dressing up for God.

Hello, it's me.
How's your life going?
Today hasn't been bad, I had a really lovely time with the lord this morning.
And it hasn't stopped.
I've actually dressed up for God, I went through my wardrobe, and found something that I think he'd like.

It's a David Lawrence dress.

Why is it important to dress up for Jesus and come right as you are, because you are loved.
And he never comes in by force.

I've been pretty angry, with someone all day, and anger isn't right, nor is it good.
It doesn't do any one good.

And I don't want to be controlled by anger, nor am I wanting to let it eat me up.
I have rain on my heart, and I want to be free so badly.
And not in conflict.

So I found a way around it, and that was going through my wardrobe, dressing up for Jesus.

ANd he said I should wear this dress to church.

See anger doesn't do any one any good, and  you can cry all you want, you can even tell your friend, and that helps, but think of the other person.
That other person, is made in the image of God.

And when you hurt that image, you really hurt God.

Having a true heart of repentance.
See you might think about going in, and ''sort it out'' because it was such a personal attack.

But it doesn't help anyone, if you get all fed up, because of it, you won't get very far if things start to unravel.

I have a great fear, and I'm working it through it, not very well but I'm working through it.
You just can't go it alone.

You need Jesus, the precious name of God in your life.

It got me thinking about my own life, and how hard it would be if I gave up.

See people who give up, are without hope, with out hope we are like ships in a storm with no anchor.

Tossing and turning in the storm.

We need the sweet release of God, to release us from all anger.

Today might not have gone the way you wanted it to go, you might have been so upset, and the person who upset you is perfectly fine.

See in Hannah's day, there weren't' any visions, or dreams.

Hannah goes to Jesus with one.

We need to be bold like her, approach, the thorne of God without being wimpy, but boldy and ask him to take whatever it is, and deal with it.

He can take our upsetness, the one you know that just you can't control, or will people help you out, but just let you cry.

The fight might be raging, but we know one that will fight our battles for us.

Don't give up, when there's a battle on your hands, press into God, that's when you get your armour out and you fight.

You might have a deep fear, that you'll turn out like your family.

And there was a point in time I'd tell God, Lord I'd gladly die for you, than to go through it.

But he wanted me to go through the pain, to be refined and in his hand.

He was talking to me about being released by the spirit, to do things.
  you have the power to do some releasing in your own life, you are not crippled or living in the past.

And our family are one for living in the past.

Remember when, that happend, or this happened, or whatever.

And it's taught me, to live in the past, because it was passed down.

There might have been good things in the past, but today look at today and thank God, dress up for him.
Tell him what you're needs are

Tell him, right now, what you want.

He is a man to be trusted, and he will set you free of the past.

Don't live in it, live in the furture.

Don't be angry at the person, cause you're only upset and angry at yourself.

And if you need a support person,for some human intervention go. But do it wisely.
Not to get anything back,  don't do an eye for an eye.

What would you achieve if, you just give up now?

Dress up for God, put on your best clothes and dress up for him, and see what he says.

And easy way, to defuse the anger, and love sometimes might be tough.
It might be grity, it might be hard to take.
 a hard pill to swallow.
but it must be done.
You're not only setting yourself free, you're setting that other person free.

Go to Jesus, tell him excatly what you need
It might be amazing grace, in this moment, it might be that you need to care for a person who couldn't care less.
It might just be ''what can I do to help'' when it's a mary moment.

But never ever send out invites to an angry party, and put an rsvp on it, you won't get many returns.
