Cinderella story

Hi Ladies I felt like I needed to share this with you all. The other day I had a pure reminiscing of when I was little.
Not many of you know but when I was six I was really ill in hospital and I almost dead and after getting better thank you Lord I had to be on anti-fit medicine to stop fitting. Anyways I had received while I was in hospital a Toy Cinderella that was reversible. One side was very dressed up and the other side she was really dirty.  I remember loving the ruff side the Cinderella that had all the bit of dirty on her I didn't seem to understand why she had to change I was six. I was sure that she looked prettier that way defiantly. 

So God reminded me of this last week and told me to remind you women of this. Yeah the aim of the story she ends up with her Prince Charming and everything. But what I love the most is the fact that she is beautiful yeah she had a dress put on and went in a carriage, but no matter what her stepmother said she just served. God reminded me that there is far more of a interesting story to learn.

She might have had so much being going about her daily chores and her fairy godmother turns up to bless her. I would have ran away after the ball but nope she went home and carried on with her chores.
I know this just a fairy-tale and I don't have a Godmother but I see this as an example every time I feel like giving up. I can just imagine being Cinderella going about your daily life and you just work and you don’t realise there is a blessing. Also she though it was a one night thing and that nothing would have come of it she most have had the shock of her life when Prince Charming turned up on her doorstep.

I suppose this is what God is trying to say you are beautiful.
Even if you don't feel it and your overworked and all you do you feel under appreciated.
Keep going cause even if you full off muck and rag you are a beautiful women of God.

Fires!

Hi guys I have decide to share this on a blog because sometimes things like these need to be share this is a prophetic word.
If you general believe that God speaks then I ask that read this and pray God opens your understanding.
I will first describe what happen if you don’t watch it but it will make more sense if you do.
If you didn't watch the London 2012 Torch lighting then I encourage you to watch this so it makes sense.

In the first part of the torch relay Sir Steve Redgrave brought the torch into the stadium and handed seven young people of different abilities and different ages and for them to light the torch. They were not random athletes but they were nominated by older and more experienced athletes.
They then went to the cauldron to light the beacon that the each individual light a pedal each which made the fire light gradually but completely light.

Why I am I talking about this I tell you the significance wasn’t that they were young nope it was that it was passed on to not one but seven nominated people.
I didn’t notice this was at all prophetic till about three days later when I was seeking God about something different.
 I didn’t truly understand it at all and he said ‘I’m handing other the torch’ to what I thought and somehow I forgot about the torch.
Then I was reminded of seven people.
 In order for there to be and kind of revival or any kind of move of God there has to be a shift or move in authority and power so there you go he’s handing it over.
 I believe that It won’t be just young people but people of all ages working together in harmony to reach the lost from the smallest little children to the oldest lady talking to her friend of God.

He is restore the city or cities there has been some many towns and city that would call themselves Christian but does God reign in those place not really.
‘They will rebuild the ancient ruins
    and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
    that have been devastated for generations.’ Isaiah 61v4 

So I encourage you keep seeking God and if he says ‘Do it!’ Do it even if it sounds like the most outrageous thing to say to someone.
He could be telling you to talk to your best friend about God rather than what they did on Saturday night.
He could be telling you to talk to the homeless man you see every day on your way to work.
Or even that neighbor you ignore everyday he could be telling you to say hi.

Help for a stranger

 Well a few months ago me and my sister decided we would use our spare room and put an advertisement on a website called couch surfing. The idea was to take in people planning to visit Liverpool and sight see, in return they don't pay but feed themselves and sleep on our spare bed. 


I have to admit I was really against it at first thinking 'if they don't pay anything why should they stay!'
As you can probably guess God told me off and reminded me of this verse:

'Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? ³⁸ When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? ³⁹ When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
⁴⁰ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25v37-40.


We have a spare room why not use it when these people are desperate, and so I started to do it myself and made myself a profile too. 


There is a reason for this blog as well as what I've just shared, not everyone is called to take someone in but I encourage you to look for a person in need and pray. 


I must share this and it is proof that God's timing was amazing as my last couch surfer (that's what we call them) came for 2 days to see the whole of Liverpool. She actually was gone for hours but she made it back in time for housegroup which I was running.

 Let me tell you, I was going to do a quiz which I changed my mind about after doing my morning devotion about 'Forgiveness'. My idea was to talk and find biblical evidence of why we should forgive and then give people the opportunity to let go of people we hadn't forgiven and give it to God.
Let me also tell you that my couchsurfer was going to come a week earlier therefore missing what I was to share. Timing!! 
 Later after everyone had left we discussed house group and she shared with us something that had happened involving a church and someone she had to forgive, and that she had forgiven that person that night. Also apparently according to my sister she had brought herself a bible just before coming to Liverpool Timing !!! 

'There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:' Ephesians 3v1.

Remember God's timing is everything and you don't realize how much your helping people by giving them a couch to sleep on and many places to travel to in return. 


God Bless

Am I really listening or am I just feeling it!!

Hi guys I have blog for ages so I think it’s about time I update you on the inner workings of my brain. Got to apologies for those who have been reading this and have not read for like ages. I’ve like loads of work to do. Today I going to discuss not one but two things that I have learnt a lot about the last few months.

Go t to be completely honest what I talk to you about I have already learnt myself and I’m still learning it today. Firstly I am going to talk to you about priorities and our own focus. I pondered this a few weeks ago when I was think of what to preach about in my uni. Obviously I changed my mind and talked about a different subject in the end. What do we set are priorities in are we to focused on selfish prayer, Relationships,food, money, TV this is defo one of my down falls and let’s face it Facebook guys. I we to just stop take a break and focus on seeking God for the important things. We will find the answers to those prayers we’ve been asking all along.

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6v24.

Second thing I have been how can I truly listening to God this like the over subject ties in to each other. Am I truly listening or am I just feeling there is times when yes I do listen to Prophetic words and scriptures that could be for me that one. But little do I know It couldn't be for me I could just be a word for all of us. also there is times when I think am I just feeling like its from you. You know when your studying and you open the bible and its just what your feeling.

'Test and see that the Lord is Good' -Even if there is a person that shares a word that Is usually right test it, If you feeling blue test and see that the Lord is good. I always find that the best words come from him and only him. Even if they are conflicting.

Thanks and remember LISTEN!!
