To be more Christlike

It's nothing new but today just seems to be like a revelation to me haha. To become like someone we need to spend more time with them! Hence...to become like Christ we need to spend more time with him in his word, in prayers, in fellowship with others that are Christ like!!!

I want to have God rub off on me!!! I want to live more in the spirit and to walk in his power that lives in me!

Got to share this sermon that Paster Maree shared on Sunday 16th of March. I cried during the service it was so good.

Limitations of trapped unresolved hurts

We have the power to choose to walk and apply the spirit that lives within us by the power of Jesus Christ!!

Gal 5 : Living by the spirit

What happens when we have trapped hurts:

1) Our spikes goes out

We become defensive, harsh and say the wrong words to put people down
What comes out of our mouth is released in our hearts – we say words that will hurt.

Mat 12:34, Pro 4:23, Pro 15:4, Psalm 141:3

2) Our fences goes up

We fence ourselves up and keep others out and they are not able to relate to us
Fear: We have the feeling of something unpleasant may happen. We become suspicious of why others want to talk to us
Mat 4:21, Pro 15:13

3) Our spirit withers and we shrink

We live very small on the inside and it can get very comfortable there.
Jesus did not make us live small but tall standing oak trees!!
Isaiah 61:3 - we are called to display his splendor

We can't bear fruits and reproduce in the small place we are in
Pro 15:13 - A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit
(so have to guard and take care of our tender hearts huh!!)

God wants to tap into our other potentials in our other rooms that we have in our BIG mansion as they are being dusty.
Eph 3:14-21

A song that I used to sing in Sunday School : My God is so BIG so STRONG and so MIGHTY that's nothing my God cannot do. That's TRUE!
Sunday school does play a big part. Its actually little seeds that was sown in our lives but at that time it seemed like just words that came out of our mouths!
