about God.

Everyday, as I open my eyes. (When I had sleep because right now I have no sleep hahaha) I greet the morning with a smile, and start praising God. When I see my self in the Mirror, I can’t stop praising God for I can see the changes in my life. All the things He has done to me.. I will remember them. But not only the things He had done in my life. But also His visions, dreams and promises. 

Just like the song I am listening right now. 

Over the mountains and the sea, Your river runs with love for me, and I will open up my heart, and let the Healer set me free. I’m happy to be in the truth,
and I will daily lift my hands: for I will always sing of when Your love came down. I could sing of Your love forever,

Oh, I feel like dancing - it’s foolishness I know; but, when the world has seen the light, they will dance with joy, like we’re dancing now.

God healed me my leukemia, He freed me from the bondages of void, of emptiness and of satan. He took me out of the darkness and brought me to light. He poured His blessings upon our family. Financial, Spiritual, Emotional. He healed my Family. He healed my Mom. He healed my Dad. He gave me a wonderful Godswill. 

If you received a gift that you really really like, of course you will cherish the one who gives it to you right? If that’s the case. It’s just the same. God has done a lot of things in my life. Cherishing Him is not enough. Praising Him is not enough. Singing to Him is not enough… I want Him to use me more. I want to do more things to Him. 

So… Even though many people will review my site and tells me it is not good because of "God Talking". It won’t stop me from blogging about God. Why? Because… He has done a LOT in my LIFE.

WHY PEOPLE NOT WALKING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD

There are Christians who has the passion to share God’s words. There are Christians who don’t care, as long they are saved that’s it. There are Christians who still can’t feel God’s presence… and there are Christians who can’t walk in the presence of God. The sermon last sunday was an "Eye Opener" for all of us. It talks about why other people are not walking in the presence of God and here let me share it with you…

1. SPIRITUAL NEGLIGENCE or SPIRITUAL APATHY Some Christians don’t have the time to read the Bible anymore. Others say, "I already know the Bible and memorize it all" which is the Spirit of familiarity, that God cannot reveal to you another revelation as you read the Bible because you already close your mind on that. Others are having a hard time to read the Bible because it’s all about words… it’s so boring! It’s so thick! (but they can read harry potter books without complain neh?) One of the reasons why there are times even though God’s presence is around you, you still can’t feel Him or you don’t know it’s Him. Why? Because you don’t know His moves. You don’t read the Bible. Okay what if I do? Yet, where is the presence? I can feel many presence… Confusion will start then. When you read the Bible, Medidate it day and night with excitement. God will truly reveal something to you.

2. WORRY and FEAR Worry and Fear are one of the nature of man, which satan use to enter into our body. Worry and Fear can cause ‘doubt’. There are Christians who are not SURE that they are SAVED. (Even though they already have accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and savior). Other Christians leans on their understanding, rather of God. I know! Nothing is impossible with God! But I still have to make sure if everything will be alright. *blinks* huh? ^_^;; When Fear and Worry comes into your mind, remember the promises of God that He has good plans for you. (Jer 29:11); He will never leave you nor forsake you (Heb 13:5); He fights for your battle (Deut 20:4) and You are saved (Heb 10:22)

3. SPIRIT OF LUST I am not just talking about "Lust" (i.e. Sexual) I am talking about… "Self-centered" Because of our will.. we fall, we commit mistakes. Other people (like I said) are leaning on their own understanding (sadly when they fail often, they blame God). Well I think we inherited that to Adam ^_^;; Remember that these Spirit of Lusts (The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.) Can take us away from God when that happens… The Deportation of the Holy Spirit will takes place… and the demons will start to "torture you" Just like what happen to King Saul in Samuel 16:14. Would you like that to happen? … I don’t

THE WORD "SORRY"
The Most difficult word to pronounce in the English Language isn’t "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". It isn’t "antidisestablishmentarianism" either. The Most difficult word to pronounce has only FIVE LETTERS, but it’s a real tongue twister. It must be. Why else would so many of us have such a hard time saying it?

The word… S-O-R-R-Y.

Now, you would think a word that size would be cinch to pronounce, but it isn’t. Some people won’t even attempt to say it. Others practically choke on each syllable. Even some of those who do get it out are so unsure of the pronunciation that they merely whisper it.

"Sorry" isn’t always hard to say, though. There are some occasions when it just rolls right off our tongues, distinct as you please. This usually happens when the word if used in one of the following sentences:

"Are you ready to say you’re sorry?"
"You’re the one who should be sorry."
"You’re sorry? Well, you certainly should be sorry!"
"Why would I say sorry?"
"Sorry is not enough"

When the word is used in that context, the correct pronunciation comes easily. The accent fails in exactly the right places. There’s no stuttering or hesitation whatsoever.

But change the accompanying word you to an I, and you’d think sorry was a foreign expression. People start mumbling, stammering, coughing.

We really should practice saying "I’m Sorry" as much as we can. It’s one of the most powerful phrases in the English language. It can heal Broken friendships and broken families. It might even be a big step toward world peace.

Given it’s power, you’d think we’d use it a lot more often that we do.
