Look Ahead

Woah, really love Pastor Phil's blog.
I wanna share this with you!

My thoughts are intrigued by his wisdom....
I was looking at one of his entries, he talked about

Isaiah 43:18-19
¹⁸ “ Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
¹⁹ Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
... after reading it, I prayed a little and understood it further.

It intertwines pretty much with what Pastor Sy talked about on Sunday...

Pastor Phil mentioned about how at times we hold on to our past too much all the success, disappointments, bitterness, failures and sins that we miss out on what God has prepared and called us to do. This eventually affects our growth, and confidence... it kills opportunities that comes in our way. I would think it's like having the ball in your court but because your mind is so preoccupied with the goal that you missed, that you miss out on the chance you are given...
Man.. thats so so true. I dont wanna lose any opportunity to grow, to go closer to God!!!
Here is says, DO NOT REMEMBER THE FORMER THINGS!!!
Many times with natural tendencies we are always recalling the 'memories' that holds us back from growing.

"Forgetting is more difficult than remembering" Pastor Phil mentioned. The way to defeat our own minds and grow is when we can train our mind not to always be thinking about things that kills us on the inside. Dont let bitterness and pride kill your opportunities that is coming your way!

And almost often, we also do things OUR way and assume that it is God's way. There should be no such assumptions!!! Letting go of old ways, before God can come in and make things happen in His NEW ways...
It's just like what Pastor Sy mentioned too.. sometimes you just got to keep doing back to God and get rid of whatever flaws... whatever thoughts.. get it over thoroughly!!! Dunk & cleanse yourself over and over until you know you are totally ready for God to work in your life...

I am thinking about some situations I know... about some friends...
I ask you today, how near is your vision to you today? Or have you been living with/in past success? & some, are you not done with getting over a past soured relationship? getting over things you got upset and bitter about that caused you to distant from God?
Man... when God asked me those questions, I reflected and I spoke to Him...
i pray i pray everyone around me stand strong, have faith and believe and allow God to give you new opportunities...
Get out of your past! (:

Sometimes we think too much like I mentioned before in my earlier post...
Haha. I guess it is really the thought patterns, we spiral around the same issues and complicate them sometimes. We imagine too much sometimes.
But imagination is so powerful....imagine imagine in God...
You think your vision, you know your vision, you wanna make it happen.
Show it to God... your precious thoughts over your desires and .. most importantly your vision.

I thought the way Pst Phil interpreted the word "behold" word was so powerful...his revelations are totally woahhh. Pst Phil see things in a really different perspective.
He said "The future , the new is always something we "see". It is a vision. What do you see? We should ask ourselves this question everyday." Mannnnnn. A vision keeps us going indeed indeed!!!

And towards new things, we should always be open to experience it. God created these NEW things for a reason. New things are New. It might be unfamiliar to us, but we should not judge it just cos' so. Allow God to give us more "new things" and experience it!! God is a God of new....
Woah, I am excited. I wanna experience more new things that would come in my life...
It's new experience each time...
New revelations...
New songs....
New encounters..
Ahhh. My God is totally creative. Always creating. So co0ooOooool to max.

I am praying praying for myself to be ready to take on God's given opportunity.
To fly to fly to experience every new moments and encounters that would come!
I cant imagine my Christian walk being totally boring and I experience the same stuff everday man.... God is just so cool.

I am sorry if whatever I mentioned is a little all over the place...
I read it and just type whatever thats on my mind.
So perhaps from paragraph to paragraph it doesnt really linked up.... hehe (:
My spirit feels so stirred... encouraged... wooooot!! (:

Time to go work on my illustration...
I m attempting to be up earlier tomorrow to go jogging :D
hahahahaha.

Also, I am gonna listen more sermons etc this season!!!
Time to grow in the word of God...
Love it.

Out of here now!
