LIKE BRINGING A KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT

TWENTYSEVENTHmarchtwoohohseven

qifa primary day.
it went well.
i am satisfied.

the Holy Spirit showed me this morning that,

" It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. " - Philippians 1:7

***this post shall be about what i have caught from the G12 Conference, as JTeo has requested.

one thing i have definitely caught is the spirit of FAMILY.
the key idea is that: the church should and will provide EVERYTHING that we would ever need.
and i really see God's family fulfilling that.
love, acceptance, friendship, laughter, fun, discipline, values; everything.

the spirit spoke to me about the condition of my heart.
my spiritual family (or church friends) should be the CLOSEST friends i have.
my spiritual family (or church friends) should provide all the HAPPINESS and JOY i need.
my spiritual family (or church friends) should be a BLESSING to me, or rather vice-versa.
my spiritual family (or church friends) should be the friends i LOVE most, and vice-versa.
not my secular friends.
was that so?

i couldn't say, then.

but that has sparked a change in me.
that, really, if we all believe in the same vision and proclaim its truth, then shouldn't we be the best of the BEST friends? since we believe we are all headed for eternity TOGETHER?
or have we not really caught the VISION?

i think i have never really cared about my spiritual brothers before as much as i do now.
no, not that i didn't care for u guys at all before, i mean just not as much now.

yup. i mean, if all goes well, i really do hope to see all of us rise up to be great Warriors of Light. i want to be there at all of ur weddings. i want to be there when u have ur first kids. i want us to be there for each other, for life. seriously. do u get it now? we are here for each other. that's what we were meant to do from the start. to LOVE and CARE for each other as though we were LIFE buddies because we are. o that i won't see a brother fall away from us.

oh, and back to the Scripture.
the Holy Spirit conveniently led me to it, to show me Paul's heart for his spiritual family as a model. that "it is right for (him) to feel this way about all of (them)".
yup.

no matter where we all may be in the spiritual battle, we will all be there for each other in unity, "shar(ing) in God's grace" together.

APLEEKEHSHEN: to be a blessing to my spiritual brothers. free webcam or NUS vouchers or USB tv receiver, anyone?

a FAMILY cares, disciplines, provides, loves.
