Purifying and Providing.

Purifying and Providing. 

Hello! Well over the past week I have been a busy bee... Myself and my boyfriend went on a road trip in the UK. We visited Dalby- Where we attempted a high ropes tree course, and I myself got a few bruises and poorly thumb, then we traveled to the city of Leeds, where we went to a theater to see a musical called Wicked! After that we found a little bar with a brass band playing which were phenomenal, After Leeds we ventured to Lancaster and had a lovely day there, the next day we spontaneously decided to go to Blackpool, pleasure beach(theme park) it was really great, lots of fun! After Blackpool we drove to Morecambe where Kieran met his band and they gigged on the night, after the long gig came the even longer drive back home!!! And of course the Sunday included Church where we both attended! 

Well that was why I haven't been blogging recently, I've literally had no internet service or the time. So I hope you enjoy this new blog. 

Lets start with some amazing scripture... this is one of my favourite pieces of scripture!
Starting with James 4

-Submit Yourselves to God

''4 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

4 You adulterous people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[b]? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”[c]
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.


11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister[d] or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?''

  I love this, basically resent the Devil, we all have our stuff, our problems that get in the way sometimes, we need to block the devil out, build a wall from Gods foundations -THE BIBLE - THE WORD OF GOD - and just say goodbye to the doubts, the conflicts and horrid thoughts, draw nearer to god, he wants to be in a relationship with you! He will not barge into your life, we have the free will to let God in, open the door and let God draw close to you.
Open the door and he will gently walk in. 

God will purify your heart and mind, from all the badness and negative in the  world, he will provide you with peace and hope for a better future, he will provide you with love, unconditional love, after all he sacrificed his only son for us, for you! For everyone as we are all his children. 
Our great almighty God is a purifying God, he cleanses your soul and mends your heart, he is the ultimate cleaning being, he cleans and cleanses us. But he is providing God, he fills us with fruit for our soul, scripture to feed on, the Holy spirit to have a relationship with! Isn't that just amazing? 
He loves us so much he wants us to be cleansed and at peace with one another, but he also wants us to be spiritually fed, on his words and wisdom.


 
When researching James 4  I came across this brief of the scripture and I totally agree with it .... Your worldly desires cause conflict. Resist the devil, draw near to God. Who are you to judge your neighbor? You boast in arrogance.

You were created for a relationship with God so you can have a humble walk with Christ. Your life is a walk, you walk through things that may stick to you and things you may drop along the way, but you walk forward, sometimes you take a few steps back or sit on a bench when it gets tiring but you can either chose to be with God or without God, I choose God, I choose Jesus, I have searched for something to fill me spiritually and I have found Jesus! 

I hope you find Jesus and choose Jesus, and I pray that you have a humble walk with God, and repel the Devil and draw closer to your creator.

Have a lovely and blessed week! I'll be in touch with more blogs this week!
