And the child asked:
Q: Where did this rock come from?

Q: Where did the boulder come from?
A: It probably rolled off the huge mountain that towers over our village.
Q: Where did the mountain come from?
A: The same place as all stone: it is the bones of Ymir, the primordial giant.
Q: Where did the primordial giant, Ymir, come from?
A: From the great abyss, Ginnungagap.
Q: Where did the great abyss, Ginnungagap, come from?
A: Never ask that question.
Consider the seeming paradox of the First Cause. Science has traced events back to the Big Bang, but why did the Big Bang happen? It's all well and good to say that the zero of time begins at the Big Bang - that there is nothing before the Big Bang in the ordinary flow of minutes and hours. But saying this presumes our physical law, which itself appears highly structured; it calls out for explanation. Where did the physical laws come from? You could say that we're all a computer simulation, but then the computer simulation is running on some other world's laws of physics - where did those laws of physics come from?
At this point, some people say, [b]"God!" [/b]

Your mess is your message. My mess is my message

Your mess is your message. My mess is my message
Aren’t you tired of people who have not been through anything preaching to you about “a messed up life?” How do they know if they have not gone through anything messed up in life? How do they know what being hungry feels like if they always had food on their table? How do they know about poverty if they have never been outside of 90210 area code of the rich and famous?
How can one truthfully model life if he or she has never worn the ragged garments of life?
See, nothing beats experience. When you experience things in life and allow youself to be saved by God, you then have the right to glorify, to live and mature inside your testimony for the testimony is the message of God's goodness. That’s how Jah uses messed up people like us-like Apostle Paul, like Peter, like David, like Abraham ect as disciples to reach others. God did not use “perfect people who have never sinned” to be his disciples. He used real people—people, that people without vision often call “a fake.”
God uses real living people to naturally, supernatually and passionately illustrate His power. And those who have eyes to see will always see God in these people. See when people who have gone through things praise God, they praise Him from the heart not just from the intellect or from their "professional title". They used their experiences as their reason for the season….How can you not praise the one that saved you from the lions throat?? Why not praise the one who got you out of the serpent's belly?
See when you are down and out, when you are misunderstood, when you are oppressed, when you are homeless, when you are spending time for a crime you did not commit, when you have cancer, when you are bound by haters and gossipers, when you are abandoned by people who were supposed to love you, when you are shot by a stray bullet, when you are rape or drowning in domestic violence, when you are conquered by drugs, low self-esteem, alcohol, promiscuity, prostitution, or when Bipolar is running your life, or when you are deceived by thieves who work hard to pass you as a thief, if only you surrender to the redeemer who sees it all, He will help you, bring you out of the storm and use you for His glory. And you will spiritually stand to speak and help those who are where you used to be and also fellowship with those who have made it through the storm as well. (As you already know, when one or two gather in his will, He’ll be in the midst.)
We (believers, Priests, student of the Holy spirit, travelers ect...) answer our call and step into our destiny just by being obedient. By asking for help and allowing God to turn our negatives into positive and use us for His service. Then, surely we will then be free to be a witness and stand inside our soul to tell our message. Who is more fit to testify that --GOd IS…
Thank God for people who have been through some things!!!!! They are the perfect script to a perfect movie about God's power in this life
As blessed people who hold extra gifts (called artists or any other CALLED professionals), we voluntarily and/or involuntarily use our life journey in our art form. that’s how we become more than just "an artist", because of the anointing upon us, we have no choice but to give God a complete YES and step into priesthood in order to fulfill our spiritual assignment on earth. (Selah = think about it)
Again, if you are obedient you'll get power from things you experienced because when you’ve been through things, you can stand anywhere at anytime and boldly show God's love and power in your life to those who are willing to see and hear. They will see God in you when you sing, "I've suffered but I am here because God saved me. Hence, NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER." And you shall stand and teach those who are willing to learn about the supernatural power who is always ready to help them overcome it all if only they are willing to leap into the unknown by faith. (see, before telling others to leap into the unknown, you have to first leap and experience the unknown in order to have a personal relationship with the power and authority of the unknown). Remember, there is no testimony if there was no test!
Thus, don't be afraid to live and share your journey. See, truth is truth. It stands alone. It is not truthbecause of who we are but is truth because of who God is. God (not religion) is true. Silent no more. Let your true experiences be your message today.
Here’s the math.
I was lost….and now I am found
Here’s the translation,
My life was a mess and now I am the message.
Here’s the goal.
Those who are ready to eat shall consume it and those who are not ready will continue to disprove truth and perish.
Blessings Beloved.
You really inspired this message out of me this morning.
Life is like a school. We are all in it but not all of us will pass the test because not all of us believe enough to study for the test
One love.
