Make room for the Overflow

The word "Overflow" didn't give me rest for weeks. I don't know why but whenever I heard the word overflow it did something to my spirit. And the funny thing was, I kept stumbling over this word everywhere. In songs, in sermons, in the Bible and in everyday life. And then there came a sermon of Pastor John Gray up on my YouTube suggestions with the exact title and it all made sense.

He said, She said, God said

I have noticed something about children. Children choose to believe what others speak into their life.
Tell a child: "you're a good girl" or "you're a very smart boy" and it will show in the way they behave because they accept and believe the words others speak into their life.

Childish

And He said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, 

you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 

- Matthew 18:3 NIV

You know kids. When they hurt themselves they come to their parents screaming and crying and complaining like they need an ambulance even though they just tripped. I don't know if this is something only german parents do but they blow on the pain. And the child will believe that the pain has been blown away by their parent.

Oh so that's how you feel huh?!

There were times when I felt like God has forgotten about me. There were times where I felt unwanted. There were times where I felt like I was a failure. There were times where I felt like I did'nt have a purpose. But here's what this is: they were all just feelings. Feelings come and feelings go. One second I feel like I am  not going to talk to someone ever again and in the next moment I feel like they are one of the best blessings of God in my life.

Do not be deceived

They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
 1. John 4:5 NKJV

Isn't it funny how the world can make every bad thing sound "good"? We say things like "I'm a bad b***" or "H*** stay winning" without actually thinking about what this means. We say "I am petty" (guilty) with so much pride. We just need to listen to a rap song nowadays, all their talking about is how many girls they have in several countries and what they are about to do to them (not being literal here). All these things happen today and the world loves and applauds it.

The power of silence

"Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world." - Psalms 46:10 NLT

The Spirit Of Man Is A Lamp Of The Lord

The human spirit is the lamp of the LORD that sheds light on one's inmost being.

-Proverbs 20:27

As believers, I believe we have the gift or the ability, to see people for their spirits. We hear things like "I really love your spirit, it is so uplifting" or " I just don't like this or that's person's spirit because it seems to weigh me down whenever I am around them".
